Dogs have killed so many sheep

Men Past Fifty In Danger,

Men past middle life have found
comfort and relief in Foley Kidney
Remedy, especially for enlarged
prostate gland, which is very common
among elderly men. L. E. Morris,
Dexter, Ky, writes; "Up to a year
ago my father suffered from kidney
and bladder trouble and several,
physicians pronounced it enlarge
ment of the prostate gland and adj
vised an operation. On account OF
his age we were afraid he could not

second bottle he was no longer trOu-

While the wheat crop is never en-

under cover, Just now the promise is
exceedingly fine for good crop. Some
time ago few crops were sold and at
dollar from the thresher, but there
has been but little sold recently. AS

sometimes considerably over, growers
are not so anxious to take even a

CENSUS OF STATE
TO TAKE II DAYS
Nine Hundred Enumerators Required
To Take Washington's Official
Count.

!, WASHINGTON, Sept. IL. The
census bureau announces that it will
employ 900 enumerators to take the
new census of the state of Washing
ton next year. This will be an in
crease of 800 per cent over the enum-
Grating force of 1900, and Okla
homa is the only other state in the
Union to equal this record.
Idaho and California will require
very substantial increases, but in
Oregon only twenty additional enum-
orators will be pressed into service.
1t is anticipated that the actual coun-
ting will be confined to seventeen
days work, although the enumerat-
ing force will be employed much
longer in getting up it's statistics.
The census bureau expects to en-
ploy $4,000 enumerators in taking
the census of the entire country, which
will be an increase of 900 over
the force of the 1900 census.

TRACK LAYING BEGINS.
Grading of Union Pacific Practically
Completed East Of Aberdeen.
Will Lay Steel.

ELMA, Sept. 1.-The grade of the
Grays Harbor & Puget Sound rail-
way is practically completed, and
the laying of the rails will begin at
once. Nearly all of the clearing and
grading has been sub-let, and this
work is now finished. The grading
crews are coming into Elma every
day for final settlement. All these
men receive their pay at this point,
which has made a very prosperous
summer for the town.
By following the line first survey
ed by Engineer Void, on the south
side of the Chehalis river, the new
road taps a country not hitherto
reached by railroad, and will make
accessible to market great bodies of
the finest timber in the world. The
grade is almost level, with long tan
gents and no sharp curves, and will
be, when completed, fine specimen
of roadbuilding.

v Ard BOUNDARIES
CITY COUNCIL Committee Meets
TO CONSIDER.
One Member from Each Ward Is Pre- S.
ent. Question of Law Is Raised
as to Power 10 so Divide wards
Otherwise Than Two COunCiImen
to Each.

The committee of the city council
appointed to consider the matter of
redistricting the city into wards met
yesterday morning at the city hall.
One member of the council from each
ward was present, and the matter
was discussed without coming at any
real result.
Regarding the law with which the
members seemed to be unfamiliar, as
to their authority to apportion coun-
cilmen, except two to a ward.
1t appeared that Mayor Benn and
the councilmen were in doubt on this
subject, the city attorney not being
present.
Councilman Alexander suggested
that the wards be divided geographi-
cally, SO as to place South Aberdeen
in ward by itself; East and North
Aberdeen in a Second ward, with one
councilman each the other ten coun-
cimen to be apportioned in accord
ance with the population.
The result was that the commit
tee was uncertain as to the legality
of the Alexander proposition, and the
matter was practically laid over with
out any definite report for the coun-
Gil Wednesday night.
Anent this suggestion of Council
man Alexander, we quote:
Session Laws, 1907, page 627, sec.
IA. City to be divided into wards.
The city council, at any time not
within three months previous to an
annual municipal election may divide
the city into wards, not exceeding six
wards in all, and change the bound
aries of such wards: Provided, that
no change in the boundaries of the
wards shall affect the term of Of
flee o, any councilman and he shall
serve out his term in the ward in
which his residence may be at the
time of his election.
''The representation of each ward
in the city council shall be as near
as may be in proportion to it's popu-
latiOn."

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.--Past three
score years and ten, j. Pierpont
Morgan seems destined to become

control of $4,000 miles of tracks he
seems destined to take over the great
Hartman system of $4,000 miles,
and from his office in 23 Wall street,
rule 10000 miles of railroad.
That Wall street believes Morgan
is to take over the Union Pacific
and through that road it's allied lines,
is evidenced by the fact that Union
Pacific sold today at the close of
the market at 207 3-S, more than 13
points higher than at the close of
business Thursday before Mr.. Harri-
mans death was announced.
Morgan has been for years been
grooming himself to take over the
Union Pacific. For months he has
quietly been buying in the stock of
the road whenever it was placed on
the market. At the announcement
of Harriman's death Friday, he went
into the market and bought every
share of Union Pacific offered for
sale.
Hartman, it is known, wanted to
turn over his vast properties to Nor
gan.
On Thursday of last week Harri-
man sent for Morgan and the finan-
of the trip have just been revealed.
For two hours the former foes dis
cussed the plan whereby Morgan was

PEARY CONFIRMS COOK.
Notwithstanding Contrary Reports,
Scientists See Confirmation OF
Cooks Report in Peary's
Statement.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-Scientists
and explorers here today, comparing
latest dispatches regarding Peary's
achievement with the reports that
Dr.. Cook has sent out, We're very gen.
orally agreed that Peary's findings
seem to confirm DR.. Cooks story in
several significant particulars.
'Pearys rapid travelling" said
Anthony Fiala, "is the most import
ant evidence thus far produced in
substantiation of DR.. Cooks claims"
LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE immedi-
ate effect of the publication of Pears
brief account of his journey here is
a revulsion of feeling in favor of DR..
Cook and the adoption of more i'm
partial attitude.
One of the chief reasons for the
revulsion in DR.. Cooks favor is the
unexpected swiftness of Peary's sledge
journey to and from the pole. This
is regarded as having disposed of one
of the strongest arguments against
the probability of Cooks feat and
has placed the possibilities of Arctic
travel in an entirely new light.
The Post in a special article sug-
gests that owing to the known diff
ficulty of securing accurate Observa-
tions for latitude in the farthest
north and considering the phenom-
enally rapid rate at which they
have miscalculated their positions.
