BENCH APP0I1N1
Successor to Late Judge
Gantenbein Named.
OLCOTT PAYS TRIBUTE
Selection ot Ex-TT. S. district At
torney Is Lauded by Multno
mah Bar President
ALFM. Or.. Nov. 24. (Special.)
John McCourt, of the law firm of
'urit M.-Court & Veazie, and for
merly United
States attorney irom
this district, today was apponuea
circuit jude in Multnomah county to
succeed the late C U. Uantenbein,
whose death occurred in Portland last
week.
In making the ' appointment Gov
ernor Olcott said that Mr. McCourt
was not an applicant for the judge
cliip and had no intimation of his se
lection until so informed today.
"I have known John McCourt for
many years," said Governor Olcott to
day in announcing his selection. VIn
fact, many years agro and soon after
my coming to Oregon in 1891 we were
roommates for over a year, while he
was a struggling: young lawyer and I
a cub hank clerk, and our associations
and friendships have been close ever
.since. As a result. 1 am in a position
to know that he will make a strong,
virile and admirable addition to the
personnel of the bench of the state.
"Mr. McCourt made an exceptionally
excellent record as United States at
torney, is a highly successful prac
ticing lawyer, well balanced and level
headed and of high integrity and
standing. During the war period he
served under appointment by the war
department on the Fosdick commis
sion, which had to do with the social
hygiene of army camps. In this ca
pacity he served withovit salary, his
jurisdiction extending over the states
of Oregon and Washington. He was
appointed by me a member of the sol
diers' and sailors commission and
was the personal representative of
the executive office at the funeral of
Governor Ernest Lister of Wash
ington. "Mr. McCourt was not an applicant
for the judgeship and knew nothing of
my intention to appoint him until I
apprised him of it. In his acceptance,
Multnomah county and the state at
large, I believe, may have reason for
congratulation, securing the services
of a man of his ability for the posi
tion. "1 wish to express my deep regret
at t lie passi ng of Judge Gantenbein.
He was a jurist of ability, a patriot in
the high est sense of the term, and
in his death the state has lost a citi
zen of the type which it can ill afford
to lose."
WILSON'S TROUBLE
IS ALL OVER
Had Suffered From Rheuma
tism Most of His Life.
Praises Tanlac.
aoioi
o
"I had been troubled with rheuma
tism practically all my life, but when
I began taking Tanlac all signs of it
disappeared," said I. S. Wilson, a car
penter, who resides at 80 Elm street,
Portland, Or., to a Tanlac represen
tative a few days ago. Continuing,
he said:
"Yes, sir, I suffered with rheuma
tism in practically every part of my
body, but it was especially bad in my
right leg. It pained me something
awful all the time and I had hardly
any use of it at all, and it was all I
could do to get about. It was im
possible for me to raise my-leg and I
could pot step up on a curbstone or j
go upstairs without a great deal of
effort. I could get but very little j
sieep as the pain was so bad it would i
wake me up at all hours of the night, j
When I did manage to go to sleep if;
I happened to turn on my right side ;
my hip would hurt me so I would i
jump nearly out of the bed. I had
suffered so much pain my nerves
were completely shattered and I was i
badly run down. '
"Alter reading so much about j
Tanlac I decidedto try it, and 1 be- j
gan to get better after I had taken :
only a small amount. By the time I1
had taken six bottles I could go up- j
stairs and use my leg as good as'any '
15-year-old boy. The rheumastism j
entirely disappeared and has never j
bothered me since and I can sleep on j
my right side or in other position !
without ever waking up once. I have j
gained in weight and strength and i
while 1 am HO years of age I feel as ;
good as a man of 35. I take a little
Tanlac now every once in awhile, as I
I believe it will keep me in good j
health. I never fail to recommend j
Tanlac for I know what it will do."
Tanlac is sold in Portland by the
Owl Drug company. Adv.

Action Is K.vpecteil.
SPOKANK, "Wash.. Nov. 24. (Spe
cial. Buildine contractors of this
city are expected to take action De
cember 1, declaring all work on the
open-shop basis.
This prediction is based on informal
statements ot leading contractors
made at a meeting of master builders
last week, at which time the unani
mous sentiment was in favor of a
complete open-shop policy. Sigr Jloran,
president of the Spokane Master
Huilders' association, would make no
statement today concerning the con
templated action of the contractors.
The Hurley-Mason company is de
clared to have gone on an open-shop
basis on the coast, and is ready to
come out for this policy in Spokane.

MEN HEED SWAMP-ROOT
Thousands of women have kidney

Women's complaints often prove to
be nothing else but kidney trouble, or
the result of kidney or bladder die

If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition they may cause the other
organs to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of
ambition, nervousness, are often times
symptoms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay etarting treatment. Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physician"
prescript ion, obtained at any drug
wtore, may be just the remedy needed
to overcome such conditions.
Get a medium or large size bottle
immediately from any drug store.

HOOD RIVER, Or.f Nov. 24. (Spe

of judicial history may have been
written here today by Circuit Judge
Wilson of The Xalles. who appointed
committee of three prominent citi
zens to investigate the case of Albert
McHenry and Peter G. Alexander,
charged with larceny from a dwelling
and .or whom a parole had been
applied.
Judge Wilson, in a statement fol
owing the plea of guilty from the
young men, McHenry aged z-J ana
Alexander 21. declared that it was not
his aim to sidestep responsibility.
"But." he declared, "courts have
reached a crisis. A wave of crime has
been sweeping the country. The con
dition is true of Hood River county
as elsewhere. I have been keenly
disappointed in paro.es made by this
court in the two years that I have
presided.
"The court has to consider measures
for the reformation of such prisoners.
but it also has resting upon it the
responsibility to society, and I "have
determined that hereafter applica
tions for parole, before being consid
ered by this court, must first have
the commendation of the seven men
who returned the indictment."

tigate the case of the boys consists
