Is Actor of AbiIity.-Paul Evertoa,
who will play John Burkett Ryder, the
richest man in the world, in Henry B.
Harris production of Charles Klein S
great American play, THE Lion and
the Mouse" at the Illinois theater to-
morrow, is an actor of excellent abil-
ity who has been before the public
very prominently for a number of
years. Mr. Everton's first notable sue
cesses were scored as leading man
with Nine. Janauschek, with whom he
appeared for several seasons, and in
the same capacity with Margaret
Mather when that talented woman
produced Cymbeline. Mr. Everton
played Iachimo, and shared honors
with the star OF recent years he has
supported Alice Fisher, playing the
East Indian lover in THE School for
Husbands" and two years ago was
the principal support of Edna Wallace
Hopper in "A Country Mouse" and
Captain January" In the last named
play he portrayed the old sea captain
and earned the praise of the critics
for his impersonation of a very diff
cult character. In organizing the COM
pany that will present The Lion and
the Mouse" in this city Henry B. Har-
ris selected Mr.. Everton for the part
of Ready Money" Ryder after pass
ing on the merits of several score OF
applicants. Mr. Everton has a per-
sonality that capitally fits him for part
of the money king, a character that is
generally supposed to represent a very
well known American

Mix half pint of good whiskey with
two ounces of glycerine and add one
half ounce concentrated oil of pine.
This latter comes in one-half ounce
Walls, packed securely in round screw
top cases which are intended to protect
it from light and retain all the original
ozone. Don't use bulk oil of pine or
limitations OF concentrated, which are
often put up in wooden boxes. They
are insoluble and work havoc to the
kidneys. Any druggist has the con-
centrated oil Of pine. 1t will also be
found most excellent remedy for lum-
bago and all forms OF uric acid rheuma-
tism. For this purpose it is taken raw,
few drops on sugar at night and
morning.
Concentrated oil of pine is the result
of many years experimenting by one OF
Philadelphia's foremost doctors who,
after endless research, at last secured "a
truly soluble oil of pine, so make sure
to get the real thing. 1t also makes an
excellent salye to be applied externally
on the lungs. For this purpose it is
mkt with lard or vaseline.

INDIAN IN U. 5. SENATE


Kansas is to have the distinction of
being the first state to be represented
in the United States Senate by an Ind
ian.
Charles Curtis, who has just been
nominated by the republican legislative
caucus for that office, is an aboriginal
American. He is one of the few re-
naming of the Kaw tribe, which is fast
fading away. Both Curtis and his
children received allotments when the
land was being parceled out by the
government.
Curtis in his youth was in turn a
newsboy on the streets of Topeka, a
peanut "butcher", horse jockey and a
cab driver He gained a smattering Of
law by hard study while driving cab
and was admitted to the bar. He was
soon elected county attorney and later
sent to Congress, mainly through the
votes of those who had been his patrons
in his youthful business ventures.
He will begin a full six-year term
March A, which marks the expiration
of the brief services of Senator Benson,
who was appointed by the governor of
Kansas to fill Burton's uneXpired term.
Curtis has been a member of the House
of Representatives for fourteen years.

