A F" certain amount of impurities have gathered in both during the winter. I am no authority for house clean ing1. So far as the man is concerned Cooper' New Discovery taken for two vreeks will bring the desired result. It will positively do these three things clean out the jjjU JU WeHTTIX stomach and bow eh. tone up the system generally, and bring back the snap to body and mind that now seem dull and worn out. 'Try it and see if you won't be as pleased as Mr. Hull, whose letter 1 quote belew: "I suffered a general breaking down of the system. Had no appetite, poor digestion and was constipated. I lost ambition and took no interest in any thing. Nothing I could do seemed to give me relief until upon a friend's ad vice I began to use Cooper's New Dis covery. It helped me from the start. jNow I am able to do as much work as the next one and I enjoy it. I have a hearty appetite and am stronger and better every way. Your New Discov ery medicine is certainly the best tonic and system builder I have ever known." A. W. Hull, 142 Porter St., Detroit, Mich.

Electric- Plant In SL Louts Pnld For Itself In Less Than Two Years. About Dlx years ngo nn Impromptu posse of indignant citizens attended n session of tho city council in St Louis carrying ropes. They threatened to hnng certain members of tho municipal leglslaturo unless a bill for tho relief of tho situation regarding tho lighting of tho streets was passed Immediately. Tho bill was passed at that session, and tho hanging did hot tako place. Llko other cities, St. Louis felt that it was paying entirely too much for its Htroot lighting, and whon tho lights were cut off altogether in tho best residential section of tho city as a part of a boo dllng schemo in tho city leglslaturo aomo of tho citizens took tho matter In hand. Threo years later tho city itsolf be gan to raako au experiment in munici pal lighting. Tho streets wero still being lighted by prlvato concerns, and still arc, for that matter. Tho city proposed to light Its own buildings, Including tho city hall and other structures con venlently grouped, from a plant to ho established and operated under munic ipal ownership. Tho St. Louis rost Dlspatch thus describes how that plan was carried out with signal success: "For moro than threo years past St. LouIh has been operating a municipal lighting plant, furnishing light to city buildings. In that tlaio tho theory of municipal ownership has been put to a practical and exhaustive test right horo at homo and has shown rcmarkablo re sults. Tho cost of lighting tho build ings supplied by tho municipal plant has been decreased, better light and moro of It has been supplied, good sal aries aro paid to tho cmploycos, and tbey have proved competent, although, confessedly, political influonco had its share In securing their appointment. "Chief Engineer "Wood of tho city servlco has charge of tho plant and is constantly receiving inquiries concern ing it from all parts of tho country. Tho plant la In tho basement of tho city hall, tho old heating and ventilat ing plant having been added to and utilized. It lights tho new and tho old city halls, tho Four Courts building, tho oourthouso nnd No. 0 engine bouse. "When It becaino certain four years ago that this plant was to bo estab lished, tho lighting company voluntari ly reduced Its bid for lighting those buildings from 13 to G& cents per kilo watt hour. That was tho Initial vic tory for municipal ownership In 8t. I Lonls. But it was n victory with a J "trlng to it Tho reduction had tho ef fect tho lighting company evidently In tended. Tho city's movo to establish a J municipal plant, for which tho mouey had already been appropriated, was. temporarily nrrested. t "Then tho light company put its Prl up to 7V5 cents per kilowatt hour. Result, the municipal plant was built, la splto of further opposition. Slnco, then Engineer Wood has produced light ' &t an annual averago cofat of a Itttlo ' orer 2 cents per kilowatt hour, and now J u costing less than 1 cent per Kilo watt hour. In tho first twenty-three cxiths of Its existence this pluut paid for Itself In tbd dlnY-renco between tho cost of the light It furnished and tho seven and a half (not tho thirteen) cent rnto tho lighting company was for merly charging tho city." A Fortunate Texan. Mr. E. W. Goodloe. of 107 St, Louis St., Dallas, Tex. says: "In the. past year I have becotna acquainted, with Dr. King's New Llfo Pills, andj do laxative I ever before tried so( effectually dlspowei of malaria an, biliousness."

