TAFT SEEKS TWO MEN
Diplomats Wanted, Fitted for Mis-
sions at London and Picking.

To whom it may concern: If you
ted to be our ambassador to Great
Britain, please telegraph his name
to President Taft. His appointment
to the post will almost surely follow,
and without delay. What is wanted
is a man of the type, the high at
tainments and the rare qualities of
DR.. Charles w. Elliot. He must be
able to take rank with his illustrious
predecessors from this country to the
court of st. James. The boOm-boom
base-drum type of man is not wanted
the mere prominent citizen" who
figures largely in the public eye, but
who lacks sound and proved abilities.
Does anybody know of such a. per-
son? President Taft has not been
able to find him, and he is looking
for him all the time. He hasn't any,
body in mind for the London post.
None of the men whose names have
been mentioned" is being ''con-
sidered."
This is only one of the pressing
and immediate problems confronting
President Taft. The other is to find
suitable person to be our minister
to China. Mr. Taft is more actively
concerned about the second problem
than the first From this viewpoint
the mission to China is the most i'm
portant place he has to fill. The
time, the care and the personal at
tention he is giving to finding the
right person should be regarded as
great compliment by the Chinese
government. Mr.. Taft could easily
find dozens of men of the ordinary
| type who would be glad to become
| American minister at Picking. But
| the president does not want an ordi-
nary man. He is seeking the extra
ordinary man, in the sense that he
must have abilities not possessed by
the average diplomat. Mr.. Taft was
not greatly disappointed, nor, it is
to be suspected, greatly astonished,
when the offer of the post was re-
fused by ex-senator Fulton, of Ore
gon. He would, however. have been
greatly pleased if John Hays Ham
mond had accepted.
President Taft has an intimate,
first-hani and detailed knowledge of
conditions in China and the Far
East, possessed by none of his prede-
cessors. He knows more clearly than
anybody else the qualifications that
must be possessed by our minister
at Picking. He knows what his work
will be, and how difficult, how try
ing, and how complicated will be the
problems which he must face and
solve.-New York Evening Psot.

Railroad to Bridgeport

]. B. Valentine was In Spokane
when James ]. Hill, chairman Of the
board of directors of the Great
Northern, made his visit to that city.
says the Bridgeport Republican. By
request of Mr.. Hill, Mr.. Valentine &C.
companied the Hill party in their
special car from Spokane to Sand
Point, Idaho, and discussed the rail-
road needs of this upper country. Mr..
Hill assured Mr.. Valentine that the
Great Northern would build into
Bridgeport either this fall or next
summer. This was positive un-
equivocal statement and Bridgeport
citizens are glad to know that when
the railroad comes to this upper
country Bridgeport Is to be the OBJ
jective point.
Following we publish letter from
Louis w. Hill, president Of the Great
Northern:

st. Paul, Mimi, May 2, '09.
Mr.. c. M. Phoenix, Bridgeport. Wash.
Dear Sir: We are very much
obliged to your committee for the
communication of May first concern
ing the development of Bridgeport,
and its need for railroad transporta-
ton.
We are watching very carefully
the development of Bridgeport and
have in mind providing railroad ia
cilities for all that country as soon
as we can. We contemplate this
year building from Okanogan to
Brewster, which I believe will ma
terially assist you, and next year we
hope to further develop the territory.
I expect to be west AMI in Bridge
port soon, and shall be glad to go
over these matters with you.
Yours truly,
LOUIS w. HILL,
President.

Mrs. D. ]. Switzer's pluck and the
quick action of two or three men
prevented serious accident at Hotel
Chelan just after the stage drove in
Wednesday. While the driver was
assisting the passengers to alight at
the hotel, his four horse team swung
away from the platform and started
for Woodin avenue on the jump. Mrs.
Switzer was alone in the stage, but
she reached forward from her place
in the second seat and seized the
lines and checked the career of the
horses enough so that the men who
headed them off at the street cross
ing brought them to standstill. The
horses were not frightened and did
not know they were running away,
but had they gone ten feet further
they would have, started down the
steep pitch toward the Woodin ave-
nue. bridge and there would have
been a catastrophe if not a tragedy.

A THIRTY-CENT BUNCH
Baseball Players of Wenatchee and
LeaYenWOrth Back Down.

The baseball people of Wenatchee
and Leavenworth are certainly 80
cent bunch of sports, says the Big
Bend Empire of Waterville.
When Manager O'Larey of the Wa
Iterville team received a wire from
Joe Dryers all star bunch that they
would come here for a five-game Sc
ries for a certain amount, he tele-
phonei Wenatchee and Leavenworth
and they agreed to give the team two
games at each place at cost of $50
Ito each town.
Since the team arrived here, how
ever, word has been received from
both towns that they could not make
the $50 guarantee good, so the games
have been called off and the team
will play here until Sunday. This
will make nine games between the
two teams.
A town the size Of Wenatchee,
which claims to be the metropolis Of
central Washington and cannot raise
$50 for two ball games ought to
crawl in a hole and pull the hole in
after them. Leavenworth, too, claims
to have a number of sports but could
rot raise the amount needed for
these games.
1t may be that these towns
thought this a good scheme to get
one on Waterville, but If they did
they missed their guess. Waterville
will keep the team here and not lose
"a penny by it. They are playing
good games and are well patronized
and the team will get the hundred
dollars promised by Wenatchee and
Leavenworth without a murmur.
If there is one thing that Wenat-
chez is famous for it is playing the
baby act"

No Need of Suffering from Rheuma-

It is a mistake to allow anyone to
suffer from rheumatism, as the pain
can always be relieved, and in most
cases a cure effected by applying
Chamberlain's Liniment. The relief
from pain which it affords is alone
worth many times its cost. 1t makes
sleep and rest possible. Even in cases
Of long standing this liniment should
be used on account of the relief which
it affords. Do not be discouraged
until you have given it a trial. For
