The girl lying in the dark turned

adapted to the dairy, stock, fruit
and hay interests. There are
comprised in it over six thousand
acres of fine, well watered range
and wheat land. There are eight
thousand dollars ($8,000) worth
of new buildings, and a small
orchard. There is a complete irri-
cation system for the alfalfa

tenn for the buildings. Thirty

above sea level. There is an
abundance of water for irrigation

ton, the best fruit, hay, stock or

Dunira Ranch For Sale.

This time it is another great ranch
that is to be sold and another oppor-
tunity for some enterprising real
estate man or heavy rancher to make
a fortune. Donald Urquhart, the presi-
dent of a Spokane bank and also the
principal stakeholder in the bank of
Wilson Creek, has decided to retire
and has placed his great Dunira ranch
on the market for quick sale.
This follows quickly on the heels
of the announcement that the great
Hazelwood ranch is to be sold and
almost simultaneously with the widely
heralded statement that the Methow
Valley Cattle company will break up
it's great range on which thousands
of cattle have been reared, exported
and shipped.
Here are three great ranches, the
Hazelwood, at Spokane; the Dunira,
at Wilson Creek, in Douglas county,

ADVERTISING
Following the Advertising Man.

Every morning when l come into
the office and see a stack of letters
from subscribers of The Ranch, each
enclosing from fifty cents to a dol
lar or dollar and half for the privi-
lege of reading this farm paper, | feel
the significance of the managers
statement that this paper is published
for the benefit of the reader-pri-
marily at all times to look out for his
interests Then / get to thinking
again, and 1 know that the subscrip-
ton money alone would not begin to
take care of the expense attached to
publishing. OF course then l feel that
mine is the all important department
because l dig up the extra necessary
money.
Now, anyone would think that COM
ing off farm, as 1 do; having done
everything connected with a large
farm from running a harvesting ma
chine down to milking the COWS, that
l ought to feel that l had a large,
easy proposition on my hands. But
l find troubles here just as I did on
the farm. Very naturally the first
place I headed for was the commits
sion men whom I had always sup
posed were glad to see the farmer.
Imagine my surprise when l called
on a poultry commission house the
other day, to have him tell me frank
ly that he did not believe in advertis-
ing because it did not reach the peo-
pie with whom he wanted to get in
touch. "Why! how Is that?" | re-
piled. "Our circulation is almost en-
tirely among the farmers" That's
Just it; we don't want the farmers to
ship us direct" replied Mr.. Perry.
"And why?" I asked. Because" said
Mr. Perry, "they are not business
men; and not being business men,
they are always suspicious. l would
rather deal with the country merchant
who buys from the farmer and let him
ship to me-"
Now | am in quandary. l think
Perry Bros. are reliable and that The
Ranch would be warranted in carry
ing their advertising. [ talked with
Burch Bros. and they said that they
we're glad indeed to have the farmers
ship to them direct and would be glad
to do all in their power to assist the
farmer in the way of offering sugges-
tions as to how to ship poultry to Sc
cure the greatest profits. Then l
asked Mr.. Horton of A. H. Horton &
Co., 1920 Post street, how he felt about
the farmer shipping him direct.
Sure" he says, 81 want all the farm
ers 1 can get to ship me direct-Why
that enables both the farmer and me
to cut out one middle-man's profit.
Certainly 1 want the farmer to snip
me direct and I would like to send
him my market letter so that ne
could keep in touch with our market
all the time"

The readers Of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dread disease that science has been
able to cure in all it's stages, and that
is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease requires a consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the founda-
ton of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in doing
it's work. The proprietors have so much
faith in it's curative powers that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of

famed Methow valley. This is ;
splendid sign and SHOWS what pros
perity is visited on men who sticl
closely to business and farm theil
properties properly and profitably.
The owner of the Dunira ranch ha:
made a fortune out of the place. He
began with a homestead of 100 acre:
and out of that he has earned enough
profit to add, and add, to his holdings
until now his property is measured
by the thousands of acres, all of which
he offers for sale to whomsoever will
buy it. And it is offered on terms
of one-tenth down and the balance

ing.
The owner desires to rid himself
of the care and responsibility of sc
vast an estate and desires to retire

Ascot Park Bettors Protest
Against Starter Holman
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

LOS ANGELES. Jan. 30.-Nearly an
inch of rain fell last night and today
and as a result the track at Ascot Park
was heavy. Three selling races. two
purses and a mile handicap made up
the card. The greatest interest CEN
tered in the handicap, which was the
fourth race. Starter Hoffman came in
for severe criticism because of the
manner in which he sent the horses
away in the handicap. When he re-
turned to the grandStand the crowd
In the betting ring hooted and Kissed
him and made such a demonstration
that the police interfered. During the
rest Of the day Hoffman remained out
side the crowd. A formal protest
against the manner in which Hoffman
does his work has been prepared and
will be filed with the Jockey Club Of
hcials. What the effect will be can
not be predicted.
The San Francisco call., 1907-01-31

The card for today at Emeryville is
anything but promising from a form
standpoint, form being utterly deficient.
The best-looking race on the card is
the opener, four-furlong dash for
maiden two-year- -olds. in which the
Hildreth. Keeae and Griffin stables will
each be represented by two entries. 1t
is a toss-up which will finish in front
and racing luck will play an important
part in the outcome.
Mecbant should win the second, a
five and half furlong sprint for three
year-olds. Calmar looks to be the
contender. Seven Bells has been run
ming in better company and may prove
troublesome
Tenordale's last race was an i'm
provement over her previous efforts
and may forecast her defeat of the very
ordinary lot with which she has been
entered for the third at one and an
eighth miles. There is so little form
to the field that 1t would not be sur
prising If anything won, however
George p. McNear has been running in
sprints and may not go the route. Rey
Dare had speed his last out. Sinner
Simon is improving.
Pickaway looks best in the fourth
but is a Very erratic and uncertain
performer. Monaco Maid and Duelist
appear to be the most likely contend
ers.
Yo San and David Boland should
fight it out in the fifth. Jake Ward is
likely to be keen contender for a
place in the money. Judge can never
be guessed and I'm Joe is also an in
consistent performer.
The horses that will run in the sixth
have shown pothing and it is largely
a guess which one will win.
