Comfortable Old Age

Is not question of years. but a question of vitality and the preser- vation of all faculties, either by natural or artificial means.
 Whether young or old-for age is no criterion for the wearing of glasses If you choose to go year after year waisting nerve force and straining your eyes through some defect, you must expect early decay, perhaps blindness a natur- al decrease of vitality and conse- quent shortening of life.
 Just think it over. We fit glass es for defective vision and eye strain that's all, but a little piece of glass will work wonders.

ROAD DISoBEYS COMMISSION
O. R. & N. Pays No Attention to
Orders Of State.

Kahlotus, Wash, Oct. 22.-The
o. r. & N. company, in the face of
the order from the railroad commits
sion to make connections with the
Nothern Pacific at Connell, has re-
fused to even let the contractors trans
fer their freight at Connell, as they
will not furnish cars. All supplies
and material coming into Kahlotus
from the Northern Pacific are either
switched onto the o. r. & n. tracks
at Garfield or Walula. This Is a
shrewd move on the part of tina o. R.
Il N, as it gives them a chance to
load Northern Pacific cars back to
AIbina with wheat. While freight
was being transferred at Connell the
o. R. & N. had to furnish their own
cars to haul the supplies from Con
nell to Kahlotus. They now get more
money foI freight, besides getting
the use of the cars. 1t lie favorable
to the grain companies, as it gives
Kahlotus twice as many empty cars
for loading wheat to Albina.

HUNTER is INJURED
Alone in the Woods Seven Days
Without Food.

Butte, Mont, Dot. 23.-Pete Cal
Ian, a we'll known Butte man, who
went into the mountains on q hunnt-
ing trip with Captain Day Stivers
several weeks ago and who was re.
Gently reported as lost, is safe and Is
now at Drummond recuperating from
his rough experience Of seven days
In the hills without food or shelter.
This information was brought to the
city by Captain Stivers and his
party, who arrived home this morn
ming.
The party consisted of Captain
Stivers, A. 7. Morgan, Jack Gille-
spie, Pete Callan and George Will
liams. all Butte business men. 1--WE
had our heaqduarters on the Sun
river on the summit Of the Continen-
tai divide" said Captain Stivers,
in talking about his trip. 1.-THE mis-
hap to Callan came about in this
way: One morning Pete strolled out
from the camp and about 10 miles
away he came across fine specimen
of bull elk. Pete brought him down
all right but the bull jumped him
and knocked him in the head. He
was rendered unconscious, l guess,
for time and as he did not return
to camp we gave up all idea of look
ing for game and began to search for
him.
"Jack Gillespie and had our ef-
forts rewarded by finding him just
about at the point where he shot the
elk. He was alive and that was all.
He had been without nourishment Of
any kind for seven days. We put
him on a pack horse and brought him
to camp about 10 miles away. 1t was
q close call for Pete. !"

was pretty general impression among

AFTER SHELTER TRUST
Uncle Sam Nay Investigate
Federal Company.

Washington, Oct. 23.-There Is
excellent authority for the assertion
that the government will proceed next
against the smelter trust by seizure
OF interstate routed cars of ore, IL
successful In the case against the to-
baoco trust at Norfolk, Va, where
8, $50, 900 cigarettes we're seized
under the Sherman anti trust Law.
Inasmuch as the Federal Mining
and Smelling company, operating
In the Occur d'AIens mining REGION,
10 . constituent Of the Guggenheim
smelter trust, the traffic controlled by
the Federal company In western
states will likely come under the ban
in further proceedings.
A department Of justice officially
speaking of the matter, gave such
strong intlmation Of the foregoing
that no other conclusion is left as 20
the governments intentions.
eff the government 10 successful in
the tobacco trust seizure case will II
proceed against other TRUSTEE" ne was
asked.
''The government will not be
limited as to any other trust" he re-
piled
"Will it proceed against the
Standard oil and smelter trustsPh
81 say again it will not be limited
as TO any other trusts.
1t is known that the investigation
of the smelter trust, going on foI
months, has established beyond doubt
that the Federal is part Of the smeltel
trust. II successful in the tobacco
case, the government may legally
seize every car of interstate orr
which Is controlled by the smeltel
trust or any constituent company.

