of ailments should be the most gem
eral and so we have whole nation
suffering from constipation and indi-
gestion, for they are CLOSELY allied
But common as constipation is many
people do not seem to know they
nave it. They will complain of head
ache, drowsinesS or biliousness all
unconscious of the cause of the trou-
be.
You should have full and free
movement at least once day. If
you pass day you are constipated.
and the result VIII be that you will
catch a cold easily or have a more
serious ailment. To cure the consti-
patton and forestall still graver trou-
BILE take u dose of DR.. Caldwelps Sy-

after giving the present management
an opportunity to redeem its failure.
the executive council of the students
held a special session yesterday after
noon and abolished the monthly.
AS substitute it proposes to issue
monthly edition of the college pa
per. under the management of the stu
dent newspaper men. At this propo-
sal, Flora Dunham of Portland, the
present editor OF the monthly to whom
the work of editing and large por-
ton of the management of the two is
sues already prepared is due, objected
and rendered her resignation. She de-
clared:

magazine or die at Cnce."
The final report, submitted by
Manager Ralph V. Cake of Portland,
showing a deficit of $50. was not ac-
cepted, but filed. In previous years
the magazine has been made to pay
dividends, though not always.

Washington, Dec. Especial y
From whatever angle the ninth annu-
81 convention of the National Rivers
and Harbors Congress. which recent
ly terminated its sessions in this city,
is viewed, there can be but one con-
Clusion, that II was one of the biggest
conventions the organization ever held
and that the resolutions adopted took
advanced position on the question or
municipal or state owned water ter
minals as one of the correlated prob
lens growing out of the Improvement
Of the rivers. harbors and canals.
President Thomas Wilkinson of the
Upper Missouri River Improvement
association and pioneer in the ef-
fort to interest municipalities in the
ownership of water terminals, said
yesterday that the legislatures of
Minnesota, Wisconsin. Iowa Missouri
and Illinois would have before them
this winter bills creating departments
of docks for the purpose of acquir-
ing, controlling and operating port
terminals
These states, while pioneer in the
movement for larger freedom to the
shipper and consumer" said Mr. Will
kinson, will undoubtedly be rein
forced BY other commonwealths in an
effort to have cities. on navigable
rivers own their own docks for the
benefit of the entire shipping public.
In order to secure the full utiliZa-
ton of the waterways. which we are
asking the government to improve,
certain restrictions must be removed.
Improved channels are essentially
necessary; but their use largely de-
pends upon the power of the differ
ent cities and towns thereon. having
adequate facilities, TO handle the COM
merce.
These terminals must be so con-
Structed as to provide the most eco
nomic and convenient system possi-
bIe for the handling of commerce and
the quick interchange of freight be-
tween the waterway and the railway,
so as to invite the patronage of ship
pers.
'In connection with the water ter
minal it is absolutely essential that
physical connection be had with belt
railways which in turn must have
connection with all rail lines, to the
end that speedy transportation be OBJ,
tanned and the cost of freight han
ding be reduced by the introduction
of modern up-to-date mechanical ap'
pliances.

COMMITTEE MEETING.

Complete organization of the repub-
lican county central committee was
effected at Omak last Saturday, and
plans laid for the coming campaign in
the interests of the national, state and
county tickets. Fred. J. Fine, of Oro-
vile was elected permanent chairman
of the committee, Geo. j. Stewart, of
Malott, secretary, c. E. Weatherstone,
of Omak, treasurer, and J. Henry
Smith, of Ophir precinct, former reg
lister of the United States land office at
Seattle, was elected member OF the
state central committee.
A fine county representation of pre-
cinct committeeman was present, the
only section not represented being the
Methow valley. Features of the meet
ing were absolute harmony and unani-
nous accord to proceed with cam
paign in support of the republican
party and nominees that would be eff
fective in degree far greater than
has been possible in the past. The po-
litical complexion is now such that a
county organization must be big fac
tor in the campaign.
The committee elected to govern this
body is corps of men who can lead
good fight. Chairman Fred J. Fine
is one of the old time leaders of the
county, particularly fitted to manage
the present situation through his two
years association as a member of the
state central committee, which gave
him knowledge and insight of the
changing political conditions that
could not be gathered without that
character of close contact with politi-
cal issues
j. Henry Smith is an ideal man for
state committeeman by reason of his
former connection with the present
national administration, a wide ac-
quaintance throughout the state, and a
long experience in political matters in
Skagit county prior to his ten years,

ASSESSMENT STATEMENT

According to statements from the
State Board of Tax Commissioners,
the valuation of Okanogan County as
equalized by the State Board, for the
levy of State tax is $53S,715 lower than
for 1911 and $1,S31,71 lower than for
1910.
The assessment on the operating
property of the Great Northern Ry,
which is assessed by the State Board,
is $1,SS3,472 higher than for 1911, and
$365.62S higher than for 1910.
The valuation of Okanogan County,
exclusive of operating railway, for the
three years is shown in the following
columns, the first showing the value
on which the county levy is made, and
the second, the valuation as equalized
by the State Board for determining the
amount of State tax:
Value equaliZed Value equaliZed
by County Board by State Board
1910 $5,063,773 $S,065, 1886
1911 $5,5S1,37O $6,773, O55
1912 $6,263,7O4 $6,234,340
The following is the assessed valu-
alton Of the operating railway for the
three years and the tax paid thereon
each year. The 1912 tax is figured on
33 mill levy, which is the average
rate of levy on the said railway for
the year 1911:
Valuation Tax
1910 $340,309 $1O,993. Is
1911 1922, 465 $17,207 Al
1912 $7O5,937 $23,295 IS
The tax we have been called on to
pay the state for the three years is as
follows: 191O-$45,646 1911-$3S,666
1912-$4O,1S4.
The raise in our state tax this year,
instead of material decrease, is due
to the fact that the State is raising
$757,2S2 more money this year than
for 1911.
While the State Board reduced the
valuation of OkanOgan county (eXclu-
sive of operating railroad) more than
half million below the assessment of
1911, the valuation of the State was in
creased approximately fifty millions.

After discussion of the campaign
finances, special assessments were