On tho subject of "Causo of Pro gross," Mr. Chamberlain said in part: "Tho Lewis and Oinrk expos ition held in 1905 Las been a primo factor In tho development of Oregon. It Bhowcd to our people whnt they woro capablo -of doing -4f they would only act as a Unit. To mako tho exposition a success, tho stato through Its 'lcgl3lnutrc, nnd ovry county, mulclpality nnd Development Lcnguo no well, determined upon success, nnd tills exposition has proven moro strongly than any thing clso that success can only bo achieved In stato development, us in all oIbo, by co-oporation. But this exposition did mora. It attracted tho attention of ovory section of our own nnd of many foreign countries as wolL to n stato that up to that tlmo hnd boon practically unknown. For yonrs It has boon botweon "tho upper nnd nether mill stono." Tho great continental railway on tho north had oxponded thousands of dollars for advertising Puget Sound; nnothor to tho south of ub had spent many thousands moro advertising California, nnd though both of theso corporations had drawn lnrgo rov cntto from our producers, both shamofiilly nogolectcd us. Through tho Instrumentality of tho exposition Oregon advertised horso f , nnd thousands of pcoplo who had heard of Pugot Sound or of California nnd tho Golden Gate, but who had never henrd of Oregon, hogan to turn their eyes nnd tholr foot stops townrd this maanlflcont stato.

This Is ono cause of our progrosj, nn Influx of population and wealth such as Oregon nover know boforo, Slnco tho exposition, thoso great rail way companies which prior to that tlmo had ncglocted us nro hoglnnlng to do a little advertising for Oregon, nnd this Is doing much to nsslst in. commercial jxnA Industrial develop ment.

September, pledging it tholr support nnd Inviting our pco plo to participate in its deliberations. Tho opening up of tho Columbia River hns dono much toward tho dovoropmont of Enstorn Oregon by cheapening tho coat of transportation and adding to tho profits of tho pro ducer, and tho hopo for tho opening of tho Willnmetto River nnd other navlgnblo streams and harbors of tho stato will add materially to tho wealth of Westorn Oregon. Then, again, tho mngnlflcont lum ber intorcsts of tho Btato havo added moro than all tho rest to our pron porlty, and this notwithstanding tho fnct that moro than ouc-fltth of our torrltory In nrcn, covered as It is by splendid forests, has boon withdrawn from us on sulo.

It scorns unfortunato that Oregon should bo pnrcolcd out, trafficked in and despoiled by tho ono great rail way corporations that controls hor doatlnles. Especially Is this truo when It Is romembored that millions of acres of valuable lands havo boon granted to tho originators of this vast systom of railways, moro than enough In fnct to build nlf tho linos that havo over boon built in Oregon, nnd now they not only do not build but thoy rofuso to comply with tho implied terms of tho grant at least, and sell theso lands to pcoplo who would tako and dovolop thorn. Moro than two years ago I discussed this phnso of this very question and undertook to procure action upon tho part of tho Federal Govornmont In rcferenco to till grant, but without success. Public scntimont must shape tho couroo of theso companies ns it b now shaping tho courso of tho fed- oral authorities In rcferenco to theso matters. Olo of tho greatost obsta cles, therefore, toward tho progress ot Oregon is tho failure of tho com panies that control hor destinies to extond their linos into different parts of tho stato or to- furnish sufficient transportation facilltloa to thoso sec tions whoro lines avo already built Last, but not leant, tho progross of our pooplo Is duo to tho sturdy onorgy of tho old pioneer and his de scendants, who from tho ennly set tlement ot tho stato to tho prosont time havo had confidence In tho fu turo Tholr faith, tholr ontorpriso and thGir efforts havo borno fruit, and all that has como to us whothor in population or in wealth, hns boon duo to tho oxamplo which thoy havo sot."
