Is Your Appetite
Always Good =?

Why can't you eat as you used tol Sim
ply because your liver doesn't do its work
properly. Its business is to take bile out
of the blood, which acts as Natures
cathartic, but your liver is sluggish and the
bile accumulates too fast, and you feel
worn out, tired and lifeless, and each sue
ceeding day brings no relief. The use of
Smiths Pineapple and Butternut Pills will
regulate your bowels, stimulate your liver,
and promote healthy, vigorous appetite.
Mr.. RAY W. DIXON, Of Sanford. Me. writes:

Try them and you will be convinced that
these little vegetable pills are indeed a tonic
and stimulant to the functions Of the liver.
Then your brain will be active, your mind
clear, and health conditions again estab-
fshed and you can eat anything. Get
your liver right. Smiths Pineapple and
Butternut Pills act gently but surely on the
liver. Physicians use and recommend
They form no habit. You should always
keep them on hand. These little Vegeta-

Beverly, Mass, Aug. 31.-DiscussioD
If President Taft's probable appoint
nent to the supreme court was revived
here when it was learned that the
president took luncheon yesterday at
the home Of Charles Z. Searles, near
Ipswich, with Associate Justice Holmes
and United States Judges L. d. Colt,
William L. Putnam and Francis c.
Lowell of the First circuit. The pres
ident has two vacancies to fill on the
supreme bench. One occurred with the
death of Chief Justice Fuller and the
Justice William II. Moody makes for
NAL announcement of his retirement
under the recent act of congress. There
is no doubt as to Mr.. Moody's inten-
tion to quit the bench, although his
health is said to be improved.
So far as friends of the president
know at this time, he has not changed
his mind as to the appointment Of Gov
ernor Hughes to succeed Justice Full
Ter. The governor has already been
confirmed by the senate as an assO-
ciate justice succeeding the late Justice
Brewer. The president, if he follows
his present plan, will have to with
draw the governors name as associate
justice and submit again as chief JUS
tice.
There is little doubt that Mr.. Taft is
considering the name of Lloyd w.
Bowers, solicitor general of the United
States, for the other vacancy. Mr..
Bowers is believed here to stand bet
ter chance at this time than does any
other man.

DENIES BRIBERY CHARGES
Vice-President Sherman Replies I'm
Vigorous Terms.

Vice President James S. Sherman
has sent the following telegram from
his summer home to the United Press;
"The story coming to me of the Gore
charges in Muskogee is absolutely
without the slightest shadow of foun
dation."
The vice presidents telegram was
sent in answer to messages sent to
him detailing the charges made by
Senator Gore before the congressional
investigating committee at Muskogee,
Oklahoma, yesterday.
II never heard my name mentioned
in connection with the McMurray con-
tracts" Sherman's telegram added. Il
did not have any interest of any kind
in the Indian contracts other than the
interest 1 have always taken in the
welfare of the Indians. 1 shall always
have this interest. but it is not a per-
sonal one. The story as far as my
name is concerned, has no founda-
ton whatever. If any one has said I
was personally interested in this case
he stated that which is not true"
Il have endeavored always to show
Senator Gore consideration in the Sem
ate, because he is blind" Sherman
continued 81 think the manly thing
for him to have done, if my name was
mentioned in connection with the Nc
Murray contracts, would have been to
inform me-"

No Evidence That Vice President Had
Any Interest In Indian Contracts.

When the statement issued by Vice
President Sherman was read to Senator
Gore Saturday night by the United
Press, the senator said:
"I have never charged, directly or
indirectly, at any time. that Vice Pres
ident Sherman had any interest, inn
mediate or remote, In the McMurray
contracts. / did not intimate before
the committee that he was implicated.
1 was compelled to state, as evidence
that MIR. Harmon had advised me
that the vice president had such an
interest. made the statement under
protest, as l have expressly said, with
great reluctance and regret
II merely told the tale. told to me
by Harmon. and l was obliged to
do so.
II think I owe II to the vice presi-
dent and the country to say that the
fact that his name was ever mentioned
in this connection by Harmon and the
fact that his name was ever mem
toned by myself. should be covered by
perpetual forgetfulness and oblivion.
1t should be blotted from the memory
OF man"

OsWEGO BRIDGE LOFTY
Trains Cross Willamette River at
Dizzy Height of 80 Feet.

Rising so feet above the Willamette
River is the new high bridge at Os-
wego. Any upper river boat will be
enabled to pass under the bridge at
any stage of the river. There is no
draw.
on the west bank of the river high
trestle has been built. This eventually
will be replaced by structure more
substantial
Twelve months were consumed in
building the bridge, although the work
was extended over two years. g. w.
Boschke, chief engineer of the Harri-
man lines, built the bridge, as he did
also the Galveston breakwater. Just
as he prophesied for the brealSwater,
Mr.. Boschke says the bridge will defy
any force. The breakwatcr, which
stands as monument to him, was
undamaged by the great tidal wave Of
year ago.
The Oswego bridge cost $350,000. 1t
has two stone piers and three 3O0-foot
spans. The first passenger tran ran
across it July II. The line approach
ing it lis known as the Beaverton
Willsburg cutoff.
Only four trains a day now cross
the bridge, two passenger and two
freight. 1t is said that the low cost
is a record for the amount of traffic
the bridge carries.
The bridge Is constructed of steel
and carries a single track. The spur
leading to it is two miles above Mil
waukie, on the east side line of the
Southern Pacific. In place of running
along Fourth street, the Forest Grove
passenger trains now run over the rail-
road bridge and across the oswego
bridge.

OUR MARKET LETTER
Receipts and Sales at Portland Union
Stock Yards.

PORTLAND, Or, August Gully Is
usually dull month in livestock
markets, but receipts at the Portland
Union Stock Yards We're fairly liberal.
The total number of cars were Ala,
in which We're $3.50 cattle, 6938 hogs,
1913 sheep and 331 horses and mules.
AS compared with last year, there was
decrease of 7S5 cattle, an increase of
1904 hogs, an increase of 1886 sheep,
and an increase of so horses and
mules.
The July cattle market closed as
strong as it opened on good qualities,
while half-finished animals reached a
lower level of prices Top cattle were
in strong demand at Sc. The hog mar
ket in July rallied to $1,000 and closed
at about $10.15; the sheep market for
the month closed strong, with Sc for
lambs and $4 for the best wethers.
Items of interest in connection with
the market include the building up OF
quite a business in the purchase and
sale of milk cows. Dairymen are look
ing to the Portland Union Stock Yards
as market place, for the reason that
all cows offered for sale here are test
ed by a government inspector free of
charge.
James ]. Hill, of the Hill lines, and
Robert S. Lovett, of the Hartman
lines will be Vice-Presidents of the
Fat Stock Show to be given at the
Yards, March next A number of dis
tinguished stock men in the Pacific
Northwest and throughout the United
States will act as officers of this show.
The proper grading of cattle on this
market and the paying of what the
difference between good and thin
caused the cattle men of the country
to turn their attention toward grain
feeding and this fall and winter will
probably see more granted cattle in
Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Cali
fornia, than in any previous year.
Good granted cattle are worth from
1c to hc more per lb. than hay-fed
cattle. At the difference, it will pay the
feeders to use grain.
A good barley crop, plenty of oats,
an abundance of alfalfa and high
market make swine raising popular,
and that most profitable of all crops
is receiving much attention in the Pa
cific Northwest. 1t is doubtful If sup
ply ever catches up with demand, and
preparing hogs for the Portland mar
ket is the surest and safest business
open to the farmer.
