procure by lease for term of years
the 4Oacr tract belonging to the
county out mile or more north of

say the least, is certainly very
laudable enterprise.

J,E, FARRELL ON THE
COMMISSION PLAN

| have been waiting to See if any
body would give the people any
comment or encouragement on the
line of the commission form of gov
eminent. There is no question as
to city being run great deal bet
ter and great money saved under
the commission plan.
What applies to the large city
will apply to cities of this size and
much smaller. | spoke to one of
our representatives some time ago
about the commission plan and his
answer was that what the people
wanted they generally got, and it
did not embrace cities of this size
When we send men to the legisla
ture we send them there for action
and have laws enacted to reach such
towns as Ellensburg where the
whole people will be benefited by
such laws.
| appeal to your common sense
for comparison you elect mayor
and city council, for what not to
be dead ones; but to serve the best
interests of all concerned. For
pure patriotism they are not COM
pensated for their services one
cent piece, as to salaries.
Many of us receive kicks and
cuffs behind our backs when we
can look God and man in the face
and say that we are dealing with
you justly. Patriots are not born
every minute. Patriotism is what
makes man lay down his life on
the battle field in defense of his
dear ones and his country, provid
ing he has the proper cause for his
action.

builds house or any mechanical
construction, first is the foundation,

might be a Niger in the fence that
will never be fully explained and
the same can be said probably of
Elensburg 5 past history and every
other small town.
This commission system is worth
going after and as expression gives

OUGHT TO HAVE
TERMINAL RATES

III reference 10 Tie III tlClc III tuS
Record of Monday pointing out FL
lcnsburg as a jobbing center of
Central Washington, we fully agree
with it that this is an ideal spot
but would like to call attention to
the fact that so long as we have not
got the same terminal freight rates
as Seattle and Tacoma, Ellen sburg
as a jobbing center is impossible.
AS it is now, even if we had use for
whole carloads of any kind of mer-
chandisc from the east, we must
pay the full rate to the Coast and
the local rate back. Another in
Congrulty is that cash buyers can
come in here and buy up stuff, pay
the local freight rate to the Coast
and reship it to- the east, while
we would ship direct to the east
from here, and we would have to
pay the local freight rate to the
Coast, plus the full rate from the
Coast to the cast
Now, if we only had the same
freight rate from and to the east as
the Coast has, Ellensburg would
soon develop into a jobbing center
for Central Washngton-in mar
vclous short time, and the Coast
would not need branch houses
here to establish a jobbing trade in
our midst, as there are plenty OF
competent men with money behind
them here in l.llensburg, who have
watched the situation and are eagar
to develop the jobbing trade, thus
giving employment to good many
workers, if the railroads would only
give us terminal rates.
We only need turn our attention
to Spokane, where there is bitter
fight for terminal rates going on
just now.
The local press as well as the
Chamber of Commerce, ought to
get together and boost for terminal
rates to make Ellcnsburg what it
ought to bc-a big commercial city.

Beneath the waters of Lake Nemi,
in Italy, lie buried two pleasure gal
leys. They belonged to the Emperors
Tiberius and Caligula, and it is said
they contain art treasures that have
been covered for many centuries. Sys-
tematic efforts were made to recover
the contents Of the old hulks by Sig
nor Borghi in 1895. Divers were en-
gagged. and the two galleys located,
measured and carefully examined, and
from both bronzes. pieces of wood, an
chors and ornaments of all kinds were
collected. The larger vessel measures
about 230 feet In length and 80 feet

Short Breath.

Respiration in health and under
normal conditions Of rest or moderate
exercise is an unconscious act, almost
as much so as digestion or the beat
ing of the heart, but 1t Is very easily
disturbed, even In health, and in Ger.
tain diseases its disturbance Is often
one of the most distressing symptoms.
The short breath following violent ex-
ertion, such as running or hill-climb-
Ing, is familiar to every one. 1t La
due to the increased call for oxygena,
ton of the blood and the temporary
inability of the heart to pump the
blood in sufficient volume through the
lungs.
When shortness OF breath Is brought
about by moderate exercise or mental
excitement, 1t is due to some abnormal
condition, such as anemia, obesity, q
weak heart or indigestion. This ten,
dency is relieved by attention to the
weak point, whatever it may be. and q
judicious system Of exerciseg--a sort
OF modified training.
Permanent shortness of breath, or
dyspnea, ss 1t Is technically called,
Is more serious affair. and is usu-
ally due to some actual disease. What
the disease LIS of which this dyspnea
is symptom can often be discovered
only by a careful and thorough medi.
cal examination of all the organs Of
the body.
1t is often called asthma, and treat
ed at home by inhaling the fumes Of
burning inter paper or by some other
OF the ordinary remedies. But asthma
is distinct disease, although its true
nature Is not yet definitely determined.
1t occurs In paroxysms, usually at
night, in the intervals Of which the
breathing Is generally easy and quiet.
Permanent dyspnea is another mat
ter. and is an indication of something
wrong
1t may be due to great variety Of
causes, only a few Of which can be
mentioned here.
Anemia, or poverty of blood. may
give rise to permanent dyspnea, as
we'll as to shortness Of breath on
exertion. The symptom is regular
accompaniment Of diminished lung ca,
pacity, either through consolidation Of
more or less Uf the lung tissue In tu-
berculosis or pneumonia, or through
compression of the lungs by an accu-
mutation of fluid or air in the chest.
Anything that interferes with the
free action of the heart, such as weak.
ness OF the cardiac muscle or disease
Of the valves of the heart, pressure by
fatty deposits, an enlarged liver, or
as in the stomach. will produce short
ness of breath.
Short breath In children Is COM
monty the result of obstruction in the
air passages, caused by enlarged ton.
siIs, the presence OF glandular tissue
in the pharynx, called adenoids. or
swollen condition OF the mucous mem
brane Of the larynx.
Persistent shortness Of breath is a
symptom that should not be neglected.
