The News desires the outside
world to know that Canyon City
is a much better town for business
than its one newspaper, the News,
would indicate. We have big
stocks of wagons and buggies,
farm implements, windmills and
piping, hardware, wire, coal and
grain and almost everything else
kept in a good town. All these
things are here and they sell too,
right along. A few days ago our So
licitor started out to try to get an Ad
with one of our business men when
he, the business man, stated that
he had all the trade he could ham
die and didn't want any more, and
asked the question, why advertise
under such conditions? The News
man "kerflummuxed.' This may
explain why the advertising col
umns of the News fails to correct
ly index the business of the
town.

WANTED DONATIONS.

The time is rapidly approach
ing when our annual celebration
in June will be held, yet no steps
have been taken towards securing
provisions for the visiting delega-
tons of Sioux and Chippewas
from other reservations that will
be present to help us celebrate.
1t will take large quantity of
provision to feed these people,
and some Immediate steps should
be taken to secure these pro-
vision. In order to do this every
family on the reservation should
donate -four, vegetables or any
thing they may have to spare in
the line of edibIes. Although
there will probably be an unusual
ly large crowd Of visiting Indians,
we believe that the reservation
people can provide amply for
them without making any sacri-
fees.
We have always been opposed
to asking for aid from the towns
outside of the reservation to help
us in the matter of our celebra-
ton, and if we are unable to bear
the expense ourselves we should
not attempt to celebrate on such a
large scale. Whenever our white
neighbors wish to celebrate they
never call on us for any assistance,
and we should follow the example
set by them.

Miss Van Vert, who has been
employed at the Indian boarding
school at Red Lake, but who on
account of i'll health had to resign
her position, was enroute home to

explosion, and Miss Van Wert's
clothing caught on fire from the
burning oil, and she was badly and
very seriously burnt. Her con-
dition yesterday morning was
very serious.

The Court Of Indian Offenses was in

The most precious of all stones. ac-
cording to gem expert, is the Jade. on
account of its rarity, its extraordinary
qualities and the mystery of its cutting.
1t was regarded as a sacred stone. and
nobody had right to possess it except
a prince of imperial blood. Argerius
Clutius, famous physician in Amster-
dam at the time of the renaissance.
published a work on the jade, or ne
phritic stone as it was then called. on
account of its action on the renal sys-
ten. At the same period Italian au-
thors spoke of the jade as Osiada and
discussed its wonderful powers for
healing sciatica.
The legends surrounding this stone
abound in history. Good specimens Of
jade are extremely rare, and the world
is at loss to know how the Chinese
managed to cut it, because it is so ex-
tremely hard that nothing can make an
impression upon it.
Smyrna times., 1903-02-18
The First Linen Pnner.

Linen cloth was occasionally used
for writing purposes, but was never
very common. Linen manuscripts have
beeu found folded in mummy cases,
and the Chinese before the invention of
paper used silk and cotton cloth. The
Romans also wrote upon linen. The
use of this material introduced a change
in the manner Of writing. The other
substances were rather engraved than
written upon, an iron point being used
for the purpose.
To write upon linen it was necessary
to have some colOred fluid which might
get dry and leave permanent mark
The first ink used was probably some
sort Of SCOT or lampblack mixed with
size or gum water, and the first instru-
ment answering to our pen was a reed.

Long and short Hair.

Pranche says: Long hair was the
distinguishing characteristic Of the
TeutOnic tribes. 1t was a mark Of the
highest rank among the Franks, none
Of whom but the first nobility and
princes of the blood was permitted to
wear it in flowing ringlets, an express
law commanding the people to cut their
hair close around the middle Of the
forehead" And this badge of servitude
and sign manual Of plebeianism in one
century has become the essence Of style
and glass of fashion in another, the
freak of one age, the fancy Of another.

"DOn't " Know
How | Got
Such a Cold"

Most of us have heard this ex-
preston many times.
Did you ever notice that the
Don't know how | got it cold
is a bad one to get over? That
before you are through with the
hoarseness, the cough, the eight
feeling, the general discomfort.
and the out of sorts sensations,
you are apt to have another such
cold, and so on until it hangs on
for weeks?
These colds mean that your svs-
tenn is out of gear. They usually
precede serious diseases like con
sumption, bronchitis. They are
dangerous.
We have found a remedy for all
sorts of colds, coughs, that is not
a so-called cough-cure. 1t does
not stupcfy with opium, nor fill
the system with vicious drugs
It is Vinol We are perfectly
willing to tell any inquirers at our
store what it is made of and how
we came to take hold of it.
1t certainly does the work. Old
coughs go off like magic. 1t even
relieves people far gone in con-
sumption. People right in town
have proved it. We sell it subject
to guarantee money back if it
doesn't help you. Isn't it foolish
to put the matter off?
