FEEBLE OLD LADY
Has Strength Restored By
 Vinol

Mrs. Michael Bloom. of Lewistown. Pa, who is 80 years of age, says: For a long time have been so feeble that I have had to be wheeled around in an invalid's chair. had no strength and took cold at the slightest provo cation, which invariably settled on my lungs, and a cough would result. My son learned of the cod liver prepara- tion called vinol. and procured a bot tie for me. It built up my strength rapidly, and after taking three bot ties I am able to do most of my work and I can walk a quarter of a mile easily Every aged or weak person who requires strength should try Vi- mol. I am delighted with what 1t has done for me-"
 As a body builder and strength erea- tor for old people. delicate children, weak, run n-down persons, and after sickness, Vinol is unexcelled. If it fails to give satisfaction we will re- fund your money. E. O. Fowler, Druggist, Montgomery.

COMMITTEES WORK
FINANCE COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL
 IS RUSHED.
Matter of Removing Fruit Stands from Sidewalks Under Consideration --Ieasen for Water Front
 Also Being Discussed.

Because of the mass of work that is accommodating on the several com mittees of the City Council. it is prob able an extra session win be called this week. One subject that is schec- uled to come up Is the matter of nov ing all fruit stands off the streets. At mittee, this matter was discussed at some length, and the committeeman came to the conclusion it would be best for the interests of the city at large to have the sidewalks cleared.
 The soon to be enforced prohibition law will cause some hundred stores of the city to be unoccupied, and with the falling off in rents for stores follow ing this. the Finance Committee be- Heve the fruiterers will be able to do better business indoors than out, and it will save the sidewalks from being eneumbered as at present.
 Just what action the Council will take on the recomnne endation remains to be seen, but the general sentiment man episode seems to indicate that the fruit stands will so.
 The Finance Committee will also re- commend at the next session Of Coun- cil the granting of lease on the city property. adjoining the site Of the pro posed municipal wharf. to tee com pany being formed to manufacture concrete tiles and pipes. Attorney w. L. Martin, who has charge of that end of the new concerns affairs appeared before the Finance Committee, to whom the matter had been referred when Alderman Parrish some time ago introduced a petition in Council for the granting of the privilege. and ask ed the committee to advocate the grant ing of the lease. and it is understood the committee will report favorably on the matter.
 It has not yet been given out who the promoters of the new concern are, but it is said the majority of stock is controlled locally. Tentative plans mentioned by Mir. Martin at the meet ing referred to the plant as something

that win add greatiy to the city's man ufacturing strength.
 With such a plant in existence at Birmingham and plans being formed for the construction of one at Mobile the majority Of the material for use being furnished from Alabama mines. the fact that Montgomery should get It's share of the business was strongly brought out. and pressure wili De brought on the Council to grant the lease.
 Another business enterprise that was unoficially mentioned at the Finance Committee meeting was that prop osition is on foot for the forming of a company to erect and operate q grain Elevator at the river side. the matter having been suggested to several local business men by the rapidly growing interest in the cultivation of grain Tn the state of which area Montgomery is the logical business headquaFters.
 At the meeting of the Finance Com mittee, several real estate men appear ed to discuss with the Aldermen their licenses and try to have the same re- duced. This matter. 1t is believed, will stay put. at least until after the great revising of the licenses schedule which Is being considered for next month.
 Not only has the Finance Committee been rushed Of late, but the others have had equally as much work to do, and the Aldermen will be more than busy for the next month.
 Among the Aldermen wrestling with the problem of raising sufficient rev- enue to keep the city going. the dis cussion of i dog tax has been often mentioned It is said by those inter ested that if the Capital City will take hold and push the matter, probably other communities will take 1t up and later the counties will catch the idea eventually making the matter state wide question. in order to promote the sheep raising industry. But just now the main item of the question E money for Mortgonery, and 915 a year is un- derstood to be the license amount that will be charged.

BY vote Of five to five the city
council Monday night decided nothing
definitely concerning the water works
proposition.
VIM. j. Bowen's private OF, s-shin
was up for consideration, and to put
it to test vote Aid Spath moved to
reject the ordinance. The following
voted with Mr.. Spath on the PROPOSE
ton: Anderson, Botz, Hendrickson,
Smart The following voted against
the rejection of the ordinance-did 50,
as they explained afterwards, not so
much because they favored private
ownership, but because they did not
think at this time that the proposition
had received enough consideration to
warrant its rejection.
John Ehr, a former alderman and
wealthy citizen of Minot, has placed
a proposition before the council that
has caused good deal of comment.
Mr.. Ehr offers to build an up.to-date
plant for the city and let the city
operate it paying him a rental ct
twelve per cent on the original cost
of the plant.

erty owners were present at Monday

Portal Mystery
Attracting Attention
Claim is Made that High Mccullough and Samuel Porter
Are One and the Same.--Did Mccullough Disguise
Himself and File on Two Claims

Are High J. Mccullough and Sam
uel H. Porter, Portal farmers, one and
the same person? That is what is
believed by many Of the neighbors of
Mr.. Porter, who is now holding down
a homestead joining the one which
Mr.. Mccullough proved up several
years ago.
Mccullough filed on quarter of
fine land near Portal ip 1900 and lived
there three years. He was a married
man but had no Children. At that time
Mccullough had long, bushy whisk-
ers and wore his hair long. No one
was able to get very good look at
his face. He did not mingle much
with his neighbors. He proved up on
the quarter of land in the fall of 1903
and moved away.
In the fall of 1903, shortly after
Mccullough made his proof, Samuel
H. Porter, clean-shaved, short-haired
man filed On the adjoining quarter of
land. The man was married and had
no children. His hair was cut tight
to his head with clippers and has
been kept cut short ever since. The
man Porter, had bought the adjoining
claim from Mccullough, who moved
out of the country according to his
story, and who cannot be found at
this time. The neighbors noticed that

Inc neighborS Tor some time have
thought that there was niger in
the fence, but not until recently was
Porter's claim contested. Chas. Finn
brought a contest against the quarter
and it was in this case that an effort
was made to show that Porter was
none other than Mccullough in dis
guise.
In the trial an Iowa witness ap.
peared to show that Porter was in
Iowa at the time that Mccullough
proved up on his land. The matter is
being investigated very closely. 1t
may be that Porter can prove that he
is not Mccullough, yet the case in
most interesting, and will be watched
closely to the end.
