Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition. hearing will be de-

are caused by Catarrh, which is moth

Blue Rock Shooting.
At the first tournament for the
merchandise shoot Mr.. Shealor from
Sutter Greek tied William Hess of
Jackson IN a score of nine out of ten,
both winning the first prize.
Sheriff L. X. Norman, and MI.
Winters of lone made the only clean
score of the day, killing ten birds.
Frank Valvo, won the BOBBY prize,
getting all the goose eggs on the score
that's the reason there are no doves
this year.
Web Smith of the Kennedy mine
surprised his friends by his accuracy
of aim and the easy, gaceful way he
toyed with his new gun. He found
no trouble in getting 7 out of 10 of
the birds any old time.
Doctor Wilson of Jackson, inspired
with the prize of a strip of bacon,
maccaroni and cheese, bagged most
of the blue rocks he aimed at. He
was in good form.
Charlie VaIvo did some fancy shoot
ing that pleased the experts.
Dal Porta won the smallest bottle
of whiskey in the merchandise shoot,
but its quality is said to be as fine
as his aim.
Charles E. Fourmer of Sutter Greek
only shot one score, but he only lost
one bird.
1t is said that some of the best wing
shots in Amador county we're not at
the tournament. But it was freely
opined that if six of the best men
in the county would attend the next
state shoot they would probably win
the state prize. The shooting was
very good, and took much interest.
Better arrangements for keeping the
score, supplying the blue rocks, and
cartridges would have made better
showing all around.

uished himself, by calling out the

The appearance of the city
from the railroad depot is about
as far removed from the attrac-
tive as Carrie Nation is from the
beautiful. Up town, the side
walks and public improvements,
the business blocks and beauti-
full residences are the admira-
tion of all visitors. But the
stranger passing through by
rail, who beholds the city from
the car window, will see pile
Of old rubbish and scrap iron
on the old mill site and a rear
building exhibition that would
certainly not impress him with
the classic beauty Of the city.
For about six months the council
has been talking about opening
up Railroad avenue, which would
relieve the barn yard appearance
Of that part Of the city very
much. Just now when the spring
travel is beginning, is the best
time in the year to show off the
city to strangers, and he should
see at it's best. The matter Of
opening the avenue should have
] been done long ago. but GER
Itainly it ought to have atten.
i ton at once.

A forcible illustrate on of til

A forcible illustrate on of the
increasing value of North Da-
kota land can be seen almost
any day at the local land office.
Contests are now nearly as COM
mon as final proofs. A few
years ago, a claim could be filed
on, a shack built that was no
more available as a residence
than the costume Of Cuban
urchin would be available as
clothing in a North Dakota win
ter. He could dig a hole by the
side Of a slough, and it answer:
ed the purpose of a we'll. The
other improvements required by
law were made in the same man
ner. The homesteader's contin-
uous residence upon the land
consisted of a bi-yearly stay Of
one night in his shack, and the
cooking and eating of a couple Of
meals. He made final proof un-
der these conditions, and became
a valuable citizen of the state.
Not so now. The homesteader
must not only comply with the
spirit of the law but the letter
as we'll. A hundred eyes are
upon every improved claim and
the moment there is the least
opening a contest is filed, and a
legal battle for the possession Of
the claim is fought, the expenses
Of which would have purchased
half a dozen quarters a few
years ago. The reason for this
is that the value Of land in this
state is just beginning to be
realized, and a quarter now is
worth a strenuous fight to- the
man who secures it.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE COUNTY AND
THE CITY OF DEVILS LAKE.
FRIDAY. MARCH "a, 1905

It is indeed regretable that the
financial condition of the state
is such that Governor Sarles has
found it, necessary to put the
pruning knife deep into the ap-
preparation bill of the deaf
school. Governor Sarles is too
intelligent, too patriotic, and
too broad to hamper this institu-
tion without serious reasons, and
his motives for so doing can not
be questioned. The necessity is
certainly to be regretted. Those
who know Superintendent Bangs
as the people of this city and
this county know him, under
stand that he does not go beg
ging for his institution. When
he needs anything he says so,
and goes about securing it in a
manly way. He never seeks
popularity nor plays to the gal
leries. When he asked for the
appropriation this year, he bas-
ed the amount on careful and
conservative business estimate.
He figured just as a business man
would in the conduct of his pri-
vste business. The appropria!
tion asked for, and which was
vetoed by the governor, was for
$22, 900 to he used in the con-
struction of domitories and
dining rooms for the school.
The present buildings are act
ually congested even with the
present attendance, while there
are large number of pupils in
the state entitled to admission,
who cannot possibly be accom-
modated. The other item Of $40,
900 which was vetoed, was for
the construction of a heating
plant, and Of course was contin-
gent on the building item, as the
one was worthless without the
other.
The several educational and
reformatory institutions are not
local concerns. They belong to
the people Of the whole state,
and should be dealt with on this
basis rather than as local political
concerns. This view makes criti.
cism of the amounts vetoed fol
the other institutions improper.
But it does seem that those OF
our citizens who are unfortunate
by design Of the Almighty,
should be provided for before
those who are unfortunate be-
cause of the devilish designs Of
their own. The needs of the
deaf school are pressing ones
and if d two years wait is neces
sary before funds can be procur
ed for it's enlargement to the de
naands made upon it, one Of The
most deserving class Of citizen,
il the state must pay the severe
penalty.
