WHAT WASHINGTON WANTS.

Senator Scott was very favorably i'm
pressed with all that he saw in Wash
ington State. He spent two days
among the canning houses along the
Columbia river, and was much inter
ested in the salmon fishing. 1t is all
done with immense nets. which are
pulled in by horse power, and the fish
ermen construct houses on piles out in
the river. They sell the fish for four
cents pound, and their average weight
is 80 pounds. If net brings in 20
salmon, it will be seen that the value
of the haul would be $40.
Senator Scott also went over the
ground of the proposed canal to con-
meet Puget Sound with Lake Washing
ton, for which Congress will be asked
to make an appropriation of about ST.
600, 600 The lake is a fresh water
body, and it urged by the advocates of
the improvement that it is admirably
adapted for a station for the United
States warships, inasmuch as it would
prevent the destructive growth on the
vessels while lying in salt water. The
same argument is advanced in favor of
the merchant vessels loading at that
port for Japan and other Oriental coun-
tries

Senator Nathan B. Scott arrived in
the city yesterday morning, accompa-
MED by his wife. He returned home a
week or two earlier than he expected,
on account of his abandonment of a
contemplated trip to Alaska. Senator
Scott found upon his arrival in Seattle
that he would have to wait nine days
for steamer to the new Eldorado, and
as there was urgent business requiring
his presence in the East, he decided to
postpone the trip. He was accompa-
MED by a practical mining engineer,
who is interested with him at Cripple
Creek, Col, and who was to go with
him to Alaska. 1t was not Senator
SCOTS intention to go up the Yukon
into the Klondike country, however.
Senator Scott and wife visited South
ern California, going down as far as
the Mexican line, and also spent some
time at Cripple Greek.
1T is very instructive and interest
ing trip" he said during the course of a
chat with Register reporter. Il was
agreealy surprised to meet so many
Eastern Congressman, many of whom
had never before been farther west than
the Alleghenies. | think it would be
an excellent thing if the New England
members of the national legislature
would make a tour of the West. and
see what a magnificent country we have.
Their ideas are apt to be narrowed if
they spend all their lives up in the New
England country"

ABOUT CRIPPLE CREEK.

Readers of the Register are familiar
with the facts in connection with Sem
ator SCOTS rich strike in the Cripple
Creek gold region. He owns one-fourth
interest in a magnificent property.
Cripple Creek has the finest gold min
ing camps in the world, beyond a
doubt he said to the Register man.
Then he added: IF you are going to
say anything about Cripple Greek,
wish you would urge readers of the
Register to be careful about being in
weighed into investments through the
representatives of oily-tongued specula-
tors. Cripple Creek has been injured
by the schemers who have unloaded
wildcat stocks upon the people in the
Eastern cities. and | know that some
of my friends and neighbors in Wheel
ing have been taken in. They sell
shares in gold property, of the par
value of one dollar, for from five to
twenty-five cents, and in most instances
their property is located outside the
mineral belt. AS a matter of course,
they may find gold, but they will be the
pioneers in the wildcat territory, and
their chances for making a rich strike
is about one in thousand. Persons who
want TO make any investments in the
Cripple Creek region should consult
some reputable attorney in Colorado

1t is related that the little daughter
of a governor amazed and amused her
hostess and shocked and scandalized
her mother during a call at a Pacific
avenue residence. The juvenile visitor
had received a slice of delicious cake,
which she ate with much relish.
What do you say to the lady?" asked
her mamma, who is very proud of her
darling's graceful manners.
There was no reply from the darling.
"You want to say something to the

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
IA TALK WITH MRS. PINKHAM.l

A woman with the blues is a very un-
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
the blues" nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs of
generation.
1t is source of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
BUSINESS in women. These troubles arc
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinkham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough COM
mon sense, and is the counsel of q
learned woman of great experience.
Read the story of Mrs. F. S. BENNETT.
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol-
lowing letter:
DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I have suf-
fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
a weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, 1 wrote to yovI
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
II am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than 1
have had for the past ten years. I
wish to say to ali distressed, suffer
ing women, do not suffer longer, when
there is one so kind and willing to
aid you"
