Cal. Huddleston is out from
Camp Lonesome, on French creek,
where he has been trapping this
spring. He brought out eight fine
bear skins and sundry other pelts.
Salmon river has been higher
this week than at any time for ten
years. Uncle Griff Roberts was
compelled to remove from his resi-
dence at the mouth of SkoOkum
Chuck.
Mr.. Wing, a trapper from the
Colgate country, was in town this
week with the largest grizzly bear
skin we ever saw. He has been in
that country all winter and says
nothing has been seen or heard of
poor old George Colgate.
The nip of a poisonous snake is
but slight remove from being
more dangerous than the poison of
Scrofula in the blood. Ayers
Sarsaparilla purifies the vital fluid,
expels all poisonous substances, and
supplies the elements life, health
and strength.
Riley Dixon came over from
Willow creek with James Edwards
Saturday, who had laid over there
on account of an accident to Fri
days stage. Dixon reports great
prosperity and the promise of the
best crop ever raised on Craig's
mountain.
Boils, abscesses, tumors, and
even cancers, are the result of a
natural effort of the system to
expel the poisons which the liver
and the kidneys have failed to re-
move. Ayers Sarsaparilla stimu-
lates all the organs to a proper per-
formance of their functions.
On May % the Clearwater at
Lewiston was 20 inches higher
than ever known, and two feet
higher than the high water mark
of 1887. The whole town is fight
ing the river by putting another
dyke on top of the railroad EN-.
bankment. The highest water is
due on or about June 10, unless il
turns cold in the meantime.
The bridge across Slate creek a.
Freedom went out in the higf
water Saturday. 1t was an ole
bridge and has done good service a
a small cost. In view of the con
struction of the wagon road w
think it would be economy to pu
in substantial iron bridge at tina
point. The old bridge was broker
down by stampeded band O
horse, and the high water compile
ted the work of destruction.
Commissioners Fockler ant
Meyer were in town Friday ant
filed demurrer to the proceeding
in the $500 fee case instituted b,
attorney Ailshie in the probat
court. The demurrer was heard b,
Judge CARRIER Monday, and by hin

for attorney Ailshie. The cas-

and two neices arrived from Be-
tavia, Iowa, last Friday, and dt

day for the first time since h
recent accident which confined hi
to his house for several weeks wit
broken ribs. He reports 43 acr,
of fine growing grain and the fine'
garden on Camas prairie at tt

in this section and Mr.. Holm,
takes great pride in keeping it
good repair.
