5000 for the Flathead, and 500 for the
Spokane, there being about 1850
claims in the first reservation, $500

drawn over the number of claims in

claims may be thrown out, or who
may fail to make entry after drawing

Too Much Quiet.

On n occasion the hustling and
energetic archbishop Of York, DR..
Maclagan, wrote to the vicar in an
outlying village suggesting that he
should lend his church for the purpose
Of giving the clergy Of the district a
"quiet day" for meditation and frater-
nal reunion. The witty vicar Of this
sleepy hamlet in the wolds promptly
replied:
My Dear Lord Archbishop-Your very
kind letter to hand. But what the people
In this village want most in their spiritual
life is not a ''quiet day" but an earth
quake.

THE BACK OF THE NECK.
Make Il Proof Against Drafts and

Colds IN the Head.
when l was a boy" said a doctor,
II didn't believe in drafts. I thought
that they who imputed colds to drafts
were cranks. But one November
night at a concert I felt all the
ing a strong draft on the back Of my
neck. It was so strong 1t resembled q
suction pump. Now said I to my.
self, well see II this draft win give
yours truly a cold.'"
He shuddered.
"For a week." he said, II was laid
up with so vile a cold that I couldn't
breathe save with my mouth open.
And now I am satisfied that nine out
Of every ten colds are solely due to a
draft on the back Of the neck.
II know how to prevent such colds.
Hence l may practically say that I
know how to prevent all colds. It is a
fact that none OF my patients, thanks
to my method, know what a cold Is.
'"They learn from me to do this-to
battle the back Of the neck every
morning in cold water. Thus the spot
becomes hardened. It becomes draft
proof.
"And when a new patient, peculiarly
sensitive to colds, visits me, my pecul-
lar treatment Is to blow on the back
Of his neck with a bellows for several
days in succession. The bellows, in
conjunction with the Icy douche, frees
him from all future susceptibility.
Thenceforth his winters pass without
that horrid winter pest, a bad cold."-

COMMON PLEAS COURT.
Case of Brown & Perkins vs.. Main
Will Go to Jury Today-lnterestlng
Suit Followed by Many.

The common pleas court, with jury,
was occupied all day Thursday in the
trial Of the case of Brown & Perkins
vs. Main. the testimony being complet-
ed, and the arguments will be made
this morning, so that the case will
reach the jury today.
=. G. Perkins was recalled to the
stand on Thursday morning, and was
briefly cross examined by Mr.. Main.
during which hedenied receiving $500
from Mr.. Main. He also said he did
not see how they lost the heifer case.
In answer to Mr.. Msin, he said all a
man Is required to pay is 100 cents on
dollar.
-Mayor Thayer was called by MT.
Shields and said that the charges were
very moderate. Mr.. Main oross-exapn-
ined him briefly.
Attorney J. J. Desmond stated that
the charges were low, and told Mr..
Main there was q fee table by which
lawyers were governed For appear
ing for two men in the criminal court
where both pleaded guilty, he told Mr..
Main he got SO for a few minutes
work, and in the Galfivan case on the
las trial he received S27S from the
state.
Judge Ducius Brown, when called.
told Of the firms method Of doing bus
mess. He was given a long cross-ex-
animation by Mr.. Main. The bill FOR
S153.10, which Mr.. Main claimed he re-
that they did not use such paper. The
plaintiff rested here.
The only witness for the defense was
Mr.. Main, who had a large book in
which he made record of his accounts.
He claimed he did not do business with
the firm. but with the members sepa-
rately. His book showed where he had
received a bill for s16310. and he
ella lined he had paid Judge Brown $3.50
his books he does not owe the firm
anything. BY Mr.. Mains book he paid
$3.50 to Mr.. Perkins December 81, 1901,
in full for all work. and on January z,
1902, paid him 500 more. The latter
he thought might have been for taking
the case to the supreme court, and the
fact that the amount was interlined he
thought might have been due to for
getting to put in the amount when he
made the note. According TO the fig
ures Of Mr.. Main and those OF the firm.
Mr.. M1in had paid them more than
demanded.
Mr.. Main had large rnagnifying
glass in his pocket. which he used to
scrutinize the Brown & Perkins ledger
Mr.. Perkins admitted that one item
had been changed from $3.50 to S1B
before any bill had ben known to be
sent to Mr.. Main, because the smaller
amount was not considered sufficient.
Mr. Main thought the amount was
raised from SO, after inspecting It
with his glass.
The testimony was completed and
court was adjourned until this morn
ing when engagements will be made

Excellent Weather Gave the Best OPP

In every direction fishermen were
heading for trout brooks at sunrise

of the law going off on trout. 1t was

he was tie only one on the brook, the
presence Of a half dozen or more on the
same brook being discovered by most
Of the men.
For tho most part, everyone seemed
to have good luck, both as to numbers
and size. William Hazelhurst, who can
always be depended upon to bring in
one Of the largest strings, was up with
the birds and back in town by noon
with a string of fifteen, all of good
size, and the sight made many long for
a chance to get In on his trout pools
Tor some time he fished Willow brook,
where there were about a dozen others
during the day. With him was Otto

John Riley returned with a string
of six trout. while others had very

somewhat high and the water cold. The
indications from the strings would be
that there will be some good fishing
