More than two thirds of your life you wear shoes, did you ever think of that? The Dr. A. Reed Cushion Shoe was built to give your feet comfort two-thirds ot your life, the rest you sleep. S. A. G1MRE 43 Bond St., opp. Ross, Higgins & Co. WANTED GENTLEMAN OR LADY with good reference, to travel by rail capital; salary $1072 per year and ex penses; salary paid weekly and ex penses advanced. Address, with samp, Jos. A. Alexander, Astoria, Ore. dosed was $33,000,000. Of this total for new building and important repair and remodeling work, the government spent $19,000,000, the District of Columbia, five or six million and private capital the remainder. At the present time the government has under construction the great Agri cultural Department building, which will be when finished, a $3,000,000 or $4,000,000 structure; also the National Museum which will be a marvel of beauty and accommodation costing near ly as much; the new office building for members of the hou-e, costing more than $2,000,000; the senate office building, for members of the house, costing more than $2,000,000; the senate office building costing between .2,000.000 and .$3,000,000. In addition a bill is pending and will probably become law, providing for pur chase of the sitf and commencement of work for the gre.it State Commerce and Labor and Justice Departments building, the site and structure to cost $7,000,000; and a new home for the Geological Sur- which will co-t 1,200,0K) will also probahly be commenced after the elo-e of this session. A beautiful District of Columbia building is going up, and there are nmerous other edifices of less im portance, which add greatly to the build ing prosperity of the capital. One city receiving the profits to be derived from expenditure of $33,000,000 in building operations for a single year, has an income from this source of no mean proportions. That the period mentioned will not be exceptional for the future is regarded certain, as the work confidently contemplated now will n-qiiire many years for completion All of this vast expenditure is for building alone, and does not include the large sums disbursed by the government for laying and maintaining miles upon miles of excellent pavement, and the multitudinous other expenditures of the Federal Government at its home. Aggressive Men Needed. Anxiety on the part of Oregon people for the House Committee positions that have usually been ace rded the state's congressmen, grows a the Congress is prolonged with both positions practically vacant. Neither of the Oregon members have been asked to vacate the appoint ments accepted, but it is by member ship and active participation that ad vancement is won, and the practical vacancy for two yeain will have the effect of putting Oregon far down the list for even states with but two Con gressmen. Tbe evil influences of such conditions will be felt for some time, and Oregon interests in touch with conditions at the capital hope that the choice of the people at the June election will ha ve the capacity for aggressive efforts in committee rooms. Baker City Appropriation. Assurance is given by the leaders of Congress that the omnibus building bill will be passed by both houses before ad journment. This will probably carry $17,000,000 to $19,000,000. Senator Ful ton has! pending all of the bills for Oregon structures which he thought could be forced to the attention of Con gress, and will endeavor to have one or two more buildings included in the gen eral measure.

Favors Common Ownership of Mines, t Roads and Lumber Camps. WASHINGTON. D. C. June T.-Senn-tor Fulton made a speech in the Senate today favoring the restoration to the railroad rate bill of the I'iles amend ment permitting lumber companies am mine operators of Oregon, and the en tire West to own and operate logging roads and branch lines connecting their property with trunk lines and with ad jacent markets. Fulton said these roads are not to be compared with the great roads of the east, which own and operate the great anthracite coal mines. He said that no harm resulted from the common owner ship of lumber camps, mines, and branch roads in the Northwest, and that theer is no call for divorcing of produc tion and transportation in the Northwest and to do so would impede the develop ment of Oregon and Washington.

The argu ment of the Armour, Swift, Cudahy and Nelson Morri Packing Companies, on charges of accepting rebates from tbe Burlington Railway on exports of ship ments, ha1 not been concluded when the court adjourned this afternoon. The Burlington had signed a contract with the packers giving them a rate of 23 cents per hundred from Mississippi point to New York. During the life of the contract the railway raised the tariff to 35 cents. Counsel for the de fendants in its arguments today took the ground that when their contract with the railroad was signed at the 23-cent Tate it was legal and that the railway was bound to carry it out. A. S. Van Val kenburg will tomorrow begin the argu ment for the government. During the day the cases against the Alton and J. N. Faithorn and F, A. Woon were con tinued until next fall. propriation for Baker City's Federal building, with the implied injunction that this was all that could be done for Oregon in that line the present year. But since then the omnibus building measure hasi been started, and it is un derstood that the rigid purposes of the early session have relaxed. The senator has alerady been striving to have at least two more buildings authorized for his state. Whea to Mriior the Foot. Just before gulug abroad one of the male leaders of New York society step-, ped Into bis bootmaker's place to get measured for several pairs of shoes for j use during bis tour. It whs then com-1 part U very early In the day, and the shoemaker, who prides himself upon bis artistic work, usked bis customer to defer tbe measuring of his foot un til about 8 o'clock In the afternoon. "But why not measure me now?" asked tbe soda) leader, with some an noyance. "It li too early, air," was tbe reply. "Your foot has not yet acquired its size for tbe day. If I measured you now the shoe would all be a little too small. Walking about on our feet as we do, air, tbe feet grow, develop, swell whatever you choose to call It-from rising time till about 8 In tbe after noon. At 3 they have their full size for the day. They retain this size till we retire, when they shrink up again for the night; hence to have well flitlng, comfortable shoes It is necessary (0 be measured in the afternoon." New York Press.

Many years ago a well known New Yorker, one of the Livingston family. who had lived for many years In Flor ence, used to drive slz-ln-band there every afternoon. He was a very ec centric individual and gradually In creased the number of his horses until strangers In Florence would note with amazement every afternoon on the Cas eins a white bended gentleman driving an extraordinary procession of horses harnessed together two and two, some times as many as eighteen. It was one of the sights of Florence. Old Mr. Liv ingston tooled bis team safely for a few years, but finally they bolted and ran away. Nothing could stop eighteen horses, and tbe smashup was some thing terrific. After that the authori ties of Florence forbade Mr. Living ston to drive more than four, and In disgust be shook the dust of Florence from bis feet and never returned. , The barkentine Echo is expected here daily from San Francisco. in CASTOR I A fox Infants and Children.
