fQEflpENT RATE
Lumbermen Will Bring Fight
- ta Oregon Legislature,
LOOK FOR STRONG SUPPORT
Interests in This State Believed to
,Be Almost as Eager as Any Other
Northwestern State for the t
Eastern Market.
SEATTLE, Oct.. 22. (Special.) The
Pacific Coast Zftjnber Manufacturers'
Association wlltf'not Interfere -with
the Ttailroad Commission fight. This
assurance has been given by Secretary
Victor H- Beckman, -who is directing
the legislative campaign of the lumber
organization for the 40-cent rate into
Missouri Kiver territory.
The lumbermen have given this as
surance to relieve legislative candi
dates of any embarrassment that the
Issue might have aroused. It became
obvious that candidates could not
pledge themselves to govern their
action on the Railroad Commission
light by the concessions tbeflumbermen
might obtain in their 40-cent rate.
It is probable that the lumbermen
will insist upon concessions relative to
the handling of lumber in this state
which they may sacrifice In the event
the railroads will agree to grant the
Missouri River concession. The mill
men have long held out for legislation
op the subject of weights, the granting
of cars and similar matters affecting
the roads. These questions can come
before the Legislature and legislation
might be forced that would entail a
great deal of trouble upon the roads If
forced to abide by the new statutes.
3t is principally on these points that
the mlllmen will yield In the event they
secure the Missouri River rate.
The fight will not be stopped with
"Washington. Plans are afoot now to
extend the campaign into Oregon. The
Oregon elections have been held, but It
is believed by mlllmen of this state
that the lumber Interests in Oregon
could make a strong showing before
the X-egislature next Winter If action
In that state becomes necessary.
If the fight should be lost in the
W&.-hington Legislature the mlllmen
will continue through a thorough or
ganization in this state and other
Northwestern States to force the rail
roads to terms. Tactics similar to
those followed here will be adQpted in
Oregon, Idaho and possibly Montana
More reliance is placed upon Ore
gon's co-operation than upon help from
any other quarters. Mlllmen insist that
Oregon interests are almost as great
as . those of this state, 'and that the co
operation of mill interests in that state
will not be hard to enlist.
With the mills shut out of Missouri
River territory lumbermen show that the
local, foreign and California markets are
affected. This Is due to the fact that a
surplus of lumber that rail-mills would
ordinarily ship East Is diverted to home
or cargo markets. The Oregon mills in
terested in the cargo trade are expected
to Join the movement as have the "Wash
ington cargo mills.
It is announced that the lumbermen
have secured pledges from 181 out of 215
candidates nominated by the Republican
and Democratic parties for Legislative
positions. Verbal pledges have been made
by other nominees, but nothing save writ
ten pledges are accepted by the associa
tion. Circulars are being Bent out this week
to all the mills in the state calling at
tention to the candidates who have
pledged themselves to work with lumber
interests to secure a 40-cent rate Into Mis
souri River territory. The mlllmen are
expected to use these circulars In enlist
ing the support of mill and logging-camp
employes and merchants who are largely
dependent upon the mill trade for their
business.
It is estimated that there are 81,000 mill
and logging-camp employes in the state.
The lumbermen are not to attempt co
ercion, but their circulars explain to these
employes that the opening of the Missouri
River territory to "Washington mills would
mean an Increased market amounting to
23,000 cars annually. This market would
obviate the necessity for repeated closing
movements and the employes are ex
pected to draw their own conclusions from
the showing.
In making the Legislative fight the lum
bermen paid no attention to the Socialist
candidates. It was believed by the asso
ciation that either Democratic or Repub
lican nominees would be elected and the
pledges of these men were sought.
Those nominees who have given pledges
subsequent to the mailing of the county
circulars will be accredited in a separate
circular Issued in the various districts.
Of the 34 members of the Legislature who
have not yet pledged support the mlllmen
expect to get nearly half. As the num
ber now stands, both parties are about
venly represented In the pledges.
In King County all save one Legislative
candidate pledged his support. This Is a
First ward Democratic nominee and the
lumbermen have had no intimation of his
reasons for not agreeing to support the 40-
ccnt-rate fight.
