Decisive Naval Engagement Re

DO NOT FEAR THE RESULT
JftpRiicne Coufident That Their
Fleet Will Find No Difficulty
In Blowing I7p8hlp of
tho Enemy,
Toklo, March 8, Tueeday. (Delayed
In tr.nmle!on.) It If believed here
that there has alre&dy been a decisive
naval engagement In the vicinity of
Vladlvoetock and detail of Id art anx
iously awaited. The Japanese fleet did
not. It ! aal'l, go to Vladlvootock for
the pprpoee of bombarding the town,
but ti locate and attack the armored
cruiser Gromobol, Ronala, Rurlk and
the cruller Bogatyr, the ttulan ffeet
etatloned there.
It I underatood here that when the
Japnneee rlect arrived there on Sunday
laet It found the, Ruwlan equadrpn
abeent. If this I true It gave the Jap
anew erjuadron the advantage In the
vuy of avoiding battle cloee to the In
hore batterle. at the eame time put
ting It In a poeltlon to prevent The Ru
elun iihlp re-entering the harbor. It
I doubted that the Japanese withdrew
their entire squadron unltn the loca
tion of the enemy had been discovered,
as It meant surrendering the advant
age of being In a position between the
enemy and the enemy' beee. There
I a strong possibility that the Jap
anese found the Russian ehlps In the
vicinity of Posslet bay and gave them
battle there.
The name and number of ships In
the Japinese squadron have been kept
secret, but It was probably sufficiently
strong to divide Into two divisions, th
one to guard Yladlvostack and the oth
er to cruise In search of the Russian
ehlps. It Is said that the newly pur
chased cruisers KUwhln and Kasauga
are taking port In the present move
ment off Vladlvostock. The navy de.
pivrtment expect to recetv aipatchf
tomorrow from Genua n, where It was
planned that the fleet would call after
the operation Involving an attack upon
the Russian squadron had been con
eluded. The Japanese are quite con
fident In the ability of their squadron
to signally defeat the Russian ships.

CRUSHES OUT
The most loathsome and repulsive of all fJ 4
living thinrs is the serpent. nd the vilest and 4
most degrading of all human diseases is Contagious Blood Poison. The
serpent sinks its fangs into the flesh and almost instantly the poison passes
through the entire body. Contagious Blood Poison, beginning with a little
ulcer, soon contaminates every drop of blood and spreads throughout the
whole system. Painful swellings appear in the groins, a red rash and
copper colored splotches break out on the body, the mouth and throat
become ulcerated, and the hair and eye brows fall out ; but these symptoms
are mild compared to the wretchedness and suffering that come in the latter
stages of the disease when it attacks the bones and more vital parts of the
body. It 13 then that Contagious Blood Poison is seen in all its hideous
Bess. The deep eating abscesses and sickening ulcers and tumors show
the whole system is corrupted and poisoned, and unless relief comes soon
this serpent disease tightens its coil3 and crushes out the life.: The only
antidote for the awful virus is S. S. S, It is nature's remedy, com
posed entirely ot vegetable ingredients. i. S. S,.
destroys every vestige of the poison, purifies the
blood and removes all danger of transmitting the
awful taint to others. Nothing else, will do this.
Strong mineral remedies, like mercury and potash,
dry up the Eores and drive in the disease, but do not cure permanently.
Send for our home treatment book and write us if in need of medical
advice or special information. This will cost you nothing. . ;
WZ SWIFT EPEGIftG CQt ATLANTA JL
Seattle, March 9. The state irrlga-
. - . ,
tlon advisory commission appointed by
t
Governor McBride to look into the laws
of this state and to recommend amend
ments necessary to make the statutes
of Washington conform with the plans
of the general government relative to
Irrigation , work, will meet In North
Yakima tomorrow. Harold Preston and
George F. CotterllL the Seattle mem
bers of the commission, will leave this
afternoon to attend the meeting. '
It is expected that recommendations
to the next state legislature wlJl be
made that will cover the entire ques
tion of irrigation. The law of this
state, it has been found by experts of
the interior department do not grant
to the Interior department the neces
sary authority to convert the waters of
rivers and lakes to general Irrigation
work. Major Newell, who is at the
head of 'the government's arid land
schemes, asked that Washington amend
Its statute and it is expected that the
commission named by the governor will
make Satisfactory rwOrnWendatTOTls to
the next legislature.
The appointment of the commission
was made by Governor McBride as a
result of the agitation begun In Spo
kane county. It was Suggested there
that the different sections of Washing
ton Interested In the movement hold
a conference and discuss tne project.'
A request to the governor that a com
mission be named was suggested, but
the chief executive pointed to the fact
that he did not have the authority to,
name a commission with authority to
act,i '
: The proposal from the Seattle Cham
ber of Commerce that a state meeting
be held to secure the sentiment of
Washington Irrigation men grew out
of the call for a state meeting made
by the Seattle Chamber of Commerce.
This movement was abandoned a short
time ago from the fact that It wa
found the governor had decided to des
ignate an advisory committee) that
would make suggestions to the legis
lature. - v
Of th Seattle members of the com
mittee Mr, CotterUl haa had experience
In Irrigation work. He was consulting
engineer for , the Selah-Moxle canal
built In the Yakima country, and occu
pied a similar position In the High Line
Wenatche canal put through in tbe
Wenatehee valley. The last named en
terprise called for an expenditure of
more than $1:0,090.
S TJie ir -rtned by Gorr MfcBrtd

witt meet at North Yakima are: Har
