SHALL WE WAKE UP7

III tA0 PAOPoolliou oI tLO hstOlio and Portland business men to CO., operate with the business men of Alaska in establishing a steamship line from the Columbia River to Alaskan ports, we have an oppor- tunity of being relieved from that of which Alaska has been clamor- ing for long time, viz; Excessive freight rates. But will we take ad- vantage of it?
 For having freight shipped $500 miles across the Pacific Ocean, the meTcantile men of Japan and other Oriental countries pay g per ton, while Alaskans pay s, or more, for having freight carried less than 1000 miles. It requires ovre eight weeks to make the voyage and re- turn across the ocean, while the round trip from Seattle to Skagway is made in ten days. Taking four times as much per ton, and six trips to one, we are paying, in pro portion, twenty-four times as much freight tariff as we should be- There must be an Ethiopian in the shrub bery somewhere, and We believe That it is the knowledge of the steamship companies now operat- ing from the Sound to Alaska that they have cinch on the business, and that the Alaskan people have not got sufficient sand in their craws" te use efforts to effect any kind of change. They also know that there is no united effort on the part of Alaska business men, and that they will not work together for relief.
 If the business men of Alaska would join hands and work together for the common good, new line would be established, and consid- erable reduction of freight rates would inevitably ensue. This is just what we want; Now, will the business men of Alaska continue to allow the big steamship com panies bleed them, or will they grasp golden opportunity by the hand without delay?
 Alaskan business is not going begging, and if ~e can get rate war opened up between rival ship companies; it will result in lower freight rates and consequent lower prices to consumers. The business men owe the serious consideration of this fact to the people to whom they look for patronage. And they should bear i'll mind also that the lower prices at Thict they could sell goods as result of lower rates for freight, would abate the mail order house nuisance 10 marked degree, leaving much oi the money that now goes to eastern houses in circulation at home.
 3 The proposers of the new line do not ask Alaska to lay out a single penny; but they do want-and it is nothing but good business-the assurance. that if the~new line is put on they will get share oi the business. They ask each town to appoint some person to confer with them on July i, with a view to as- pertaining what can be done in this regard.
 Such line has been projected several times, but this time it has more oi the business ring than ever before; and we can i'll afford 10 let 'tp pass In our opinion fl would

Dictates an Interview to That
Effect But Talks
Roosevelt.
NOT WITH THE ALLIES
Predicts Stampede for Roose-
welt Before His State
is Reached.

CHICAGO, Ill, June 15-Charles
F. Teter has dictated the following
statement:
when the roll call of the sconven-
ton is called you will find the West
Virginia delegates following instruc-
tons You can say for me that
Roosevelt is the most available candI-
date because the nomination Of any
other man is fraught with danger /
would sooner see Taft president than
any other man in the United States,
yet l believe there is a strong Roose-
welt sentiment here and strong pos
sibiltty that his name may be sprung
in the convention. In such case
there is danger of his nomination be-
fore West Virginia is reached on the
roll call"
Teter declares he has declined con-
ferences with the allies offered. but
does not deny having been approache
by Roosevelt admirers from several
states.
General George W. Curtin. of SUIT
ton, w. Va, declared that Roosevelt
would be his choice for the presidency
and stated that after the caucus he
believed that every man on the West
Virginia delegation would be loyal to
his instructions unless general
movement was begun IN the conyen-
ton. He reiterated that he would
like to see the President renominated.
The West Virginia delegation decided
to have badges printed bearing the
words, Scott for Vice President"
The delegation will meet tonight to
elect its members of the convention
committees.
After caucuses We're held today
several delegations which were charg-
ed with harboring sentiment for
the denomination of Roosevelt re-
gardless of their instructions for Taft
the possibility Of stampede in the
convention is not as trong as last
night, The West Virginia delegation
met, but there was no suggestion OF
a violation tof the Taft instructions
made.
A new turn was given to the vice
presidential speculation shortly after
noon today, when an intimation was
received from Washington that the
President desired the nomination of
either Dolliver or Cummins.
Iowa friends of Dollsver were
greatly surprised by the announce
ment but unmoved by 1t and Chair
man Perkins. of the Iowa delegation,
expressed the opinion that Iowa
would oppose Delivers selection
even in the face of the Presidents
preference for him.

Likely to Have Majority.

Fourteen delegates to the state
convention to be held at Charleston
were chosen in Putnam county Sat
urday afternoon. OF these seven
wede instructed for Swisher. three for
Scherr and three were uninstructed.

the White House.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-The president
and Mrs. Roosevelt reached the White
House on their return from Oyster
Bay shortly before $50 o'clock Tues
day evening. The first thing the pres

TO scan the latest election returns

pleased when he read the report OF
his home district in Oyster Bay, which
gave both Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Hughes
substantial majority. When it became
certain that Taft was elected, MI
Roosevelt was highly elated.
At the White House executive Of
fees were installed direct wires OF the
different telegraph companies and OF

working between the executive offices
and the White House proper carried

EAGER TO WORK
Health Regained by Right Food.

The average healthy man or woman
is usually eager to be busy at some
useful task or employment.
But let dyspepsia or indigestion get
hold of one, and all endeavor becomes
a burden.
"A year ago, after recovering from
an operation" writes Mich lady, my
stomach and nerves began to give me
much trouble.
"At times my appetite was vora-
cious, but when INDUCED, Indigestion
followed. Other times / had no appetite
whatever. The food / took did not
nourish me, and / grew weaker than
ever.
II lost interest in everything, and
wanted to be alone. had always had
good nerves, but now the merest trif1e
would upset me and bring on vio-
lent headache. Walking across the
room was an effort and prescribed ex-
ercise was out of the question.
II had seen Grape-Nuts advertised,
but did not believe what I read, at
the time. At last when it seemed as
if were literally starving, l began to
eat Grape-Nuts.
81 had not been able to work for
a year, but now after two months on
Grape-Nuts I am eager to be at work
again. My stomach gives me no trou-
BILE now, my nerves are steady as
ever, and interest in life and ambition
have came back with the return to
health"
