 "The psoriasis first made it's appear snce in red spots, generally forming a circle, leaving in the center aspOt about the size of 8 silver dollar of sound flesh. In short time the affected circle would form a heavy dry scale of Q white silvery appearance and would gradually drop of. To remove the entire scales by bathing or using oil to soften them the flesh would be perfectly raw, and light discharge of bloody substance would ooze out. That scaly crust would form again in twenty-four hours. It was worse on my arms and limbs, al- though it was in spots all over my body, also on my scalp. If l let the scales remain too long without remov- ing by bath or otherwise, the skin would crack and bleed. suffered intense itching. worse at nights after getting warm in bed, or blood warm By exercise, when it would be almost unbearable.

 The most eminent physician can not prescribe a better preparation for collie and diarrhoea, both for children and adults. The uniform success of this remedy has shown 1t to be superior to all others. It never fails, and when reduced with water and sweetened, is pleasant to take. Every family should be supplied!with it.

Sointioa Cured After Twentyl Year
 ot Torture

For more then twenty years MT. J. B. Massey, of 3322 Clinton st. Minneapolis. Miun., was tortured by sctatica. The pain and suffering which he endured during this time is beyond cOmprehen- sion. Nothing gave him any perman- ent relief until he used Chamberlain's Pain Balm. One application of that liniment relieved the pain aud made sleep and rest possible and less than one bottle has effected a permanent cure. MT. Massey related his experience for the benefit of others who may be similarly afflicted. If troubled with sciatic or rheumatism why not try a 25-cent bottle of Pain Balm and see for yourself how quickly it relieves the path. For slle by Wm' Britt.

A Cheerful Face.
(The HOmestead.)

Next to the sunlight OF heaven
is a cheerful face. There is no
mistaking it, The bright eye,
the unclouded brow, the sunny
smile-all tell of that which
dwells within. Who has not felt
it's electrifying influence? One
glance at his face lifts us out of
the mists and shadows into the
beautiful realms of hope. One
cheerful household will keep
everything warm and light with
in. 1t may be a very plain face,
but there is something in it
we feel, yet cannot express, and
it's CHEEKY smile sends the blood
dancing through our veins for
very joy. All, there is a world
of magic in the plain, cheerful
face, and we would not exchange
it for all the soulless beauty that
ever graced the fairest from or
earth.

Justice of these, there is much
difference of opinion. Mr.. Ross
certainly gave the settlers a
straightforward talk at their
meeting in Burley on Thursday
last. He talked tearlessly and
we must admit consistently. He
answered all questions frankly
and while it was evident that
his hearers were opposed in their
feelings to his record as they had
understood it, yet they gave
most respectful attention.
Whether the people have been
wronged or not, they are GER
tainly in a tight place and they
deserve sympathy. Mr.. Ross
evidently does not deal Ill this
commodity. His bearing and
attitude are those of a cold
blooded official, and his cynical
smile is enough ofitself to arouse
most bitter antagonism. There
may be times when it is proper tc
say II told you so" or "you put
your own head in, now get il
out" but it would seem to us
that to face such an audience as
that at Burley on Thursday last

After some discussion this was
agreed upon and Messrs Riblett,
Rohrbach and Craner were nam
ed.
Questions were aske d but the
people got no further satisfaction,
Mr. Ross maintained that the
service was doing all they could
and would continue to do So
But that making promises OF
becoming interested in any
particular part of the tract was
outside of their business. The
gentleman was rendered vote 0

their all, and it looks now, as II
they had lost.
While we do not feel at liberty
to discuss just now the wisdom
Oh unwisdom of the filings and
risks on the Minidoka project
we do feel justified in saying that
foolhardiness characterizes The
American people, and that atthe
merest suggestion they will run
hither and thither in great hordes
to secure the wealth of some new
ly discovered mining district or
to get located on some choice
reservation land or newly dis
covered arabic lands. To GER
tain extent we are a wild i'm
pulsive people. We have an in
satiable thirst for gain and do
not hesitate at all to risk our
lives and our all in greedy desires
for quick returns. 1t is a gen
eral aud a true principle that we
get what we work for. All rules
have exceptions and so it is with
this one. Once in a while we see
some one that has gotten some
thing for nothing but to every
such one we may count ten who
have signally failed in their wild
ventures.

fully 800 settlers met in the

ed that Mr. Ross purposed

him to be present, and gave the

masse.
Mr. L H. Sweetser was made
chairman and E. G. Barber was
chosen secretary. 1t became the
duty of Mr. Frank Riblett to
introduce the distinguished gentle
man. Mr. Ross gave the audience
oneof his sweetest grins, and ia
cetiously explained that he took
his position directly in front OF

take down all that he said. He
reminded the audience, also, that
he is a constant reader OF the
Burley Bulletin. He began by
stating that he presumed his

himexplain away their difficulties
but that unfortunately, he was
unable to do so. With this re-
mark, the ever present hope. van
quished from the poor home
steaders heart, and he patiently,
sorrowfully, listened to his
doom.
Mr. Ross explained that no deve
lopment work ever undertaken
so completely touched human
interests as that of irrigation;
that men must precede irrigation
and this precedence usually in
wolves sacrifices and hardships;
that the reclamation service had
absolutely no personal interests
in settlement and that the settle
ment was made upon the settlers
own responsibility; frequently
without any Investigations; that
three years ago when the prelim-
mary arrangements for the reel
amation of the lands were made
that there was not a living soul
upon them, and that within the
past years the people had spread
all over them and without in
quiry.
He then went on to explain tht
work of the reclamation engineer:
the construction of the dam ant
gravity system, and also th'
plan for the establishment o

STOCK CONDITIONS IN GRANT.
Resume of Situation Taken From the
John Day News.

stock Inspector George Irwin was
over from Monument the last of the
week. having come into this section
by way of Dayville. After looking into
the situation in the John Day valley,
and Middle Fork countries Mr.. Irwin
is able to give a good report of stock
conditions generally.
Speaking of the season and the way
in which the stock has come through
so far, Mr.. Irwin thinks that 1t has
been a long time since feeding was
carried on so successfully as during
this winter. With stock strong and
looking well and late range in the
mountains good, the feeding season
was well begun. An unusual supply
of hay and fine, dry weather for feed
ing 1t, feeding was bountiful and sue
cessful. The result is, practically no
losses.
In regard to disease, the inspector
has found but one band so far that is
infected with scabbies. The range has
been kept clean, and 1t is not expected
that the disease will cut much of a
figure In the coming summer grazing.
Mr.. Irwin thinks that grass prospects
are unusually good. Ranges were not
so badly overstocked last season, and
