BURNING UP THE
STATE CASH
Especial to The Press.)

OLYMPIA. Jan. 25.-The legisla-
ture, after two weeks work, has
succeeded in passing the appropri-
alton bill for the expenses of the
session, the A. Y. p. bill, and a
bill providing seal for the state
insurance commissioners office In
the house there has been intro
duced 121 bills. and in the senate
9S. The bill allowing an additional
Judge for Pierce county has passed
the house and Is ready for the
senate, and the local option bill
has received a favorable house
committee report.
AS to progress, 1t can only be
said that the legislature is now
ready to get down to work. OF the
eight weeks of work. two weeks
have been spent in preparing for
the remaining six at a cost to the
state of approximately $4,000.
Probably every one of the legis-
lators would insist that the state
has got value received for the
money.
Take the matter Of the seal Of
the state insurance commissioner
1t cost the state about $500 to
make provisions so that the COM
missioner could order a seal. which
will probably cost SIS at the out
side. The bill was first typewrit-
ten, introduced, referred to a COM
mittee. ordered printed, reported
back to the house, amended and
finally passed. The same pro-
cedure was gone through in the
senate with considerabled ebate,
and now must be written out in
long hand and sent to the governor
for his signature.
or the 121 bills introduced al
ready in the house. and the 9S in
the senate, there is probably not a
dozen of any Importance to the
state, and probably not over 20 will
become laws. But they will all take
up legislative time and state money
and in all probability there are
seven hundred more to come.

BODILY TERRoRS OF
DEADLY MERCURY.

Here is what the doctors
say about the poison mer-
curry:
"Mersury is purgative, al
terative and tonic, and pro-
notes the flow of bile. In
small quantities some of the
preparations of mercury are
tonic, while in large guam
titles they cause poverty of
the blood, diminishing the
number of the red corpus
cles, reducing nutrition and
impairing digestion, finally
causing waste of tissue.
Long continued use of mer-
curry causes a condition
termed hydrargyrism, COM
monty called salvation
from one of it's symptoms.
Mercury stimulates glands
to a production of an in
creased amount of secretion.
Hydrargyrism consists of
fetid breath, swollen and
spongy gums, with a blue
marginal line, sore mouth,
swollen and tender tongue,
excessive production of sa-
Iva, loss of appetite and
fever"

SPENT SEVERAL WEEKS IN
FASHION CENTERS OF THE
EAST AND ORDERED LARGE
STOCK OF GOODS.

George H. Ellis returned last
night from months visit to New
York, Chicago, Cleveland and Grand
Rapids New York being the fashion
center of the United States it was at
this place that Mr.. Ellis spent most
of his time and ordered an unusually
large stock of ladies ready-to-wear
goods, including suits, skirts. cloaks.
jackets and goods of this character.
The stock was supplemented at Chi
cago and Cleveland, and at Grand
Rapids he purchased seven carloads
of eastern furniture. Mr. Ellis states
that his buying trip was one of the
most successful that he has ever
made and that he expects TO have on
sale this fall the best line that he has
ever carried.
Mr. Ellis was accompanied east by
d.. F. Fiske of the Ellis-Forde COM

heat at all until he arrived In Mime

WATERV|[[E RAIL-
ROAD SITUATION
NEW BRANCH OF GREAT NORTH
ERN MISSES BIG BEND TOWN
By FOUR MILES-SPUR NOW
PROJECTED.

The Moses coulee branch of the
Great Northern is now nearing COM
pletiOn. The road has been graded
throughout and the rails for the
greater part of the way\are now laid.
No small amount of disappointment
is felt at Watervi!le over the fact
that the road will miss that city. The
reason why the Great Northern
should taboo the capital OF Douglas
county is matter receiving consider
able comment. Railroad men are un-
usually reticent in such things but
the story is out that Waterville has
been passed up on account of the
fact that the price asked for the
right of way of the proposed Rogers
line was deemed exorbitant. The
proposed railroad of which A. l..
Rogers was the head secured the
right of way for the most feasible
road in the Big Bend. 1t is said that
it was the intention to sell this right
of way to the Great Northern, North
ern Pacific, the North Coast or the
Milwaukee
The Great Northern sent In one of
their best engineers, who found
way of getting onto the plateau by
a steep and crooked grade and rather
than purchase the other right of way
at what was deemed an exOrbitant
price, this new route selected by the
engineer was accepted ana it is over
this that the railroad is now being
built. AS a result of the above con-
ditions Waterville is doomed to feel
the mailed fist" What will be the
result is TO considerable extent a
matter of conjecture. Waterville in
terests have offered to build a road
from Douglas TO Waterville If the
Great Northern will operate it.
In this way it is hoped TO secure
for that city at least one train day.
Even with the Great Northern
branch line into the Big Bend it
seemed probable that the Milwaukee
or some other road would build in
over the right of way secured by
Rogers and his partners had it not
been for the fact that under recent
agreement the managers of the diff
ferent roads in this state have agreed
not to build into each others terri
tory.

MAN OF CALIFORNIA AND 4
BROTHER OF THEO. AND ELI
ZIMMERMAN REVISITS CITY.

c. l.. Zimmerman, brother of
Theo and Eli Zimmerman. pioneers
Of this valley, came in this morning
from Spokane, where he went TO reg
lister for reservation lands. He ar
rived here the first OF the week but
went on to Spokane. Mr.. thinner
man with his brothers came into this
valley twenty-one years ago this sum-
mer and the brothers filed on home
steads at the head of the Squillchuck.
This was several years before the
bringing of the road and also before
the laying out of the Wenatchee town
site Wenatchee valley then was sim
ply sage brush waste and there was
no definite plan for bringing water
on to this flat or for the growing of
the big red apple. The settlers at the
time of Zimmerman's arrival were
few and far apart. Among those who
were residents of the valley at that
time were Philip, john and Samuel
Miller. Ira Freer. Jacob Bolenbaugh.
Jake Milligen, "Auntie'' Gray. Chas.
Cooper. who at that time was teach
ing school, 4. Z. Lahhahh L. NJ. Hull.
William Myers. Peter Wheeler, Percy
Walker, Lyman Burrell and Chas. B.
Reed. From here Mr.. Zimmerman
enlisted in the Spanish-American war
along with number of other Wenat-
chez boys and then settled at Pom
eroy, when he was married and later
moved to La Grande. Cal, where he
is now ngaged in newspaper work.
Mr.. Zimmerman is much
surprised at the changes in the We
ntchee valley and scarcely recognizes
the dreary wastes Of the valley in
the carefully titled orchards.
Mr.. Zimmerman is now in a grain
country and is much in love with his
new home.
