Is one OF the worst defects that can

not be patient, they are extremely

little control of their temper. The
very seat of reason is undermined
and the patient and often the doctors
are at loss to locate the cause. The
trouble is often brought on by small
defects of the eyes being neglected, by
using the eyes for close work when
the body is weak and sick, by fevers
and severe cases of measles.
Reflex action of muscular imbal-
ance of the eyes are: Severe head

aIcCRACKEN ON LOCAL OPTION.

McCRACKEN ON LOCAL OPTION.
Editor of the Statesman: In Sun
days issue of August. 8. there APP
peared an editorial under the cap
ton, Local Option in Boise" In
that editorial you say that under our
present laws I'VE seem to have the
very thing that Is being so vigorously
demanded. namely, local option"
Now let us see IL the local option
people really have what they are con-
tending for. There is law which
has been upon the statute books of
this state since 1898, and which en-
titles any city. town or village coun-
ell to prohibit the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors within its limits. Under
this statute. the voter who desires to
express his wishes upon the question
as to whether or not intoxicating
liquors may be sold within his home
town must take chances upon the
action of some few men who may
hold similar views to his own and
who may not. The recent efforts
made by the people of American
Falls to exercise their option under
this law affords us an illustration of
how easily the wishes OF the people
of any town within this state may
be set aide by council which is not
bound by law to regard their wish
les. even when expressed by ballot,
upon liquor questions.
Some months ago the people of
that town petitioned the council to
prohibit the sale Of intoxicating IL
duors within its limits. The petit
ton was signed by a large majority
of the inhabitants Of that place The
council, composed Of five men, said
to the people:
1--WE will hold an election SO that
you may express your wishes upon
this question, II majority say No
saloons, we will refuse to grant any
more licenses"

Brother Of Charley Sweeney Buys
Heavy IN Crackerjack Stock.
APPEARS A HEN IS ON
Great Things are Expected
There This Summer.

Grangeville Free Press: From time
to time during the past month the Free
Press has intimated TO its readers that
big deal in Hump property was on.
The property we had in mind was the
Crackerjack and now we are able to d.
vulge considerable information which is
the best news Idaho county and Grange
vile has had for some time. It's this
The Sweeney's and eastern parties are
after the Crackerjack. Who will get
the property we do not know. When
Charley Sweeny closed down his Big
Buffalo property and stated there was
nothing to the Hump, those who were
familiar with the camp understood the
game Sweeny had other property he
was working and did not need to open
the Hump holdings, Things have
changed now and with the Crackerjack
and Big Buffalo under one ownership,
development work could be rushed and
the largest camp in the west opened up
and made producer>in short time.
Charley Sweeny, who has made mill
ions in the mines Of Idaho, is brother
of Mike Sweeny, who has paid several
visits to this city and the Hump during
the past six weeks. Tuesday he ar
rived and made deal whereby he came
in possession of mortgage of consider
able of an amount on the Crackerjack.
He has been quietly purchasing stock
and making an effort to get control OF
the mine. However as a majority OF
the stock is held by combination OF
Grangeville and Lewiston people and as
the property is being negotiated for by
eastern people, it is doubtful if Sweeny
can get control without paying some
where in the neighborhood of what the
stock is worth.
James Eldridge, who represents the
parties from the east, is the present
manager of the Concord, another valu-
able property in that district and it is
surmised the owners of that property
are the real prospective purchasers he
represents. The price being asked is II
the neighborhood of $75, 900 and there
is no inclination on the part of the
stockholders to sacrifice their holdings