Both A. E. Mead and George Turner.
Republican and Democratic Gubernatorial
nominees, have been asked to pledge
themselves to aid he lumbermen's fight.
A letter has been received from Turner
pledging his support. Mead has indi
cated to the committee that he will write
immediately. The lumbermen's letter ask
ing his position was slow in reaching
Mead.
WOMAN SPELLBINDER FAILS.
Idaho Women Shocked at Theory Ad
vanced by Mrs. Foster.
WEISER, Idaho. Oct. 22. (Special.)
Frank R. Gooding, Republican candidate
for Governor, and Mrs. J. Ellen Foster,
a Republican spellbinder from the East,
addressed a fair-sized audience at the
Opera-House last evening. Mr. Gooding
did not discuss state Issues, confining
himself to National questions only. He
said there was no Mormon question to dis
cuss, as there was no polygamy in Idaho,
Mrs. Foster's address was on the dnv
matlc order, but as a vote-getter among
the women, she is a fiat failure. She stat
ed that a moral question or issue should
have no place in politics, which was a
surprise to many of her hearers, coming.
as it did, from a former lecturer of the
W. C. T. U., and they could not under
stand it.
Senator Fred T. Dubois and William
Hyde Staker, the Mormon speaker, will be
at the Opera-House next Wednesday
evening.
Cosgrove Says Mead Will Win.
GARFIELD. Wash.. Oct. 22. A fair
sized audience heard S. G. Cosgrove, of
Pomeroy, speak at the Opera-House to
day for the Republicans. Mr. Cosgrove
said in part:
"The Republicans who were admirers
of McBride were not justified in voting
any part of the Democratic ticket, for
the manager of McBride's campaign in
the Tacoma convention rose in the con
vention and said 'that in the name of
Governor McBride and Skagit County,
and in the Interests of harmony, he was
Instructed to second the nomination of
Mead for Governor, and that he did It at
the request of McBride.
"Mead will be the next Governor of this
state. Tha pendulum is now swinging
Meadward. and It Is now only a question
of what Mead's majority -will be."

emy's Tentacles.
CRESCENT CITY. Cal.. Oct. 22. The
keeper and assistants at Northwest. Seal
Rock Light Station recently witnessed a
unique sea fight, in which a sea lion and
a monster devil fish were the combatants.
The first intimation they had of the
struggle was seeing the water near by
violently agitated and churned into foam
is though a submarine demon were vent
ing his spleen upon some denizen of the
mighty deep. Soon afterward they saw
a large sea lion come to the surface
In the deadly grip and embrace of the
much-dreaded octopus, whose long, power
ful tentacles encircled the entire body of
the sea Hon, thus apparently rendering
futile all efforts on Its part to escape.
Finally, after repeatedly diving and try
ing in vain to free itself, the sea lion was
seen to bend 7ack its massive, long neck.
open his cavernous mouth and seize one
of the tentae'es of his foe near Its body,
which member It snapped off and de
voured with avidity. This operation was
repeated until the octupus, bereft of Its
tentacles, had perforce to let go, where
upon the sea lion proceeded to feast upon
the body until satiated, after which other
sea lions, who had hitherto held aloof,
although laboring under great excite
ment during the battle, fell upon the
carcass and ate up the residue.
The octupus was fully 12 feet in diam
eter, and would never have released his
intended victim had not the sea lion acted
les som during the month of September,
as above stated, thus vanquishing a foe
who Is feared by all and beaten by few.

OPERATIONS A FAD
Public Gradually Awakens to the Fact
The latest fad In operations has been
the appendicitis fad; before that the fad
for rectal operations (piles, etc.) held
sway. Hundreds of patients were fright
ened and hurried into hospitals, operated
upon and robbed of their last dollar, when
the trouble was a simple case of hermor
rhoids, or piles only, easily cured at home
with a simple remedy, costing but 50 cents
a box.
"I procured one 50-cent box of Pyramid
Pile Cure of my druggist, with the Inten
tion of buying a larger box later, but was
happily surprised when I found that I was
cured, and still have six pyramids left out
of the first and only box. -1 have not had
the least sign of piles since I used this one
box, which has been about two months;
previous to using Pyramid Pile Cure, I
had the worst kind of bleeding and pro
truding piles for over 31 years, and no one
knows, except those who have had "the
piles, the pain and misery I suffered.
