1T is 4 MISTAKE

Many have the idea that anything
will sell If advertised strong enough.
This is great mistake True, a
few sales might be made by advertis-
ing an absolutely worthless article
but 1t is only the article that is
bought again and again that pays.
An example of the big success of a
worthy article is the enormous sale
that has grown up for Cascarets
Candy Cathartic. This wonderful rec
ord Is the result of great merit sue
cessfully made known through per-
sistent advertising and the mouth-to-
mouth recommendation given Cas-
carets by it's friends and users.
Like all great successes. trade pi-
rates prey on the unsuspecting pub
lie, by marketing fake tablets similar
in appearance to Cascarets. Care
should always be exercised in pur-
chasing well advertised goods. espe-
cially an article that has national
sale like Cascarets. Do not allow q
substitute TO be palmed off on you.

The Oldest kIlckitst.

Jake Hunt the oldest living Klicki-
tat Indian known, lies at deaths door
at his home adjoining this town east
of here. The old Indian is reputed to
be more than 100 years of age.
Years ago an Indian village stood
where the Hunt family now carries on
a general farming business. All that
Is left of the old settlement is a little
church, totem pole and numerous
mounds where the Klickitats lie who
could not reach the century mark. Old
Jake says that this was the Indians
paradise before the advent of early
white settlers.
Jake Hunt is destined not TO die a
poor Indian. His lands are as rich and
productive as any in the valley and
command high price. He is said TO
have married seven times during his
long career, but there Will be only a
widow and few children to fall heir
to his valuable property.-Husum Cor

President Taft made new speed
record by running up from Washing
ton. writing a speech on the way, at
tending two dinners and starting
back tor the capital little after
the days end. He arrived in New
York on the Pennsylvania Washing
ton express a little after 6 o'clock,
jumped into an automobile at the
Pennsylvania new station, and in
a iify was shaking hands at the
Pennsylvania Society's reception
which preceded the society's dinner
In the Hotel Aston. He dined with
the society. gave them his views on
the necessity of terrifying the Pana-
ma canal and then made quick trip
to the Hotel Martinique. where he
made a short speech 10 the guests
and members of the Press club din

board the private car Mayfiower,

this session will declare in his favor
and appropriate $5,000,000 to begin

In the senate the president has
been told the sentiment in favor OF
fertilization is almost two to one.
The house seems evenly divided. but
not along partisan lines. Most OF
the members appear to have an open
mind, however, and are willing to be
convinced by the side that makes the
better presentation of its case. Pres
ident Taft will bring all of his in
fluence TO bear in favor of fortifica-
ton.
President Taft's speech was a com
plete reply to all limitations that for
titication of the canal would contra
vene existing treaties with England
or be in the nature of an affront TO
any nation.

Escapes Unhurt, But Minister Nier-
man Is Hit by Ball in Leg.

In the French chamber OF deputies
two revolver shots were fired by an
unknown man. supposed TO be an an
archist, at Premier BRAND, the So
cialist leader.
Premier BRAND was unhurt al
though he had narrow escape.
One of the bullets struck Minister
OF Public Relief Norman on the leg.
Premier BRAND. although Social
list. incurred the enmity of the radi-
cal members of his party by his stand
for law and order at the time OF the
railroad strike. BY many he was ac-
cused of betraying the Socialist cause.
1t is believed that the attack in the
chamber is the result of the ill-feel-
ing generated against BRAND. as the
sequel to the strike settlement.

More astounding stil, try to imagine
the number of persons committing
crimes who are never found out The
criminal population of the country is
enormous. The crime we know and

seen single criminal to whom did
not feel closely related. We are too
much alike to condemn each other. -
