Governor TooIe Under Charges.

Great Falls, Mont, July 28,-On
account of charges made in connec-
ton with state timber land in the
Flathead Valley district, an investi-
CATION has been in progress at Kalis-
pel before Governor Norris, the Land
Board and Ex-Governor TOole, who
was a member of the board when
the sales under investigation were
made. The charges are to the effect
that the commission favored the big
land companies by selling to them
through dummies valuable timber
land for less than they were worth.
Several witnesses testified that dunn
my names were used.
The charges involve Ex-Governor
Toole, Attorney Galen and
others. F. II. Prodger asserted on
the stand that Superintendent Nc
Crea, of the Northwestern Lumber
Company, had told him that the rea-
son certain patents had been held up
was because members of the state
hoard could not agree on division
of the Doodle; that Governor Toole
insisted ION having twice as much
as any other member
Mr.. Toole emphatically denied the
charges made by Prodger, as did Mr..
Galen. Secretary of State Yoder and
SUPERINTENDENT Harmon. Mr.. NC
Crea also denied having made any
such remark to ProdGsT.

PULIMAN'S LOW DEATH RECORD

PULL MANS LOW DEATH RECORD
During the last year Pullman has
made a record of which it may Justly
be proud, in maintaining health condi-
lions which have cut down the death
rate to 3.5 per thousand inhabitants.
This figure is given in the report of
City Health Officer Russell for the IL
months ending July q. In the entire
year there were but 25 deaths reported
by Pullman physicians, of which only
IL occurred in the city. The low death
rate is accredited to the pure drinking
water supplied by the IA artesian wells
in the city and from which all water
used in Pullman is derived. While
many other cities and towns of the
Inland Empire are announcing low
death rates it remained for the college
town to establish low record for this
section. Spokesman Review.

FOR A "REASONABLE" LOCAL
OPTION LAW.

Lest there be undue quibbling with
regard to the meaning of what "rea-
sonable local option" is, the Anti-sa-
loon League is calling two state con-
ventions of all the temperance forces
of the state for the purpose of decid-
ing upon the form of the local option
bill which the people want presented
to the next session of the legislature.
These conventions will be held respec-
lively in Spokane August 4th, and in
Seattle on August 5th.
These meetings are for the purpose
of ascertaining just VIVA the people of
the state of Washington demand in the
way of temperance legislation. Each
Good Government Club, Civic League,
Law and Order society or other organ
lzation looking to the betterment of
moral conditions is invited to send a
delege. Each Grange init he state is
also invited to send a delegate. In
this way it is anticipated that such a
Dill shall be determined upon as shall
best represent the wishes of those OPP
posed to the liquor traffic. 1t is not
the intention that the exact drafting
OF the bill shall take place at the con-
Vention. This will be left to a com
mlttee of those who have been inter
ested in the passge of local option bills
IN the past and lawyers whose ability
cannot be questioned. The conven-
0ons, however, will determine upon
'he general features of the bill, such
as The amount of territory to cover

incorporated city, or the county, OF

LARGE LEVEE GIVES WAY.
Damage to Farm Lands on San Joa-
quin Estimated at $4,000.

Antioch, Cal, July 2S.-About
zoe feet of the San Joaquin river
leyee gave way on the fertile Jersey
Island tract located east of here,
flooding the entire island comprising
nearly 1000 acres. The loss will be
about $4,000, and falls principally
upon the Jersey Island Company, al.
though there are many small farm
ers, who hold leases, that will lose
everything, as their crops were all
practically ready to harvest.
The Jersey Island Company hid
100 acres of the finest celery in the
river section, estimated at 5000 car
loads, that would have been ready
to harvest in about two months.
There was also 500 acres of potatoes
and other vegetables, Nothing win
be saved
Besides this direct loss all the
bitches used for draining the land
will be ruined. Also thousands OF
young celery plants. 1t was intended

Grosscup Calls Decision Fin


Washington, ID. C.-The President
in commenting on the Standard Oil
decision said:
There is absolutely no question
of the guilt of the defendants or of
the exceptionally grave character OF
the offense. 1t would be "A gross
miscarriage of justice, if through
technicalities the defendant escaped
the punishment which would unques-
tionably have been melted out to any
weaker defendant who had been
guilty of such offense."
Judge Peter S. Grosscup, of Chi
cago. one of the three judges who
reversed the action of Judge Lands
in 1ning the Standard Oil Company
$2S, 900, declared that the de-
cision of the Circuit Court of APP
peals was practically final. The judge
then said that neither the Attorney
General nor any one else had any
right to demand a retrial of the
case. Continuing he said:
All that can be done is to apply
to the United States Supreme Court
for permission to reopen the case. 1t
is not meet that l should enter into a
discussion with the President. The
President comes into court with no
greater and no less privilege than is
accorded to any other private citizen.
His powers are simply those of any
defeated litiganJ."

Why Colds Are DANGEROUS.

Because you have contracted ordi-
nary colds and recovered from them
sthout treatment of any kind, do not
moment imagine hat colds are
not dangerous. Everyone knows that
pneumonia and chronic catarrh have
their origin in common cold. Con-
sumption is not caused by a cold but
the cold prepares the system for the
reception and development of the
germs that would not otherwise have
found Judgment. 1t is the same with
all infectious diseases. Diphtheria,
scarlet fever, measles and whooping
cough are much more likely to be con-
tracted when the child has cold.
You will see from this that more real
danger turks in cold than in any
tother of the common ailments. The
easiest and quickest way to cure a
cold is to take Chambeflain's Cough
Remedy. The many remarkable cures
effected by this preparation have made
it staple article of trade over a large
part of the world. For sale by al
