lnjsring Corn On Flooded Lands.

Prof. j.. NJ. Stedman, Of the departe
ment OF horticulture of Missouri, is
on a tour through st. Charles. Sc
Louis and Franklin counties. Since
the recent floods IL has been noticed
in the river bottoms of these counties
that a peculiar bug is injuring the
corn. These bugs, up to this year,
have always worked on the bulrushes
in the swamp district with deadly ef-
feet. This year, however, the bulrush
crop is not very luxurious, and the
insects have taken to the corn with
the same deadly effect. Prof. Sted.
man is going to collect a quantity OF
the bugs for experiment. He hopes
to be able TO i~noculate them, Just as
the chinch bugs are inoculated, and
SO relieve the farmers of the bottom
lands Of the plague.

SEEKS TO BUY
CANADIAN COAL
Standard Oil After Large Fields in
British COlumbia--Nill Acquire
1000 Acres for $2.500,OOO.

One of the largest coal deals that has
been effected in the west in years, it is
said, is now being consummated across
the line in British Columbia, says Satur-
days Post.Intelligencer. The pros
pective purchaser is the STANDARD Oil
company and the property is owned by
the Nicola Valley Coal & Iron company,
fifty miles north of the boundary line,
on the survey of the Similkameen-Nic
branch of the Canadian Pacific and
close to the surveyed line of the Coast
Kcotenai road, to be built by the Great
Northern railway.
The property contains 1850 acres of
coal lands, and the quality of the coal
mined is said to be even better than the
famous Crows Nest pass product. The
consideration is said to be s., 800, 900,
and the negotiations on the part of the
Standard Oil company are being con-

Quoted by NJ. X. Rogers, the company's
representative at Vancouver, B. c.
Among the visitors in the city yester-
day was w. l.. Mitchell of Vancouver,
who is interested in the Simikameen
valley coal properties. In speaking Of
the deal at the Rainier-Grand yesterday
he said:
"ror the past two weeks two expert
coal engineers employed by the Standard
Oil company have been looking over the
coal and iron deposits of the Nicola Val
ley Coal and Iron company, and the
statement was made in Vancouver yester-
day that the deal would 90 through and
the American company buy out the
fields, consisting of $500 acres, for a
consideration of $500 600. All the
negotiations are being conducted by NJ.
X. Rogers of Vancouver, agent of the
Standard Oil company in British Column
bia. If it goes through it is the inten-
ton of the company to develop the
properties and put the coal on the
market.
At the present time there is no rail-
road to the mines. However, within the
present year it is expected there will be
two. The Great Northern is at the
present time engaged in building line
from Grand Forks to the Pacific Coast
at Vancouver. This will pass within
three miles of the Nicola valley fields,
and the Canadian Pacific has undertaken
the construction of what is known as
the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES branch
which will pass right through the prop
critics. With these lines built all that
would be necessary for the company to
do would be to construct sidetracks and
short line to the Great Northern Coast
kootenai branch, and it would have two
outlets in either direction.
"There are number of other coal
properties in that same district that will
be opened up and be made producers as
soon as the railroads get their lines
through. Much of their product will be
brought to this side as well as placed on
the Canadian markets"
The above coal fields are but a short
distance from the property of the West
ern Coal and Iron company, limited
amount of whose stock is now being
offered in this city for 10 cents per share.
Recent advises from the home office in
Tacoma state that shares cannot be
expected to remain at this price very
long. For further information call upon

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreadful disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages, and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting di-
rectly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation of the dis
ease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its work.
The proprietors have so much faith
in it's curative powers that they offer
