Revokes a License.-Mayor Olson
has revoked the saloon license issued
to Fred Helgren. The mayor holds
that the saloon, which is located in
the Arlington hotel building and for
which the license was issued, is the
property of Ed Ward and not of Fred
Helgren, hence he revoked the license
The mayor, after talking with Ed
Ward, became convinced that Ward
owned the saloon, and therefore the
license should not be issued to Fred
Helgren. Some months ago Ed Ward
had trouble with one of the officers
when he was operating the saloon at
Sixteenth street and Second avenue,
and after numerous quarrels and fights
in which the police were forced to in
terfere. the mayor revoked his license,
and evidently does not propose to
grant him another saloon license, as
his place of business was always the
scene of some trouble.

this case:
Mrs. Charles Burns of 1104 Twelfth
street, Rock Island, Ill. says, Il was
troubled with severe kidney complaint
for some years. The pains across my
back and loinS were so severe that |
kcould not stoop or lift any thing, and
finally became so severe that | had to
give up my household duties. During
the night | was forced to get up many
times on account of the too frequent
passage of the kidney secretions which
| could not control, and this together
with the continual pains left me in Il
very worn out condition in the morn
ing. I was rapidly losing weight. My
appetite had left me and | was COM
| pletely discouraged. The remedies |
tried did not give me any relief and ali
my doctor bills were simply wastei
| money. A friend told me about Doan :;
Kidney Pills, and l sent to the Harper
| House pharmacy and procured box
! and took them according to directions.
In few days felt relief. The pains
| left me and / could sleep well at
| nights. l took three boxes of Doan' )
Kidney Pills and was then completely
cured and have not had any form of
| kidney trouble since Doan's Kidney

THE HOGAN TO
OPERATE AGAIN
Crooked River Company to Be
Reorganieed and Mine
Worked Soon.

Someone apparently in position to
know has given the Spokesman-Review
the particulars and object of the meet
ing of the stockholders of the Crooked
River Mining & Milling company which
will be held in the company's Office in
Orogrande on May 1st. According to
information given, the plan is to create
a new corporation with capitalization
of 900, 900 shares of the par value of SIS,
in lieu of the present corporation with
capitalization of 1,500, 600 shares, and
to transfer the holdings of the present
company to the new corporation. The
stock in the new company is to be ex-
changed for stock in the old on the
basis of one SIS share of the new stock
for five 81 shares of the old.
The directors of the company declare
that they have unbounded confidence in
the value of the property and believe
that under the contemplated adjustment
means will be found for placing the
property on a sound financial basis
which they believe will result in the
successful operation of the mine.
The company is the owner of the
property formerly known as the Hogan,
which has been heavy producer Of
gold. There is huge dyke of ore
which is simply quarried down and ther
conveyed to the mill, large one having
been erected on the property. 1t is one
of the best known mines in centra
Idaho.