THE COLD WAVE
Lowest Temperature for More Than
Twenty Years In the
Northwest

The cold wave which struck Wash
ington on the sixth of January and has
continued to the present is the most
prolonged and the severest since the
early eighties in the last century, ac-
cording to the records. At that time
the Columbia river is said to have been
frozen over solidly at Portland. In the
nineties there was cold spell, but it
was of short duration.
On Monday morning of this week the
thermometer touched the lowest point
and was variously reported at 10, l6
and II degrees below zero. For the
past ten days, excepting Friday, Jan.
II, the thermometer has ranged from
l or 2 to Is degrees below every morn
ing.
Fortunately the fuel proposition has
not disturbed our people. There has
always been a plentiful supply OF wood
at reasonable prices.
The most serious inconvenience re-
sulting to our people from the cold
spell has been the interruption in the
light and water service. Many people
have gone back to tallow candles and
oil lamps for light, and melt snow to
obtain water.
The railroad has not entirely ceased
to operate trains, but has been seriously
Inconvenience by lack of coal. At one
time eight hundred loaded freight cars,
east-bound, were tied up between Seat
tie and Everett because of lack of coal.
Mail and passenger trains were moved
thru however, tho all of them were
from three to twelve hours behind.
The boats between Wenatchee and
Brewster could not run on account of
ice in the river and the mails were sent
out by stage.
From Portland, Or, the report was
sent out that all traffic on the Columbia
river had ceased on account OF the big
ice jam, which has blocked navigation
and prevented even the regular trips OF
ferry plying between Portland and
Vancouver. Some ice cakes are half
an acre in extent and fully eighteen
inches thick. and too compact to give a
boat chance 10 get through.
Not since the early eighties, when
the Columbia froze solid, has as heavy
drift of ice been recorded as now
blocks the channel 1t looks as if navi-
cation will have to cease for a week or
more unless sudden change takes
place in the weather, which has been
near the zero point for week There
is great danger of the ice flow imped-
ing navigation on the lower river at
least during the night
The government locks at the Cas-
cades are blocked with ice and all nav
igation on the upper river has ceased.
The steamboats, Bailey, Gatzert, Dalles
City, Capitol, Hercules and Joseph
Kellogg are ice bound at various ports
along the Columbia.

Ia the Cost of Living Than IL Was
Eight Years Ago

The for Incoming biennial report OF
the state labor commissioner will con-
tain some valuable information relating
to the increase in the cost of living in
the state of Washington during recent
years. The basis OF the article dealing
with the subject is found in series of
comparative tables covering the price
of large variety of commodities that
enter INFO daily household use.
The prices quoted in the open market
on the first of January, 1900, are made
the starting point, and thereafter for
each succeeding year, the increase or
decrease in the cost Of each commodity
is shown. The final table shows the net
increase or decrease for 1906 over 1900.
1t is pointed out in the report that
the year 1900 was itself a year OF high
prices as it marked the complete recov-
ery OF the state from the financial de-
preston that had formerly prevailed.
An estimate is made that general ad-
vance averaging 25 per cent took place
between 1897 and 1900, and since the
latter year the figures show that many
OF the staple food articles have steadily
increased in price.
Taken as whole the labor commits
sioner's Investigations of the subject
sustain clearly the general belief that
during the past eight years the cost of
living in this state has increased at
least 40 per cent.

A Magnificent Illustrated Magazine
Descriptive of Washington
and Its Resources

A special illustrated magazine en-
titled prosperous Washington and Its
Resources, - which has just been issued
by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, came
to this Office few days ago. The mag
azine is by far the handsomest and
most comprehensive work of its kind
ever issued in the Northwest, being a
complete review of the various indus
tries and resources of the state, descrip-
tive articles of cities, and the unlimited
advantages offered those who desire to
seek a home in this great and prosper
Gus state.
The magazine consists of 100 pages,
with cover pages in cOlors. The first
cover page is a special design in fine
colors and is a specimen of highest art
The book is printed on high-quality
book paper made especially to order Tor
this edition. The descriptive matter is
accompanied by over $50 new and at
tractive illustrations and in mechanical
and typographical appearance the book
is equal to the best work produced on
the largest metropolitan magazines.
The compilation of this magazine has
been in progress by the Post-lntelli-
pencer for several months and every
thing pertaining to the progress and
development of Washington-her in
dustries mining, agriculture, manu-
featuring, ETC., and 10 her cities, is Gov
cred thoroly and in detail. To the bus
mess interests of the state and the va
rious cities it will prove most va'ua-
BILE work.
Among the contributors to the maya
zine are Gov. Albert L. Mead, j. G..
Rathbon, Secretary of State Sam H..
Nichols, ex-Gov. John H. NcGraw,
Mayor w. A Moore OF Seattle, and
many other prominent business and
professional men of the state. The
price of the magazine is 20 cents For

