MAKE 1T YOURSELF.

Tells Our Readers How to Mix Best
rheumatism Cure.
A well known authority on rheuma-
.tism gives the readers of a large
New York daily paper the following
valuable, yet simple and harmless.
prescription, which any one a easily
prepare at home:
Fluid extract %dandelion, one-half
ounce; compound kargon, one ounce;
compound syrup sa%rsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in a bottle, and
take a teaspoonful after each meal
and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy at small cost, and, be
ing of vegetable extraction, are harm
less to take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken reg
.ularly for a few days, is said to over
come almost any case Of rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, if any, dimin-
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in
juring the stomach. While there are
many so-called rheumatism remedies,
patent medicines, ETC., some Of which
do give relief, few really give perman-
ent results, and the above will, no
doubt, be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of this
neighborhood ELECTS the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately, or the druggists
here will mix the prescription for our
readers, if asked to.

ing no longer is the zhaphazard soccu-
patton It once was, but Ii more and.
more becoming an exact science, re-
curing a high standard OF intelli-

1T was a good day for Billings

attention. What is being done IN the

done here. Speak to some Of the per-
SONS who are familiar with conditions
in eastern Washington as they now
exist and as they existed some years
ago. They will tell you that the err
roneously called dry land farming is
not to be passed up as a dream of the
theorizer and sentimentalist. It is
established and It's value has been
proved beyond all cavil or doubt"

SAUNDERS DISTURBED
Northern Pacific Officers Make Raid
on Sand Houss-Too Much Woe for
the Judge-Many Given Opportunity

Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
Beardless youths, frouzy-haired and
unshaven men of all sizes, ages and
nationalities faced Judge Mann in po-
lice court yesterday morning and an
swered charges Of vagrancy preferred
by the officers. The cause of this
gathering vas the fact that the spe-
cial officers of the Northern Pacific in
this city rounded up the vags in the
local yards and locked them in the
city Jail.
The slumbers of most of the pris-
oners were rudely disturbed about
midnight Tuesday night when the
Northern Pacific sand house was
raided. Here the men were found
sleeping on the hot sand which was
being dried by the huge oven used
for this purpose and were on the way
to the police station before half of
them realized that it was a regular
pinch"
1t is probable that all of them had
hard luck stories to tell, but after
Judge Mann had listened to a half
dozen or more, he was SO moved that
he was unable to listen to any more
woe, and dispensed with that feature
of the program for the time being.

Smaller Tracts-Government Land
Adjacent to Much Of IL.

From Thursdays Daily.
That the Lake basin lands are be-
ing placed on the market and colonized
in q way that assures their early set
tlement is evidenced BY the fact that
already one syndicate which has j
large tract Of the Thomas land to
sell, has opened an office III this city
and It Is understood that others Will
do likewise in the near future.
J. 3. Gallivan, a member Of a land
syndicate owning 10000 acres Of the
agricultural lands in the Thomas tract
has opened an office III the Babcock
block in this city, for the purpose Of
selling this land In tracts varying from
16O to 1000 acres.
N. Gallivan and his associates will
have colonists brought to Billings ev-
cry two weeks from Iowa, Minnesota
and other states in that section Of the
country for the purpose ofs inspecting
the land. Colonization agents in the
employ Of the syndicate are advertise
ing the lands throughout the east and
the prospective settlers avail them
selves Of the homeseekers, rates to
Billings granted by the Northern Pa
ciic and which are effective the first
and third Tuesdays in each month.
Demand for Land.
MI. Gallivan stated yesterday that
much Of the land in the Thomas tract
had been classified and that more
than 95 per cent of It is agricultural
land. Half Of the tract, controlled BY
himself and associates, is as level al
a table. The greater part of this tract
lies just north Of Park City.
Adjacent to many Of the smaller
tracts are tracts Of government land
which may be h~omesteaded by set
tiers. This in itself is quite an In
ducement to homeseekers.
The land is being retailed in small
tracts at from So to $3.50 an acre on
easy payments and that It is in de-
mand is evidenced by the number Of
land seekers that have fockeds into
Billings during the past few weeks.

BOOSTERS TO MAKE
MEDICINE TONIGHT
MEETING OF THE $4,000 CLUB" AT
CITY HALL.

From Thursdays Daily.
Indications are that tonight's meet
ing of the boosters to be held at the
city hall will be we'll attended. Or
g%anization of the "25, 900 club will be
perfected, the report Of the executive
committee on the dollar dinner will
be heard and matters of vital import
ance to Billings will be discussed.
Among the things which will be dis
cussed is the movement for holding a
carnival in Billings this summer I'M
der the auspices of the club and the
chamber Of commerce and 1t is prob
able that committees will be appoint
ed and plans made to make the en-
tertatnment one of the greatest af-
fairs Of Its kind aver held in this sec
ton of the state.
In the event such a carnival is
held, Billings has much local talent to
draw on to furnish amusement. There
are three vaudeville and animated pic
ture show houses in the city, the Sec
ond Regiment band and scores Of 9TH
er attractions to occupy booths on
the carnival grounds. With these and
the travelling attractions that may be
engaged, those who are supporting
the movement are confident that a
street fair and carnival such as has
never before haan sann In tho cifv non
be produced.
Another feature of tonight's meet
ing will be the announcement of a
proposition, which 1t is said, If carried
out will mean much to the city. No
hint OF what this proposition Is has
been given out, those who will make
1t rather ~preferring to bring 1t up for
the first time tonight.
