GOOD IN SPOTS.
One Man Who Discovered That War
Was Not Wholly Bad.

Lem Jackson loved to loaf. He lived
In the mountains not far from Green
vile. Tenn. with his wife and a large
brood of children. Lem had Il "houn'

lie spent most OF his time lounsing in

bank of II stream fishing. In that way
he was IL good proviler after fash
ion. but not all the urging. scolding.
nagging and demonstrating Of his
shrewish wife could drive him to work.
Lem led the lazy life of Il Rip Van
Wrinkle until the outbreak of the civil
war. and then he joined the Confed
crate army. At the end Of six months
Lem was shot through the right thigh.
and it was long before he was able to
limp out OF the hospital and back to
his regiment. In the second year he
was shot in the left shoulder. and when
he returned to duty his left hand was
bent far hack by shortened tendon.
but he was still able to raise his rifle.
Early in the fourth year they got him
again-a musket ball through the body

his latest wound. his right leg short
and wabbly, his left hand stiff1y bent

''Glad to see you alive. Lem" said

This support is furnished by means

BOON FOR MEDICAL LAKE.
New Corporation to Expend Vast Sum
on Sanitarium.

Plans for building a vast, modern
sanitarium on the shore of Medical
lake, IS miles southwest of Spokane, are
now well under way, and the company,
known as the Medical Lake Mineral
Water & Sanitarium company, which is
behind the project, numbers amongst
it's stockholders prominent figures in
the commercial life of Spokane and of
the Inland Empire. f. r. Culbertson
is president of the company; William
Huntley, vice president, and E. F. Wag-
goner, secretary-treasurer. Besides these
well-known names, appear some thirty
other names of business and profess
sional men who have taken an active
part in the building of the Inland EN-
pire.
The scope of the organization en-
braces plans for making Medical lake
one of the show places not only of the
great northwest but of the United
States. The sanitarium, designed at the
outset to take care of 500 patients, will
be erected about 1000 yards back from
the lake on an eminence that will give
commanding view of a beautiful and
picturesque country. There will be golf
links, picnic grounds, dancing pavilion,
tennis courts, swings and merry-go-
rounds, shoot-the-chutes and bowling
alleys.
Medical lake mineral water, the salts
that are obtained from the lake and
the mud baths that may be taken there
are becoming better known with every
year, as possessing curative powers for
rheumatism and nervous and stomach
troubles. "Sahala," the mineral water,
has long been on the market.

Statehood Bill.

Few republican senators are anxious
to put the statehood bill through at the
present session. They think the diff
culties between senate and house bills
are irreconcilable, and that it would be
a waste of time to send the measures to
conference. About the only supporters
in the senate of immediate statehood
are on the democratic side, and they
want the house bill passed, as that
would mean statehood for Arizona and
New Mexico in time for fall elections,
and they think it would mean four add
tional democratic senators.
The senate bill, favored by republican
senators, would merely authorize the ter
ritories to take the preliminary steps
and would make it possible for them to
be admitted to the Union only after
congress had approved their proposed
constitutions.
Insurgent senators are waiting for the
sundry civil bill to offer an amendment
for the establishment of tariff commits
sion which would report directly to con-
gress.

PLANSIFOR REST OF SESSION
ARE UNDECIDED.
Owing to Merger Clause offered by
Brown-Few Republican Senators
Think That Statehood Bill Can
Be Agreed Upon.

Washington.-The plans of republican
leaders in congress have gone awry SO
many times that they are chary of an
nouncing any program for the rest of
the session or of specializing on how
long that period is likely to be.
The situation in the senate on the
railroad bill is complicated by the intro
duction of an amendment relating to
mergers of railroads which was offered
by Senator Brown of Nebraska, Just
before adjournment Friday. The provi-
sion contains all the prohibitive fea-
lures of the original section 10, and
none of the advantages for the railroads
contained in the section stricken out.
The senators in charge of the bill do not
want the Brown amendment, but it may
be difficult for them to defeat it. 1t is
not unlikely that the leaders will have
to make further concessions to the in
surgents.
There is a contest between advocates
of statehood and conservation measures
as to what class of legislation shall next
be considered. The supporters of the
public land withdrawal bill viii not give
way to the statehood measure without
fight.
