FROM ROCK CREEK.

Losses on upper Rock creek in stock ha We
been small SO far. and if the weather con-
tinues as it is at this writing there will be
no cause for complaint. Hay is selling at
twelve and fifteen dollars per ton.
heard several wishing to see the ARGUS.
Why not send three dollars and take the
fsvorite county paper for one year, and by
SO doing get all the news of the county at
a nominal price. 1t may save you twice
that amount in a short time.
There was a dance at the residence Of
Mr.. Whippls on Beaver creek on last FRI
day evening. The attendance was quite
large. He deserves our thanks for making
our dreary winters as pleasant for us as
possible. He and his amiable wife have
left nothing undons for the enjoyment of
their guests. Long may they live. Mr..
Lewis and son, Of Beaver creek furnished
music for the occasion.
This has been a very busy winter on up
per Rock creek. Mr.. Job Thornquest and
George Finch have banked about two hun
dred and fifty Thousand feet of saw logs on
upper Rock creek. Clary and Lockwood
will saw them on shares. Strong & Co.
have a contract for two hundred thousand
feet, lowerdown on Rock creek. They have.
at this writing, probably one hundred and
fifty thousand banked ready to saw. The
logs are contracted for Clary and Lock
wood, who have their mill ready and will
commence saving in a few days. There will
then be four mills within three miles ofeach
other, and at a small estimate there will be
two million feet sawed in this vicinity this
season. With this amount OF lumber at
reasonable prices there is no reason why
ranchers and stockmen of this section
should not provide good shelter for their
stock fer the coming winter.
The dance given at the residence OF Evan
Jones on the 13 inst, was the largest and
most enjoya BILE affair of the season. One
can hardly imagine the number OF people
living on upper Rock creek antil he attends
one OF these bachelor dances, which have
become SO popular in this part of the
county. We all join in giving Mr.. Jones our
for his kindness and attention to
his guests. We learn from one Of the ladies
who had charge Of the supper that there
were sevsnty-fivs spreads laid on that
occasion. There was an abundance and a
variety of good things, in fact the best the
market affords. Rock creek was well rep
resented while many came from a distance.
Beaver creek was represented by Mr.. John
Whipple and his accomplished sister. Miss
Maud, Mr.. John Walker and two estimable
sisters, t. Moore, Pady Ryan and Others.
C. Clary and j.. C.. Walker Of the Judith |

Justice, Bateman & Co.'s wool cir
cular OF recent date contains the fol.
lowing in relation to the effects of the
Mckinley bill on wooden mills: "Many
wooden mills that were closed through
failure or other causes during the few
years preceding the passage OF the Nc
Kinley bill havenow nearly all changed
hands, and are either already running
or being prepared to start up. The
falling off in the imports OF woolens
has been sufficient to give additional
employment to American wooden mills,
and the wooden manufacturing bust
ness is now more prosperous than it
has been for several years. Our own
sales for January and February have
exceeded those of the same months OF
any previous years; this is owing to
the transfer of wooden manufacturing
from England to America. Some idea
of the extent OF the falling off may be
had from an Associated Press dis
patch dated London, Feb. Is, which
says: James Wilson & Sons, of Bel
fast, Ireland, have failed for 5000.
They claim that their failure is chiefly
due to the Mckinley bill, that measure
having killed their formerly large cash
trade in packing cases for woolens to
be sent to America"

Rev. Howard McQueary of Canton,
Ohio, has been found guilty OF heresy
by an Episcopal court at Cleveland,
Ohio. The cause OF his a~rraignment
for heresy was a book he wrote, in
which he denied the immaculate con-
ception and physical resul rection OF
Christ. He held, in brief, that Gods
spirit entered Christ and made him a
perfect man, and that when he arose
from the dead it was a spiritual and
not a physical resurrection. He
evolved an original and rational idea
and had the courage to promulgate it
He must go. What a pity he cannot

President Eliot, of Harvard univer-
sity, must have a hair-trigger attached
to his mouth. The latter went off in
st. Louis last week and the recoil
knocked him speeches.. This great
philosopher travelled on n pass all
the way to st. Louis to inform
An audience that western people were
ignorant. His remarks created a SEN
sation. So manifest was the dissatis-
faction that the speaker left the hall
before finishing what he had to say.
The following is only a small chunk of
the wisdom impaired by the Indian
worshiper of the effete east: "iou in
the west are subject to that which We
in the east are not-the sudden waves
of misinformed public opinion. Let
me urge upon you to take up this mat
ter in the west and look to it. 1t is
against the interests of your COM
merce and your individual business
that such a flood OF misinformed pub
lie opinion has got control of some
states in the west. Those in control
should be properly informed. They
should be taught the true doctrines
year by year, in persons, in bodies,
and by the public press. You must
relieve the minds OF the people in this
western country of their erroneous
ideas" Wonder il the learned gentle
man can point to an instance where
witches have been burned west of the
Mississippi?

keenan, & Co.'s circular, issued Fri
day evening, March 10, contains the
following in relation to the cattle mar
ket: "Receipts of cattle for the week,
$4,000 head. The market opened
strong and has advanced every day
during the week IA good, strong,
healthy market. The increase in the
receipts made no difference. They are
all out OF beef east Of Chicago, and
they are bound to have it. This is the
cry now, and the fact cannot be de-
MED that the west must supply not
only all OF the eastern markets, but a
good portion of Europe as well. Moth
ing pleases us so well as to get u in
the morning and ask g cents for cat
tie, even if we have to take off from
so to rs cents per hundred. 1t is
only a question OF time when We will
ask 6 cents and get it. Give us light
receipts for thirty days and we will
realize 6 cents per pound for the best
cattle"

The facilities of the present day for the
production of everything that will con-
duce to the material welfare and comfort
of mankind are almost unlimited and
when Syrup of Figs was first produced
the world was enriched with the only
perfect laxative known, as it is the only
remedy which is truly pleasing and re-

~effectual to cleanse the system gently in
the Spring time or, in fact, at any time
and the better it is known the more pop-
