Why Colds are Dangerous.

Because lou have contracted ordi-
nary colds and recovered from them
without treatment of any kind, do not
for a moment imagine that colds are
not dangerous. Everyone knows that
pneumonia and chronic catarrh have
their origin in common cold. Con-
sumption is not caused by cold but
the cold prepares the system for the
reception and development Of the
germs that would not otherwise have
found Judgement. 1t is the same with
all infectious diseases. Diphtheria,
scarlet fever, measles and whoopi.g
cough are much more likely to be con
tracted when the child has cold. You
will see from this that more real dan
ger turks in cold than in any other
of the common ailments. The easiest
and quickest way to cure a cold is
to take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
The many remarkable cures effected
by this preparation have made it
staple article of trade over large
part of the world. For sale by Wilkin-
son & Co. pharmacy and ]. F. Kied-

SIXTY MILLION
FEET OF LUMBER
Viii! be Cut in the Upper Palouse
Country South of Spokane
This FALL
[Gate City Special Service. ]


SPOKANE, Wash, Oct. 5.-Sixty
million feet will be cut in the upper
Palouse country, south of Spokane. by
the Potlatch Lumber company this
fall and coming winter. The company
operates the largest sawmill in the
world at Potlatch. Idaho, the capacity
being 350tuO feet day. T. T. Jones,
superintendent of the logging depart
aent, says this cut Is the largest In
the history or the district. Five hun
ed men will be employed in the log
ging camps, where donkey engines will
do the work of mules, formerly used
in hauling and loading logs. The de-
mand for lumber in the northwest is in
creasing rapidly, due to the Build
Now movement started by lumber
merchants in Spokane and in cities on
flget Sound some time ago, and it is
believed the winter season will be an
active one.

MAN IN A MILLION.

Pittsburg is pointing with pride
to the fact that she is the home
city of most remarkable man, of
the name of w. G. Park. Some
time back Mr.. Park was made re-
ceiver of steel company that
was financially embarrassed with
heavy liabilities. After winding
up the concerns affairs In very
able manner, Mr.. Park was told
by the court that he might have
as receivers fee for his services
the sum of $4,000. IT don't want
it," said Mr.. Park. Il am very
we'll fixed and do not need it.
Some of the creditors of the con-
Germ are poor and need all they can
get. Give it to them" And so it
occurs that this very handsome
fee will be- distributed among the
creditors. Naturally, Pittsburg
thinks that there isn't another
man like him in a million.-Sa-
vannah News.
1t is refreshing to find a man
who is not 'swlne." There are
not many men who would have re-
fused this fat fee, although ninety
nine out of every hundred would
have to admit that the fee was not
earned.
There is reform needed along the
line of large fees for bringing
money into court, handling receiv-
erships and bankrupt cases, etc.
Men are allowed large sums in the
way of graft.
The Pittsburg man should be put
in glass case and exhibited as
a curiosity.-Dub.ln Courler.Dis-
