STATE LAW is EVADED
IN SALE OF DRUGS

Druggists in this state must COM
ply strictly with the law regarding
the compounding of medicines and
handling poisons, according to an
edict issued from the state depart
ment of agriculture. No one is to be
permitted to fill prescriptions or sell
dangerous physic of any character ex-
cept those who have licenses from
the state board of pharmacy. DR.. T.
A. Cheatham who was recently ap-
pointed state drug inspector to en-
force the pure food and drugs act
as it relates to medicines, reports
that he has found many cases in
which the law is not followed Drug
gists often empty youths and permit
them to fill prescriptions under the
proprietor's license, which is in
conflict with the law

Cows Pay Better Than Wheat.

When IL good milk cows pay as
much as 16O acres of the famous
Palouse country land, it is time
for the farmers of this vicinity
to take heed of the dairy indus
try. J. D. Carson, the we'll
known dairyman who resides
three miles north of Pullmsn, re-
ports that ten milch cows and
two young heifers brought in
1885 in less than a year. A
neighbor Of his who farms only
wheat estimates that his farm
will bring him but little over
$1,000 for the year. Besides the
income from the cows, Mr.. Car
son had nearly $1,000 worth of
baled timothy hay to turn off,
and with a few good colts, cal
yes and other products, bring his
gross receipts from 160 acres of
land we'll up to $250O or $4,000 as
against the $1,000 brought in by
the wheat raising. .-Uniontown

Get A New Passenger Train.

A new passenger train was
put into service on the Vollmer
line Sunday and will no doubt
continue to operate until such
time as the service can be ex-
tended across the prairie to
Grangeville. The train put into
service Sunday will operate sew
en- days out Of the week and will
leave Lewiston at 8 o'clock in
the morning and reach Vollmer
at Ii. Returning, it will leave
Vollmer at lib and reach Lewis
ton at 4:15, stopping at Spalding
to transfer passengers to the
Spokane bound train.
The new service is a great i'm
provement over the old one and
is highly appreciated by all of
the residents of Nezperce and
Camas prairies. By the change
the mail now reaches this place
on the afternoon of the same
day it leaves Lewiston, whereas
before the stage did not arrive
here until midnight or later and
then had to leave again for Voll-
mer at 5 o'clock in the morning.
1t is believed by many that as
soon as the railroad reaches this
place the passenger service will
be extended to include Cotton
wood also, which will be great
convenience to the residents of
this side Of the prairie.

for the inside finishing of the build
ing and has already purchased
from John Hoene the lumber for
the job. With two brick buildings

An exceptionally heavy rain Wis
tied this section Monday and con-
tinued throughout the day, thor
oughly wetting up the surface of
the ground and proving generally
agreeable to everyone. While it
stopped work here in town that

couple days the enforced rest was
not unwelcome and the benift de-
rived from the settling of the dust
and clearing mp of the atmosphere
more than offset any damage done
by the rain to grain in field or
stack. Now that the storm is past
it is quite likely that good weather
will ensue for the next month or
more.