"I am a poor man. but have often said I
would give a fortune. If I had It, to be
cured of the piles, and now I have been
cured for 0 cents. I should be very un
grateful If I did not thank you and give
you every privilege to use my name and

PAPAL POLICY IS CHANGED.
Plus Will Not Discuss Politics in
Note to the French Clergy.
ROME, Oct 22. The Pope is now
working- on a circular to be addressed
to the French clergy. It will make no
reference to politics. The pontiff will
merely encourage the social and- re
ligious action ot the clergy.
Tho fact that there will be no allu
sions to politics in the circular is
looked upon here as ending the policy
Inaugurated by the late Pope Leo XIII
and Cardinal. Rampolla, ex-Papal Sec
retary of State, which aimed at the
transformation of the French Catho
lics into supporters of the republic
Pope Pius recommendation being a
union of good Catholics to defend re
ligious interests.
Attitude of Pope in Election.
ROME, Oct 22. The prevailing feeling
among the Pope's advisera regarding the
attitude of the Vatican at the coming
elections seems to be not to abolish the
decree forbidding Catholics to vote. The
Observatore Romano, the organ of the
Vatican, however, in unofficial articles,
urges that the absentlon from voting be
merely to mask th efree band in the
matter left to the bishops, and advises
the faithful to vote when it Is considered
advantageous to do so In view of the" local
conditions. If this decision is definite, the
clericals will not have a party of thelr
own in the Chamber, but will oppose the
extremist and anti-religious candidates.

For the Human -Body In Health and
Disease.
The mention of sulphur will recall to
many of us the early days when our moth
ers and grandmothers gave us our dally
dose of sulphur and molasses every Spring
and Fall.
It wa3 the universal Spring and Fall
"blood purifier," tonic and cure-all, and
mind you. this old-fashioned remedy was
not without merit
"The idea was good, but the remedy was
crude and unpalatable, and a large Quan
tity had to be taken to get any effect
Nowadays we get all the beneficial ef
fects of sulphur In a palatable, concen
trated form, so that a single grain is far
more effective than a tablespoonful of the
crude sulphur.
In recent years, research and experiment
have proven that the best sulphur for
medicinal use is that obtained from Cal
cium (Calcium Sulphide), and sold In drug
stores under the name of Stuart's Cal
cium Wafers. They are small chocolate
coated pellets and contain the active med
icinal principle of sulphur In a highly
concentrated, effective form.
Few people are aware of the value of
thl3 form of sulphur In restoring and
maintaining bodily vigor and health; sul
phur acts directly on the liver and excre
tory organs and purifies and enriches the
blood by the prompt elimination of waste
material.
Our grandmothers knew this when they
dosed us with sulphur and molasses every
Spring and Fall, but the crudity and Im
purity of ordinary flowers of sulphur were
often worse than the disease, and cannot
compare with the modern, concentrated
preparations of sulphur, of which Stuart's
Calcium "Wafers Is undoubtedly the best
and most widely used.
They are the natural antidote for liver
and kidney troubles and cure constipa
tion and purify the blood In a. way that
often surprises patient and physician
alike.
Dr. R. M. Wilkins, while experimenting
with sulphur remedies, soon found that
the sulphur from Calcium was superior
to any other form. He says: "For liver,
kidney and blood troubles, especially when
resulting from constipation or malaria.
I have been surprised at the results ob
tained from Stuart's Calcium Wafers. In
and even deep-seated carbuncles. I have
repeatedly seen them dry up and disap
pear in four or five days, leaving the skin
clear and smooth. Although Stuart's Cal
cium Wafers is a proprietary article and
riold by druggists, and for that reason ta
booed by many physicians, yet 1 know of
nothing so safe and reliable for constipa
tion, liver and kidney troubles, and espe
cially in all forms of skin disease, as thi3
remedy."
At any rate, people who are tired ot
pills, cathartics and so-called blood "puri
fiers," will find In Stuart's Calcium Wafers
a far safer, more palatable and effective
preparation.
