Use Coal Fer Fuel in Crock County.

If contemplated plans of the Hay
Creek Coal Mine company are not
forestalled by unforeseen accidents,
Prinevillle's offices and stores will
burn coal this winter instead Of juni-
per cordwood. If these plans can be
carried out, Hay Creek coal mines
will be a Godsend to the people of
this city, as coal is always preferable
to wood for office fuel.
The matter of quality of the coal
has already been settled. The hay
Creek coal is so much like the Rock
Springs, Wyo., product that the two
cannot be told apart except by an ex-
pert, the seams being exactly the same
even tn the small stratum of anthra-
cite at the base of each vein. The
Hay Creek seam Is true bitumjnous,
of very clean texture and about
three feet in thickness. The company
has drifted a l60-foot tunnel under
meath the vein, tapping the same l6O
feet from the cropping, and drifting
an extension OF 100 feet, following the
vein this time, is now under way. A
large bunker has been competed on
the ground in which several tons are
constantly kept for local delivery.
Farmers come from many miles round
to pay SO per ton of coal at the mines
and then haul it themselves to their
homes for their parlol use. -Review.

Must Notify Land Office.

The lands are claimed by the North

where the settler does not notify the

hardship on some who are away at
work in the harvest fields and who
will not receive their notices In time

of various government and private lr-
rigation projects being ultimately
completed. These men during har'

Trust to Nature.

A great many Americans, both men
and women, are thin, pale and puny, with
poor circulation, because they have Ill
treated their stomachs by hasty eating
or too much eating, by consuming alco-
holic beverages, or by too close conhne-
ment to home, office or factory, and IN
consequence the stomach must be treated
in q natural way before they can rectity
their earlier mistakes. The muscles in
many such people, in fact in every weary,
thin and thin blooded person, do their
work with great difficulty. AS result
fatigue comes early, is extreme and lasts
long The demand for nutritive aid Is
ahead OF the supply. To insure perfect
health every tissue, bone, nerve and
muscle should take from the blood GER
tain materials and return to IT certain
others. 1t is necessary TO prepare the
stomach for the work OF taking up from
the food what is necessary TO make good,
rich, red blood. We must go 10 Nature
for the remedy. There were certain
roots known TO the Indians Of this
country before the advent of the whites
which later came TO the knowledge OF
the settlers and which are now growing
rapidly In professional favor for the cure
of obstinate stomach and liver troubles.
These are found TO be safe and yet GER
tain in their cleansing and lnVlgoratlng
enect upon the stomach, liver anu Uloou'
These are: Golden Seal root, Queens
root, Stone root, Bloodroot, Mandrake
root. Then there Is Black Cherry bark.
The medicinal principles residing In these
native roots when extracted with glyc-
crime as a solvent make the most reliable
and efficient stomach tonic and liver in
vigorator, when combined in Just the
right proportions, as in DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. Where there
is bankrupt vitality such as nervous
exhaustion, bad nutrition and thin
blood, the body acquires vigor and the
nerves, blood and all the tissues feel tho
favorable effect OF this sovereign remedy.
Although some physicians have been
aware OF the high medicinal value OF the
above mentioned plants, yet few have
used pure glycerine as solvent and
usually the doctors prescriptions called
for the ingredients in varying amounts,

The UGolden Medical Discovery Is q
scientific preparation compounded OF the
Elyceric extracts OF the above mentioned
vegetable ingredients and contains nc
