Being questioned, he put up a bold

In Arizona there was a trace at one

that the rest of the nation is enjoying
the weather Walla Walla wants so
badly. The three states, Oregon, Ida

Present indications are, however
that the storm will be past tomorrow

representatives of the old company,
Who occupied most of the time before
the committee, insisted that they
would not object to a franchise which
terms with themselves, but throughout
thelr talks, especially the one of MIR.
Anderson, emphasis was laid on the
company's position that the only way
nat cheaper lights and power could
be secured was to build up the busi-
ness Of one big company, rather than
10 distribute the business between
competing concerns.
Representatives of the old company
canned that to grant the new COM
pany franchise, identical in words
with the one under which the present
company is now operating, would be to
greatly discriminate against the pres
elt company, for the reason that IL
mas already invested large sums OF
money here and was entitled to falr
return on its investment.
representatives of the new company
answered this argument with the as
Sertion that as soon as the franchise
was granted, it would proceed to make
sumo Investments on its own respon-
Aoility, and insisted that it was en-

HUMAN STOMACH HAS
r BECOME DEGENERATE
~ Animals Are Healthier Because of Strong
------ Digestive Apparatus.

An interesting interview was re-
Gently obtained with L. T. Cooper, the
young man whose theory and medi-
cines have created such a sensation
during the past year.
Mr.. Cooper, in speaking of the re-
markable success Of his medicine. had
this to say on the subject: MY medi-
cine regulates the stomach. That is
why IL Is successful. The human stom-
ach today has become degenerate, and
is the cause for most III health. In
the horse, the dog, and the wild ami
mails generally, you see no nerve ex-
haustion, no chronic debility. They
are not shut up day after day with
practically no exercise. and they are
not able to stuff themselves with food
when their bodies have not had enough
work TO Justify Il. The human race
has been doing this for years, and
look at the resuit-half the people are
complaining of poor health. not real
i1lness-just q hslf-sick, tired, droopy
feeling. They don't really know what
Is the matter with them.
Il know that all the trouble IS
caused by weak. oxervorked ston-
4clfs I have proved this with my
medicine TO many Thousands of peO-
pie in most of the leading cities Of
this country I expect to de the same
thing In Europe next year. This is
the real reason for the demand fer
my preparation"
