Ask 5. P. Company
To EIeCtrify Lines

The Dallas Commercial club will make
an effort to induce the Southern Pa.
cific company to electrify its road from
Gerlinger to this city when that COM

line from Whiteson to Corvallis, and to

with the Southern Pacific company by
the Oregon Power company, whose eX-

supplying "juicc" for this purpose, and

DRINK A GLASS
OF REAL. HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST.
Says we will both look and feel
clean, sweet and fresh
and avoid illness.

Sanitary science has of late maze
rapid strides with results that are of
untold blessing to humanity The lat
est application of its untiring research
is the recommendation that it is as nee
essary to attend to internal sanitation
Of the drainage system of the human
body as it is to the drains of the house.
Those Of us who are accustomed to
feel duh and heavy when we arise,
splitting headache, stuffy from cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom-
ach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a
daisy by opening the sluices of the sys-
tenn each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whetGtr Riling, sick or
well, should each morning before break
fast, drink glass of real hot water
with a teaspoontul Of limestone phos-
phate in it to wash from the stomach,
liver and bowels the previous day S in
digestiOble waste, sour bile and poison
Gus toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening
and purifying the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into the
stomach. The action of hot water and
limestone phosphate on an empty stom-
ach is wonderfully invigorating. 1t
cleans out all the sour fermentations,
gases, waste and acidity and gives one
a splendid appetite for breakfast. While
you are enjoying your breakfast the
phosphated hot water is quietly extract
ling a large volume of water from the
bloo1 and getting ready for thorough
! flushing of all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are both
cred with constipation, bilious spells
stomach trouble, rheumatic stiffness
others who have sallow skins, BLOOD
disorders and sickly complexions are
urged to get a quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
This will cost very little, but is suffi
cient to make anyone pronounced
crank on the subject of internal santa
| ton.

 What has become of the old-fash- toned man who always had DOT ous plaster on his back?

 Lucky is the man who is born with good share of common sense.
 The old-fashioned woman who used to get her face into the pat ent medicine almanac because she lost ten pounds by taking Anti Fat, now has a daughter who gets her face into the advertising col umns because she gained ten pounds by taking Anti-Lean.

Seward Gateway


 Now that the vote on wet or dry has gone dry how are we going to make this Territory arid!
 It is strange but t is nevertheless a tact that when voted dry or wet We were just giving an op' niOn.
 The Territorial Legislature passed the measure for a vote on the liquor subject but the Terrtorlai Legislature has more power to make this Territory dry than you or l.
 tory with the power to say that Alaska must go dry A judge is merely an administrator of the laws; He is law maker, and when an apponuVe Juuge becomes law maker it is time to quit the country.
 This is no argument for wet or dry It IS just an attempt to draw the mind to the real status or this question
 Of course Alaska has stated in unmistakabe terms that it wants to be dry and Congress will prob chlnery Of the people, acts there IS no dry law ID Alaska.
 A Federal Judge can refuse liquor license for cause He also easily find cause, but the question is whether he refuse all licenses or not and so take the place of Congress or any other Legislature by putting all saloons out of business.
 Needless to say. have all the laws Of nor ality on side when ask for the closing Of sa- looms but have all the laws of Democratic gov ernment? Democratic laws require that justice must be employed for the stamping out of evil as well as for the advancement of justice lt was just as criminal for instance, for the people of Everett to shoot the Industrial Workers, so called, it was for the Industrial Workers 10 try by force to compel Everett to see from their view point There must be Democratic government or there must not be- Democratic government has it's faults. It lets minimizing people rule sometimes, but it has tremen- dous advantages. Which would you choose? Would you like to be governed by judge who is pious or by the people who erring?

A "BRAcE GAME" FORECAST
CValdez Prospector)


 One of Valdez citizens remarked that John Frame the best forecaser of elections he had ever seen As an example, here some of Johns prognostica- tions "Wickersham will receive in the Territory about 1000 votes. Sulzer 4670 and Mrs. Lewis pos siby 1,5O0. Wickersham will carry every Division in the Territory He will carry the First by small margin, the Second by larger majority, the Third by about $50 majority. and the Fourth by 1000 ma jority. All this talk about Suzer going to be elected is the merest political bombast
 In not prediction is the above within cables length of the result. Wickersham got majority in any Division in the Territory, and carried but one according to returns up to date by small plurality Frame was over 200 votes off in Fourth 1000 in the Third and nearly 2,OOO in the First. If a man had tried to how inaccurate forecast he could make, he could not miss the results farther than he did And in the of Attorney General he predicted Cobb would win his nearest opponent by 300 votes. If Cobb got complimentary yote we have not heard about it.
 But this kind of trash cost the friends of Frame many thousands of dollars Banking his "infall- ible" Judgment they the limit, and lost their soul, body and brooches. And it served them jolly well right
 Any man who has followed the trend of politics and not allowed some bunk artist to throw dust in his eyes, could have seen that the Delegate would win by very small plurality, if he at all. But when of supposedly astute judgment will allow tin whistle to persuade him it is the whole band. he needs the services of an aurist His heads woody.

For Desirable Property a Desirable
 Tenant May Always Be Found

There may not be enough tenants to "go around" there may be more available apartments or houses than are in demand But the desirable houses and apartments should be without desirable tenants
 If you own property which should bring you regular rental income, and allow that property to remain tenantless for any extended period you arc needessy submitting to financial loss which if assessed upon you in the form of a municipal tax, would arouse your wrath and resentment
 You look about the city and find properties far less desirable than your own, satisfactory tenanted. and bringing to their owners profits their invest ment
 Is there any doubt about the possibility of find ing tenant for your property assuming that it is desirable good value and well advertised?
 To fail to advertise properly in the face of sus- pended rental income from 1t, Is a confession that the property is not rentable through advertising And that would be to confess that u is held for too high rental, that it is badly located, or that for some other it would not appeal to discriminating people.
 If your property is desirable advertising will find a desirable tenant for you. Nothing is more certain than that
