LIST
At SEA
2,273
Many Swallowed BY the
Hungry Waves in
Year 1908.

The hungry sea laid heavy
toll upon human life during the
year 1908,- according to reports
just compiled. Some Of the worst
disasters of the past IL monthe
were recorded in Pacific waters
Loss of life at sea last year
upon the ocean was 2,273, and
upon inland waters was 2,273, and
pared with 1,785 upon the ocean
and 344 upon the inland waters
in 1907.
One feature of the last year
was the large number of miss
ing vessels, whose fate will never
be known. Both in Atlantic and
Pacific waters this list is excep-
tionally large and 1t includes the
names of many well-known
ships of all flags.

Chapman, Armstrong,
Jim Hill got all he asked for
the Great Northern railway last
night.
Jim sent his smooth attorney,
Mr.. Gilman, over and the council
was an easy mark. He got every
man but two, w.sA Brand and
Hawthorne away.
How many business men are
there who would be willing to In
vest $4,000 in a building on
Paoiic avenue in which to con-
duct their own business II the
city would give them a fine lot
and the council gave him the
worth $4,000 on which to
erect It?
That is just the proposition
jim Hill put lip to the council
and the council gave him the
ground. Practically his entire
freight house will be on the land
given him by the city. In addi-
tion to this practically all the
tracks running into the freight
house will also be on the lanG
given by the city. The council
gave away to Jim Hill two acres
of good land for practically his
whole terminals and he gave to
the city-nothing.
Hills Gift
Hill's lawyers talked lot about
giving the city ten feet to widen
Twenty-first street.
Tbs ten feet only runs a few
blocks. The city already had mos,
of the ground if this street was to
be widened. The only reason It
needed to be widened was to ac-
commodate the railways. And il
it was to be widened the city could
lhace condemned the ten feet ana
1T would have been assessed 10
the property in the district ana
the railways own all this so the
railways would have had to pay
the whole bill anyway. So the
city really gets Just nothing:
No Bridge Provided.
No provision is made for a
bridge over Twenty-frst street.
No. stipulation was insisted upon
for fthe abolition of Switching

Ian, Imaginary transfer from the
smelter to the Great Northern
lines. There are no Great North
fern lines in Tacoma so the trans
fer is purely imaginary and rs
simply a juggling of bookkeepers
to sock 1t to the Tacoma ship
|pers in true Jim Hill style.
But none of these things were
considered by the council. All
the city dads could think about
was just giving away the city
land to Jim Hill. Jim says he
will spend 100000 in Tacoma
So the council gave him $780,
900 of 1t in land.
If you want anything from the
council just hire lawyer and go
after 1t.
It's easy.
Only Giblett and Stambaugh
voted against the grab last night.

FOWLER ATTACKS CANNON
Also Tells of His Proposed Bill for a
Tariff Commission.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Representa.
tive Charles W. Fowler of New Jer-
sey gave out last night a statement
outlinging and commenting on the
tariff commission bill which he will
introduce in the House of Represen
tatives. It will provide that Con-
gress shall fix the maximum and
minimum tariff schedules and rates
and that the commission, consisting
of fifteen members, shall, with the
approval of the president, fix the act
ual rates to be paid at some point be-
tween the maximum and minimum
rates so established by Congress. But
no rate so fixed and approved shall
become effective or operative for
eighteen months after it has been
promulgated by the president, in or
der that every industry affected by
tariff changes may have ample time
to adjust itself to the new conditions.
Returning to his attack upon the
present control of Congress, Mr.. Fow
Ter declares 1t to be now perfectly
clear that unless the Republican
party gets rid of Aldrichism and
Cannonism, the people will get rid of
the Republican party" Loss of the
next House of Representatives, he
says, can be avoided only by en-
blazoning on our party banners these
pledges:
First-We are against Aldrichism
and Cannonism.
Second-We demand tariff revision
hereafter by evolution and not revo-
luton.
Third-We demand tariff revision
based upon .ascertained facts and
not upon selfish trades and corrupt
! agreements.
FoUrth-We demand a permanent,
broad, and responsible tariff commits
sion which shall ascertain these
| facts, obviate, trade wars and assist
in securing and retaining the good
will and friendship of all nations, by
| Use, just and advantageous trade
! treaties.
He asserts that the peoples hopes
have been turned to disgust and their
| faith to resentment and he says he
does not believe that they will per
nit Mr.. Aldrich ito pick their peck
cts through the legerdemain of
words" He prophesies "a thunder
bolt of righteous Indignation and
| punitive wrath" as about to strike,
shatter, and paralyze the Republican
party unless it utterly repudiates AL
drichsm and its subservient compile
ment, Cannonism.

ADVICE TO WOMEN
A Message from Famous Beauty
Specialist to Women Lacking in
Energy and Vitality

Thousands of women vainly at
tempt to improve their compilations
and to remove blackheads, crows
feet and other blemishes, through the
use OF cosmetics. This treatment
fails because the trouble lies far deep
er than the skin. They are suffering
from impure and impoverished blood.
This condition is in many cases due
to a catarrhal condition of the whole
system which finds its expression in
sallow, muddy complexion, dark-cir-
cled eyes, general weakness of the
system and perhaps most plainly ia
the weeping of mucous membranes
that is commonly called catarrh
In fact this whole tendency is, pro
perly speaking, Catarrh. Danish this
catarrh and the complexion will clear
as If by magic, eyes will brighten, ia
ces become rosy and shoulders erect.
Perfect beauty goes only with perfect
health and perfect health for women
can only be obtained through one
certain treatment-that which will
cure catarrh
Nine. Swift of New York, the fam
GUS beauty specialist known through
GRITTY on all relating thereto, states
that the one positive and permanent
relief for catarrh is ReXall Mucu-Tone
Here is her letter:
u can strongly endorse the claims
made for ReXall Mucu Tone as a cure
for systemic catarrh. It's tonic eff
fects are remarkable 1t builds up
the strength and restores vitality. If
women who are tired and run down,
lacking in energy and vitality will use
Rexall MucuTone they will praise as
| do its strengthening and healing
qualities
Rexall Mucu-Tone works through
the blood acting thus upon the mu-
cous cells-the congestion and inflam-
nation of which causes local catarrh
This remedy causes poison to be ex-
PEELED from the system and the blood
is purified and revitalized. Thus the
natural functions of the mucous cells
are restored and the membranes are
cleansed and made strong. We know
that ReXall Mucu-Tone does relieve
catarrh. We positively guarantee to
refund the money paid us for this
remedy in every case where the user
is dissatisfied. 1t is builder of Wig.
