In 1872 there was great deal Of
diarrhoea, dysentary and cholera in
fantum. 1t was at this time that Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy was first brought into use. 1t
proved more successful than any other
remedy or treatment, and has for thirty
five years maintained that record. From
small beginning it's sale and use has
extended to every part of the United
and to MANY foreign countries. Nine
druggists out of ten will recommend it
when their opinion is asked, although
they have other medicines that pay
them greater profit. 1t can always be
depended upon, even in the most severe
and dangerous cases. For sale by f. E.

SUGGESTIONS to Fruit Growers

would like at this time to make
a few suggestions to the fruit grow
ers, which, if needed, will prove
very beneficial to the yourg trees,
as we'll as to insure a better grade
of fruit. ::
Do not neglect your spraying.
Try and kill your insects this year,
and also protect yourself for the
next by heavy and thorough spray
ing rext spring. In order to get
good, even. we'll colored fruit, you
must thin out, leaving only one
apple in a place and thin enough
so that the tree will bear it's own
load. Do not let the young
trees bear heavy; better not
at all. If you have an old dis
eased, shaggy tree that is doing no
good, cut it out and burn it up. 1t
is also bad practice to leave your
old prunings lying about all sum-
mer, and from one year to another.
Burn them. C. w. DossETT,
County Horticultural Inspector.

Track to Be Safe

The Great Northern Railway
Company is now working on one OF
the biggest improvements it has
ever undertaken on the western
end of the system, the reballasting
and laying of new 95-pound steel
on the main line from Velour,
Mont to Hillyard, Wash. a di, :
lance of 1872 miles.
The new rails are replacing e8
and 773 pound steel laid at the
time the road was first constructed.
The whole undertaking will cost
at least $1,50O,OOO. The expense
OF the steel alone will come near
the million dollar mark.
The work will, it is expected, be
completed about the middle of
September, and the company will
then be operating over the new and
heavier steel practically all the way
from Velour to the coast, new
rails having been laid Oh the line
west of Spokane last season. 1t is
intended to eventually have the
heavier steel on the whole main
line.

Patronize the Home Merchant

From time to time the home
merchant finds just cause for COM
plant when he finds that custo-
mer has been buying goods OF the
out-of.town catalogue houses or
from travelling itinerants whose
business it is to put up good line
of talk. The reasons for patroniz-
ing the home merchant are numer-
Gus and they are good ones. The
merchants in Newport carry the
best of stocks, they are enterprising
in bringing them to the attention
of the public, and in cases where
they do not carry in stock the ex-
act article desired they can order
to just as good advantage as the
individual. The home merchant
pays taxes in his community; he
paws the local drayman for hauling
his goods; he patronizes the brother
business man who is not in the
same line of business; he subscribes
to local improvements; he helps
the community in which he resides
The outside merchant brings moth.
ing into the town, but he does take
out from it money which should
remain in the community and
with the local merchant who il
assisting to build up his commun
ity.
The community which prosper
is the one that is loyal to its owr
people. If you are earning you
money here you should spend i
here, and help thus to build up tn
city to greater and better things.

SprinedaIe Business District Burned

The business portion of Spring.
dale was completely destroyed by
fire Thursday about noon, entail.
ing loss that will probably reach
the $l25,OOO mark. and of that
amount less than one-ffth was
covered by insurance.
Fire started in the smoke house
of the Stevens County Meat Co.
about 10 minutes before IL m. and
in about one and one-half hours
from the time the blaze first an.
peared all that is now burned was
in flames.
The fire when discovered could
have been placed under control had
the water system been efficient. for
there were men on the scene an
instant after the fire started. The
storage reservoir consisted of two
small wooden tanks situated on
the hill across Sheep creek, from
which the water was obtained bv
means of hydraulic ram. For
more than week the system had
been out of order and the tanks
nearly empty, which they were on
this occasion, as the supply did
. not last over ten minutes. and
while it did last the force was so
weak that it had no effect on the
fire.
The fire was finally stopped by
dynamiting a two-story lodging
house, which prevented it from
crossing the street to the ONLY re.
naming store in the town. This
store, a blacksmith shop and a.
livery stable are the only business
buildings in the town that escaped
the fire. Several residences and
and the town bridge across Sheen
creek were also burned

ing went with the rest but Editor
Burrows will at once resume bns;.
ness, as will several other of the
larger business firms. The loss to
the town is such that it will take q
long time to recover from it, and it
is doubtful whether all the business
men can resume, as the insurance
is small in proportion to the loss
sustained.
