FROM NORTHWEST PAPERS
Getting Ready for Winter.

E. N. Crawford arrived home this
week after three months spent in the
Thunder Mountain district. He re-
ports some cool weather up there, but
no snow, although it was storming
when he left last week. Roosevelt,
he says, has about 100 people, who
will stay for the winter, and that
while the Sunnyside, and other mines
are working a few men, the Twentieth
Century has closed down and there
will not be much activity in the dis
trict until another season opens. Pro-
visions in the camp seem to be plen-
tiful, compared with former seasons,
and some things can be purchased
there as cheaply as in Boise. Flour is
worth $3.50 per 100, while meat and
eggs are very high. Groceries are
cheap, tobacco and camp provisions
being secured for only slight ad-
vance over Boise prices.-Boise Cap

LAWSON'S INSURANCE PLAN.

Thomas w. Lawson's plan to take
possession of the New York Life and
Mutual Life of New York is as bold
and broad a scheme and also as un-
certain of execution as any you might
expect from Lawson. He proposes,
through the policy holders voting
rights, to get at the directors in some
way and make them step down and
out so that his committee may name
new directors. There is no other way
that Mr.. Lawson can take possess
sion" of these companies and there
are grave difficulties in the way OF
his doing it by this process. In the
first place the boards of directors are
chosen for definite terms and he
would have to prefer charges against
them in order to GUST them. In the
case of the officers Of the New York
Life who are also directors he would
have no difficulty in making a case,
but against the trustees who have
performed their duties, ne would have
to make specific charges to secure
their discharge.
But Mr.. Lawson's suggestion of
plan is worth considering. There is
no doubt he is appealing to the peo-
pie who really own these insurance
companies and who ought to run
them, namely the policyhslders. Le-
gally, they are the voters. Actually
they never have exercised their rights
because of the difficulty of organiza-
ton. What Mr.. Lawson proposes is
to supply that lack by appointing
committee in each state in which the
policyholders will have confidence and
to whom they will be willing to send
their proxies. Then some man rep
resenting this committee will appear
upon the scene of the next annual
meeting of these companies and be
prepared to cast an overwhelming
majority of the stock for new deal.
1t would be very satisfying if the
Mccall and McCurdy families could
be thrown out the window by this
process. t@4t-i.

large stones as are used in the
monoliths of Egypt. Yet modern en-
gineers have not only quarried larger
stones, but they have taken down the
monoliths themselves, transported
them across oceans and set them up
again in new lands. They could If
they wished, transport and set up
again the pyramids themselves or
build larger pyramids, but the fact is
there is no demand for pyramids In
our times.
1t is very doubtful, the American
says. whether the famous Damas-
Gus blade could stand the strain UNI
dergone by the modern band saw or
whether it contained as good steel as
the spring of an ordinary watch. The
most of the so-called lost arts are
arts which have been replaced with
newer knowledge.

Woman Burned to Death.

While burning rags in ner back
yard this morning, the flames caught
the clothes of Mrs. John Donohue and
burned every thread from her body.
The flesh is buhned to a crisp and
the poor woman cannot passibly sur
vive.. She is still conscious, but suf-
fering terrible agony.
Neighbors rushed to her assistance,
but the flames had accomplished their
frightful work. Mrs. Donohue is
over SO years old. Her husband has
been in feeble health for some time.
They formerly resided in Sherman
county.
A late message says Mrs. Donohue
died about an hour after the accident.

A SUCCESSFUL
PHYSICIAN
DR.. DARN Cores Nearly All
the Ills of Hu-
manitY.
No Reason for Anyone to
Softer After Treating
With DR.. DARN.

