that some of the relatives will 90 to
Jefferson to identify the remains.
What seems to more fully establish

he had walked in from Waterloo and

PRICES WILL BE ADVANCED
Box Manufacturers on the Coast Have
Formed a Pool
Al of the Big Concerns Are In the Combine.
The Rate on Cabbage Crates Already
Put Up Three Cents

For some time past box makers
throughout the state have been cutting
prices until it is claimed that the mar
gin Of profit was below living rate.
Some six months ago negotiations were
commenced for the organization of
pool to put stop to what was called the
prevailing ruinous competition and put
rates on a paying basis. This organ
ization, it is now stated, is completed on
the general lines, though some of the oe-
tails have not been agreed upon, and
there will be a general advance in
prices. Among the many manufactur-
ers who have so far joined the pool are
those at Truckee, Verdi, Sisson, Red
Bluff, Chico, Sanger and Flagstaff.
Ariz. G. X. Vending is the general
manager of the trust, with headquarters
at San Francisco, and w. f. Barnes,
formerly manager of the Slckiyou Lum-
ber company, at Sisson, is the outside
man, and will look after the interests of
the coast. The trust will also control
the output of boxes for the small fruits
The price of cabbage crates has al
ready been advanced cents, or from Ia
to IL cents. The other rates have not
yet been announced. Southern Cali
fornia is of course most Interested in
the price of orange and lemon boxes the
ruling rate on which has been ten cents.
This, it is said, will be advanced cents,
which would mean nearly $50 900 on an
average crop.

The Cat Held Up q Line of Cars

A black cat held up the trolley roads
running through Fulton street, Brook
lyn, for quarter Of an hour Tuesday
night. In some way the cat had made
its way to the fiat wooden guard box that
runs along under the elevated railroad
tracks just above the trolley wires. The
cat ala not mean to interfere with the
passage of the cars in any way. 1t first
attracted attention by letting off terrific
howls Of terror and wrath every time a
trolley car passed under it.
The cries attracted the attention of
folks on the sidewalk, and they, in turn.
protested against what seemed to be the
torture of the cat.
Finally trolley car was stopped di-
rectly under the place whence the yowl
seemed to come. The motorman climbed
to the top of the car and attempted to
reach the cat by paving around over
the top Of the guard box.
The cat eluded him and made StenO-
graphic notes of its emotions on the back
of the motorman's hand.
A long line Of ears had become blocked
by this time and the repair wagon was
summoned by telephone.
The repair men seized the cat amid
much excitement on the part of the
cat and themselves and cheers from the
assembled multitude.
Just as the man with the cantanker-
Gus and ungrateful beast in his arms
stepped into the body of the repair wa
gon from the ladder. the cat scratched
its way loose and made a mad break
for home and freedom.
Nobody knew where it went, and the
trolley cars, which didn't care. started
on in changing procession.-Ne York

|1HE TYRANNY Of IHE infant INDUSTRY

Don't you think the oil men are re-
sponsible for the fragrant abuses of
others rights?" asked the reporter.
We'll, they will not do much until
there are laws to be obeyed. There ought
to be an oil inspector, too. There has
been much trouble in the sale of unmer-
chantable oil, and the matter needs at
tention.'
isn't there an oil Inspector"
mo. Oh, well, there is one, but he is
more OF police officer, and yet there are
few laws to enforce.
1--WE had an exchange here at one
time and the price Of oil recovered DUR
ing its existence to $1.25 per barrel Our
expenses were between $4,000 ard $4,000
but we had difficulty in collecting funds.
Many of the oil men would not pay. The
traffic needs regulation the same as in
the east"
1--WE thought at one time that we were
protected against the placing of boilers
and engines upon property next to our
residences The ordinance prohibited
the setting up of boilers or engines with
out the consent of the fire commission
ers, but we found afterward that the
law applied only within the fire limits.
AS we are outside of the fire district
we had no protection. Now, if the fire
limits were made co-extensive with the
city limits the necessary legislation
would be secured.
A SINGLE ADVANTAGE
There is one thing" added the doc
tor, with a smile land only one thing,
that see, which has been improved since
the advent of the oil, and that is, we have
fewer mosquitoes than formerly Since
the oil began to form on Westlake park
no mosquitoes have come; the oil or gas
seems to kill them. Before that time
1 have counted as many as 119 on a
single picture"

It's Easy to Promise
But Who Will Fulfill?

Doubtless many people have gone to
their physician and he has promised to
cure them and they have lived only to
see that promise broken, and gone on
from day to oday-disheartened. Many
such apply to US sick and discouraged
and have found relief. We meet many
people whom the doctors have told could
never be cured and have put them on
the road to happiness with glad
dened heart, and they thank us day
after day for what We have done for
them. Our patients are our best advec-
tisements.
We are always guarded in our prom
ises-as we always fulfill them-and if
we cannot cure you we will tell you so
that you may be prepared for the worst.
Simply because others have failed to
cure you, you need not stay away. Do
not give up until you have consulted lis.
If you cannot consult us personally
then write to us and describe your
symptoms fully and do not be afraid to
tell us ALL as your correspondence will
be kept strictly confidential and will be
carried on in plain sealed envelopes
Send for our symptom blank and
Guide to Health You may find some
thing in it that will interest you.
When you have some acute trouble
most any doctor will do, but when YOU
have some chronic trouble or disease Of
long standing, then you want an eX-

combined in one company, and you may
have the opinion of five at no greater cX-
pense than the one. Isn't it to your in
terest to consult the five? The best is
always the cheapest.
