JNO. r. CARROLL.~EdIt Editor

ACCORDING to the Salt Lake Tribune
the loss of stock by the recent storm in
Idaho, Montana, Washington Territory
and eastern Oregon, will be great. Such
a fall of snow was never known in Oregon
and Washington, and in parts of Idaho.
There was six feet of now at the Dalles-
something which was never dreamed of
before. In Montana a Chinook wind
came after the first snow fall and while it
blew settled the snow down to a wet mass,
but did not carry it off; in that condition
Il blizzard came and turned it into almost
ice, which completely covers the ground.
If this is true, the loss will be almost
total, for cattle cannot fight for grass
which is under the ice and cannot bear
up against a blizzard on an empty stom-
ach. Usually when snow falls in Mon
ANA the wind piles it up in drifts, and
there is food enough left exposed for the
stock. But this time W.; are told there
was little drifting, and we fear our North
ern neighbors will suffer greatly.

Dressing Wen on Small Means.

In a recent conversation with an expert as
to how a woman could dross well on small
means, she said: at is not easy for Ameri-
can women to resist the influence OF pretty
things, and the only way is not to pay much at
tention to mere novelties of dress and fashion,
but adhere to certain fixed and well-defned
rules. Buy good materials, avoid cheap
trimmings, select always such colors as will
go we'll together, and nave them usually
dark Never wear your best or a secondary
occasion, or whom 1t is likely to DO subject to
severe wear and tear. Have best dresses cut
or made by a good dressmaker, and employ
your own efforts on your house dresses and
washable materials. Use best black kid
gloves, ecru or beige tints. They wear bet
ter than fancy %colors, and tho black are bot
ter made and can DO worn with all dresses.
Never buy cheap gloves or cheap hosiery
they are a delusion and a snare. Always
have a plain black walking dress and hand
some black dress, and depend upon cut and
material more than upon ornamentation. If
you can embroider yourself a dress, you can
make a thing Of beauty with little cost: but
otherwise content yourself with the neatness
that is the best evidence OF refined taste"

Mr.. Wm. Thomas, of Newton, Ia.
says: MY wife has been seriously af-
iected with Il cough for twenty-five years,
and this Spring more severely than ever
before. She had used many remedies
without relief, and being urged to try DR..
Kings New Discovery, did so, with most
gratifying results. The first bottle re-
lieved her very much, and the second bot
tie has absolutely cured her. She has not
had SO good health for thirty yeans."

having to stop at every other shop window,

much to save, the most rigid discipline Is
necessary TO keep 1t up. There are always
in a family special demands covering things

The rigid control OF our want Is, there

This may involve ~privation for a time, but
this is a necessity il we propose TO save at

One cause OF the difference between the
poetry Of Asia and Europe is found in the
different positions OF women. The justice
done to women is, as a rule, an accurate
guage of tine intellectual development OF a
country. Our own country is the greatest
exception to this rule, China is one of the
best examples OF it. That country, with the
possible exceptions OF India and Egypt, is
the oldest civilized country known. 1t has
always degraded its women, and it is the

At the last meeting of the city coun-
Gil there was introduced another Or
dinance in the interest of officers fees
and to promote litigation, the workings
of which, if the officers are sufficiently
industrious, the fees will amount to a
pretty good monthly salary. This
ordinance provides that the marshal
serve either written or printed
notice on parties whose side walks are
out of repair and if parties thus served
fail to repair side walks within ten
days after the notice is personally
served on them, they shall be arrested
and brought before the recorder. and
subjected to fne--and still the side
walk will not be fixed. The ordinance
can only apply to those living in the
city and those who live out side of the
city and have property within the
city the ordinance cannot reach. The
officer gets fifty cents fer serving each
notice and if he is active he can serve
fifty day. The city has not got legis-
lation enough in the interests Of
officers fees and litigation. There is
barely enough taxes collected to pay
the officers fees and for litigation, and
vet there are some councilmen who
deem it their absolute duty to legislate
everything in favor Of officers fees and
litigation when the tax payers are te
