TIE CUTTING
Not SO Injurious as People Imagine
Tracts can be Cut Over Every
Fifteen Years.

Andrew Olson the general man
ager of the Carbon Timber Co ,
came over from Elk Mountain last
week. Mr.. Olson is II of the
nominees for the house of repre-.
sentatiyes on the republican ticket.
He is one of the most upright.
substantial men in the country.
and, if elected, will give good SER
vice to the people in that capac-
ity.
In conversation with Mr.. Olson
relative to tie chopping, he said:
1--WE are now cutting ties ON
government land on Douglas
creek. There were about two
townships of timber destroyed by
fire there two years ago, and we
have succeeded in making arrange

whereby We r to cut the timber

Punctured.

G. W. Woolsey and l.. 6. Ster-
rett had a dispute Tuesday after.
noon at the ranch of Condict Bros.
on Brush creek, which came near
ending fatally for Sterrett.
The trouble arose over an &C
count which Sterrett claimed was
due him from Woolsey. The two
men had had a dispute several
days previous, and when Sterrett
stoppedat Condict's Tuesday, where
Woolsey is employed, the alterca-
ton was renewed and ended in a
physical encounter, in which Ster-
rett was stabbed
The trouble happened about

bleeding profusely, was taken to
the house of his brother Frank.
and a phone sent to this place for
DIR. Price and Deputy Sheriff Sis.

From DIR. Price it is is learned
that Sterrett was stabbed three
times with the small blade of n
pocket knife, puncturing the low
er end OF the right lung. DR..
Price sealed the wound and Ster-
rett lis resting easily. While he
lost a great deal of blood, the
chances for his recovery are good
unless unexpected complications
should set in.

FUNERAL OF ELI LEE.
Impressive Services Conducted by the
Masonic Fraternity Saturday
Afternoon.

The funeral ceremonies over the
remains of Eli Lee, which took
place here last Saturday, were
most impressive and attended by
"A large concourse of people. The
occasion was one of deep feeling
on the part of everyone present,
for few men are so widely known
and esteemed as was the deceased,
aud people from all over the valley
tlocked to the town to show their
sympathy and respect.
A Lodge of Sorrow" was held
by the Masonic fraternity here be-
fore the remains were taken to the
Episcopal church, where Rev.
Watson delivered a short and
deeply impressive sermon. 1.-The
great goodness of heart, the up
right and spotless character of the
man were dwelt upon in a most
touching manner.
The ceremonies at the grave
were conducted by the Masons
and the remains were consigned
to their last resting place with
every mark of love and apprecia-
ton that was possible.
Few men have left any commun-
ity so universally esteemed and
appreciated as the deceased, and
the memory of his life will remain
with this community like the re-
membrance of a pleasant dream.

"Of course we use all of the tree

"Of course we use all of the tree
in cutting on government land,
and then pile the brush. There
was not such a terrible destruction
of timber during that fire on Doug
las creek as m would suppose.
The fire seemed to keep to the
high ridges where the timber was
short and scrubby, and left the
big bodies of timber untouched.
There is a great deal of misap-
prehension among the people in
regard to tie cutting. We take
only timber of a certain size for
ties, leaving the smaller and the
larger growth; the smaller to grow
on and the larger timber to be
used for lumber. After a tract has
had the tie timber cut from it, it
will in the course of fifteen years,
yield as many more ties as it did
in the first place. Trees must have
AIR and light, and it is really a
benefit to the forest to have the
timber thinned out, as it gives the
balance a chance to grow.
"Over on the Medicine Bow riv-
er there is a tract of tie timber
that Coe 4 Carter cut over 30
years ago, and it has been cut over
regularlarlyever fifteen years since
and today you can hardly tell it
from any other tract of timber on
the mountains"

Osborne after he was elected COVER
nor in 1892. The indecent haste to
possess the office without the formal
ity of waiting for the votes to be can
vassed, brought him into serious
trouble. He forcibly entered the cap
itol and landed in the outer room of
the executive chambers where he was
met by r. H. Repath, the private
secretary of Governor Barber, who
barred his further progress. Osborne
tried to get into the next room but
the secretary stood in his way and
the two men encountered each other
in a rough and tumble manner Re-
path proved to be the ablest athlete
and threw his adversary to the floor
and held him in that post ion by sit
ing on his head for two hours and IA
half. The newly elected governor
while in this undignified and uncom-
Portable position swore, pleaded and
begged by turns but the loyalty of
the secretary to the state induced him
to hold the intruder a prisoner until
someone should come and take charge
of him. DR.. Osborne solemnly prom.
ised not to atterhpt further entrance
into the executive chambers and was
allowed to get mp. His explanation
of his conduct was that Tom Pdtter
son, his Denver lawyer, had instruct
ed him to thus take possession of the
office. In due time under the law,
the vote of the different counties was
~canvassed and in January Osborne
became governor in fact. 1t is need
less to say the new governor became
the laughing stock, not only of the
people of bob parties in hi- own
state, but in other states. The news
papers cartooned him to the limit but
this was only the commencement of
his public career. In Il few days after

Scourgo Of the Amazon.

It is not a pleasure to live in the
wild regions along the banks Of the
River Amazon. The Indians Of that
region all suffer martyrdom from the
mosquitoes. Nobody in even the worst
mosquito regions Of the United States
can imagine what the mosquitoes Of
the Amazon region are like. They ac-
tually drive the Indians, hardened as
they are, from their Villages at times.
The people drag their women and chill
dren into woods and uplands on such
occasions, fleeing in headlong terror,
and they do not ventureback to their
homes, until daylight.
Smudges and other similar means
for fighting the pest are of no use in
the Amazon country when the mosqui-
toes sally forth for might out" They
appear then in such hordes that the
masses force themselves through smoke
and even fire.

West Pembroke, Me-, March 21st.-
Mrs. A. L. Smith, Of this place, says
that Dodds Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for growing girls. Mrs. Smith
emphasizes her recommendation by the
following experience:
"My daughter was thirteen years old
last November and it is now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last week and
would then pass OF. In month she
would have the spells again. At these
times she would eat very little and was
very yellow, even the whites Of her
eyes would be yellow.
1.-THE doctors gave US no encourage
ment; they all said they could not help
her After taking one box Of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, she has not had one bad
spell. Of course, we continued the
treatment until she had used in all
about dozen boxes, and we still give
them to her occasionally, when she is
not feeling well. Dodd's Kidney Pills
are certainly the best medicine FOR
growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice of
Mrs. Smith, for by SO doing they may
save their daughters much pain and
sickness and ensure healthy, happy
future for them.

This was sad reminder that we nc

began to think I had about seen my
best days. One day about 3 years ago
I had an opportunity to try Grape
Nuts food for my breakfast. liked it
SO we'll that I ate three teaspoonfuls
three times day and have regularly
used it UP to the present time, and I
now weigh 155, a gain of SO pounds,
and enjoy the best Of health.
.'Not only has Grape-Nuts made this
wonderful change In me, but through
it I have helped my friends, relatives
and patients. The sustaining power of
this food is simply wonderful.
II have one patient who is section
hand on the G. s. O. r. r., who eats
nothing in the morning but four table
spooalfuls Of Grape-Nuts and yet does
his very hard work up to lunch time
and enjoys the best Of health and
strength.

like this and I still prescribe Grape
Nuts in my practice every day." Name

were permitted to go over his farm and
when their inspection was done to each

how do you like it," the farmer said
when they had all drained their glasses.