NO JAPANESE CITIZENS FOR US


Until he issued hi message on
the Japanese question we found
it not difficult to agree with
President Roosevelt on all pub
lie questions on which he ex-
pressed an opinion. On the
stand he has taken on this ques-
ton we can not agree with him,
nor do we think his criticism of
the people of California is either
just or logical.
1t is not just because on the
ground of public policy and the
the moral we'll being of their
girls and boys the people of Cal
ifornia have excluded the child
rem of the Japanese from the
public schools. From an init
mate acquaintance with the char
acter and moral fibre of the Jap
anese, such as the people OF the
eastern states have not had the
opportunity to acquire, the peo-
pie of California have thought
best to provide separate schools
for the Japanese children.
Leaving the moral phase OF
the question out of the argument,
the stand the president has taken
on the Japanese question is not
logical because if the republican
doctrine of protection to the
American manufacturers from
the cheap pauper made goods of
Europe is right then protection
to the American laboring man
from competition with the cheap
labor of Asia is right.
How long can the American
working man educate his child
rem and maintain his standard of
living by selling his one market
able commodity, labor, in a free
market and buy his necessaries
in a high priced, tariff protected
market? We believe that pro
tected labor, and protected labor
only, can buy and pay for pro
tected goods. For which reason
we believe there ought to be a
tariff on immigration, and a pro
hibitive tariff on undesirable
immigration, such as Chinese
and Japanese.

HANDSOME BOOK

A copy of the magazine edition
of the Wenatchee Republic
reached this office the pastweek.
1t is without doubt a very hand
some 100 page book, descriptive
and illustrative of every part of
Chelan county save and except
Leavenworth. We failed to find
any allusion to Leavenworth or
the immediate vicinity. We
trust, however, that it was an
oversight only and not a studied
purpose to ignore the existence
of Leavenworth.
From mechanical point the
book is in the highest style OF
the printers art. The illustra-
tions are unusually fine, while
the historical and descriptive
reading matter is both interest
ing and valuable.
To the Wenatchee valley, of
which we modestly claim to be a
part, the book will be a benefit in
attracting attention and Undue
ing immigration, and deserves
to be widely circulated.

WILL THE GREAT NORTHERN
GIVE US A CROSSING NOW4

GIVE US A CROSSING NOW4
Was it necessary to sacrifice a
human life to bring the officials
OF the Great Northern railway
to a realizing sense of the neces-
sity for some kind of safe cross
ing, SO that people can get from
one side of the tracks to the
other? If so, that sacrifice was
made last Monday night when a
young lady, 10 years of age, was
ground up under the cars for the
sole reason that for a half mile
east and for a half mile
west from the center of the town
of Leavenworth there is not a
crossing of any kind or charac-
ter For years men, women and
children have been crossing from
three to six railway tracks ,dodg-
ing engines and moving cars,
crawling under, over and be-
tween cars to get from one side
to the other, whether going Wis
iting, to market, or to church.
For three years, to our own
knowledge, the railroad company
has been urged to construct or
permit the people to construct
some kind of crossing that would
be considered safe. Petitions
have been sent to the company,
personal letters have been writ
ten, and the past summer an eff
fort was made through the Com
missioners' Court of the county
to have a crossing opened. To
all these prayers the Great
Northern railroad company has
turned deaf ear Time after
time the attention of the compa-
ny has been called to the danger
Gus condition existing, and the
possibility, nay, the great prob
Il Il 4
Two thirds of the population
live on the south side of the
track and all the business houses
and the postoffice is located on
the same side, while some four
hundred people have their resi-
dences on the north side. The
school house is also located on
the north side. At a very dan
gerous point, where there are
four or five tracks, more than a
hundred children cross four
times each day. So sure as fate
will some of these children be
ground up under the cars. That
some of them have not already
been killed is most fortunate.
For fourteen years this cOndi.
ton has prevailed. In the alb
sence of any crossing at all the
citizens have made it a practice
to cross wherever they could
find an opening. Some going
over, some under and others be-
tween the cars. That the rail
road company has recognized
the necessity of the people to
cross some how is shown by the
fact that no warning has ever
been given not to cross. 1t is ex-
tremely doubtful if the railroad
company can escape liability for
damages under existing condi-
tons.
