COLES REPORT FOR APRIL.

welcome TO the gentle spring
time, when all nature is upspring-
ing and the little birds are singing.
April, as a rule, is a showery
month but this is a maximum with
the moisture and vapors of the de-
parting winter. Following many
of the storms there will be change
to cooler weather, with snow squalls
and frost over the central and north
ern sections of the country. The
storm period, central the 3Ist of
March, will reach its elimination
during the first few days of April.
On or about the Sth regular Vul-
can storm period will be due, and
heavy thunder storms will be in
order.
The heaviest storms are likely to
occur during the last half of the
month, especially on or about the
2oth and 23rd. Full moon occurs
on the 10th and Easter Sunday is
on the 10Th, throwing it quite late
this year; there is no doubt but
that a cold spell and unreasonable
weather will occur about this time,
as there is generally change to
cooler after the Full Moon.
The month begins with Moon in
Aries, the house of Mars, with Sat
Urn near neighbor, and there will
be twenty-one "high-hood" days
and nine "low-ebb" days, there
fore, from the present outlook, the
month will be very good one from
business standpoint; there will be
noticeable improvement in the
majority of industries, and many
fortunate results from speculation.
The markets will be very active,
but be careful and do not get over
balanced. The sun being in sign
Aries is a good irducement for
lambs to bite. From about the 9th
to the 18th there are uncertain and
threatening times, with prices vacil-
ating.
Venus, the bright shining star in
the golden west, will present a
beautiful sight during the April
evenings to those who are fortunate
enough to be where the clouds do
not obstruct their vision. The
planet Jupiter will also shine forth
with much brightness in the west.
Friday. the 10th, and Saturday.
the nth, will be two very good
days for wedding and destroying
all noxious growth.
Thursday, the and; Wednesday,
the 18th, and Monday, the 27th,
will be very good days to sow or
plant grain seed, grass seed, all
seed where a qnick, rapid growth
is desired.
Tuesday, the 9TH will be an ex-
cellent day to plant flower seeds, or
to transplant vegetable plants, vines
rose bushes, berry bushes, &c.
Vegetation of any kind planted
at the right time needs but little
cultivation only when the vital
forces are at high flood"

SIMPLE WASH CURES ECZEMA.
Itching, Burning Skin Disease Routed Without Use of Injurious Drugs.

Great inventors Cften have been praised for surrendering the secrets Of their discoveries. Practically the same thing happened in the medical world in the case of pr. Decatur D. Dennis. the eminent skin specialist of Chicago.
 Dr. Dennis. in his own office Drac tice, discovered that pure vegetable oil of wintergreen. poperly mixed with other simple remedies was practical ly a sure specific for Eczema. psorias- is. barber's itch. salt rheum, and other itching skin diseases. But the oi! "f wintergreen alone was found ineffect- i've. It required other mild ingredi- ents such as glycerine and thymol compounded with the wintergreen, to produce the real eczema cure.
 This compounded D. D. D. Prescrip ton positively takes away the itch at once-the instant it is applied to tine skin. This vegetable liquid does away with deleterious drugs SO long used in an attempt to doctor the blood. where as modern science has determined -het eczema is first and all the time a skin disease.
 If you want tO know more about the merits of D. D. D. Prescription. call at our store. We vouch for this reme . dy Elvey & Hulett.

THE RIVERS STAGE

Salt river showed a more docile dis position yesterday afternoon though during the night it raved and roared to its hearts content. At daylight yes terday morning the gauge read seven feet but the readings taken during the night were higher The crest of the flood reached here at about eight o'clock Tuesday evening and at that time the gauge showed an even nine feet of water. It remained at that stage until about midnight when it began to recede. Another reading talk en by Mir. Cummings yesterday after noon at four o'clock showed 5.3 feet and the water slowly falling. While nine feet of water means a good sized stream. it does not mean as large a flood as those in the past and no dam age has been reported in this locality. Superintendent Crook was at the head of the canal yesterday morning but at that time so much water was going over the dam it was impossible to tell whether or not any damage had been sustained.
