COLDS

The quickest relief for a
cold is by SCOTS emulsion of
cod-liver oil.
You will find the edge taken
off in a night; and, in three or
four days, you'll be wondering
whether that cold amounted to
anything anyhow.
That's relief. If you tackle
it quick, the relief is quick; if
you wait, the relief won't
come-you know how colds
hang on.
Wen send you a little to try, If you like.

Anyone in search of location for q

avoid the rush.
Ben Deweese was Humptulips visitor

the crop raised this year is equal to the
best in the state.
Thomas McNalley, OF Hoquiam, was in
the city the early part OF this week. The
Press is informed that he was here
negotiating for property few miles
above Humptulips.
G. A. Kellogg was in the city Tuesday.
He reports his neighbors all happy and
contented, but says the trail between
here and his ranch is rather sloppy and
"gets no better fast"
Geo. Bosley was in Humptulips, Sat-
urday, buying supplies for his ranch
above the city. He is located up in
2l.lLand has one OF the finest quarter
sections in the township.
There is talk OF building new church
edifice in Humptulips. We understand
the church organization has the choice of
two or three very desirable locations for
the new house OF worship. but as yet
has made no selection.

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
"Something New Under
the Sun"


All Doctors have tried to cure
CATARRH by the use OF powders, acid
gases, inhalers and drugs in paste form.
Their powders dry up the mucuous MEM
branes causing them to crack open and
bleed. The powerful acids used in the
inhalers have entirely eaten away the
same membranes that their makers have
aimed to cure, while pastes and ONT
ments cannot reach the disease. An old
and experienced practitioner who has
for many years made close study and
specially of the treatment of CATARRH,
has at last perfected a Treatment which
when faithfully used, not only relieves at
on,e, but permanently cures CATARRH,
by removing the cause, stopping the dis
charges, and curing all inflammation. 1t
is the only remedy known to science
that actually reaches the afflicted parts.
This wonderful remedy is known as
"SNUFFLES the GUARANTEED
CATARRH CURE" and is sold at the
extremely low price OF One Dollar, each
package containing internal and external
medicine sufficient for a full months
treatment and everything necessary to
it's perfect use.
"SNUFFLES" is the only perfect
CATARRH Gu RE ever made and is now
recognized as the only safe and positive
cure for that annoying and disgusting
disease 1t cures all inflammation quick
Nv and permanently and is also wonder
fully quick to relieve HAY FEVER or
COLD in the HEAD.
CATARRtl when neglected often leads
to ON-"SNUFFLES" will
save you if you use it at once. 1t is no
ordinary remedy, but complete treat
ment which is positively guaranteed to
cure CATARRH in any form or stage if
used according to the directions which
accompany each package. Don't delay
but send for it at once, and write full
particulars as to your condition, and you
will receive special advice from the dis
coverer OF this wonderful remedy re-
garding your case without cost to you

Born. I'm Cosmopolis, Wash., Tues
day, November 26, 1901, to Mr.. and Mrs.
Ernest Hubble, daughter. Father,
mother and daughter are receiving
congratulations.
The Lord looked out for his own this
1901 Thanksgiving day. Mr.. F. NJ.
Bachelor, out of the natural kindness OF
his heart, left good fat turkey at the
Enterprise office, Wednesday morning.
At the hotels, restaurants and board
ing houses in Cosmopolis, as well as at
many private residences, there was
feasting Thanksgiving day-feasting that
would compare favorably with what
TRANSFERRED in other sections of this great
country.
Mrs. w. +. Pagctt entertained the
Cosmopolis members of Grays Harbor
Lodge, No. SOB, r. p. o. f., and few
others, at dinner, Wednesday evening.
1t was a royal feast, that will be re-
membered with pleasure for many a
day by the guests.
Messrs Walter Van Deuscn and Frank
Alexander, OF Wichita, Kansas, are two
nephews OF Mr.. and Mrs. Stanley w.
Smith who have come to Cosmopolis to
spend the winter and learn something
about this country. In the spring they
may look for favorable locations on
government land.

Rev. Cobleigh, pastor OF the Presby-
terrain church, rendered his resignation
last Sunday to take effect in February
The reason for his resignation is that the
climate does not agree with him and ne
must seek higher altitude.
The loss of the spear at the bottom OF
the Olympic we'll, at depth OF 900 feet,
appears to be very serious accident ana
serious doubts are entertained as to the
attempt to drill further in that well. II
not, a new one will be bored along side
of the old one. The very best prospects
we're present when the accident occurred.
A. F. Axtel, one OF the sea otter hunt
ers of North Beach, came up Thursday
and stayed until Saturday. Shorty, as
he is commonly called, killed the only
two offers killed on the beach this year.
For one of the hides he received $500,
the other was poor one and brought
but 300. The Indians killed seven off
shore and this is all that has been killed
this year.
Harry G. lIecrmans returned Thursday
evening from Corning, New York, and
will spend the winter here looking after
his large interests. Mr.. Heermens re-
ports that business conditions in the East
are the very best and looks for large
Western development. He says the
most striking development in the Eastern
states is the suburban electric car lines,
and cites instances where lines $50 miles
long have been built and are developing
at rapid rate.
Miss Florence NJ. Diffin was married
last Wednesday night to Mr.. Hiram r.
Westlake, at the home Of the brides
parents, Rev. VIM. Cobleigh, of the
Presbyterian church, officiating. The
bride is the second daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Geo. Diffin. She has lived here
many years and is a most popular young
lady. The groom came here from Port
land and has made many friends. All
wish the young couple the best of wishes
for happy journey through life.

G. s. Kendall was up from Aberdeen
the first of the week. He says he will

Mrs. Sarah Luark, who has been a

Will will take charge of the farm.
Montesano will have only one ticket

past the allotted three score and ten, is
still able to show the younger generation
how to trip the light fantastic toe.
