The
Cruel Knife!

lt is absolutely useless to expect
surgical operation to cure cancer,
any other blood disease. The cruelty
of such treatment is illustrated in the
alarming number of, deaths which re.
suit from it. The disease is in the
blood, and hence can not be cut out

LOTS OF TROUBLE
On the Old Mans Mind with Boats
Stranded, Ore Attached and
Lien on the Shelter.

Life must appear somewhat weary
for those playing the Snake river and
Kleinschmidt grade game.
The lien placed on the smelter by
Mr.. Warne for unpaid salary has not
been lifted, and now comes a new
calamity in the shape of an attach
ment on the ore recently arrived in
Weiser from Seven Devils. There are
about 20 tons Of fine grade ore here
which has just been hauled down for
shipment, and the attachment against
it is by VIM. lreton for 1856 of I'M
paid salary as uperintendent of some
Of the mining operations. Mr. Locke
has been in Weiser and makes the
claim that the ore belongs to him in
dividually and not to the New York
and Idaho Smelling Co, This will
probably cause suspension of ship
ment via Weiser for the present.
We havn't the slightest doubt but that
when the first car of ore goes from
Weiser, it will be represented to be
] the first cargo Of the Snake steamer.
By the way, the first barge, which
the truthful Huntington Herald an
nounced to have arrived safely at
Billiards. Landing, is now known
positively to be hung up on this side
