We are quietly, yet strenuously, in
sisting that the interested citizen of
this great Northwest section shall in
struct himself aptly and fully in the
significance of the title-line above set
forth, in other that he may be con
scious of one of the living commercial
fads soon to merge itself in the web of
the transportation problems now to the
fore; and govern himself in ac
cordance with the real meaning and
subsequent development of the supreme
advantage this city stands for

or foreign destination
For example: The railroad haul to
Astoria is less than to any Puget Sound
port, via the O. E. i S. or the Xorth
Bank road .taking Seattle as a basis.
From Spokane the distance to Astoria
5 85 miles the shorter haul by the
a t i 1',; and by the Xorth Bank
line, 67 miles the shorter. t
From Lewiston, via the O. R. 4 N.
the haul to Astoria is 85 miles the
shortest; a"nd via the Xorth Bank 67
miles again serves to mark the ad
vantage. From Wnllula to this port, via the 0. B,
& K the haul is 85 miles the shortest
and over the Xorth Bank tracks, it is 93
miles in favor of Astoria.
And from Kennewick here, over the
North Bank route, the distance is 67
miles to the good; using always the
port of Seattle as a basis in the calcu
lations. Upon the same plane, it must be
remembered that this port is just 135
miles nearer to the great open sea, than
is Seattle, since its inner or Eastern
boundry, is fyut 15 miles from deep
water. Let these figures sink into your cur
rent scheme of facts, such as you use
daily in the expediting of your business,
and sometime durinjr the year 1908 we
will recall them to your consideration as
having an expressed utility in active
and compensating use.
There is no use disputing these con'
elusions: figures do not lie even at the
behest Of prejudice: They have long
been known in quarters nearest to their
value in demonstrated form ana a
score of millions of money already in
vested say they are exactly and happily
true.

Legislature last winter, is too vivid to
fade in any sort of a hurry; in fact,
his entire handling of the important
position of the Speakership was of a
kind that left no special warranty of His
fufilment of any other great charge,
with any over-weening sense of respon
sibility to the public, his career in Ure

BUTTE, Mont., Dec. 20. A Miner
Miul from Sheridan, Myo., tells ot
the raiding of the eWisner sheep camp
near Arada by 10 masked cattlwnen,
who, after driving away the herder at
the point of a riile, exhausted their
ammunition killing sheep, shooting more
than 800 of the animal. The sheriff
is in pursuit of the marauders. The
sheep are alleged to have crossed the
dividing range line.
A REAL WONDERLAND.
South Dakota, with its rich ailver
mines, bonanza farms, wide ranges and
trance natural formations, is a verit
able wonderland. At Mound City, in the
home of Mrs. E. D. Clapp, a wonderful
case of healing has lately occurred. Her
ton seemed near death with lung and
throat trouble. "Exhausting coughing
spells occurred every flvs minutes.''
writes Mrs. Clapp, "when 1 begaa
giving Di King's New Discovery, the
great medicine, that saved his life and
completely cured bim." Guaranteed for
coughs and colds, throat and lung trou
bles, by Chas. Rogers druggist. 60c. and

These records read bitterly to the people

We imagine the current session is to
be marked with a good deal of asperity,
however it may assert itself, as there
is an abundance of contentious matter
to serve as predicate for uproars and
vicious contact. It is "presidential year"

where such encounters do not end on
the floors of the parliaments, but are
carried to the outer "fields of honor,"
where the gun and pistol take con-

ORDER VACATED.
XEW YORK, Dee. 20. The motion
made by the Western Union and Postal
to vacate the order obtained lat June
bv the attorney-general, looking to the
commencement of suit to dissolve these
companies was granted by the supreme
court todav. The attorney -general in
tended to commence suit on the ground
that the two companies had entered into
an agreement in restraint of trade.
Bad breath has probably broken off
more matches than bad temper, and
that's a good many. The best cure for
bad breadth is the tonic-laxative, Lane's
Family Medicine.
BREWING PLANT BURNS.
BUTTE, Mont., Dec. 20. A Miner
special from Billings, Montana, states
that the brewing plant of the Silesia
Brewing Company, near Billings, burneo
yesterday, entailing a loss of f27.Jw-
partly covered by insurance. j
, A cough cure than can be given to
children without chance of barm is
Kemp's Balsam, the best cough cure. It
does not contain poisons or harmful
drugs. Druggists sell it.
J. E. Henry, formerly in the employ of
C. V. Brown, has tendered his resigna
tion, and will probably engage in other
business.
RELIEVING THE RHEUMATISM