WESTERN BANKS
ARE STRONG
FURRY in East is Not Feared by
Western Banks

clients as though nothing had hap
pened, making the usual advances
for the moving and forwarding Of
crops. of which large shipments are
in motion now. l do not think any
thing is to be feared on account Of
any of the SaL Francisco CONNER
cial, savings and trust banks. They
are in the hands of conservative
bankers, not specuIartors, and are all
doing legitimate bakniDg business
In the various branches. My own
banks are not interested In eastern
stocks. -
""The western country banks he
said, "are creditors of the New York
banks, and when they make calls on
them, 1t is for their own money.
That is a truth / have argued so
times to the New York bankers, but
they fail to recognize It, "
FINANCIAL CHEER.
Salt Lake, Oct. %. - Bankers here
say the financial condition in this
city has never been so good. All the
banks hold large reserves and none of
them are apprehensive as to the out-
look. The volume Of business here
shows a large increase over last year
and the amount of money in civCula
tion. as shown by clearing house re-
ports, is considerably larger than at
this time last year.
The finacniaI news from the east
was reflected on the mining exchange
here. Stocks showed a decline Of 2
to Is cents per share. Conservatives
were in no rush to sell and this tend
ed to steady the tone of the market.

NATIONAL
POLITICS
Congressional Committee is After
President Roosevelt

course, will be divided on similar
lines, but perhaps fortunately for
them they will not be compelled 20
show their hands until the republI-
cans Of the house have exposed
theirs.
There IL one feature OF this fight
that may draw the democrats into II,
although on the general principle Of
letting the enemy fight II out and
then whip the survivors, It were bet
ter TO keep aloof from entAnglIng
alliances with either faction, but try
and force the enactment Of lsgislM-
tion necessary for tho best interests
Of the whole country. President
Roosevelt may seek allies In the
democratic camp, who, added 20 bis
own friends In congress, would COM
pose a majority. But altar the en-.
perienos Of the democrats Of the aen.
ate when the railroad rats bill waa
being manipulated, democrats viii be-
very wary of any overtnFea from
President Roosevelt, for fear OF again
being left In the luroh.
This puts the corporations between
the upper and the neither millatone.
Il should result In any decent trust
or corporation magnate deciding 20
refuse 10 be- bled BY either faction.
IL there are any honest trusts Il may
induce them 10 dee from such repub-
lican plundering and TO rely upon
their constitutional rights and huneSt
government for protection against the
virtual conilaoatIon Of their assets BIZ
the two republican factions which
control different branches Of the
government.
The best play President Roosevelt
can make against this revolt, would
be- TO have bis friends announce q
rival candidate for speaker against
the arch conspiFator Cannon, and let
Il be known that rather than zee
Cannon elected he would favor the
election OF John Sharp Williams, the
damocraio leader, ~ speaker. The
republican reactionary leaders would
be helpless without the spoils Of the
house end the president should BE-
able TO control ths votes OF enough
republican members, who, added 70
the democrats, would make . maioFi.
ty. II would only require just 50
republicans, tariff Feformers and
others 20 do the trick.
The above II so interesting and In
portant that even dem ocratlo news
must be subseryient TO IL this week.
Next week. however, there may b
equally important information about
democratic matters; for II is report
ed by the Bryan literary bureau IN
this city that Mr.. Bryan will In Z
few days make announcement Of biz
future plans. Whether he will de
clare himself q candidate for the
nomination for president, or decide
that be does not consider himself th'
most available candidate IL the 81

determine its action, leaving the
subject open for the attorneys to de-
eide.
The commission accepted q deed
OF easment from Wright IL Steele and
FIR ON the Granite Investment com
pany. This easment permits the
sewer to be laid through block U,
rather than TO be run down Third
street TO the lake and then to follow
the electric line. This deed will
allow the sewer to be laid where the
alley would have been, had 1t not
been vacated. II IL said TO be better
and no more expensive.