Nearly everyone has heard of DR..
Darrin, as he has visited Walla Walla
many times in the past, and hundreds
can testify of their own experience to
his great skill and wonderful success in
treatment of all forms of chronic and
obstinate diseases.
The certificates of cures made by
this wonderful physician would fill a
volume. They embrace every disease
to which humanity is exposed. His
remedies and method of treatment are
painless, almost pleasant, and infalli-
BILE. DR.. Darrin is entitled to great
credit for his almost miraculous dis
coveries in the art of treating disease
and there is no durable known mall
ady that he cannot conquer.
DR.. Darrin's offices in the Hotel
State are visited by a large number Of
people daily. Those that emerge from
the doctors office have nothing but
words of praise for this successful ply
sician and the marvellous cures he is
effecting.
Unlike other physicians who have
become eminent in their profession, the
doctors charges are extremely mod
crate and reasonable, according to
circumstances and ability to pay, and
he will not undertake cases that he
cannot cure or benefit. Consultation free
and confidential between the hours of
10 a. m. and s p. m. daily, for should
there be any cases that are incurable
he will Immediately discover them and
thus save his patients any further ex-
penditure of time and money, which
they might otherwise squander.
An Open Card.
The following open statement is like
hundreds of others that take pleasure
in praising what the doctor has done
for them:
Mr.. Editor, Dear Sir: During
the past three or four months
have been suffering from intense
and severe pains in my back and
hips, so that I was not able to

Darrin's treatment and was imme-
diately relieved and have recovered
my former strength so that 1 can
now return to my occupation.

ADJUSTMENTS
At the keyIor Grand.

Pearl Of Savoy was the attraction
at the Keylor Grand last night and
the house was packed to almost it's ut
most capacity. While Pearl of Savoy"
is one Of the oldest of melodramas yet
it still holds warm spot in the
hearts of theater goers. The Redmond
company was at it's best last night and
each person in the cast gave an ex-
cellent portrayal of the character as
sumed. The play was well staged and
the costumes were in keeping with the
good work accomplished by the mem
bers of the company. The performance
was finished and capably handled.
Mr.. Redmond and his company are
certainly enjoying a splendid engage
ment, the attendance being good each
night. Last weeks business was the
greatest since the company first open
ed in Walla Walla. Mr.. Redmond is
fortunate in his selection of plays and
his efforts to please the public are
appreciated by those who nightly at
tend the theater.
Pearl Of Savoy will be on again to :
night and tomorrow night and at We'd
nesday afternoons matinee.
The pig catching contest scheduled
for Friday night is attracting much
attention and large house is expect
ed.

JIM HILLS SECRET.


ern Railway Record, published at
Duluth, contains what is called "a
Character Sketch of James ]. HILL"
1t was written by w. A. McGonagle,
vice president of the Duluth, Missabe
& Northern railway.
In that sketch Mr.. McGonagle I'M
dertakes to account for Mr.. Hills rise
to the foremost place in the ranks
of successful railroad men and as
signs the following reasons:
Appropriation.
b-Observation.
c-EXecution.
Perhaps all three of them are neces-
sary to account for Mr.. Hill, but the
first one, preparation, will admit Of
some emphasis. How much it figured
in the making of the great railroad
builder and manager is suggested by
the statement that when Mr.. Hill
began as an employee, he prepared
himself not only for the work to
which he was individually assigned,
but also for that of his immediate
superior, so that when an opportunity
for advancement came it was appar-
ent to his employers that they need
not look further for a suitable man
to fill the place." j',.
1t really isn't necessary to look any
further for Mr.. Hills secret of sue
cess. That policy would make any
man a success who would carry it
out. OF course, there are men of
limited capacity who never could fit
themselves for the places occupied
by their immediate superiors, but as
a rule, the subordinate by dint of ex-
ira effort might fit himself for the
work of his immediate superior, but
as a rule the subordinate fails to do
SO, because of Incidence or love Of
pleasure or lack of spirit
They have a term in the theatrical
world which describes this relation.
They call it that of an understudy.
The understudy is selected from the
company as the one best qualified to
take the part of the principal in the
event of illness or accident. That is
mere precaution on the part of the
management The disposition on the
part of the individual to prepare one
self to do as we'll as the principal
the principals work is born of ambi-
ton, and ambition is the spur to sue
cess. The man who mas no inclina-
ton, no desire, no intense purpose to
succeed will not care to prepare him.
self for station above his own, but
the man who has such an incentive
and who follows this simple rule of
Mr.. Hills early life will land at the
top.
1t is a very easy rule to learn and
one which learned and pondered and
followed by any young man of today
will bring him success despite the
theory that the present monopoliza-
ton of opportunity has deprived the
young man of today, without money
or influence, of the chances Of sue
cess which offered a generation ago.
