PASSING OF
Only Ones Along the Missouri Are to
Be Found on Government
Reservations.

The giant cottonwood trees
which once stood as great white.
limbed sentinels along the Mis-
souri, river throughout all that sec
ton have come to be a thing of the
past. Such is the report made by
one of the owners of the steamer
Moline of Kansas City, Mo, WHO'S
doing contract work along the
stream and has been looking 70,
big cottonwood trunks to be used
as piling in river construction
work.
He found that the only trees of.
tits sort along either bank of the
Missouri river, for 80 miles either
way from Leayenworth, were in
the government reservation of
1000 acres on the Missouri bank
of the river just opposite Fort
LeaVenw0rth.
When the first settlements be.
gan to grow up along the river IN
Kansas and western Missouri the
banks were p.imeval forests OF
willow and sycamore and walnut.
with many oaks, but, greatest OF
all, the giant cottonwood trees.
Many of these old trees were more
than 100 feet tall, with trunks thar
not infrequently measured five
and six feet in diameter.
They seemed at once the boon
and bugbear of the man who
cleared his lot and put up his cab
in; the one because of the immense
amount of labor it took to bring
one to the ground, and the other
because of the fine, lasting build
ms lumber which it yielded. MANY
OF the first residences and bust
ness houses Of Leavenworth were
constructed mainly of planks and
beams sawed from these great
cottonwood logs. In many of the
old houses the cottonwood lumber
can be found to this day; thou
sands of feet of it have gone into
the construction of the new fed.

practically exhausted.

They feel mean. out of sorts, peevish. do not sIeep well, do not have good keen ap- petite, do not have the inclination and energy for physical or mental work they once had, but at the same time do not feel any particular pain or distress in the stomach. Yet all this is the re- suit of poor digestion, an insidious form of Dyspepsia which can only be cured by a remedy specially intended to cure it and make the digestive or
 gans act naturally, and properly di-
 gest the food eaten. Bitters, after din- ner pills and nerve tonics will never help the trouble: they don't reach 1t, The new medical discovery does. 1t is called stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and is a specific for dyspepsia and indi- gestion.
