AN APPEAL TO REASON

good reasons why you
should familiarize your
self with the conditions
affecting the future
growth Of the town Of
Port Simpson. You will
agree with us that what
has happened in one
place will come TO pass
in another under iden-
tically the same condi-
tons, and when one is
familiar with the place
where these conditions
have created certain re-
suits, he can Judge the
future of the other place,
or city, with a reason
able degree OF accuracy.
Believing that you
agree with us in the
above assertions, we are
appealing TO your reason
and knowledge.
A good, safe. natural
harbor is the first, and
perhaps the most impor-
tant factor that enters
into the consideration OF
a new seaport town. This
1 harbor must be free from
dangerous Instructions
| and bad currents; il
must have sufficient an
chorage room for all the
shipping that may call
there, and with deep wa
ter up TO the very shores,
for the cost OF loading
and handling freight for
bids the use Of any
means except docks 10
which vessels can tie to
and unload upon with
out rehandling their car
| 60.
| If you arc familiar
with the Pacific coast,
| you know that there are
only two such harbors
along the whole West
crn sea board OF the
4 United States - San
4 Francisco bay and Puget
\ southland only one
along the whole western
4 Canadian c0aSt-Port
/ Simpson. True, Van
couyer is a large ship
/ ping center, but it is a
| part OF Puget sound.
1 These American har-
bors have been mighty
factors in building up
| the cities on their shores.
| They determined the To-
cation of the rail-
road terminals and the
| growth OF commerce
that came through their
/ gates. And as a result
| the cities are far in adj
| vance, both in business
and population. OF any Of
| the other Western cities.
1 The Canadian harbor,
| Port Simpson, although
| equal to either Of the 9th
er two in every respect.
| has not been developed.
| No enormous docks line
its shores: no busy city
crowns its banks.
| Why1 Because there
| Is another factor neces-
sary--railroads. When
| the Union Pacific was
| projected westward, its
engineers selected San
| Francisco bay as the
l harbor that was ade-
| quate to handle the
freight that the road
| would divert from the
| former route around the
| Horn. Their selection
was entirely due to the
natural advantages of
/ the harbor, and for this
reason alone San Fran
1 cisco became the great
est shipping port on the
| Pacific, and the town
grew with remarkable
4 speed.

by the people Of the in
terror cities and rural.
communities must come
by way OF Port Simpson.
There is a mineralized
country tributary that
surpasses the mineral re-
sources Of the combined
Western mining states,
while the numbering and
fishing possibilities are
stupcndous.
These are the bare
facts and the logical rea
sons why Port Simpson
will be a second Seattle,
and in a short time will
have a population that
will surpass San Fran
cisco.
We are selling bust
ness lots now--lots that
from their very location
cannot fail TO be the first
10 increase in value
when construction work
is commenced on the
railroad AS this work
will be in full swing by
the middle Of next sum
mer, and people every
where will be talking
Port Simpson and sell
ing their homes to come
TO this new country,
where they will swell
the numbers that will
find employment build
ing the docks, working
on the road, construct
ing the buildings and
filling the multitude of
positions that are TO be
found in a new town.
All of the thousands of
tons OF steel that will be
used in railroad bridges,
the steel rails, the steam
shovel supplies. the food
and clothes of the men
along the road, the build
ing material, the stocks
of merchandise and no
tons and the thousand
and one things that are
needed in a new town
will have TO be handled,
checked and delivered.
Truly, here is a gigantic
task, and the growth of
the town will be rapid
from the first. Your
knowledge Of the towns
that have grown up on
the banks of the other
two harbors on this
coast is sufficient to en-
able you TO judge accu-
rately the growth and
future of Port Simpson.
The conditions there are
superior to those that
have made Seattle grow.
The Alaska trade will
practically all go there,
because it can be sup
piled at a saving Of two
weeks time and a sail of
900 miles.
This is where YOU can
place your money, feel
ing satisfied that it will
earn you more than a
similar investment can
earn in any other place.
Buy a lot in Port Simp-
son now, while the price
/ is low-S200 for inside
lots and $500 for corners.
Hold those lots for five
or ten years. and for ev-
cry dollar you invest
now you will get one
hundred dollars; or buy
now and sell in a year or
two at a profit of $4,000
or $1,000. Every sea

Pedro Alvarado, of the State of ChI. huahua, Mexico, the owner of very profitable mining properties, proposes to distribute S10,0O0,OOO among the Mexican poor. He has also offered to pay of the Mexican government debt. This offer has been declined on the part of the government in the fear that 1t was not altogether inspired by patri- otic desire to relieve the Mexican tax payers.
 Alyarado seems to be pushing aread of Andrew Carnegie in the practical application of his own philosophy by taking good care that he will not die rich. He could hardly have hit upon a scheme of more widespread benefi- cence than the payment of the public debt of his country. This project ought to be brought to the attention of Mrs. Russell Sage, who seems to be finding great difficulty In 80 disposlng of her vast fortune as to do the greatest amount of good.-Philadelphia Record

The bachelor Is not as happy, does not live as long, is not so much hon. ored while living or as much wept when dead as the man who marries, but as an individual he may feel that single blessedness best suits him, al- though not denying that as c general rule men should marry and the sooner the better. If he holds this view, for reasons sentimental or temperamental. he should be allowed to stand upon the constitutional and inalienable rights that entitle him to life, liberty and the pursuit of that which. under the circumstances in which be indi- yidually finds himself, seems to be the minimum unhappiness. And he Is en- titled to an injunction to restrain mar ried men, blatant and bumptious be- cause of their greater happiness but knowing nothing of his reasons for not having found his way Into their proud and happy estate, from proddins him as he pursues his lonely pilgrim age.

