Yee G. York, Celebrated Chinese Doc
tors, Can Positively Cure You.

Those who are suffering from dis
ease which many other doctors have
pronounced incurable now have relief
in sight. zee & York. the famous Chi
nese doctors, are now located in Wal
la Walla. These men, after years of
study and research in China, were
granted diplomas by the emperor to
pursue the practice of medicine
For centuries tue Chinese have been
acknowledged leaders in the practice of
medicine and many wealthy people
annually go to that country in search
of relief from ailments which doctors
of this country have pronounced inca
pable of permanent cure.
Yee & York use nothing but power
ful roots and herbs of demonstrated
medicinal value. These roots and
herbs act gently on the system in di-
rect contrast to the medicines usual
ly given.

ira interlining or waist that supplies
the needed warmth, while the fur coat
has under it usually the filmiest OF

gain the different effects the woman
has studied to nicely the weights of
all Undertaking and interlinings. so
after all, she has about the same

has been a reaction against heavy
weights of clothes to be worn in the

is no denying the fact that the softer
and daintier materials make the pref
tier gowns and waists, while the broad
cloths and serges and lady's cloth
make delightful one-piece gowns for
the street to be worn with handsome
furs
Plain cloth dresses of serge, home
spun or other rough materials are
extremely popular for general wear.
The close-fitting princess made of
many pieces is we'll liked for such
gowns. One sees a number of them

So many varieties of coats are seen
that a choice. if one may have only
one is bewildering 1t is very true
that the long separate coat for wear
over the odd princess gowns is a rival
to the wo-piece and three piece
suits.
Some very beautiful capes are
shown for general wear and also
others for wear over the theater gown.
Perhaps the cape is preferred for the
alter wear rather than the big, roomy
coat. 1t is more easily handled.
No material in millinery this winter
has become so all prevailing as the
beavers and the furs. The tri-corner
in beaver is a most popular style.
The fur turbans that need so little
trimming and are so serviceable for
general wear are seen everywhere, but
their very simplicity makes them

MATTHEW n. CARPENTER.

Matthew Hale Carpenter, In his
time one of the most famous of United
States senators, was born in More
town, VT, Dec. %, 1924, and died in
Washington in 1881 His real name
was Decatur Merritt Hammond, but
for reasons never fully known, he
changed his name in 1852.
He spent two years at West Point,
but decided to abandon the profession
of arms for that of law, and became
student with Paul Dillingham;, and
later with Rufus Choate. In 1S4S he
went to Beloit, Wis, where he had
the misfortune to be stricken with
blindness, from which he recovered
after three years. In 1865 he settled in
Milwaukee, which city he ever after
ward called home.

at the annual meeting were rebuffed
in a speech by William Nelson Crom

that Mr.. Hartman moves in an up

In the course of this 1906 fight for
control, the stock advanced from 233
to sos. Southern Pacific. controlled by
Mr.. Hartman, owned fifth of the
stock and the Hartman party bought
in so heavily as to produce the gain Of
more than 20 points in market price.
The more substantial stockholders,
notably such men as Admiral Brown
son, voted with the Hartman party
and the minority holders were de-
feated.
Since then, the figures have told the
story. The last figures, contained in
an annual report. showed earnings OF
So per cent. on the capital stock. The
same report showed possession of
$17,165,OOO invested in loans and S.
100000 in bank.
While this is one of the largest di-
vidends ever paid by an industrial
company whose shares are listed in
the Stock Exchange but is small in
comparison with a distribution made
several years ago by the First Nation
al bank. when it increased it's CAPT.
tai stock to $10,OO0,OO0. At that time
the directors declared a dividend from
accumulated profits of 1900 per cent.
Still this record has been broken by
the Temiskaming and Hudson Bay, a
little Cobalt mining company, which
has recently paid dividends at the rate
OF 200 per cent. The capital stock of
this company is only $4,000, and the
shares are never traded in though
they once sold at ten cents a share

In 1877 he was sent back to the
senate and remained in that body till
his death 1t was Carpenter who de-
tended President Grant when at
tackled in the senate by Charles Sum-
mer; he believed in the emancipation
act, and he thought the government
should control railways and the tel
egraph lines.
Mr.. Carpenters speeches were so
logical they carried immense weight,
and his delivery was very impressive
and he was a true orator.

WILL ADD ANNEX
TO ALEXANDRIA
HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS TO
BE NEARLY DOUBLED
IMPRoVEM ENTs EXPECTED TO
COST $1,5oo,ooo
In Search for Architectural Now
cities and Latest Ideas
In Management

The proposed addition to the Hotel
Alexandria, which has been under con-
sideration for a long time, was an
nounced as a certainty last night by
A. @. Billicke, president of and the
largest stakeholder In the hotel COM
pany. Mr.. Billicke and his family will
leave Los Angeles tomorrow, en- route
for Europe, and during his stay abroad
he will search for novel architectural
ideas to be utilized in the building of
the annex. The actual work of con-
struction may not begin until late i'll
the fall. The estimated cost is $780,
900.
The subject of an annex to the Alex
andria has been long discussed, but no
definite plans were made until recent
ly. The addition will extend westward
to Broadway and consist of $50 rooms.
When 1t is completed Los Angeles will
boast the largest hotel on the Pacific
coast.
The present hotel contains 800 rooms,
but so great has been the rush of tour
lists to Los Angeles that it has been
obliged to turn away guests night af-
ter night. With GAO rooms available
the management is confident that it
will be able to care properly for all Its
patrons.
Mr.. Billicke will remain in Europe
until October, and on his return the
work of building the annex will begin.
1t is planned to throw the addition
open to the public one year from No
vember.
The idea of starting Immediately
was considered, but it was decided that
it could not possibly be finished in
time for the tourist traffic of next
winter, and 1t was not until recently
that it was decided to build west to
Broadway, as the management had
under Amusement the possibility of
building south on Spring street
The present plans are that every de-
tail shall be arranged ahead, so that
when ground is once broken the work
can be rushed to completion without
delay.
The party that will leave Los An
geles this morning will consist of Mr..
and Mrs. Billicke and their children,
Mrs. Mary Chapman and her sister, and
Mrs. A. B. McCutcheon, friends of the
family.
The party will make a stop of sew
eral days In Chicago, and, with the ex-
ception of Mrs. McCutcheon, who will
remain in New York, will sail for Eu-
rope April 20, direct to Bremen.
Mr.. Billicke will make his European
headquarters in Dresden, and his chill
dren will attend school there. Miss
Chapman contemplates attending a
conservatory of music during her Eu-
ropean trip. Mr.. Billicke will leave
Europe in October, but his family will
remain there indefinitely.
1t is Mr.. Billicke's intention to visit
the many modern hostelries of Europe.
with view of getting ideas of how
hrst-class hotels are conducted there.
He also intends to purchase paintings
and decorations for the new annex.
which will be equipped in an elaborate
manner and at cost estimated at
81 6n0 000

The newly formed Arroyo Seco assoc

purpose of making a unique and beau

its first meeting at the chamber of COM

for taking advantage of the new law
which permits the formation of an as

funds will be discussed and a line of
action for interested citizens of East
Los Angeles, Highland Park and Gar

allows park improvement through the
cooperation of property owners inter-

stretching as a narrow strip from
