with Yale-Harvard football game,
which is curiously complicated with
the political future of prominent men
The scene soon shifts to the great
Northwest, with its strong, new Life,
and seething mixture of races. Here
is enacted drama flives and hearts,
with a former Yale athlete DIS the
central figure, to whom on one occa-
sion the heroine says the potent words

Girl Question" the brilliant musical
play which comes to the Grand on
Saturday, April 3rd.
"The Girl Question" is by Adams,
Hough and Howard, the authors of
''The Time, the Place and the Girl"
and is along the same lines of hui
man interest, embellished by dash
ing songs, and dances and pretty
chorus girls, as that famous comedy.
There is side-splitting fun resulting
from witty dialogue and humorous
situations, as we'll as an absorbing
plot, in "The Girl Question" while
the names of it's principal players
are a guarantee that it will be play
ed in masterful fashion. The cast
includes Paul Nicholson, Henrietta
Tedro, Marguerite De Won, Nina Col

the chorus contains fifty Blue Rib

was staged by Harry Hanlon, while
some of the songs, many of which

DEATH FROM EXPOSURE.
Verttii Hertali, the Victim Of An
Accident on the Lower Harbor.

Yesterday morning, Coroner SHIFTS
was called to Hoquiam to look into
the matter of the death OF Verttii
Hertali, native Finland. The
coroner gathered the following facts
which showed that deceased came to
his death from exposure.
Three men, deceased, H. Saarein
and John Nicholson, left for the
lower harbor on Tuesday evening in
a fishing boat and when opposite
James Rock squall upset the boat
precipitating the men into the water.
All three succeeded in getting into
the boat, where they remained sew
eral hours, in the meantime several
vessels passed, but the boat was too
far off of the channel and their sig
nails were not seen. Being without
oars they were unable to help them
selves, and drifted until the boat
struck the shore near clam dig
gers hut. On endeavoring to leave
the boat it was found that Hertali
had died from exposure, the others
not being far from the same fate. AT
the cabin the survivors were taken
care of and remained there until
Wednesday, when the coroner was
notified.

T3 AILING WOMEN.
4 Little Sound Advice VIII Help
Many a Sufferer in Aberdeen.

No woman can be healthy and
we'll if the kidneys are sick. Poisons
that pass off in the secretions when
the kidneys are we'll, are retained in
the body when the kidneys are sick.
Kidneys and bladder become in
famed and swollen and worse trOu-
bles quickly follow. This is often
the true case of bearing down pains,
lameness, backache, sideache, etc.
Uric poisoning also causes headaches,
dizzy spells, langour, nervousness
and rheumatic pain.
When suffering SO, try Doan's Kid
ney Pills, a remedy that cures sick
kidneys. You will get better as the
kindneys get better, and health will
return when the kidneys are we'll.
Let an Aberdeen woman tell you
about Doan's Kidney Pills.

To be sure, such relief would

Itinent, so that they cannot absorb
more than two thirds of the
through rates from the Atlantic tc
the Pacific, an approximate dis
lance of $500 miles.
But even out of that twO-thirds
haul, large part of which is a
waste, or as yet, an unsettled ter
ritOry, they manage to exact hun
dreds of millions of dollars an
nually i'm gross earnings, the bur-
den falling TO great extent, upon
the producers and consumers of
the western coast.
1t is safe to say, that the states
of Washington, Oregon and Cali
fornia bear four-fifths of the en-
tire cost of the operation of the
Southern Pacific, the Union Pa
cific, the Sante Fe, the Great
Northern, the Northern Pacific,
and in time, will bear that same
proportion of cost of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railway, and
the Western Pacific, which has
just been completed to San Fran
cisco.
And yet these are all seaport
states, with magnificent natural
harbors, and in most cases, with
great navigable rivers reaching
hundreds of miles into the inter-
Tor through which ocean freights
might be delivered or collected.
The average railroad freight
rate from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific, is $500 per ton, or three
fourths of one cent per ton per
mile, on a basis of $500 miles.
The average rail freight time be-
tween the two seaboards is 81
days, an average of about IT'S
miles per day.
The average steaming time of a
modern freight ship is $50 miles
per day of "a hours, which, IL fig

Now, what can a million dollars
do?
Out of the leading U. s. sea-
ports on the Pacific, namely, Sc
attic, Tacoma, Portland (Astoria)
San Francisco, Oakland, Los Ange-
les (San Pedro), and San Diego
three are connected with navigable
rivers extending hundreds of miles
into the interior, through which
ocean freights may be distributed
while the others have large sea-
board territories tributary, which
cannot be profitably touched by
the great interoceanic carrier
Thus cities like Portland, with the
great Columbia and Willamette
rivers at its door, and San Fran
cisco and Oakland, with the Sac
ramento and San Joaquin rivers
penetrating hundreds of miles in
to the richest part of the state,
have an interior inlet, while Van

ers to reach the interior, can oper-
ate along the sea coast from Alas
ka to Mexico, and Cenral Ameri-
ca, where the great interocean
freighter cannot go with profit.
With these conditions beyond
the power of railroad combination

cities from controlling the through

Icept indifference.
