TROUBLES.

If there was one happy man in Mis-
soula yesterday. one man who enjoyed
his Thanksgiving and whose thanks
were sincere. il was Jack Helfrich Of
the wells-Fargo express company.
His turkey got here on time and the
cook. the lack of which has worried
him not a little. was on deck. Il is
the custom of the company to give to
each one of the 10000 employees who
have been on its payroll for six
months turkey for Thanksgiving.
Jack is the only man in Missoula who
qualified for the gift and when he was
told OF his forthcoming feast last
month he prepared to, celebrate in
true style. But there was one fly in
the ointment-figuratively speaking
Jack had no one to cook his turkey
for him. He told his troubles to the
Muscular. however, and the paper
came to his aid. An ad was put in
the paper for one issue only, and then
the cooks began to come. Young
cooks. old cooks. good looking cooks
and cooks whose faces would stop a
clock. They all applied for the job
and Jacks troubles were ended-at
least. as far the lack of cooks was
concerned. Yesterday he sent in no.
tice that he was fixed up and added
that his thanks were equally divided
between the cook, the company and
the Missoulian.

HARTMAN TRAINS To
RUN TO SEATTLE
AGREEMENT FOR USE OF N. p
TRACKS BETWEEN THAT
CITY AND TACOMA.

Seattle. Nov. 25.-The agreement be
tween the Union Pacific and North
ern Pacific railroads for use of the
latter's Portland Tacoma track for
Union and Southern Pacific trains was
signed yesterday and the Hartman
road will begin to operate trains into
Seattle on January l. Between Seattle
and Tacoma the Union Pacific has its
own track. owning a half interest in
the Milwaukee line connecting these
cities. Until the Union Pacific ter
minals and tunnel at Tacoma are
completed the Hartman trains will be
brought through Tacoma on the
Northern Pacific tracks. 4 temper
airy station Is ready for the new
trains here, and a permanent one Is
being built.
Judge Robert 8. Lovett. head of the
Hartman lines. and Julius krutt-
schnitt. director of maintenance and
operation, will come to Seattle tomor-
row. 1t is expected that while the
two railroad officials are here the en-
tire question of terminal Improvement
and the extension of the Hartman
lines in Western Washington will be
canvassed thoroughly
Hartman officials expect that their
line into Gray's Harbor. which will
be used Jointly by that system and
the Milwaukee. will be completed
within a short time. The Hartman
interests will connect with the North
ern Pacific to use that road into Port
land. while the Milwaukee will have
to extend the Tacoma Eastern to a
junction with the Gray's Harbor
branch.
1t is expected. in railroad circles
that the work Of grade reduction and
double tracking on the Northern Pa
cific between Tacoma and Portland
will be rushed now that the deal
among the three lines is completed.
The traffic between Portland and Pu-
get Sound is very heavy for a single
track line. and as the Hartman roads
will operate two or three passenger
and other freight trains daily. the
burden will be greatly increased.

We are so positive that our remedy
will permanently relieve constipation,
no matter how chronic 1t may be, that
we offer to furnish the medicine at
our expense should it fail to produce
satisfactory results. So
II Is worse than useless to ATTEMPT
to cure constipation with cathartic
drugs. Laxatives or cathartics do much
harm. They cause a reaction. irritate
and weaken the bowels and tend to
make constipation more chronic. Be-
sides, their use becomes a habit that il
dangerous.
Constipation is caused by n weakness
of the nerves and muscles of the large
intestine or descending colon. To ex-
pect permanent relief you must there
fore tone up and strengthen these or
gans and restore them to healthier ac-
tivity.
