+. A. McGregor, the widely
known and respected stock man

county, is here visiting his old friends,
Mr.. and Mrs. Milton Spencer and
other GunnIson oounty..people. who
know and love him well. This ie the
first time he has visited this valley in
many years, and he appreciates the
mighty strides it has made. Every
thing you see is yours, McGregor as
long as you stay. He will return to
his son-in-law' Samuel B. Hartman
His visit reminds the writer OF an in
cident which happened some year,
ago. We had been helping him in his
big hay harvest one season and at the
close he asked rs how much he owed
for our work. We replied that our
inquiries in the valley had elicited
fact that wages were 81 ;25 per day.
81 won't pay it, promptly replied
the tall patriarch, with his clear
Scotch eyes fixed on ours, We were
considerably abashed at this unex
pected answer but having very
modest opinion of our ability as hay
hand were getting ready to suggest
81 100 per day when he quickly added
"Ill pay you dollar and a hslf.'

Buffetfng against strong current, but with plenty of water under her. the river steamboat City of Mobile reached Montgomery from Mobile at o'clock last night. 24 hours over due The boat brought a large cargo consist ing mainly of grain.
 The lateness of the steamer due to the heavy cargo and not to the flood in the river To a representative of The Advertiser of hcer of the boat said that the overflow of the Alabama from a point 50 miles above Mo bile to Selma was of more serious nature than 1t was in the vicinity of Montgomery on account of the low banks. Much more property was damaged he said. below Selma than between Selma and Montgomery.
 The City of Mobile left Mobile Saturday night and arrived at Selma at o'clock Tuesday night, leaving there at i2 o'clock The only obstacle met with by the steamer 8 fog. which delayed the boat 10 hours Sunday night when about i45 miles out of Mobile
 Many logs were adrift all along the river. but the majority of the debris was carried over the banks in the low places and the boat encountered serious difficulty.
 Members of the boats crew said that the condition of the river was very serious in many places, but they entertained no fears whatever making the return trip to Mobile.
 Captain G. w Quarles was taken i'll in Selma and Captain Gray was in command of the boat from Selma to Montgomery

 There was no delay in securing action on the Alaskan treaty and very little op- position to it was manifested, Senator Teller said that he considered the Alas Kan boundary so well determined as to make 1t not matter of dispute. There Tore, while he would not delay it, he would not vote for 1t. Senator Mason made few similar remarks, adding that he considered the procedure proposed by the treaty non-American. The ayes and noes were not called, but there was sew eral voices heard in the negative when an informal expression was called for The ayes were so much more numerous, however. that the decision of the chair to the effect that ratification had pre- vailed was not challenged.
 All the provisions of the Alaskan boun- diary treaty except one paragraph from the French portion of the treaty nave been published heretofore by the public press. An official translation of this paragraph, which was an extract from the Russian-Anglo treaty of 1925 ipcor porated in the new Alaskan treaty. les been made as follows:

ARSENAL ON FIRE.
$2,OOoO, 900 Worth of Uncle Sam's
 Property is Destroyed.

Davenport. Ia., Feb. 1.-The principal issue store house of the United States arsenal at Rock Island, Ills, was destroy ed tonight by fire. The contents were valued at $1.500.00O and. included cavalry and infantry equipments and 100000 rounds of Krag-Jorgensen smokeless am- munition.
 The building was massive structure, three stories in height, erected twenty years ago at a cost of $4O00O0.
 The flames in the great government in- stttution endangered property worth many times the loss. The fire was under con- trol at midnight when Major Blunt. the commandant. estimated the loss at @, ,0OO.- 900. There were no casualties so far as known.
 The Rock Island arsenal Is the largest in the United States. comprising three immense buildings and covering thirty acres Of ground. It represents an ex pendhture of $30000.000 The site of the arsenal, the island o6 Rock Island, rising from 14 to g feet above the high water mark, lies in the middle of the Mississippi River, with Davenport. Iowa, just across to the northwest and with the cities of Rock Island. H.. and Moline, H., on the southeastern bank.
 The island stretches along the course UT C1e riVer distance of two and three fourth miles. with width of one-fourth to three-fourths of a mile and Is regarded as possessing extraordinary natural ad- vantages from military view point.
 The situation of the arsenal building made the fire difficult to fight. When the flames got beyond the control of the ar senal men, help was asked of Des Moines and Davenport, Ia., and Rock Island and Moline, H. Help arrived promptly and the firemen fought hard until conditions became dangerous to life on account of the large amount of ammunition in the burning building. Then the storehouse was left to its fate and attention was devoted to saving the rest of the plant. By midnight nothing was left of the i'm mense building and its stores. The other buildings escaped.
 An unusually large amount of ammuni ton was on hand as 1.5OO men have been at work on rush orders received from the War Department

