TOLD IN HOOD RIVER
A Resident Known to all Our Readers
Relates an Experience

Readers of the Glacier have been
told again and again of the merits of
that reliable, time proved kidney rem
edy- Doan's Kidney Pills. The exper-
fences told are not those of unknown
persons living far away. The cases
are Hood River cases, told by Hood
River people.
Isaac Ford, Hood River Ore, says
The lapse of time since | publicly en-
dorsed Doan's Kidney Pills has not
changed my opinion of them. | still
take this remedy occasionally and il
always benefits me- Lumbago and
kidney trouble caused me much suffer
ing and | seemed unable to get relief.
The pains started in the small of my
back and radiated through all parts of
my body. AT night was so miserable
that could not get my proper rest.
In the morning | was stiff and lame
and any attempt to stoop or lift drove
me almost frantic. had dizzy spells
and felt tired after the least exertion.

Why Not For U.s.

Here are wide spaces of brick pave
ment, clean as a whistle, even. lasting,
effective. The natural inquiry would
be-.
why can't we have such pavement
at the entrance to San Francisco in
stead OF the rough basat blocks
dumped on sand that make the Embar-
cadero unsightly and Inefficient"
Perhaps the Harbor COMMISSIONERS
could answer that question. Perhaps
they think present conditions are good
enough. Perhaps they are willing to
remain in "A backwoods state of devel-
opment. But if they'd come up here
and see, they'd hardly have an excuse
for keeping the Embarcadero as it is.
Now Seattle has l65 miles of paved
streets-paved with this smooth brick
pavement that seems so desirable for
medium traffic conditions; with asphalt
or with cement or stone blocks.
The cement and stone blocks are not
rough, irregular shapes, dumped down
recklessly on sand to be dusty in sum-
mer and muddy in winter, as are our
basalt block streets, but these blocks
are shaved to nicely and then laid on
a firm foundation of concrete or other
material, bound and grouted so the
surface is almost as smooth as asphalt,
When cleaned these streets do not at
once spit up more mud or dust to foul
themselves as so many of our streets

Has Lasted Eighteen Years

AS to the durability of the brick
paving, | am told that the oldest pave
ment of this sort has been down eight
cen years in section where it has
withstood the heaviest teaming and
general traffic. 1t is now getting worn
and rough and is to be replaced or re-
paired by turning the bricks over and
exposing theirsunder surface, when it
is expected to last at least another de-
cade
! was once told that we had not been
able to develop good paving brick in
California ana that it was too expen-
slve to bring the bricks from Seattle.
But surely a pavement that will last
with one turning over matter of
thirty years can't be q specially expen-
slve pavement. as compared with Mar.
ket street, for instance always under
repair.
I've been over a good portion of Sc
atte's l65 miles of paved streets, and
they certainly are such as to make
San franciscan blush and stammer
when he thinks of the backwardness-
the village conditions prevailing on
most of the streets of his own beloved
city.
Surely my suggested excursionists
would find much of instruction and in
terest In SeattIes solution of the street
paving ana cleaning problem.
And there would be much for our
Fairgrounds Commission to ponder
over They probably think they are
doing very well with their little play
spaces. But here in Seattle. with far
less population and much less conges-
tion than we have in San Francisco.
there are twelve big Fairgrounds now
IN operation, equipped with steel ap-
paratus and under supervision. Then
there are four other spaces used as
athletic fields, and four more play
grounds in process of Improvement.
