STREAMS TOO LOW
FOR GOOD OF FISH.

Yesterday Richard Tregoning, a To-

he declared he saw the fins of a big
trout as it made its way through shall
low water. This from the Denver
Times, in the shape of a special from
Cheyenne, will be of interest:
Never in the history of Laramie
county have streams been so low in the
spring as at the present time and
ranchmen are beginning to fear there
will be insufficient water for irrigatIng.
Ordinarily streams at this eason are
running deep with snow water, but
TINS spring they are lower than is gen.
orally the case at the end of summer.
So low have some OF the smaller
streams fallen that it is feared the
trout inhabiting them will die from
lack Of water"

More Pacific Forts Needed.

Many of our leading senators and

discussing the ACCESSIBILITY of building
more extensive ~fortifications on the
Pacific coast. "In time of peace pre-
pare for war; is an old quotation that
may have some significance at this
particular time. In time of health be
on your guard against sickness by
keeping the digestive organs strong
and healthy, the liver active and the
bowels open by using Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters. Thus you are well forti-
fed against attacks of poor appetite,
sick headache, vomiting, indigestion,
biliousness, costiveness, female ills,
colds, grippe and malaria, fever and
ague. Insist on having Hostetter's,
with our Private Stamp over the neck
of the bottle. We guarantee 1t abso-
lutely pure and you'll find 1t will dc
you a world of good.
