Gently instituted by the state of Oregon
against the Pacific Telephone company to
compel the company to pay state tax
of per cent on It's gross earnings for
the year 1906, Is resisted by the company
in an answer filed.
The grounds are that the initiative
and referendum law by means of which
the tax law was put into existence is un-
constitutional. The company contends
briefly that under the initiative and ref
erendum law the electors of the state
are enabled to usurp the legislative func-
tions of the state and national govern
ment in direct violation of the federal
and state constitutions, which provide
that the congress and the legislature
shall be the sole legislative bodies.

client Blood Quickly Corrected by
This Tonic Remedy.
A feeling of general weakness, poor
appetite, loss of breath after the slight
est exercise and broken sleep are some
of the symptoms Of general debility.
You may think that they have no relation
to each other and that you will worry
along, hoping all the time to feel better
soon. This is q mistake, for every n
of the symptoms is caused by bad blood,
which must be made pure and new
before health will be restored again. A
tonic treatment is necessary and for this
purpose there is no better remedy than
DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
Mr.. j. G. Havey, of 95 Willow St.,
Chelsea, Mass, says: 81 was sick for a
number of years from general debility
and Indigestion. / was never free from
stomach trouble and my nerves were so
shattered that the least excitement UNI
fitted me for any serious work. My
sleep was restless on account of terrible
pains in the small of my back. These
pains would sometimes last for a month
or two. Mysight grew weak, there SEEM
ing to be a blur constantly before my
eyes. l couldn't concentrate my mind
on my work, and n attempt TO 90 so
completely exhausted me.
"I was finally forced to give up a
position / had held for twenty-eight
years. After trying several medicines
without help, I read of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills and gave them a trial. They
made me feel so much better and SO
much stronger that I started in business
for myself here in Chelsea. l have
never had a return of my former sick
ness and cheerfully recommend DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills as an excellent nerve
and blood tonic"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills have long
been recognized as an excellent tonic
remedy in cases of Indigestion and gem
eral debility, where the stomach and
other organs of the body are weakened
and disordered simply through lack of
proper nourishment. They have also
been especially successful in curing
anemia, rheumatism, after-effects of the
grip and fevers.
A pamphlet on "Diseases of the
Blood" and a copy of our diet book will
be sent free on request to anyone inter-
ested.

City of Mexico.-Full confirmation of
the suicide of four prominent Guate-
malans and the Imprisonment and SEN
fencing to death of nineteen men sus-
pected of completely in the attempted
murder of President Cabrera early this
month, has been received.
According to a private telegram the
-four men who gave up their lives be-
cause of the incident were DR.. Julio
V. Blanco, DR.. Joenge A. Villa, DR..
Echeverria and Baltasar Rodil, a civil
engineer. All of the men were wealthy

A. p. Hawley, an American business
man who mas just returned from a trip
to Guatemala and other Central Amer
lean republics, says:
Two days after the alleged attempt
it was known in Cenetral America that
the whole business was a badly-garbled
plan framed up by Cabrera himself in
an inspired moment to arouse the sym
pathy of the country and of the neigh.
boring republics in his behalf. All he
got was q th~inly-veneered note of re
gret and sympathy from the various
countries, which are, as a matter OF
course, obliged to accept the statement
of the government.
In Guatemala City everyone knows
the explosion of a few harmless pow
der caps was a prearranged affair.
Cabrera had another motive. Nine
teen men were arrested, charged Will

charge on them he is going to SHOW

He Comes In With the New Law-Paul
Morton on His Opportunity.

The new insurance law of the State
of New York has opened up a promis-
ing field for both men and women
with brains and energy in the sale OF
life insurance. The law now provides
standard forms of policies, each of
which practically bears the hall mark
of the State of New York, and TINS new
order of things has established the
sale of life insurance on a correct
basis.
The prohibition against rebating and
~extravagant allowances to agents has
driven out of the business the old
type of insurance agent, who in many
cases virtually bought business, with
large rebates, instead of selling It.
His place is being taken by profes-
sors. lawyers, school teachers of both
sexes, and others, who find that being
a life insurance agent under the new
system offers greater reward than
their previous vocations. The law has
reduced commissions but all OF the
commission now goes to the agent
Life insurance is something that
everyone needs and under the pres
ent system it's sale is being conducted
with becoming dignity and propriety.
Paul Morton, president of the Equita
Bile Life Assurance Society, has taker
the lead in building up an agency or
g~anization that is in keeping with the
demands of public sentiment, and the
standard he has set for his company
He says: we want new agents, boil
men and women, but none except en-
ergetic, able and truthful people neet

opportunity"

and vigorous blood into the agenc.
force of the Society is meeting wit
success in all parts of the country.

French Observer Says the Gases Are
Shrinking and Will Disappear.

G. F. Gautier, a French explorer, is
authority for the statement that the
Sahara is continuously becoming drier
to such an extent that the GASES are
perceptibly drying up and will disap-
pear altogether in a relatively short
time. He quotes historic records and
physical signs to show that springs
were at one time more plentiful than
now. and hat the extent of the
patches where vegetation fiourishes
were much greater even so to 100
years ago.
AS the climate of the region has un-
dergone no change in perhaps thou
sands of years, he believes that the
disappearance Of the water must be
due to purely mechanical causes. He
considers that it is due to the con
tinual advance of the great sand
masses to the north, thus forming an
impenetrable barrier against the wa
tershed of the Atlas mountains.-N. Y.
