LEAVES HIS BAKERY,
Olympia Business Man Mystic
riously Disappears.

OIympia.-The friends of Herman
SchwarZbach, proprietor of the city
bakery, here are becoming anxious
over his whereabouts and fear he
may have met with foul play.
Schwarzbach left his place of bust
ness at 100 o'clock last Thursday
afternoon and was last seen walking
up Fourth street to the east side. the
next day his place of business was at
taChed, John Harbst asking for re-
ceiver on complaint that Schwarz-
bach owed him 5000.
His friends say there was no OBJ
ject in Schwarzbach leaving because
of the debt, as his business would pay
off that several times over. They
have been looking for SchwaZbach
everywhere however. and cannot To-
cate him. Inquiry has been made
in both Tacoma and Seattle, but with
out result. 1t is not known that he
had any enemies. He seemed to be
in good health when he left. but was
dOwn-hearted because he had failed
to make deal for the sale of his
property. He had been intending to
sell out and go to Nome He is a
comparatively young man. and I'M
married. and has few intimate friends

AFFECTS RIGHT TO SUPPLY GAS
Decision Against the Citizens Light
& Power Company.

Seattle.-Judge Hartford has hand
ed down decision which grants a
prohibitive injunction against the
Citizens Light & Power company
Daralleling the mains and pipes of
the Seattle Gas & Electric company
and also laid down the law that a
company incorporated under the laws
of one state cannot expand its bust
ness by a mere extension OF its Cp-
eratiOns beyond the boundaries OF the
state to which its allegiance is due.
The litigation between the two gas
companies doing business in Seattle
has attracted good deal of atten-
ton. and the decision rendered by
Judge HanfOrd will be read with in
terest by the members of the bar of
this state as we'll as by men who
are members of large corporations
doing business here.
The Seattle Gas & Electric company
asked for an injunction against the
! Citizens Light & Power company
| upOn two grounds. First, that the
| Citizens Light & Power company is
MOI authorized by its charter to en-
! cage in the gas business anywhere,
and. second, that the latter company
! is pursuing a veXatiOuS course by
laying parallel pipes, thus causing Sc
rious injury and increasing the ex-
pense Of maintenance of the Seattle
| Gas & Electric company
The Citizens Light & Power com
Dany, organized under the laws OF
! New Jersey. That state has what is
! known as a gas ac', and any company
wishing to manufacture or sell gas
! there must Incorporate under that
act. The Citizens Light & Power
| company failed to do this, and Judge
! HanfOrd holds that they have No
rights in this state not granted them
| by the laws OF the state Of New Jer-
| sew. Because they have no right to
manufacture or sell gas the claim Of
! the Seattle Gas & Electric company
that the rival corporation is a tres
! passer is sustained.
No Increase of Rights.
Judge HanfOrd goes on to say that
! it is a common error among business
| men that by extending their business
| into other states than the one from
which they obtained a charter they
| thereby increase their rights and eX-
! pand their powers. He holds chat this
| is a mistake and that it cannot be
! legally done.
The decision is quite lengthy. and
! the judge quotes from decisions rem
! dered by different members of the
| United States court, from Chief JUS
tice Marshall down to Justice White
and he goes into the question eXhaus
lively He fortifies his position that
the Citizens Light & Power company
! has no right to manufacture and sell
! gas, by quoting from a decision rem
dered by the supreme court of the
| state of New Jersey. as follows:
BY the laws of New Jersey, as II
has been construed by the supreme
court Of that state. a New jersey cor
pOratiOn not incorporated under the
gas act has no right to become q
supplier OF gas. and has no capacity
to acquire such right by a grant OF
privileges from a municipal corpora
ton, and this is not because of any
local prOhibitOry statute, but because
the corporation is not endowed by its
creator with any authority whatever
I to engage in that particular business.

How to Care For "Dick."


An equable temperature and immu-
nifty from drafts, with proper food,
will insure the health Of a canary. A
cuttlebone upon which to sharpen the
bill and keep it from getting too long
and plenty Of gravel are essentials.
The red gravel, because Of the tonic
property Of the iron in 1t, is considered
best. Besides the proper mixture Of
seed, which should not contain hemp,
there should be variations Of diet in
the way Of yOlk Of hard boiled
egg, chickweed, watercress, lettuce,
etc. A dash Of cayenne pepper blended
with the egg will please the little cpl
cure. Apples and figs are excellent Oc-
casionally, but If there is evidence that
too much of these has been given their
effect may be counteracted by bread or
cracker dipped in hot water which has
been poured over black pepper. The
cage should be partially covered every
night to provide against fall Of tenn
perature, and 1t is not we'll to hang
canaries out of doors and thus subject
them to the sun and wind. Between
August and November is melting time,
and the birds are particularly subject
to asthma and colds then, although
throughout the year these are the chief
ailments to which they succumb.

How to Remove Hang Mil.

