The Appetite of a Goat.


The Appetite of Goat.
Is envied by all whose Stomach and
Liver are out of order. But suck
should know that DR. Kings New Life
Pills, give splendid appetite, sound
digestion and a regular bodily habit
that insures perfect health and great
energy. Only Csc at c. V. Dunbar's
Drug store.
We hear many complaining about
this or that little fault with Washing
ton, but when we stop and compare
this state with those east of the noun
tains, the contrast is so sharp that out
of gratified pride we pat ourselves on
the back and utter congratulations that
our lot is cast in such pleasant and
prosperous region. The water cometh
but the cyclone stayeth away. 1t
rains but the lightning does not follow
in it's wake to distroy our home, kill
our stock or clap it's horrible branding
iron on Our person. The wheat fields
that stretch for miles and miles in
Minnesota and the Dakotas, and once
in while bring wealth to the farmer
but oftener places patches upon his
farm, are not for us, but instead we
have only to tickle little piece of
land with the plow and vegetables and
small fruit upon it, to be able to snooze
at noon and wear silks and broadclotll
as the result of our labor. One of the
drawbacks to this state is the size of
the Strawberries and other small traits
for our mouth was not made quite large
enough to eat strawberry the size of
regular base ball at single gulp, so
we have sorrows of our own even in
favored Washingto .-Elma Chronicle.
| FOOD AND SLEEP are necessary to life
and health. If you can't eat and sleep
take Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t creates a
good appetite, cures indigestion and
dyspepsia, over comes nervousness and
gives sweet, restful, refreshing sleep.
| But little work is needed to COM
| plete the new road up tho hill on the
| Upper Skokomish road. The present
road is very steep in places and re-
quires careful driver, but the new
road is on five percent grade over
which team can trot, along either up
or down. A week or ten days work
will finish the job. The road starts
about half mile below the present
one at the top of the hill and no provi :
sion has been made for connection.
The matter will be brought to the at
tention of the County Commissioners.
By the expenditure of 500 to build two
miles OF new road the distance from
Shelton can be shortened by at least
two miles and the road improved.
Tenas Charley and James Wilbur,
two Indians from the Reservation, are
in the custody of Sheriff Vogtlin, serv-
ing out fine. The former was once
married to Phoebe Moses, and when
the couple separated, she was given
the allotment of land on the Reserva-
ton. Last week Tenas assisted by
Wilbur entered the land and cut the hay
against Phoebe's objection. They
were arrested for trespass, and tried
before Justice Dean at Union City,
were fined $40 and costs each.
| Although Mason County will raise
up one class, it will tall little short
of the 1000 population, being about g.
84S. While these figures show a very
small gain apparently oyer the census
OF 1890, there was large floating pop
ulation in the county ten years ago,
but that of the present day is perma-
nept.
