Frosty Creek.

Considerable inquiry has been
made of late regarding the Frosty
Creek mines and DAWN reporter
concluded to look the matter up by
making visit with parties directly
interested. Frosty Creek mines
are situated at the mouth of Frosty
creek tributary Of the south fork
of the Tanum and are about ID
miles west of Thorp and 20 miles
west and north of Ellensburg, and
are in Kittitas county. Tanum
Greek affords natural way to the
mines by wagon road or horse trail.
These mines were located by e.
lensburg parties late last fall and
T. J. Vinton, of this, city drew a
map of the mining district and
placed it on file in the Auditors
Office. The company is known as
the Golden Copper King and Col
den Gate Milling Co., with head
quarters at Thorp. II. J. Vinton,
of this city, will be glad to tell you
all about it.

DR.. Joseph B. Price was born in
Washington county Penn, Nov. Sd
1918. Graduated from the Pennsyl-
vania, medical college of Philadel-
phia, of the class of 1912; moved to
California in 1850; was elected
sheriff in 1858; and was reelected
in 1860. He practiced his pro-
fession in Pennsylvania, California,
Oregon, Montana, Idaho and
Washington. He came to Wash
ington in 1870 and to this valley
in 1873. He has lived long
and useful life and was highly
respected by all who knew him.
He leaves three daughters-Mrs.

John R. Robertson, Stevensville
Mont, and Mrs. Mary J. Bakee,
Stevensville, Mont. He also leaves

The Grippe and Sulphur.

In my daily papers of December
22d l find that there are supposed
to be something like 100000 cases
of grippe in New York City, and
that it is also prevailing largely in
Washington, Philadelphia and
other large cities, and is now
threatening Boston. 1t is fact
that when it was prevailing as an
epidemic largely in our city few
years ago, l ascertained, by inquiry
of my officers at "Byam's Match
Factory" that of the forty-three
persons employed there not one had
been troubled by it.
l have at various times told the
press how many at Memphis, Ten
nessee, Including the agents of

ctation" escaped the terrible cpl

the tree will be inclined, but the
bending thus far has been in the
wrong direction towards extrava-
gance rather than towards economy.
Comparisons may be odious, but
they are useful at times, and it is
hoped will prove SO in this case.
At the last session the assembly
elected sixteen employees, while the
present assembly has elected
twenty. In addition to that the
salaries of employees have been en-
creased twenty-five per cent over
that paid by the last Legislature.
The speaker has been given an al
lowance of SO per day in addition
to his regular salary, and $500 ap-
propriated for postage stamps, pre-
supposing that the members will
write 81 900 letters on official bust
ness during the cession.
In the aggregate, all this increase
of employees and salaries will
amount to very considerable
sum. While not enough TO make
or break the state, such a policy il
continued will be sufficient to
break record for economy and
furnish ammunition for the opposi.
ton in the future.
The true spirit Of economy is tc
be careful of the little things, and
economy in larger ones will natur.
ally follow. 1t is to be hoped tina
the spirit of extravaganza which
now seems to prevail will be nipped
in the bud before serious damage il

Many women live where there is no skill

more cannot afford to pay the high fees
charged. These sufferers should follow the
example of Mrs. Anna Willy, of Worthwhile,
Sphinx Co., S. OAK, who writes as follows
to DR.. r. v. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y:
~ am enjoying good health, thanks to your
kind advice and valuable remedies l suffered

two years when wrote to you for advice. After
six bottles each of DR.. Pierces Favorte Prescrip-

DR.. Pierce has probably treated and cured
more cases of female weakness, pains in
the back, side and abdomen, nervousness,
headache, irregularities, ulcerations tu-
rnors and other female troubles than any
other living physician. His wide expert
ence peculiarly fits him to bring about cures
when every one else fails. He charges no
fee whatever to those who write him for
advice, and he invites all to consult him
free by mail. His wonderful remedy,
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, can
be depended upon to overcome nearly ev-
cry kind of disease that afflicts girls and
women. 1t contains no alcohol, opium, or
other narcotics, and does not create craving
tor injurious stimulants as is so often the
case with other medicines advertised for
woman's ailments.
An honest medicine dealer will give you
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and not
try to persuade you to take some inferior
substitute for the little added profit he may
make thereon.

MADE A BAD START.

The Tacoma Ledger recently
gave utterance to the following art
icle, and at the same time admin
istered some sound advice, but the
whole thing has gone unheaded
by that august body of sound Re-
publicans known as the Washing
ton legislature. We have hoped
for better things of that party, but
our hope has vanished and the only
thing that now remains to be done
is to turn them down at the polls
in 1900 and elect another Populist
legislature before the entire credit
of the state has been entirely
ruined. But hear the Ledger:
"The legislature is not making
good start, nor one which indicates
that economy is to be very seriously
considered during the present ses-
sion. On the contrary, the indica-
lions are that unless a halt is called
the fusionists' charges of republic
can extravaganza may be verified.
The lower house is largely republic
can, and therefore it must assume
undoubted responsibility for it's
acts, and should take unusual care
to present record for economy at
least equal to that of the fusion as
sembly which preceded it.
AS the legislative twig is bent, so

LABORERS CAUTIONED.

Several of the Roslyn boys who
went down to Wallula to work on
the branch railroad being con-
structed near there, have come
back and made report to the eff.
feet that the wages paid are as
advertised, $1.75 per day, but there
the good points cease. The boys
say they were charged sixty cents
per day for board, and after they
had worked a few days they were
laid off until their board bill about
equalled the wages due them, after
which they were discharged. If
there should be a small balance
due the workman he was charged
ten per cent of it's face as fee for
writing his check. The checks
were payable in either Walla Walla
or Pendleton, where the banks dis
counted the checks five per cent.
This is only case of one man TAX
ing advantage of another ones ne
cessities and misfortune, but, if
true, and the authority for it is
good, is kind Of robbery that for
meanness compares with the case
of him who, upon arrival at river
ferry with the corpse of his wife,
was asked when he stated he had
no money to pay the ferryman, to
Offset the obligation by giving him
the coffin. Lynching is almost too
mild punishment for such das-
tardly robbers, who would cut ones
throat were it not for fear of the
law.
