may have developed on this kuestion
since the introduction of the law can

MAIN LINE FOR
WALLA WALlA
NORTH COAST TO PASS THROUGH
HERE ON ITS WAY
EAST.

WaIIa Walla is to have another
railroad. a main line of another rail-
road 1t is to- be a railroad that will
bring Chicago and the coast several
miles nearer together and will be the
easiest grade in the Rockies.
In recent issue of a Spokane pa
per. Robert Strahorn, the president
of the North Coast, gives out an in
teryiew concerning his line. 1t is a
Spokane paper and hence the fact
that Walla Walla is on a branch line
and Spokane on the main line. A
glance at the map published in that
paper however, shows that Spokane is
on line that ends at that place. Wal
Ia Walla by the same testimony, is on
a line that continues east.
That the North Coast is part of
through system has been admitted
from the start The sphinXlike Stra-
horn refuses to give out anything con-
corning it's destination and connec-
tons He does. however, say:
From Walla Walla or southeast of
there we could give such lines as
Gouli's Western Pacific or the North
western the best possible lines to
Spokane and to Puget sound and a
GOOD limo to Portland"
That the North Coast is a part of
the Northwestern line is confidently
expressed by those who profess to
know what's what in railroad circles.
At any event this much is sure.
The line from Walla Walla to Seattle
and Spokane is assured, that even Mr..
Strahorn admits. Further, there is a
route through the mountains by the
way of walla Walla, down the Grande

THE STORY Of
A BIG STORY
HOW A LOCAL CORRESPONDENT
LOST HIS ELABoRATELY
PLANNED "BEAT."

Probably one of the "sorest" men
in town last week was A. H. Harris
the local correspondent of the Spokane
Spokesman Review. Why? This is
why:
A. H. Harris conceived the idea Of
breaking The worlds record in the
from grain to bread stunt. He had
read of how Pillsbury's had done the
trick in 81 minutes and he thought he
could do it in better time. He tried
the local mills but they didnJ want to
attempt it.
! Then he tried the Waitsburg mills
This suited him better anyway, as he
thought then The local newspaper men
wouldn't get hold of it, He could have
his story all to himself and get half
page in his Sunday paper. So he did
it.
He got N. B. Atkinson to do the cut
ting and threshing stunt. He got Dale
Preston to do the hauling in his auto
and he got the Preston Parton people
to grind the grist Andrew Beck did
the baking.
At 9:04 last Tuesday morning the
race against time began. r. H. Orms-
bee, E. L. Wheeler and Plat Morrow
were judges and timekeepers. At 9:OS
the header was alongside the separa-
tor At GIL Preston started his ma
chine to the mill with four sacks OF
wheat. A photographer secured and
paid by Harris for his exclusive story
took pictures of every stage of the
game. At 9:14 the grain was at the
mill and at 9:23 was in the sack as
-four Three minutes after a pan OF
biscuits was being passed around by
Beck, the baker.
And Harris had his story. Everyone
agreed to keep il dark. No one would
say a word. Harris would hold the
would run it with big headlines and H.
Illustrations. He had a story.
But in the mean time the Walla Wal
la newspaper boys were not asleep
They got wind of the doin's and gOt the
story. Harris awoke with surprise and
indignation to see his story in another
paper. Scooped The String fiends" i'm
mediately got busy and telegraphed it
out to their papers on the coast The To-
cal correspondent of the United Press
had it on the wires and all over the
United States before Harris had recOv-
cred and was through pinching him
self to see if he were awake.
Harris has not used the story, or
his paper has no at least, yet used it.

Tone Up The
 Stomach.
GET RID OF THE GAS,
 HEADACHES AND DIZZINESS.
A Michigan Man Tells How Dr Williams Pink Pills Cured Hislndigestion in the only
 Rational Way.

The symptoms of stomach trouble vary. Some victims have a ravenous appetite, some loathe the sight of food. Often there is feeling as of weight on the chest, a full feeling in the throat. Sometimes the gas presses on the heart and leads the sufferer to think he has heart disease. Sick head ache is a frequent and distressing symptom.
 Experience shows that these troubles vanish just as soon as the stomach is made strong enough to digest the food. In other words, it needs tonic that will rouse it to do the work of chang ing the food into nourishment.
 A very delicate stomach requires easily digested food but nature never intended that the food should be di- gested before it is eaten. The stomach must be strengthened to perform its own work and what it needs is not food already digested but a tonic. The pro- cesses of digestion are controlled by the blood and nerves, and medical science has produced no better diges- tive tonic than Dr Williams Pink Pills.
 MT A. J. Higley, whose farm is near Cassopolis, Mich, and whose mail ad- dress is R. F. D. No. l, that city, was cured by these pills. He says:
 After suffering for several years with weak stomach, it became so bad about three years ago that was unable to work. l could not eat with out having intense pain in my stomach and bowels. Food would ferment in my stomach and the gas would nearly suffocate me. Sometimes l would have to vomit. l had sick headaches and dizzy spells, my eyes would become blurred and l could see black specks floating before them. My heart palpi- tated and l could not lie on my left side at all, and if l did at night when asleep it would wake me up. My arms were weak and seemed to be complete ly tired out and helpless. There were shooting pains in my legs which some- times were too weak to bear me up.
 ''The doctor did not help me, so when l read about Dr Williams Pink Pills made up mind to try them. I felt so much better after taking the pills awhile that l bought some more and was entirely cured after taking on- ly a few boxes of them. I have been we'll and strong ever since and hope this statement will be of help to others"
 While so promptly effective, Dr Will liams' Pink Pills contain no harmful stimulants or opiates. They are per fectly safe and create no drug habit. Every dyspeptic should read, What to Eat and How to Eat" Write the Dr Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. r., for a free copy.
 Dr Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or sent by mail, post paid, on receipt of price. 50 cents per box: six boxes for S2.5O.
