flammation, and the discoloration OF
surrounding parts, all show that deep
down in the blood there are morbid
and dangerous forces at work, con-
stantly creating poisons which may
in the end lead to Cancer. Local
applications are valuable only for
their cleansing and antiseptic effects;
they do not reach the blood, where
the real cause is located, and can
therefore have no real curative worth.

TO CONSIDER FORAKER.
Possible Senator Will Not be Asked
to Enter Campaign.

CINCINNATI, July 27.-Two inn
portant events politically resulted
from meetings and conferences in the
final notification day preparations to-
day. Taft addressed a joint meeting
of the Ohio state central and execu-
tive committees, identifying himself
closely with the state campaign and
making it plain that whatever had
been done by Arthur I. Vorhys and
other state leaders mad been recog-
nized by him. Just what is to be
the status of Senator Foraker at the
opening of the campaign September 5
is to be decided by special commit
tee of the state executive committee
appointed today. 1t was stated that
the committee would consider the
Foraker matter in three ways:
Whether to invite the senator t.
speak Internationally; to invite him
on condition he indicate in advance
his position or not to invite him. No
prediction could be obtained as 70

Capitalists have been at WORK in
the mines of the Okanogan country
for the past twenty years, only walt
ing the advent of railroads to make
working profitable There are large
areas of fine agricultural land and
land which can be irrigated ready for
settlement as soon as the transporta-
ton facilities are provided, some of
the largest irrigation projects now
in hand being in this section of the
state.
Kennewicl, being at the junction
of the main line with the new road
and also on the river, will be the
Headquarters of construction as it was
for the North Bank road. In fact,
the steamer Yakima is here waiting
under contract, it is said, to carry
materials and supplies for the con-
tractors up the river to the various
construction camps. Here is where
the prophecy of this paper that Ken
newick would be railroad center
with full complement of switches and
yards comes in. Not only the good
but better times are in sight for
Kenne wick.

new road the Kennewick Reporter
gives details as follows:
AS before announced the survey
ors are in the field running the pre-
liminary lines between here and
Priest Rapids and they already have
instructions to commence on the To-
cation work as soon as the prelim-
mary is done The local company has

ticles of incorporation were filed
with the secretary of state at Olym-
pia by Attorney B. S. Grosscup Tues
day.
Kennewick Northern will run from
Kennewick up the Columbia river to
British Columbia, traversing the en-

under arrest and guard placed over
him.
News of Shaughnessy' arrest at
Seattle and his attempt to commit
suicide came as a surprise to the
sheriff's office, to Manager Schroeder,
who has been following him and his
acquaintance in North Yakima.
Some of these acquaintance had pro-
tested that the hotel man was on the
wrong kind of a trail when he took
after Shaughnessy and refused to be-
lieve he was guilty until after the
affair of Monday night and the re
port of the suicidal attempt as re-
ported in the Herald.
Shaughnessy arrived in North
Yakima week ago Monday, and reg

become convinced by young lady,
whom he knew slightly in New York,
and met on a train coming west. that
the Yakima valley was fine district

marks to indicate that he was con-

that he was a son OF Sir Thomas
