ROMESEEKERS BEWAREi

The attention of the homeseekers
now touring the Brownsville coun-
try is respectfully begged for a
moment, for the purpose of warn
ing them against the knockers who
are persistently trying to persuade
them that the country around
Brownsville is not as good as that
IL other sections. Every man who
tells homeseekers such thing is
merely doing so because he is in
xerested in selling them lands else
where. Anyone who SAYS that
land around Brownsville is full of
.aikali and will turn sour under ir-
x1gation. or anything else of a
similar nature derogatory to the
lands in this vicinity is simply
selling an untruth, and the home
seekers should be shrewd enough
60 see through his motives. The
truth is that the land around
Brownsville, and in fact all along
she river in Cameron county is
equal to the best on earth. No
6uer farming land can be found
anywhere. There are sugar farms
eight miles below Brownsville that
have been cultivated with irriga-
ton for over thirty years, yielding
The finest sugar produced anywhere
year in and year out without ces-
sation. Some of the choicest If
rigated farms in this entire section
lie right here in the very heart of
the Brownsville country. Home
seekers should see for themselves,
and not be misled by the loud mouth |
ed knockers, who are deceiving them |
about this section because they
have no land here for sale, and !
want to sell them land at some
other place. See for yourself. Mr..
Honeseeker!

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
DEAFNESS is caused by an inhamed CON.
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is infam'
ed you have rumbling sound or inper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh
that cannot be cured by Halls, Catarrh

WRECK

cial to the Miner from Great Falls

mighty ordered him to do so, a crazed
sheepherder, whose name cannot be
learned, derailed passenger train No.
3 on the Great Northern at Toide
station, II miles east of Havre, Sun
day morning, causing the death of
the fireman and slightly injuring a
number of passengers.
The train was going 80 miles per
hour. When within SO yards OF a
switch the engineer saw man throw
the switch, the light changing from
white to red. He instantly applied
the air, but a moment later the en-
CINE, mail, baggage car and smoker
were mass of twisted and broken
wreckage.
When the passengers issued from
the cars remaining on the track they
found the demented sheepherder sit
ting beside the switch standing
calmly surveying the wreck. He
volunteered the information he
wrecked the train because "God AL
mighty told me to do it, He was
sent to Havre on relief train and
is now in Jail there.

GREEN REPORTS ON
BOOZE SALE
TO REDS

John w. Green, SPECIAL agent of
the Indian office to assist in the sup
preston of the liquor traffic with
the Indians, has submitted his an
nual report to the commissioners for
the year ending June 80 last.
Green did not begin his work I'M
til after January LIST, and the first
section he visited was Washington
and Idaho. Immediately upon his
entering the state of Washington he
found that almost all the Indians
were allotted, and that under a de-
cision of the federal court an allot-
ted Indian is citizen so far as the
liquor traffic Is concerned, and can,
therefore, buy all the fire water he
wants, without interference.
Green wasn't satisfied with this,
however, so he began to work on an
other tack. He interviewed the
county commissioners of many of the
counties where there were Indians,
and secured their cooperation to the
extent of having them refuse to re-
new the licenses Of saloon keepers
whose chief trade was with the In
dams. He says the county commits
sioners of Yakima county granted all
his requests along that line, and that
the city council of North Yakima
passed an ordinance to put stop to
the liquor traffic with Indians.
The county commissioners of Ket-
tie Falls refused to renew the license
of w. D. Wilbert Of Clifford, on his
request, and the commissioners at
Conconully did the same with the IT.
cense of Joe Mcdonald. The COM
missioners of Wenatchee, Cashmere,
Tekoa and many other towns have
also taken up the question of the
liquor traffic with indians and will
take steps to put stop to it, under
the provisions Of the state law.
Green obtained the indictment Of
violators of the federal law in Idaho,
and their trials will come off at the
September term of the federal court.
Green says that he hopes to reduce
the traffic 20 minimum within
short time, and promises that there
will be no 1etup in his activities in
that direction.

whiskey and barrel of wine were
discovered on the premises.
The proprietors were arrested I'M

That the practice of Greameries

Recently some controversy arose in

means of ifaniiing' the staple desir--
ing to escef tain the possibilities.
1t is sta,ed that M both cities Il
number of firms handle regularly a
large qualNfty OF butter made in 9th

and with the announcements that 1t
is butter made in Tacoma or Seattle,
as the case may be. In order to de-
terhtne the legality of this, a letter
was sent TO Mr. Davies, asking his
opinion in the Mates. and an an
swer has been rel eived in which he
gives the opinion THAT such a course
is not allowable uader the law. He
states that one concern may have

use the labet on butter made at one
place and designating it as being
made in another, but under such 4
system only.
