Under the Ice.

Geo. T. Rice of Ephrata, since sus-
pending the Ephrata Record, has
been over the country selling fruit
trees. He caleld at this Office the
first of the week, relating an exper-
fence OF his the Thursday evening
preceding.
The late cold snap found his across

Mr.. James J. Hill having said that
the cause of the shortage of thans-
portation facilities is the unwilling
ness of investors to put money into
enterprisers under the ban of unpop-
ularity and annoyed by public disap-
prOval, Bryan's CommOner pertinent
ly remarks: well, If individual in
vestors decline 10 build railroads, 1t
may be necessary for the government
to do so; for certainly the public is
not to be deprived of railroad facili-
ties, simply because individuals de-
cline to engage in railroad construc-
ton, for fear the laws may be so
framed as to make the railroad the
servant rather than the master of
the people. Oregon Journal.

nothing should be done to stop or

that the more men there are manu-

permitted to partake thereof and be

seem to have drawn a hasty conclu-
sion in this connection and seem to.
base their argument more upon SEN
tinfental than pure business reasons.
The public in general does not care
a great deal whether the Chamber
lain Medicine company is forced to
beg from house to house, if they can
get their dear cough remedy, pain
balm, collie or diarrhoea cure at the
corner drug store at the same price

And anyway, there is no reason
why the business of the Chamberlain
Medicine company should be ruined
even if John Jones and other drug
gists are permitted to make the same
kind of remedies in their OWE back
rooms-unles sit is because they ca"
make it and sell it at mucn lower
price than the Chamberlain people
are selling them If they can it is
evident that the Chamberlain COM
pany has been making too large a
profit and that while relieving suffer-
ing humanity of it's many ills they
have also been relieving suffering hui
manity's pockets of more hard earn
ed money than they were entitled to.
Taken al together, the evidence adj

A NEW DEAL AT PANAMA.
From Golfers Weekly.

There is every reason TO believe
that by the time the Panama canal
is finished we shall have found thu
right men to dig it. We have already
made considerable progress through
the list of those who are not the
right men, and therefore must La s
come that much nearer to the one
we are after. The latest to decide
that he was designed for another
sphere of usefulness is Mr.. Theodore
P. Shonts, chairman of the Isthmian
Canal commission, who sent in his
resignation, to take effect March 4,
because he had received the more
tempting offer of president Of the In
teFborOugh- metropolitan company,
controlling all the underground, sur
face, and elevated street railways in
the county of New York. His depar-
ture was borne with fortitude, be.
cause it was felt that Chief Engineer
Stevens, who had done the work Of
four wheels on the Panama coach,
would be able to bear the added re
sponsibility of Q fifth.
As Mr.. shonts goes out, the con
tractors are coming in. After inves-
tigating the records Of the various
bidders the president ddeidad. that
Mr.. William J. Oliver, who had put
in the loves. bid in conjunction With
Mr.. Arson II. Bangs, would be salts
factory, bat that Mr.. Bangs was ON
possible, owing ostensibly to his lacb
Of assured financial standing, but al
so, it is understood. to his association
with GGynor, now under 3 prison
cloud, and to his own failures to car
~. ont previous government con
tracts. This conclusion was reached
therefore, that Mr.. Oliver should be
allowed to make good his bid, but
that he would have the drop Mr..
Bangs and secure at least two salts
factory partners.

LAWS MAKE PATENT MEDICINE
PEOPLE SQUIRM.

Patent medlc1Ge people ali over
the country are squirming under GER
tain restrictions placed upon them
by the recently enacted national
pure food law and are doing their
utmost to prevent further legisla-
ton along this line. The law which
forces patent medicine manufacture
ers to print on the label the formula
in full of the medicine, seems to be
particularly obnoxious to the dope
manufacturers. The recent intro
duction of formula bill into the
Washington House of Representa-
tives has caused the medicine men to
sit up and take notice and they are
addressing letters to publishers all
over the state. Following is the
kind of letter which they are send
ing out and sample of the argu-
ment which they use:
Des Moines, Iowa, Feb. 8, 1897.
Editor of Advance,
Wenatchee, Wash.
Dear Sir
We learn that a formula bill has
been introduced in your House OF
Representatives by Mr.. King: viz,
House Bill No. 172. This bill re-
quires the full and complete formu-
la on every bottle of patent medi-
cines sold in that state.
The effect of this bill would be to
destroy the sale of the most valuable
patent medicines in your state. If
the manufacturer should publish his
formula in any one state it would
Immediately become public property
all over the world; and the manufac-
turer who had built up his business
by hard work and judicious adver-
Using would be at the mercy of COM
mercial pirates and fraudulent imita-
tors everywhere.
We would suggest the enactment
of the National Pure Food and Drug
Act as state law; then any habit
forming drugs included in the prep
aration must be mentioned on the
label, and special labels would not
be required for that state. as they
would in case the present bill is
enacted.
We trust that you Will use your
best endeavors to defeat the enact
ment OF this measure, as we do not
believe it is meant or intended for
the public good, but for the benefit
OF the manufactul ers OF the so-caile6
''Non-secret preparations. = they
are the only ones that would derive
. any benefit from its enactment. II
fon no other reason it should be OPP
posed On account OF It's being class
legislation enacted for the special
iDeneht or this class.
Yours truly.
: CHAMBERLAIN MEDICINE co.

lain people claim that publishing
the formula would have the effect OF
destroying the sale OF the most val

The allegations filed by the aged
Bridegroom are most unusual IN that he
alleges no knowledge Of the marriage,
while the bride insists that he was
perfectly aware OF what was happening
and answered the questions aUdibly and

work Of some of Mr.. Browns Phila-

had ccurted her persistenuy for the
