DEATH TO FRECKLN

Nine. Nj. Yale was recently
asked the question. (which Of
her discoveries she considered
the most wonderful" Her re-
ply was as follows: La Freckla,
because it unmasked my own
face from a filthy mass of
freckles and gave me the beau
tiful roseleaf complexion which
you see and which has been
admired by the people Of every
nation. Before | discovered
La Freckla, | was a freckled
faced individual disguised with
my own appearance. Today |
am the envy of every woman
who looks at my skin.
La Freckla will remove any
case of freckles in existence
and leave the skin as trans
parent as crystal. One or
two applications remove tan
and sunburn. 1t takes from
three to nine days to destroy
every trace of freckles. 1t is
the only remedy known to the
world that does this. Now is
the time to use La Freckla, as
it strengthens the skin. re-
moves and prevents freckles
and sunburn. SI.oo per bottle.

THE BRIDGE AT ToLT.


Everett Land Company.
About three years ago the King county
commissioners had In contemplation the
erection OF a bridge across the Snoquai-
ME river, near Toit- The river Is only
nayigabie for small steamers. and ToIt
Is the head of navigation for steamers
OF the very highest draught. Some Of the
good people of King county wanted the
bridge built at Toit. and Others wanted
u built mile away from the city. The
Everett Land Company took a hand in
the hight and opposed the erection of the
bridge under the plea that IL intended 10
put lire of whaleback steamers on the
river and that the bridge contemplated
by the county commissioners would con-
stitute menace 10 navigation. by an
appeal to the secretary of war and the
use.o this plea the building OF the
bridge was indefinitely postponed. and
now that conditions are changed Ii Is
probable that the bridge viii never be
built The place where IL was TO be con-
structed was not above Snoou1lmie Falls.
as has been enormously stated.
The matter was recalled by the receipt
OF a letter by Auditor Bemau a few
days since from Daniel Lamont, secre-
tary OF war. Lamont says:
Referring TO previous communications
IN the proposed construction of bridge
over Snoqualmie river by the commission
ers OF King county. Wash. / have the
honor TO inform you that objections 10
construction of the proposed bridge were
filed with this department and fral
action In the matter was delayed TO allow
the parties objecting to prepare heir evil
dence. The said parties have this day
been requested to furnish the department
at an early day such evidence as they
desire to submit"
