ITCHING HUMOR

lone day we noticed that our little
boy was all broken out with itching
sores. We FIRST noticed it on his little
hands. His hands were not 9ass bad
then, and we didn't think anything
serious would result. But the next day
we heard Of the Cuticura Remedies being
so good for itching sores, etc., that l
thought would get them. By this
time the disease had spread all over his
body, and his hands were nothing but
q solid mass Of this itching disease. I
went to the drug store and purchased
a box Of Cuticura Soap and one box Of
Cuticura Ointment, and that night l
stripped my little boy and took the
Cuticura Soap and lukewarm water and
washed him well. Then l dried him
with a soft bath towel, and took the
Cuticura Ointment and rubbed him
thoroughly with it. / did this every
evening before put him to bed and in
three or four nights he was entirely
cured. You have my permission to

question but that the building of the
Snake river dam, if it does not interfere
with navigation, will be a decided fac
tor in developing a big section of
country in the Columbia river basin
and it is only fair that those who put
their money into an enterprise of this
kind receive fair returns on their in
vestment, yet to give away for all time
to come, the very thing that makes
these returns possible. is out of the
question There is every reason to
believe that if the Benton Water COM
pany or its assigns. build the dam and
carry out their plans already formu-
lated, to furnish power to a vast sec
ton of country, and reclaim large bod
les of now worthless land. that within
20 years, every dollar that is put into
the enterprise will be returned with in
terest. If the life of the franchise to be
given the water company is limited
to 90 years or even 80 years. it is safe
TO say that at the end of that time, the
dam and power plant will have earned
way and above the original cost. In
event the power thus generated be
given back to the government, the
water company loses nothing by the
transaction, except a very profitable
business, which has cost them moth
ing. as the original investment with
interest, has been returned, probably
MANIFOLD. In other words, the water
power company is leasing a vaIuab BILE
piece Of property of the government. to
be returned at a stated period. The
leasing Of property is being done every
day in many of the larger cities. A
snort time ago, H. L. Pittock manager
Of the Portland Oregonian, leased to
a Portland corporation, a valuable
piece of business property for a term of
80 years. The corporation will imme-
diately erect a business block on the
property. Mr.. Pittock receives a. good
round rental for his ground and the
leasing corporation estimates that the
returns from the building will pay the
yearly rent, provide a sinking fund to
pay for the cost of the building besides
good interest on any money the cor
poration has actually put into the en-
terprise The same principle on which
the Portland corporation works, applies
to the Benton Water company At the
end of SO years Mr.. Pittock or his heirs
have their property returned to them
and at the end of a stated number OF
years, Yet to be determined, the gov
eminent is given back it's power privi-

crop, that represents 1,392,76e trees.
Pears, plums, prunes and apricots fol-

states that the report is not COM

Practical fruit growers estimate that
with all the orchards and vineyards
now planted in full bearing the income
from the harvests would probably
reach $60,O0o,O 600 annually. And the
record for making new orchards Is
greater this year than ever before. In
every district where fruits have given
good returns the orchards have been
increased. New sections are being
cleared and put in condition for plant

everywhere. and the borders of irriga-

for homeseekers. The logged off lands
have given splendid results from or

Many of the pioneers thought it mol
advisable to devote land to fruit grow
ing. But with the coming Of the rail-
roads and irrigation canals, was intro
duced a new era in handling tine

section of the state is adapted to sue

fruits. The markets are everywhere

ment of orcharding has been wonder

lies in the future. This state promises

FLOATING BODIES
POINT TO MURDER

NEW YORK. June 20.-The dis
covery OF the bodies OF a woman and
man, floating in the waters about
Manhattan today. gave the police two
battling mysteries to solve. In eacn
case there was marks of violence,
leading to the suspicion that murder
had been done.
The body OF the woman. supposed
TO be Mary Flynn. about 80 years old,
formerly an employe at the Hotel
Gotham, Fifth-ave. and Fifty-fifth-st.,
had rope twisted tightly around the
chest and under the armpits. knotted
in the back. The woman's body was
found in two feet of water on Gibson S
beach. between Ninety second and
Ninety-third-sts. East river.
The patrolman had the body taken

The mans, body found was discov.

The head was badly crushed and the
left arm was almost severed at the
shoulder. The left leg was of at the
knee The body was nude with ths
exception OF a black laced shoe and Z

BRYAN MUST FIGHT
FOR POWER IN SOUTH

ATLANTA, Ca, June 20.--With
the Democratic state convention In
this city, next week. will come VIM.
j. Bryan's hardest fight to retain his
power in the south. The state Of
Georgia has always been looked upon
as the sponsor for the Nebraskan. its
delegation placing him In nomination
for the presidency In 1896.
On Tuesday the Democratic state
convention will be held. Already both
sides in the Bryan and Johnson fac
tions are lined up. with their respec-
tive agents making claims for victory.
The Democratic leaders in Georgia
entertain fond hopes OF converting
Georgia into the empire state of the
south. claiming that its democracy Is
free and untrammeled. The anti
Bryan forces are fighting hard that an
uninstructed delegation might be sent
to Denver. This Is their strongest
hope In their fight upon Organism.
However. friends OF Mr. Bryan con-
tend that this hope is not sign of
antagonism, at all. but simply the
spirit Of Independence In the hearts