A Disagreement of the finger nails, to
which many are subject and which
causes severe pain whenever an attempt
is made to tear it off, is hang nail. To
remove hang nails various methods are
employed. Some people bite them off,
others cut them, and again some pull
them off, but the best way is to loosen
the membrane Of the nail with blunt
instrument and then cut away the
ragged flesh with pair of scissors. II
the membrane grows too long or rath-
er too high on the finger nails, press it
back with blunt instrument and then
cut of with pair Of curved scissors.
Indeed, the membrane should be press
ed back every day after washing the
hands. Do not. however, be too rough
in the treatment of the nails If you do
not wish to run the risk Of injuring
them at the roots.

A Dozen Different WAYS

When the ordinary citizen intends t.
60 east, or send orr friends or relatives to
come west, the choice OF routes is ques-
ton that always bothers him. He wants
to know if the same route he used once,
some time ago, makes the same time,
same connections, ii the price is the same.
ii ii costs the same to 20 east as it did to
come west. Possibly. he has II lard or
read OF famous points OF interest in the
west or middle west that he overlooked
OH the trip he made. Did not see them
because he had not time; did not know
he could for the same money; did not
know he could get a stopover. There are
hundreds of questions he would have
asked, many things he would like to have
seen and ma::y accommodations he,,could
have enjoyed, only, he did not have time
to look into the subject, and it was too
much bother anyway.
Here is suggestion that will save you
all that tr )uble, vexation and regret. The
Illinois Central Railroad Company runs
east and south from st. Paul, Omaha
and st. Louis, and north from New
Orleans. At these points, it connects
with ALL the western trunk lines, and
through then, with all THEIR western
connec ions. The Illinois Central does
not care which line you use IN the west,
northwest, central west or southwest,
because it connects with all OF them, and
is absolutely impartial to all. All you
have to do is to drop us note tell us
your destination and starting paint. Is
there ANYTHING in the whole glorious west
that you want to see on the way? Men.
ton it. We will arrange for it if it can
be done. Perhaps you will want stop.
over. We will arrange that too ii tits
possible for anyone to do it. Just make
suggestion as to the western line and
we will elaborate it for you; tell YOU the
time you should start, when you should
arrive at destination, what accommoda.
tons yon will en- Joy. what it will cost
you, an itinerary for the trip, and will do
anything that We possibly can to make
your journey pleasant and comfortable.
That's what we are here for. We have
headquarters in Portland; Agents in
Portland and Seattle, and Travelling
Agents that will come and talk it over
with you any time and at any place in
the northwest without its costing you a
cent more than 4 postage stamp. Chi.
cago business is specially with us, but
we have our own rails in dozen different
states eas' of St Paul, Omaha and New
Orleans, and can ticket yon to these
gateways over dozen different routes
Write us. BY the way, do you want a

and Porto Rico? Send me six cents tc

COMMONER FOR 1908.
William }. Bryan's Paper and the Semi.weekly
HERALD.

The Commoner, Mr.. Bryan's paper,
will be especially interesting and in
structive during the present session of
congress. The action OF this congress
will probably determine the issues upon
which the next presidential campaign
will be fought. The Commorer propos es
to carry on campaign of education and
organization to the end that democratic
principles may triumph.
In addition to the editorial depart
ment, which receives Mr.. Bryan's per-
sonal attention, The Commoner contains
a Current Topic department, wherein a
non. partisan discussion OF topics of
timely interest and other valuable infOr-
nation will be found. The Home
Department is conducted by an expert
enced woman who is widely known as a
writer of household topics and who is an
authority on the art OF cooking in all
that the term implies. This department
alone is worth the subscription
price The other departments CT the
paper are all interesting and ably con-
Quoted, among which is Il summary of
the worlds news told in narrative style,
and Maupin's Observation-Disclosures
Common or Not-contains original anec-
dotes and:wit, moral lessons in homely
phrase and verse, and appeals to old and
young alike.
The Commoner as whole is clean,
entertaing and instructive, and its rapid
increase in circulation-now amounting
to l4o,OOO-is proof of the papers
strenc tn and influence
Arrangements have been made with
Mr.. Bryan whereby The Commoner can
be supplied.at very law rate with the
Semi-Weekly Aberdeen HERALD, both
papers for one year for 1925. This offer
apple. to both new and renewal sub
scriptions, and should be taken advan'
tage of without delay. All orders should
be sent to the Aberdeen HERALD Office,

A CorkscreN Steep1e.

The steeple of the parish church at
Chesterfield, England, is often called
the "corkscrew" steeple, for it has got
quite big twist. This is due to the ac-
ton of the sun on the wooden and iron
materials, and the warping is more pro-
nounced In the case Of Chesterfield
church than in any other church in
England. Barnstable and Bristol and
one or two other places have leaning
steeples, but their tendency is decided
ly to clean" and not to twist" The
church at Chesterfield is the nearest
rival in the United Kingdom to the
leaning tower at Pisa.
