Semon is funnier now than when
he was doubled with Fake in the
old team, which was a headliner so
many seasons. He has to work
harder, and as he has natural gift
of low comedy, the occasion brings
it to the surface.
He has a comedy act that is not
only bewilder;ngly original, but
fairly bubbles over with genuine
fun, and two hours of Semon in a
musical show would be a gold mine
for some long headed theatrical
manager. His legs are funnier than
Richard Carlos ever dared to be.

HilIyard, Wash, Feb. Is, 1910.
Dr.- J. q. Lydon, 310-311 Audi
forum Bldg. Spokane, Wash:
Dear Sir-I wish to speak to
the public, the sick and the af-
flicted of the life of invalidism
that has been mine during the
last liz or nearly II years, and
my experience with, medical doc
tors. a...,s.as,....Aya.,..-s.. -
Thirty-eight years ago, while
convalescing from an attack of
fever, ! oYertaxed myself, which
caused uterine trouble, from
which was an invalid nearly
two years, when l sufficiently re-
covered (but was never welD to
have the care of my home and
began to go out and try to make
the most of life. But during this
time l was frequently under the
doctors care, and always
SUFFERED FROM EXTREME
CONSTIPATION.
After several years dropsy de-
veloped. which caused me much
discomfort. I suffered greatly
from my head and thought it was
only a matter of four or five
years when l would be in the
insane asylum. After a time
my husband decided to try life in
the far west, and. on account of
my physical condition, ! was
glad, for had great aversion
to having my own people know
that was likely to lose my rea-
son. For time after coming to
Oregon my health was much i'm
proved, but it-was only tempo
rary, and soon l was obliged to
consult physician, but without
relief. Then. another physician,
the best obtainable, was con-
suited. each one calling my
trouble heart disease. But while
under their care | continued on
the down grade. At times | would
dismiss the doctor and try some
highly recommended patent med
icine, which only made me
worse, the same as the doctors
medicine did. Finally | became
so very i'll l thought | could only
live a very few days, and again
we called a doctor. He said the
only help | could get was to
move to a higher and drier eli
mate. and to hasten away or
would not live to move. We
came to Washington. l came all
the way in berth; was carried
on and off the cars. Then there
was another. physician called,
who said. as others had, that my
ailment
WAS HEART DISEASE,
and, while he could relieve me. I
could not be permanently bene-
fitted, and he in turn latter
nearly three years treatment)
advised me that a change was
the only thing that would give
me relief. This advice was to
move to the woods, SO I could
have the benefit of the ozone
from the pines. In the summer
and early fall of 1909 while
did not mention 1t to my family

ing that l would not be living the

TIME FOR A CHANGE.

No more striking illustration OF the tact
that the West is opposed to Cannon for speaker
and to the Caunon-Aldrich tariff bill could be
found than the recent poll taken by the Chicago
Tribune of the country editors OF the states
west of the Alleganies. The editors were
chosen because they naturally reflect most
closely the opinions of their constituencies, and
they were asked two questions, 'Is Cannon
your choice for the next speaker" and "Do you
indorse the AIdrich Cannon tariff" The votes
were more than five to one against Cannon and
more than three to against the tariff. In
Minnesota only Is Republican editors favored
Cannon and only rs favored the present tariff.
This ought to cause the Republican leaders to-
wake up to the adoption of progressive party
platform. If those policies followed which
do not have the Endorsement of the country
press, it will only require the occasion to cause
a general breaking away from the party.
The editors were also asked whom they
would vote for president at the present time,
and no candidates were suggested. The vote
was about equally divided between Roosevelt
and Taft with large number of scattering ones
and favorte sons. Roosevelt leads by small
margin, and many that vote for Taft. for
Roosevelt if he would So far the pre-
sent executive is concerned, the only conclu-
sion to be drawn is that the western country is
not exactly satisfied with President Taft, but is
not ready to repudiate him.

RAILROADS AND EXPRESS RATES.

A representative of the Chicago Association
of Commerce has presented some allegations OF
facts to the interstate commerce commission
that throw interesting light on the relations
between the railways of the country, and the
express companies that may explain some of
the difficulty in securing read ustment of
exorbtant rates charged by the express COM
panies, says the St. Paul Pioneer Press. ,..
According to the statement of the Chicago
representative of the business organizations,
the express companies are practically owned by
the big railroad companies The Adams COM
pany, he sad is controlled by the Pennsylvania
railroads; the American by the New York Cen
trail, the United States by the Baltimore & Ohio
the Wells-Fargo by the Hartman lines and the
Pacific by combination of Western roads. The
representative Mr.. H. G. Barlow, declared that
the railroads do not to take over the
management of the express business directly
because they receive 55 per cent of the
profits of the express companies. These pro-
fits, which are unusaly liberal, attract less at
tention coming from the express company
source than they would if they were earned
directly by the railroad companies.
The profits of the express companies are
excessively high, as shown by the extra divi-
dends declared from time to time, and the eff
forts the companies exert to keep their surplus
accommodations from becoming unwieldy. The
Railway Gazette publishes table showing the
following net earnings by the express companies
for the month of December.

The special grand jury which has been in
vestigating the Ledbeter trial at Mankato has
made a scorching report of irregularities in the
first trial. There was evidence that the wit
nesses were interfered with, that jurors were
approached as to their opinion of the case and
that citizens likely to be drawn as jurors were
interviewed by interested parties. These and
other irregularities are scored by the jury as
breeding distrust to the law. The investiga-
ton will have good effect.

Peterson, the aviator, started work
on his airship last September, and has
been building quietly but steadily

Saturday a week ago with the excep-

power on earth can overturn it, when
its engine is in good working condi
ton.
The machine differs from other
models in two chief particulars, the
sliding seat and the propeller. The
seat is built directly in the center Of
