Bob was as good as his word.
While he was on duty, he was a
brave and adroit man indeed that
reached Mr.. Sanger's presence I'M

mastery over the force of office

industry-an industry that taught
men to think, to believe, to do big
things, that produced a generation
of industrial giants.
They lived intense lives, did
those giants. driving ahead in a
blind, mad rage for conquest, to
produce wealth, to create strength.
Even the lowliest of these toilers

And Bob survived.

hard working.
Hillman had been arrested once
before and convicted, but he got a
new trial and the prosecuting at
torney failed to prosecute again. In
August, 1910. Hillman was arrested
again. This time U. s.. DiDst. Atty.
Todd accused him of using the
mails to defraud.
Hillman wasn't worried, even
though the United states govern
ment was on his trail. With his
money he felt absolutely immune
from punishment. But he didn't
want much said about 1t in, the
newspapers, however That would
hurt his business. He thought the
papers should suppress the story
as he was a big advertiser.
But the Seattle Star, an indepen-
dent newspaper, printed the story
in glazing headlines Hillman i'm
mediately started suit for libel. The
Star refused to be EluZzled and
HiT1man started other suits until
they totaled half-million dollars.
Then the grand Jury indicted
Hillman on 20 counts. Conviction
would involve in all % years SEN
tence in the penitentiary and a fine
of $2L500. Then it indicted five of
his employees and the postmaster at
Saratoga, Wash, who was charged
with being Hillman agent.
Hillman, still confident, prepared
for bitter fight. Hen engaged the
best lawyers in Seattle and Ia
coma. They attacked. the indict-
ments. They demanded the return
of Hillman's books, seized by Todd
as evidence. They moved to quash,
they filed demurrers, they fought
for delay. They give evidence that
they will exhaust the last techni-
cality before Hillman Is punished.
His lawyers are combiug the law

Hillman doesn't realize. He doesn't
see how it is possible for a man as
rich as he is to go to Jail.
There are rich men like that.

The acqueduct system Is 215
miles long and consists of tunnels
through the heart of the mount
ain ranges; of conduits straight
across the burning sands of the
desert, where it is 120 in the shade
in summer and below zero in win
Ter; huge syphons and six reser-
voirs, the latter covering 10 acres
n all, where 100 billion gallons
IAN be stored against a drought.
From the intake down, the
acqueduct runs 215 miles-32
miles of open canal, 38 miles of
concrete conduit, AZ miles of tun-
mel, miles of covered conduit,
1871 IL miles of siphons and one
half mile of fumes.
The greatest engineering feat of
the entire work is at the key to
the whole aqueduct, the Elizabeth
lake tunnel, about GO miles from
Los Angeles. The waters of the
acqueduct are to be put. into the
city through gravity. That is,
along the entire length of the
work there is not a single pump
ing station. In order to accomp-
lish this it was necessary to drill
"a tunnel five miles under the Coast
range mountains and beneath the
bed of Elizabeth lake. This piece
of work alone will cost over two
million dollars and the total time
necessary to drill this will be close
to five years when it is completed.
The work is straight through
solid granite. BY going. through
the mountains and lake it made
unnecessary a wide detour which

Actual Starvation
The Rosser Drug Company
Gives Facts Regarding
Dyspepsia

Although Indigestion and dyspepsia
are so prevalent, most people do not
thoroughly understand their cause and
how to obtain relief. There Is no rea-
son why people should not eat any
thing they desire-if they will only
chew it carefully and thoroughIy. Many
actually starye themselves into sick
ness through fear. of eating every good
looking, good-slnelling and godd-tast-
ing food, because it does not agree with
them.
Dieting cannot cure dyspepsia. If we
refuse every article of food that dis
agrees with us. before long we have
rothing left. and find ourselves chronic
dyspeptics.
We are so confident that we can fur-
nish relief for indigestion and dys-
repsia that we promise to supply the
medicine free of all cost to every one
who uses it according to directions
who is not nerefectly satisfied with the
results. We exact no promises and nut
no one under any obligation whatever
Surely nothing could be fairer. we are
located right here where you live. and
our reputation should be sufficient as
surance of the genuineness of our Of
fer.
We want every one who is troubled
with indigestion or dyspepsia in any
form to come to our store and get p
box of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. Take
them home, and give them a reasonable
lrlal, according 10 directions. They are
very pleasant to take; they soothe the
irritable stomach. strengthen and in
vigorate the digestive organs. promote
a healthy and natural bowel action, al
most Immediately relieve nausea and
stomach irritation. produce healthy di-
gestion and assimilation, and promote
nutrition.

cient to produce complete relief In
