 Regarding Mr. Cooper and His Medicines.

rheumatism, my stomach does not bother me any, and l have a good appetite-can eat anything I want. 1 am feeling better than I have for years. 1 want to say right here, this is the greateet medicine I ever heard ot. You may use my name for I want others who are troubled in the same way to be relieved as I have been."
 Another caller was Mir. w. B. Stewart, 1O9 West Madison street, who said:
 'I have had stomach trouble for years, and any one who is afflicted in this way knows an awful distressed feeling 1t causes. Many time I have felt that I would give most any price to be cured. It was by accident that l heard of this man Cooper's reme. dles. I immediately made up my mind to buy treatment of him. 1 have been using 1t about two weeks and 1t is impossible to tell how much good it has done me. 1 feel altogether different; I have more life and energy than I have had for years. This medicine certainly does stimulate and strengthen the whole system. The tired feeling and weak con ditiou af the stomach has entire |ly passed away. I feel well again."
 Mir. Cooper said, in speaking of the matter: "It usually takes from three to five weeks for peo- pie to feel the effects of medicine in such cases. 1 will have nun. dreds during the remainder of my stay in this city call and thank me for what the medicine has done for them III cases of catarrah, stomach trouble, rheumatism and nervousness. I am always glad to shake hand with persons who have been restored to good health. If there is anything that we should appreciate in this life it is good health"

FREE MAIL DELIVERY.
A Move to Secure It for the City of
 Mena This Spring.

A move Is being made to secure free mail delivery this coming April. The U. s. postal year ends March 31, and if the past years receipts show S10,000 we will be in order for an examin ation by U. s. postal inspector The receipts for each quarter have shown an increase over the proceeding quarter and If this last quarter comes up to the mark of the past increase the amount will be sufficient to demand such in. spection.
 The city council, realizing the necessity of having the street names properly posted and tho houses of the city properly mum bered before such inspection was called, passed an ordinance at a recent meeting to have this work done.
 E. K. Bryant was assigned this job and he or his assistant, Dhot Baker, will call upon you within the next few days and leave you card showing the correct num- Der of your house. At the same time they will show you a sample of number that may be used and if you so desire will take your order for the same. They are also gathering information for city directory which will be published as soon as the number ing is completed. If you want your name in this city directory besure and give it to them when they call.

Since the announcement last week that they had secured the local agency for the famous Coop CT Remedies, the Davis Drug Co.,, has been beseiged with inquiries regarding the celebrated MT. Cooper and the work he is now doing in Chicago. In response to the expressed desire of many per sons for more news regarding this remarkable young man and his medicine, the following is taken from a recent issue of the Chicago Journal:
 "Still more cases are heard from, and the continued stream of humanity poured into the Pub- lie Drug Co.,, 150 State street, yesterday in search for the re- markable new discovery of medi- cine. The demand for these remedies seem to grow larger each day. Thousands of Chicagoans who have suffered for years with chronic stomach trouble, catarrh and rheumatism are being made
 
 happy every day by the use of this peculiar remedy sold by MT. Cooper.
 "An hour or so spent at the Cooper headquarters would con- vince the most skeptical person that this new treatment is some thing entirely different from any thing else ever sold. As usual, Mir. Cooper was busy all day re- ceiving kind words and thanks from the hundreds who had been entirely cured by this simple pre- paration'"
 Mir. John Schwirtzen, living at 563 Fifth avenue, had the follow ing to say:
 II have had rheumatism for several years, sick at the stomach, felt tired and dull most of the time. 1 have tried everything l ever heard of in the way of medi- cine and found practically no re- lief. l was advised to try Coop CTS New Medicine. 1 did so, and the result is I am relieved of

F. M. REEVES RETURNS HOME.
Is We'll Pleased With Prospects of
 of Mines in Colorado.


 F. NJ. Reeves arrived home Friday afteenoon from Colo rado, where he has been for the past three months looking after mining property which he owns with $. Browning, former Mena citizen, who now lives at Canyon City. Mir. Reeves comes back quite hopeful, and is sure they have valuable property and would have sold or leased at handsome figures before this time had it not been for the financial trouble, which has had a bad effect on Colorado mining.
 With Mir. Browning he owns four claims in the heart of the Hardscrabble district, with pay ing mines all around them. This location is at present attracting more attention than any other in the Colorado mining district. Mir. Reeves reports that Mir. Browning is dolng we'll, but that Mrs. Browning is anxious to re turn to Mena.
 While there Mir. Reeves met Dr. and Mrs. Preston, former residents of Mena. The doctor owns mining property at Silver Cliffs near the Reeyes-Browning claims and is making a fortune He recently purchased an $S,000 home on Capital Hill in Denver, where they are now making their home.

BENEFITS OF OUR
 NATIONAL FORESTS
Important Questions Answered Which Will Give an Idea of the New Conditions and the Proposed Benefits From the Governments Control of the Forests That
 Have Been Set Aside in This Section.

forests every year, but the cut tings do not damage the forests, as the lumberlng operations are so carefully conducted that the stand is left in first class condi- tion for a second crop and any number of future crops. By wise use, 1t is expected that the timber crop will be made perpetual, and it's quality is improving by en- couraging new and better growth of the most useful kinds of trees.
 The government always tries to see that there shall be enough | timber and wood reserved for the use Of the home builder, the miner, the small millman and the stockman. If local needs promise to be great enough to consume it all, no timber is allowed to be shipped out of the country. The forests are open to stock man on the payment of a small grazing fee. In alloting the range the local owners are con- sidered first, the small owners be- ing given the preference.
 Forest Officers as Game Wardens. The forest officers. it is said, are often appointed as state game wardens to protect the game un- der the state laws. As conse- quence game IS abundant and well looked after in the government forests.
 Instructions as to how 10 pro ceed to secure tim Der or wood from the forests or to secure tue use of the land for various pur- poses are given in the book pub lished by MT. Pinchot, and copy can be secured by addressing him. The supervisor is authorized to grant permits for the use of the lands for stores, hotels, residences and similar purposes. To get the free use of timber and wood a permit must be secured from the nearest ranger. la purchasing timber, arrangements may be made with the ranger if the amount does not exceed $50. If more than that amount of ma terial is desired. the matter must be arranged with the supervisor. Permits to graze livestock on the range may also be secured from the supervisor.
 Rangers Lot a Rough One. The government needs men for its forests, but the rough life of the ranger is such that only those who have been accustomed to outdoor life in the West are capable of filling the places. The ranger must be able to care for himself and his horses under try ing conditions; must know how 70 build trails and cabins; must be able to ride all day and all night, pack and shoot aud fight fire without losing his head. He must know a great deal about the timber of his territory and how to estimate 1t, he must be familiar with numbering and the sawmill business, the handling of live stock, mining and the land laws. For a man who can fulfill all these qualifications the govern ment pays salaries ranging from 5000 to S1, 500 per year.
