Vancouver, b. c. November 10, 1910
To The Free Press: Enclosed you win
find a few lines in. regard to our trip
to the coast. Wife and | left Mankato
18th day OF October, going to Spokane,
Washington. Oar ride > through the
mountains was one Of pleasure rs new
views were constantly coming into
sight. Looking from the car window
the soil of North Dakota and Montana
appeared to be very dry and a great
part OF it was gravel, the gravel show
ing nearly To the surface. Comparing
those states with good old Minnesota,
give me Blue Earth county. Reached
Spokane. our first stopover, evening OF
the 18th. We were met at the depot
by Mrs. Emma Dyer and her daughter
Nora and taken to their residence. We
have met number of old friends in
and around Spokane. Visited our
brother-in.law, Byrde Curryer, who is
living near lIillyard Wash. DR.. Curry
er's widow makes her home here and
appears TO be real well.
The raising of fruit and vegetables
is the principal work OF the farmers in
this section. They raiset the cleanest
and best vegetables have ever seen.
We were out where the packing of APP
Piles was in full blast. Fruit was cx-
ceedingly fine.
Spokane is a most beautiful city, sit
mated on each side of the Spokane river
1t has many beautiful and costly resi-
dences and some fine parks. Mantle
park is one .of the beauty spots of the
city. Grand View is another park. Can
see over the entire valley for miles
from this elevation.
The weather was clear most of the
time, but rather chilly mornings. En-
joyed very much going down to the
river and viewing the falls, as there
are three, the upper, middle and lower
It is grand sight. Electric power is
generated by this river and a number
OF mills, both lumber and flour, are
located on its banks.
Left Spokane October 26. taking the
Oriental Limited, No. l, train over the
Great Northern. This is the scenic
route over the Cascades. Reached the
Columbia river about noon, crossing and
going up the valley of the Wenatehee.
This is a beautiful valley and the
stream is very rapid, like all mountain
streams. Reached the Cascade at 2:30
p. IN. Electric motors were subst.
tuted for engines here, thus doing away
with coal gas. We are just eight min
utes in going through. Also passed
through the Horseshoe tunnel. Can see
the exit OF this tunnel at the left ut
Il lower level. Saw the place at or
near Wellington where whole train
was thrown down the mountain side by
q snow and landslide last winter killing
L great many. Immense snow sheds
have been built here since that disaster.
Some places here Il person can look ont
of the car and see three tracks at diff
ferent elevations. The engineering diff
ficulties were tremendous and TO a
person not familiar with such work, il
would seem insurmountable. We reach
ed Vancouver, e. c., our destination.
for the present. Will write what
have seen here in my next letter. Re-

Sandstone Courier: a Duluth banker,
I. II. Martin, several years ago was
involved in a bankruptcy case and only
a part OF his obligations could be paid.
He went to work and has just finished
paying the last cent that he owed, in
all about $4,000. Such cases of honesty
are certainly refreshing in this present
day world.

an instance where dealer in Eu.

sale in an. antique store and sold it to
an English earl for $l,460. Later, the
earl finding he was buncoed, sold it for

apportionment bill finds its way into

apportionment bill finds its way into
the senate.
In the past Senator Works has
changed his mind, and is proud of it.
Four years ago he told the people OF
Blue Earth county that he was III
favor of q tonnage tax. but after he
was elected to the senate he found it
convenient to change his mind. lie also
promised number of people here
tabouts that he would vote for a county
option bill, but he changed his mind.
Now the question of reapportionment
will be made prominent in the legisla.
ture. Works has placed himself on
record before the people of Blue Earth
county as to what he will do in the
premises. lie may carry out his pledge.
"And then again." he may not.
| So our advice to The Herald il this /:
Cheer up; Senator Works may change
his mind and vote just as the iron in
terests and Duluth and all of Northern
Minnesota want him to. The senator
is possessed of one of the most clever
acrobatic minds that ever occupied a
niche in the Uranium of man; so don't
despair. He may change his mind.

will be to get their section into what
will be sewer district No. 35. This
proposed sewer will run from Euclid
avenue to the river, distance of near

be possible for the sewer to deviate

NEW USES FOR POLSAM

Surprising Results After One Applica-
tion-Skin Ailments Eradicated.
Those who have on hand a Jar of
poslam, the new skin remedy, should
try it for some of the little skin all
ments common to all households par
ticularly in the summer time. Sur
prising results will be seen after a sim
gle application when poslam is used
for sunburn, fever blisters, mosquito
bites, burns, rasfes, pinples, hives, red
noses and irritated and inflamed skin.
The complexion is cleared over night;
dandruff is dissolved; itching or chat
ing feet are speedily relieved.
These uses are suggested apart from
the primary purposes of poslam, the
treatment of eczema, acne, skin scale.
all forms of itch and other serious and
virulent skin troubles. There is no skin
disorder for which poslam should not
be unhesitatingly used and which it
will not benefit. Whenever itching is
present, it is stopped at once
According to the uses for which it is
employed, poslam may be purchased in
50-cent boxes or 50 jars at all drug
stores, particularly Rosser Drug Co.
and Fred A. Shows. A free sample,
which will demonstrate its marvellous
work, will be sent by mall, upon re-
quest, to anyone who will write to the
Emergency Laboratories, 80 West 25th
street, New York City.

NO CHANCE TOR WAR.
Secretary of War Dickinson Finds Most
Friendly Feeling In Japan.

New York, July 2e.-"War with
japan is not a possibility unless wis
dom is discarded" says Secretary OF
war Jacob NJ. Dickinson. in a cable
gram from Manila to a New York
newspaper, in reply to request for
his views as to the relations between
the United States and Japan.
'sThere is nothing to warrant ru-
mors of impending strife between the
two nations says Mr.. Dickinson.
"Those who originate them are enc
mics of mankind-are not doing a
patriotic work. The level headed peo-
nle of both countries should not only
dfscredit, but condemn them. All
heard in Japan was confirmatory of
the opinion which 1 had previously
reached-that there is no reason for
hostilities between the United States
and Japan, and that the real interests
of neither government could be pro-
NOTED by war. Differences may arise,
but they should be settled by diplo-
macy, arbitration or an appeal to The
Hague tribunal.
Japan is struggling under a heavy
national debt. Her Industries and
commerce are expanding in all direc-
tions. It is irrational to suppose that
under such conditions Japan will pro-
woke war with our country.
There is no sphere of such neces-
sarv antagonism as would make war
possible unless wisdom was discarded,
The United States will not seek such
a war and will resort to all honorable
means to avoid it"

General F. B. Dawes made one of the
most convincing speeches at the court
house at 2:30 p m. Monday in the in

from the various sections of Decatur
county listened intensely for nearly
two hours. giving round after round Of
applause to the speaker and were will
ing to stay longer although the heat
was very oppressive.
Gen. Dawes certainly puts up talk
that suits the western farmer. His
quotations from the records put in his
forceful and clear manner were con-
vincing-every statement was verified
and no generalities INDUCED in.
Mr.. Dawes speaks at Norton tonight.

DOESN'T LOSE HIS VOTE.
Person Who Failed to Record Ballot
at City Election.

The attorney generals office has
handed down an opinion that citizen
who voted at the general election
November, 1908. and who has not
moved from his house number since
that time is entitled to vote at the
primary election without registering
again, even though he failed to vote
at the intervening city elections.
This opinion was given in view of
the fact that certain city officials of
the second class cities have been rul-
ing that a voter was not eligible who
had failed to vote at city elections and
school and bond elections unless he
had registered again. Failure to reg
lister would bar the voter from taking
party in a city election, but not in a
general election or primary.
