Many SIeepIess Nights, Owing to ; Persistent Cough. Relief Found
 at aSt

For several winters past my wife has been troubled with most persis- tent and disagreeable cough, which in- variably extended over period of sev- eral weeks and caused her many sleepless nights, writes Will J. Hay ner, editor of the Burley, Colo, Bulle- tin. Various remedies were tried each year, with no beneficial results. In November last the cough again put in an appearance and my wife, act ing on the suggestion of friend, pur- chased a bottle of Chamberlain s Cough Remedy. The result was, in- deed, marvellous. After three doses the cough entirely disappeared and has not manifested itself since" This remedy is for sale by Dunaway & Lowe, Druggists.

FROM DESERT TO GARDEN
What Six Years Have Seen Achieved
 in Reclamation of the Valley.

Six years from absoulte barrennesS to bountiful and diversified crops is the record of the Imperial Valley. About seven years ago l was detailed to visit this prospective agricultural empire and present to the readers of the Times the outlook for farming in that vast domain of fertile soils. prospective water service and noth- ing but desert surroundings. At that time there were no signs of habitation whatever. Not cabin, or any kind of a building, indeed not an inhabitant was seen upon what is now one of the most fertile and productive re- gions in the State. A small group of tents marked that fact that men were stalking out the land for future use. Scarcely a wagon track or the imprint of a horses foot had made record that any one on earth had any inter est in country with the possibili- ties of State i'll extent and produc- ton. But the water was coming and that was sufficient to gain the atten- ion of the ever-land-hungry American I have visited that princely estate many times since in behalf of this paper, and have written of its future with lavish hand. But no one even fully familiar with this country could imagine the achievements that were in store for the Imperial Valley or foretell even now the extent to which the developments will reach.-J. w..

DAIRYMEN ORGANIZE
Will Work to Raise Standard of Herds and Improve General Conditions
 Want Official Tester.

The Imperial Valley Dairymen's As sociation is the latest organization to enter the field here for betterment of general conditions. A meeting held at the Court House in IGl Centro on Tues day afternoon was attended by about forty men interested in dairyi in Imperial Valley and developed Much enthusiasm for improving the general dairy interests.
 D. G. Whiting acted as chairman, and T. J. Stover was temporary sec retary. A committe on permanent or ganzation and constitution and by laws was appointed by the chair and is composed of E. H. Sherman, r. l.. Davis and G. w. Belden
 The next meeting will be held in El Centro at 10 o'clock of February 23, and all persons interested in dairy ing are invited to attend
 Grade up your herds; test your cream and guard your feed supply these were the important points urged by practical dairymen at the Tuesday afternoon meeting, Many phases of the dairying business were discussed and' the session was mu- tually helpful.
 The meeting endorsed the move ment which is placing before the State Legislature a bill asking that $25O0O be appropriated for the pur- pose of extending State inspection and instruction for dairymen.
 G. w. Belden proposed that the county association employ an official tester, and this was endorsed by sev- eral dairymen present.
 County Sanitary Inspector E H. sherman urged the dairymen to take particular pains to rid their pastures of noXious weeds which give to the milk disagreeable favors and spoil the sale of butter made from such cream. Representative of both the El Centro and Holtville creameres told of their experiences in loss of butter made 4IOM CONS JHdJ udu De6u dllOW6u to eat pepper grass or mustard. They stated that on fifty-ive cent market they had been compelled to sell this product at twelve cents and that the general reputation of Imperial Valley butter has suffered among the whole salers because of the use of cream that contained these obnoxious fla vOrs The butter-makers, they de. clare, are in favor of refusing to buy such cream, because if it is mixed with other cream the whole batch of butter becomes so favored.
 D. G. Whiting advocated the use of more dry feed, and said that he believed the time will soon be at hand when dairy cattle will be kept up off green pasture to a great extent and will be fed the cut feed that land owners will find this more profitable for the land and that the amount of milk will be increased by this method.
 Reports at the meeting showed that there are fully 200 dairies in opera tion in Imperial Valley.

DOES NOT APPEAR.
Mrs. Erickson Fails to Show Up for
New Trial at Municipal Court.

1t was a case not of waiting at the
Church. but of waiting at the court
room. with the officers connected with
! the Illegal possession case against Mrs.
| Mary Erickson of Mechanic street,
| Gardiner, which after the habeass'cor-
pus proceedings at Augusta Monday
was again in order for trial Tuesday
morning before Judge Larrabee of the
| municipal court. After the prisoner
was released from the county jail
Monday afternoon she was allowed to
go on her personal recognizance with
the understanding that she would APP
pear for retrial in the Gardiner munich
| pal court Tuesday morning. Her at
| torney, E. w. Whitehouse of Au-
gusta was present to proceed with the
| trial. but as Mrs. Erickson did not APP
pear at the appointed time, $780, for the
hearing, City Marshal Andrews paid
visit to her residence on Mechanic
street, where he learned that the wo-
| man had been there in the early morn
ing in company with her son and made
a hurried departure.
The illegal possession case against
Mrs. Erickson grew out of a raid upon
the place made Saturday night, June
10, by City Marshal Frank E. Andrews,
assisted by Deputy Sheriffs Fred f.
Potter of Gardiner. A. r. Buclklin of
Litchfield and Carl Weymouth of Wa
terville, Special Officer Frank E. Locke
and Constable Martin Burns of this
city. A quantity of liquor was found at
the place on Mechanic street occupied
by Mrs Erickson, which she claimed
was intended solely for her own use.
On the day following the raid, which
was Sunday, Mrs. Erickson was tried
before Judge Larrabee and found
guilty and given Jail sentence At the
habeas corpus proceedings held Mon
day before Judge Hall of the Kennebec
county superior court it was claimed by
Mrs. Erickson's attorney that the whole
transaction was illegal as the woman
was sentenced on Sunday. Judge Lar
rabee of the Gardiner court argued that
the statutes relating to the holding of
courts on Sunday do not apply to mu-
nicipal courts.
