INSOMNIA

insomnia from which suffered terribly,

acute dyspepsia which made life a most
painful thing for me.

FREIGHT BLOWING FASTER.
Results of Stormy Weather Have All
Disappeared.

Results of Stormy Weather Have All
Disappeared.
Freight is moving with much less
delay now than during the stormy
period of a few weeks ago and there
is less congestion, but the volume of
business is such that the trouble has
not been entirely removed.
A few weeks ago cars loaded with
dead" or non-perishable freight were
often shunted on sidetracks and per-
mitted to lie there for weeks just be-
cause the companies had all they
could do to move perishable freight
live stock and coal. For a few DAYS
the movement of coal engaged the
attention of the roads almost exclu-
sively and every car started from the
mines was traced to its destination.
Now the coal movement is freer and
there is less urgent demand for it ow-
ing to a better supply being obtained
and a lighter consumption. The cas-
Ter situation in the fuel line has made
it possible for the roads to devote
more attention to the movement of
other lines of business and to clear
ing away congestion in the terminals
and moving cars that have stood on
way station sidings for a long period.
The Lehigh Valley road, in a recent
statement made, reported that on sew
eral days during the stormy period it
paid as much as $4,000 a day for
snow shoveling. This gave work to
many men but did not result in a
great volume of business being moved.
Just what snow shoveling cost on the
lines in the west is not known, but
in the open prairie country it has
been much less than on the eastern
mountain roads. In the open prairie
country the shovelIng is largely done
by snow plows and rotaries, excepting
where it must be moved from station
grounds and around switch entrances
in the yards.
Freight agents say that while there
has been a big change for the better
in the transportation business since
the storm that they still have their
troubles. much of them dating back
to the storm period when freight was

ROCKEFELLER Is OPTIMISTIC.
Enthusiastic Over Coast Extension of
st. Paul Road.


New York. Jan. 2S.-William Rookie
Teller. vice president of the Standard
Oil company, following a directors
meeting of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul railway today in an interview
sounded a high note of optimism for the
northwest and spoke glowingly of the
st. PauPs extension to the Pacific slope
The st. Paul railway declared its reg
ular dividends and after the meeting
Mr.. Rockefeller said that the company's
treasury was overlooking with money.
He said:
Just now the st. Paul and Puget
Sound roads are struggling with bad
weather but otherwise conditions are
such as to justify the most extreme
kind Of optimism.
THE coast extension is exceeding not
only our expectations but. 1 might say,
our hopes. Traffic over the entire sys-
tenn is really greater than we have
facilities for and prospects that it will
continue in great volume throughout
the spring. St. PauPs car shortage is
not a serious matter. sA4
Il notice that in spite of the Puget
Sound roads phenomenal earnings
those of the Northern Pacific continue
on the increase. Undoubtedly the nat
ural wealth and the hustle of the great
northwest will support two railways. So
far as we can see ahead, St. Paurs and
Puget Sounds financing is done. AS to
the st. Paul proper its treasury is over
flowing with money"

Are Microbes
in Your Scalp =?
II Has Been Proved That
Microbes Cause Badness

Professor Unna of Hamburg. Ger
many. and DR.. Sabourand. the leading
French dermatologist. discovered that
n microbe causes badness. Their the
ory has time and again been amply
verified through research experiments
carried on under the observation of
eminent scientists. This microbe lodges
I'm the Sebur which is the natural hair
oil. and when permitted to flourish it
destroys the hair follicles and in time
the pores entirely close, and the scalp
gradually takes on a shiny appearance.
When this happens there is no hope
of the growth of hair being revived.
Dandrun is a contagious disease,
which is largely due to a destructive
microbe, which when left to pursue its
course, causes itching scalp. falling
hair and badness. Dandruff is caused
by the microbe affecting the glands
which produce the sebaceous matter.
which latter then unnaturally dries up
and scales OF.
We have a remedy which WILL we
honestly believe, remove dandruff, ex-
terminate the microoe: promote good
circulation in the scalp and around
the hair roots, tighten and revitalize
the hair roots and overcome badness.
so long as there is any life left in the
hair roots.
We back up this statement with our
own personal guarantee that this rem
edy. called Rexall 1891 Hair Tonic,
will be supplied free of all cost to the
user if it fails to DO as we state.
It will frequently restore gray and
faded hair to its original color. pro-
viding loss of color has been caused
by disease; yet it is in no sense a dye.
Isexall "93'' Hair Tonic accomplishes
these results by making every hair
root. follicle and pigment gland strong
and active, and by stimulating a nat
ural flow of coloring pigment through
out the hair cells.

