Intesesting Swimming Match.

NEW YORK, Jan. ia 3OO-yard
match race between Charles Ruberl
and J. w. Spencer, the two crack
middle distance swimmers of the New
York Athletic club, will be the main
feature of the swimming meet wi1ich is
to be held at the New York Athletic
clubs swimming tank this afternoon.
These two men have repeatedly won
national honors. Spencer two years
ago broke every American record from
200 to one thousand yards, while in
1903 Ruberl captured, with two ex-
ceptions, every United States outdoor
and indoor championship. 1t is ex-
pected to be a highly interesting con-
test from beginning to end. C. NJ
Daniels, Americas champion swimmer,
will be on scratch in the 1O0-yard han
dicap. He has trained hard for the
race and expects at today's race to
make the same record of SO 3-5 which
he made on the last Ladies' day. The
latter record although a great deal
slower than any previous record, was
not allowed to stand, as the event was

5O-yard novice race in which many

Upton is making plans for another
campaign against the New York Yacht
club next year, and the bone of con-

which the popular Irish barOnet al

A letter received in this city from Sir
Thomas says he still has hopes of
capturing the famous trophy, and is
considering plans for the building of a
new challenger which he hopes to have
here some time in 1907. Just what
plans he is making now he will not
divulge, but he is pleased to think that
the next time he comes he can bring a
good, wholesome type Of boat and will
be met by one built under certain re-
strictions that will bar excessive owes.

MILWAUKEE, ROAD HAS MADE
APPLICATION TO THE STATE
OFFICIALS.
Commissioner Snow Believes That the
Proposition Should Be Accepted
by the State.

The Pacific railway, as part of the
Milwaukee system, has made overtures
to the state authorities to secure the
state Snoqualmie pass highway, offer
ing in return to construct a new state
road on the east slope Of the Cascades.
This announcement was made at
Olympia yesterday by State Highway
Commissioner J. M. Snow.
Mr. Snow said: Under the author
ity Of an act of the last legislature
we have had surveys made for bet
ter route for the old Snoqualmie pass
state road and have been able to Sc
cure a route that has a maximum
grade of about per cent, though
most of the way it is but 3 per cent.
Offers to Build Hishway.
1.-The Milwaukee wants to make use
of parts of our right of way and has
practically offered to construct a first
class road for the state from near
Easton to the point where it is pro-
our right of way.
For highway purposes we avoided
all heavy work, but from my personal
knowledge of the country and inspec-
ton Of recent surveys 1 am sure the
using our lines can get bet
ter than a one per cent grade from
Easton to the point where it is pso-
posed to cut through the hills of Sno-
qualmie pass with a tunnel.
Talk of Double Track.
There mas been some talk that the
and Northern Pacific would
combine and bore a double track tun-
mel at a much lower elevation and be-
meath the present Stampede tunnel of
the Northern Pacific, but l am rather
Of the belief that the Milwaukee will
prefer the Snoqualmie pass line. The
state road right of way covers the
best route, but if the railway will
build us a fisst-class road in exchange
for the right of way am Of the opin-
ion it will be a good deal better for
he state to make the agreement"

Labor Is Scarce.

SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 13.-Scarc1ty
Of labor may be a prominent factor
when the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST.
Paul railroad begins the construction
of it's road through this state, and the
possibility Of this is a matter that is
receiving the attention Of the officials
of the company at even this early
date.
At the present time the labor market
in the construction line is very light,
and with the immense increase of
work of this kind which is sure to
follow with the entrance of the varl-
Gus transcontinental roads into this
city a big shortage is looked for.
President Williams, of the Pacific
road when seen yesterday, said that
the labor question is receiving atten-
ton, and that plans are already being
laid for the employment Of at least
9. 900 men. He stated that the length
of time necessary to complete the SoO
old miles of road in this state would
be at least two years.
I'VE shall need" said President Will
liams. "a large construction force, ag-
gregating possibly 1000 men. We
realize the condition of the labor mar
ket at the present time, and are look
ing for some trouble in obtaining the
men we will need. We shall make
every effort to bring laborers to this
section If the state supply is
inadequate"

TOO MUCH MEDICINE
continually


The excessive and indiscriminate
use of medicines, in these days, can
not be too strongly condemned. The
food you eat, if properly digested. is
all the tonic you need.
Only common sense is needed. The
food must be digested and the bowels
must not be allowed to clog. Pre-
serve your health by preventing these
conditions.
Constipation surely leads to indi-
gestion, biliousness, ETC., and these
conditions when neglected affect the
condition of the blood, debilitate the
SYSTEM rendering it susceptible to
more serious ailments, and less able
to resist such attacks.
If your stomach has been abused by
over-eating, weakened by drugs or
sickness, you won't have to stop eat
ing or diet yourself All you need is
in it's functions and relieve it from
being constantly irritated by I'M
digested food. The purest and SIM
plest remedy for this purpose are the
California Prune Waters, a natural
dissolvent made from the pure, fresh
fruit, a general laxative and sweetener
of the stomach-no other medicine is
necessary.
When you are Bilious, it is sign
that your Liver is out of order, and
the poisonous bile, instead OF being
excreted from the body through the
intestines, is taken up in the blood.
AS a result Of biliousness, the entire
system suffers. There are gripping
pains in the Abdomen, Headaches,
