Nottingham If Governor Chamberlain has received a majority of the people's votes for Senator, I, of course, shall vote for him in the Leg islature.

Mahone It is true I am pledged to vote for Chamberlain as the choice of the people, but I have not- thought of the matter. I dd not know what condition may arise and besides I never cross a bridge until I reach it. J. C. Bryant The question of the election of Senator was settled In the primary and general elections. The condition of my pledge as a candidate for the Legislature was that I would support the choice of the people for Senator. . That is the" only, thing for nie to do and I may be depended upon by my vote to ratify the choice of the peopla as expressed in Monday's election.

A Ga. man was able to keep It up with ease after he had learned the sus taining power of Grape-Nuts, although he had failed in health before he changed his food supply. He says; "Three years ago I had a severe at tack of stomach trouble which left me unable to eat anything but bread and water. i "The nervous strain at my office from 6 A. M. to 6 P. M. and Improper food caused my health to fall rapidly. Cereals and eo-called 'Foods' were tried Without benefit until I saw Grape-Nuts mentioned in the paper. "In hopeless desperation I tried this food and at once gained strength, flesh and appetite. I am now able to work all day at the office and study at night, without the nervous exhaustion that was usual "before" I tried Grape Nuts. "It leaves me strengthened, re freshed, satisfied; nerves quieted and tond up, brain-waste restored, and In tellect brightened. I would ,haAre been a living skeleton, or more llkeljr a dead one by this time, if it had not been for Grape-Nuts." "There's a Reason." T?&me given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

FISH WiiR TO CONTINUE TWO NEW SALMON LAWS GALL RIVAL FACTIONS. Ban on Wheels in Dispute, but That on Fishing on Bar, in Channel and on Sunday Holds. Enactment of the two fish bills for the Oregon side of the Columbia River, at Monday's election, galls the rival fisheries to bitterness even worse than that which characterized theiji fight before election. The Astoria bill abol ishes fishing on- the Upper Columbia River. The Dalles bill legalizes such fishing. Between the two measures is an obvious conflict, whicli existing law tries to avoid by saying that in case two conflicting bills shall pass, the one receiving the higher number of votes shall prevail against the other as to the matter in conflict. This would seem to make the Astoria bill victorious, since it received more votes than the other, and to abolish wheels, against which It was directed. But here Is the nice point: The Astoria bill says wheels shall be abolished after August 25 next. The Dalles bill says they shall be allowed to operate after Septem ber 10 next. Are the two bills, then, in conflict? May not the Astoria bill be interpreted to mean that wheels shall be prohibited until the other bill becomes operative that is, between August 25 and September 10, a period of 15 days? Aside from this issue between the two hills. The Dalles bill will be- otherwise effective In the following respects: First. UT-of-town visitors are most cordially urged to look through our fine new store, which occu pies the quarter block at the corner of Fifth and Stark Streets. - The very newest and one of the largest stocks of furni ture in the West; a compre hensive and beautiful assort ment of Carpets and Rugs, and a wealth of new and stylish Drapery Fabrics, make a fascinating exhibit to any one interested .in the home ancl its furnishings. a iM r7a .9 v-a FIFTH AND STARK it will prohibit bar fishing; second, it will prohibit night fishing In river channels; third, it will establish the closed Sunday; fourth, it will restrict the size of the nets. These four restrictions on Astoria fish eries are considered very drastic on that part of the river. The fight will be taken into the Oregon Legislature next Winter. NEW LINE IS STARTED Thought Hill Interests Behind Van couver Traction Company.