free from grease or sediment, is ex-
ceedingly pleasant to use and will not

BILL OF LADING FRAUDS.
Commission Issues Order Looking t.
Criminal Prosecution.

NElInlual tTOSeCQLlOns
Chicago, Jan. 2S.-Frauds in the issue
of bills of lading of shipping of freight
over the lines of interstate carriers
have been perpetrated so frequently in
the recent past that the interstate COM
mission has taken cognizance of the
matter by promulgating an order warn
ing the carriers that hereafter they
would be prosecuted criminally for any
instance Of false entry of a date on bills
Of lading. It was brought to the atten-
ton of the commission that in many
instances the carriers, at the request of
shippers, have issued bills of lading un-
der dates other than the dates of the
actual receipts of the property for
transportation. the consignors thereby
being enabled to perpetrate frauds
upon the consignee.
The misleading of bills of lading is
misdemeanor under the law, and the
commission has ordered that carriers
which violate the law shall be prose-
cuted to the limit of the statute.

of the Division.
The storm that ushered in the year
1910 cost the Santa Fe in southern
California $4,000.
This is the figure estimated by
prominent official as the cost of re-
pairing the devastation. For nearly
three weeks the work of repairing
the roadbed and bridges over the di-
vision has been in progress but it is as
yet uncompleted. From the amount
of damage already permanently re-
paired and that yet to be undertaken,
1t is said that the cost will be all of
$4,000.
Not a district on the Santa Fe es-
capped without the storm waters
spreading their havoc in their paths.

to be proof against all possible flood

BLASTING DELAYS
TRAINS
No. 26 Due at 4:15 Last
Night Did Not Arrive
Until After 9.

During the past summer months
there have been considerable train
delays in the Cascades. owing to the
heavy blasting in that section. Last
night No. &c, due here at AIS, did
not arrive until after o'clock, be-
ing delayed over five hours. This
was caused by a heavy blast being
set off above the track and the track
being covered with tons of earth.
Last spring President Louis Hill
personally contracted with Grant
Smith & company for the two mil
hon dollar improvement in the Cas-
cades. Smith deposited a bond of
100000 that the work would be
finished on time. There was no
reservations in the contract and af-
ter it was duly executed, Smith told
the president of the Great Northern
he would put in his shots just as
he required and if the G. N. track
was covered it would be cleaned out
just as rapidly as possible. but that
the G. n. service might be delayed
all through the season. Further
more he stated that the railroad
company would have to look out for
its wires: that he was going to fin
ish their contract on time If the
whole G. \. service was blockaded.
Recently in order to protect the
telegraph service, operators from
the Sound have been placed in the
Cascades in order to pick up the de-
layed messages when the lines were
out of order

to the audience and driving the Choir
US girls in various degrees of dress
and undress back and forth in front
of the footlights.
Is it any wonder that nobody left?
The preliminary was better than the
play itself. This is not saying that
the good old musical comedy was not
adequately and satisfactorily pre-
sented, either.
When the curtain finally went
down and the crowd went home,
happy, delighted. laughing and re-
counting the innumerable stunts
of the comedian, he almost collapsed
from the reaction of the strain on
his nervous system. 1t was an ordeal
under which not one man in ten
thousand could have stood up.
Not line was sighted in the play;
not an encore was refused, and it was
nearly l o'clock when the curtain
rang down.