STOLE MUCH MONEY.
Methods of Insurance awtndlsrs are
 Unearthsd.

Unearthed.
 New York. Feb. l1.-An exposure of the methods of the conspirators in the recent ly discovered Italian life insurance frauds was made today by the confession of one of the men concerned. The frauds have been in operation for ten years during which time the insurance companies have been defrauded by hundreds of thousands of dollars. In one instance a company paid out $20.0O0 on one fraudulent risk.
 The head of the conspiracy. 1t is said, was Bartolomo Cirino, who was recently arrested and released under 5000 bail. Cirino is said to have disappeared and his bond will be ordered forfeited.
 The usual plan of operations was to make an application for insurance in the name of some person in practically dy- ing condition, @ healthy substitute being presented for medical examination. In cases where the original risk" fingered too long to satisfy Ine conspirators, a substitute body was used on which to col- lect the amount of the policy. These bod les are said to have been furnished by Joseph Tripan, an Italian undertaken who is now awaiting trial in the Tombs. In some instances false death certificates were presented, said to have been signed by Cirino or by two Italian doctors who are now under bail.
 So well organized was the scheme that there was a regularly appointed board of directors that used to meet every week to discuss the payment of premiums fall ing due to pass upon the substitution of bodies In the cases of risks that did not die until the payment of premiums be- came too heavy.

= A DAILY NUISANCE
A Simple Remedy Which VIII In- | terest Catarrh Sufferers

In its earlier stages catarrh is more of . nuisance than Q menace to the general oealth, but sooner or later, the disease lextends to the throat, bronchial tubes and Oven to the stomach and intestines.
 Catarrh is essentially a disease of the mucous membrane, the local symptoms being profuse discharge of mucous. stop page of the nostrils. irritation in throat, causing coughing, sneezing, gagging and frequent clearings of the throat and head.
 The usual treatment by local touches, psnuffs. salves, etc., often gives temporary relief, but anything like a cure can only DC obtained by a treatment which re- moves the catarrhal taint from the blood and the disappearance of the inf1amma- lion from the mucous surfaces.
 A new remedy which meets these re- Quirements and which so far has been i remarkably successful in curing catarrh ts Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
 These tablets act upon the blood and mucous membranes only. They can hardly be called a secret patent medicine as they are composed of such valuable remedies as Blood root, Hydrastin. Red gum and similar cleansing antiseptics, which cure by eliminating from the blood and mucous surfaces the catarrhal poi- son.
 Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large. pleasant tasting lozenges taken internally, allowing them to dissolve slowly in the mouth, in this way they reach the thoat, xauces and the entire alimentary canal.
 If desired. they may also be dissolved m water and used as a douche, in addi- ton to the internal use, but it Is not at All necessary to use douche; few of them dissolved in the mouth daily will be sufficient. However, when there is much stoppage of the nose a douche . made from these tablets will give imme- oiate relief. but the regular daily use in- ternally of these tablets will cure the whole catarrhal trouble without resorting 20 the inconvenience of a douche.
 pr. Bement states that the internal treatment for catarrh is rapidly taking the place of the old plan of touching and l local application and further says that probably the best and certainly the safest remedy at present on the market is Stu arts Catarrh Tablets. as no secret is made of their composition and all the really efficient remedies for catarrh are contained in this tablet
