HILLS NEW SEAPORT.
Great City Planned Near Mouth Of the
Columbia.

Tacoma. Wash.-James ]. Hill has
directed the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern railroads to build the
city of St. James az Il new ocean sea
port on the Columbia river at Gray's
bay, sixteen miles inside the Colum
bias mouth. This new port, together
with the famous North Bank railroad
which Hill is Building down the Co

name and Cenius in western railroad
construction.
The North Bank railroad will be ex-
tended from Vancouver to St. James

through the vast forests of southwest
ern Washington to Willapa harbor and
Gray's harbor.
Hills ocean business from the Co
lumbia river will be conducted at st.
James at the expense of Portland and

NERVOUS DEBILITY
A Scranton Woman Tells How Dr..
Williams Pink Pills Made Her
Well and Strong.

Nervous debility is the common name
for what the doctors term neurasthenia.
1t is characterized by mental depression,
fits of the "blues," or melancholy, loss
of energy and spirits. The patient S ewes
become dull, the pink fades from the
cheeks, the memory becomes defective so
that it is difficult to recall dates and
names at will. Some of these symptoms
only may be present or all of them. The
remedy lies i'll toning up the nervous
system and there is no medicine better
adapted for this purpose than DIR.
Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs. Jane j. Davies, of No. 314 War
rem street, Scranton, Pa, says: "Some
years ago 1 became greatly reduced in
health and strength and my nervous
system became SO debilitated that l felt
wretched. Icould not rest or sleep well
at night and woke mp as weary and
went to bed. My head ached in the
morning and often there was pain in
my right side which was worse when l
sat down. My nerves were OIL edge all
the time, every little noise bothered me
and i was generally miserable. Then
decided to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People, ms my husband Ind taken
them with good results, and they did
wonders for me. Now have no more
pam Ill my slde, 10 more headaches, L
sleep well and feel strong and able to
do my work"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills cured Mrs.
Davies and they can do just as much
for other weak, pale, ailipg men or
women who are Slipping into hopeless
decline. They strike straight at the root
of all common diseases caused by poor
and impoverished blood.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists, or will be sent postpaid, ON
receipt of price, so cents per box, six
boxes for $3.50. by the DR.. Williams

ALASKAN CABLE IS BUSY.
Line to Be Dupiexed and 200 More
Miles Added.

Few people who have not been over
the ground have any conception of tine
wonderful development of Alaskan in
terests and trade. For instance, the
commercial receipts from the Alaskan
cable and telegraph lines for the
month of July amounted to S24 000
The rapid increase in the demands
upon the system will be met by the
government by duplexing the cable.
The cable ship Burnside. which il
to install the duplexing apparatus at
the Alaskan end of the cable, will
carry about 200 miles OF new cable
for the extension of the service to
Ketchikan. This extension will be
effected by tapping the lines from Sit
ka to Juneau at Cape Fanshaw. From
that point branch line will be ex-
tended down the Wrangel. then to
Hadley on Prince of Wales island, and
then to Ketchikan. which is only 90
miles from Fcrt Simpson. the English
town which Is to be the terminus of
the Grand Trunk and Pacific railroads.
1t Is believed that this aG ditional
200 miles of cable will largely increase
the cable receipts, as 1t taps coun-
try rich in mines, fishery and canning
industries and greatly in need of daily
communication with the United
States. It ID expected that this new
line will be completed by November l.