IN NAVY TO SEE THE WORLD.

Why . Rich kentuckian Stays with Uncle Sam at s12.SO a Month.
 Drilling every day among a crowd of recruits at Mare Island barracks, where he Is being instructed in the du- ties of a private Of the marine corps at the regular pay of s12.s0 per month and rations, Is Virgil I. Thurman, one of the heirs to an estate of over S250,- GOO in the blue grass country of old Kentucky, says the San Francisco Bulletin. And 1t Is doubtful If any of the men drilling side by side with him each day, with the exception of David McGee, the chum who enlisted with him at Sioux City, Iowa, have any suspicion that the quiet fellow in their midst has cent more than the aver age man who enlists in time of peace.
 Thurman's inheritance comes to him from his maternal grandmother. Mrs. Rautt, who died some few years ago on the property which Is now to be di- vided between her heirs near Hodg. enville, Ky. Thirty-four months ago Thurman first learned of his inherit. ance. Two weeks ago be received a letter from his attorney Samuel '. Jones, of Hodgenville, notifying him that the other heirs have applied for the sale and final distribution of the property, so that In a short time the raw recruit now drilling so faithfully at the Mare Island barracks will be the possessor of tidy little fortune of several thousand dollars
 "1 am a cowboy by profession," he said, when questioned by a Bulletin reporter, "and I enlisted In the service at Sioux City because they gave us rretty good inducements to see the world. I have spent all my life around Texas and Colorado and I wanted to see something else. Yes, knew about this money coming to me, but that made no difference. You see, we will only be kept here a couple of months or so, and then we will be sent of to have an opportunity to see something. No, we don't get much pay, only s12.sO a month," he laughed, but I am not sorry enlisted. We are treated well and like 1t, and besides we will have a chance to see the world"

God Rest You, Merry Gentlemen. God rest you, merry gentlemen, Let nothing you dismay, For Jesus Christ our Savior Was born upon this day To save us all from Satan's power When We were gone astray. O tidings of comfort and joy, For Jesus our Savior was born on Christmas day.
 In Bethlehem in Jewry This blessed babe was born, And laid within a manager Upon this blessed morn; The which his mother Mary Nothing did take in scorn. From God our heavenly Father A blessed angel came, And unto certain shepherds Brought tidings of the same, How that in Bethlehem was born The Son of God by name. Fear not, then said the angel, Let nothing you alright, This day Is born a Savior Of virtue, power, and might; So frequently to vanquish all The friends of Satan quite. The shepherds at those tidings Rejoiced much in mind, And left their focks a-feeding In tempest, storm, and wind. And went to Bethlehem straightway, This blessed babe to find. But when to Bethlehem they came, Whereat this infant lay, They found him in manager Where oxen feed on hay; His mother Mary kneeling Unto the Lord did pray. Now to the Lord sing praises, All you within this place, And with true love and brotherhood Each other now embrae This holy tide of Christmas All others doth deface. o tidings of comfort and joy, For Jesus Christ our Savior was borT On Christmas Day.

Safe, Sure and speedy.

No external remedy ever yet devised has so fully and unquestionably met these three prime conditions as success fully as Allcock's Plasters. They are safe because they contain no deleterious drugs and are manufactured upon scien- tifio principals of medicine. They are sure because nothing goes into them ex- cept ingredients which are exactly adapt ed to the purposes for which a plaster is required They are speedy in their act ion because their medicinal qualities go right to their work of relieving pain and restoring the natural and healthy per- formance of the functions of muscles, nerves and skin
 Allcocks Plasters are the original and genuine porous plasters and like most meritorious articles have been extensive ly initiated. therefore always make sure and get the genuine Allcocks.

Railroads In the United States are

Railroads In the United States are pretty well under the control of the people. A late evidence of their mas tery appears in the conviction of the New York Central Roalroad company for giving freight rebates to the Ameri- can Sugar Refining company. The pub llshed rate by rail from New York to Detroit was twenty-three cents a hun dred pounds. The rate by water was thirteen cents. To meet the compeu- ton by water, the agent of the rail- road company secretly agreed to pay back to the sugar company five cents a hundred pounds on all sugar shipped. The company paid back many thousand dollars under the agreement. The rail- road company has appealed the case to the Supreme Court. Whatever the out come of the appeal, the conviction It. self Is important. It indicates the yi- tality of the law intended to secure uniform rates and fair treatment to all shippers. The Supreme Court of the United States has already rendered de- cisions that secure the rights of the people upon the railways, which are, In a certain true sense, public highways. The companies may net charge exorbL tant rates, according to a decision made in March, 1898; but on the other hand, under the same decision, neither a state legislature nor Congress may make a freight rate so low that 1t will be unprof1table to the company. Such rate would deprive persons of their property without due process of law. in violation of the Constitution. Thus we have three established rules: That the owners of the railroads are protect ed in their property against conhsca- tory freight rates; that the shippers are protected against eSorbitant rates. and that the rate for a given service shall be uniform for all shippers en- toying that service. Congress has pro- vided for an enforcement of these rules by the law governing interstate com merce, passed at Its last session. Un- ter these rules equitably enforced there can be no oppression of the peo- pie on the one hand. and no injustice |, property on the other.
