To You.

This Association was organized in
the City Of london, Canada, in the
year 1895. Its members compose the
leading farmers and stockmen in Can
ada and the United States, prominent
citizens oflarge cities and towns, drug.
gists, physicians, and in fact every per-
son interested in domestic animals.
Among the few Of the many privi-
leges each member of this already
widely known Association receive are:
Reduced Prices in Medicine,

Experiments, New Discoveries,
New nventions, New Medicines
Research in Foreign Countries,

Combined knowledge centered
at one point and distributed to
its members. Besides the above.
each and every member receives a
Course of Instructions in the Veteri-
nary Business, which, for practical use
to a farmer or stockman, is worth more
than acourse in any Veterinary College
in America, which course would cost
a great many hundred dollars. Young
men can post themselves from the
Course of Instructions so as to be able
to perform operations and treat dis
eases equal to a veterinary surgeon.
AS stated above, every member re-
ceives a copy of the Course of Instruc-
lions as well as having the privilege of
reduced prices for medicines, free con.
sultation, the result of Experiments,
New Discoveries, New Medicines and
Research in Foreign Countries. Each
and every privilege is a very valuable

CUSRMAN TAKES HAND IN FIGHT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-With Rep
resentatiVe Cushman on the scene, the
contest over the receivership of the
Spokane land office promises to take
on new life and possibly be prolonged
we'll into the winter. Mr.. Cushman is
earnestly in favor of the retension of
the present register w. H. Ludden,
and has always demonstrated against
the appointment of Cole. He is very
much gratified at the refusal of Sec
rotary Hitchcock to consent to Coles
appointment, and called at the interi-
or department today to express his
approval to the secretary. Mr.. Cush-
man is the only member ofthe Wash
ingtOn delegation who is opposing
Coles appointment, but from now on
he can be counted an active ally Of the
secretary.
Representative Cushman called on
the president today to renew his COM
mendation that favorable mention be
made of Alaska in the forthcoming
message to congress. Mr.. CuShman
now believes that Alaska should have
two delegates in congress instead of
one, and is particularly anxious that
a liberal appropriation shall be made
government roads in Alaska.
