sition, and one that counts.

THE BEST ADVERTISEMENT.

The best advertisement is through
the newspapers. The best way of
reaching the public Is by giving
notice through some creditable paper
that reaches the public. Every word
printed In a newspaper Is read not
by one, but by thousands of people
A paper with circulation of 1000
reaches thousand homes and has
a constituency of 5000. Does that
mean anything? If you give notice
to 5000 people four times each month
will that not bring you returns? If
not, you haven't given the proper
kind OF notice.
The merchant expects to sell from
$4,000 to $1,000 worth of goods each
month. II he can bring himself within
speaking distance of these 5000 peo-
pie four times each month, will It
not pay him? The merchants that
are doing the business of the nation
today are the heaviest advertisers.
Many large firms that few years
ago depended wholly upon catalogues
are now resorting to newspapers and
circulars, for the reason that the
latter pay best-Merchants Guide.

A Common Cold.

We claim that if catching cold
could be avoided some of the most
dangerous and fatal diseases would
never be heard of. A cold often
forms culture bed for germs of
infectious diseases. Consumption,
pneumonia, diphtheria, and scarlet
fever, four of the most dangerous
and fatal diseases, are of this class.
The culture bed formed by the cold
favors the development of the germs
of these diseases, that would not
otherwise find lodgment. There is
little danger, however, of any of
these diseases being contracted when
q good expectorant cough medicine
like Chamberlain Cough Remedy
is used 1t cleans out these culture
beds that favor the development of
the germs of these diseases. That is
why this remedy has proved SO uni
versally successful in preventing
pneumonia. 1t not only cures your
gold quickly, but minimizes the risk
of contracting these dangerous dis
eases. For sale by Burnaugh &
Mayfield.

tai value of the three is slightly in
excess of $1,000. 1t is proposed to
have the largest of these three mug
gets arranged so that visitors may
pick it up and the big yellow lump
will pass through thousands of
hands during the exposition.
The Alaska fair commission has al
ready secured the dust, nuggets and
gold bricks for the display and it
will be arranged in the gold pavil-
ion of the Alaska building several
days in advance of the opening of
the exposition June l. A portion of
the gold is now in safety deposit
vaults in Seattle.
Every claim and prospect in the
four divisions of Alaska contribut-
ed not less than an ounce of gold to
the display, and the Seward penin-
sula, Tanana River, Copper River and
Southeastern Alaska districts are
all represented. In addition to the
gold, many of the mine owners of
the Nome and Fairbanks camps will
also have samples of pay dirt, gravel,
bed rock and black sand. The ex-
hibit will be in excess of two tons of
pure gold, just a it was washed from

ONE MILLION DOLLARS
VIRGIN GOLD ON EXHIBIT

Seattle, Feb. 9-One million dollars
in virgin gold that will sink auto
matically every night into a steel
vault to re-appear with the same pre-
cision in the morning will be the cen
tral feature of the Alaska exhibit
at the Alaska Yukon.Pacific exposi-
tion next summer. Piled in glitter
ing heaps of dust nuggets and
bricks. this brilliant display will be
one of the greatest attractions on
the exposition grounds. The
gold pavilion, where the million dol
lars will be on display will be en-
closed with a heavy wire cage and
special guards will patrol the Sec
tion night and day to protect the
treasure.
The large steel vault. built in sol,
Id concrete. win operate automati-
cally on time lock. Each night at
the closing hour the two tons of
gold will disappear and the steel
and concrete top will slide into place
leaving nothing in view but the
smooth surface of the floor. The
time lock will be set for the opening
hour in the morning when the treas
ure will reappear. The construction
of this vault will cost $4,000.
In the gold exhibit are three of the
largest nuggets ever found in Alaska.

STATE BAcTERlOLOGlST
SAYS 1T WAS DIPHTHERlA

Enterprise, Feb. 6.-(To the Edi-
tori Will you kindly publish the
following on behalf of justice and
fair play: There has been .consid
erable discussion pro and con oval
the cases of diphtheria reQO tel by
myself. The Wallowa Sun, issue of
January /, published an article which
casts reflections upon me and which
questions my ability as diagnosti
clan. In reply to the above | wish to
offer few remarks in explanation.
When called to see Mr.. Thomas
Brady | was unable to reach his
home until after the old gentleman
had passed away, consequently was
unable to get a clinical picture OF
lis case, and relying upon the de
scription furnished me by his family
believed it to be diphtheria.
then in the presence of witness
took from Mr.. Brady's throat some
Of the secretions for microscopic ex
anu CD d ISAh
porary quarantine. l then in the
presence of the same witness car
lied said secretions sealed up in a
o.t'e to my office where l made
4 microscopic examination of the
jame and found it to be diphtheria
| then ordered an effectual quar-
antine.
Some two weeks later Mr.. o. H
Brady and daughter of this city
came down with diphtheria. l fol
owed ont the exact procedure the
same as in Mr.. Thomas Brady's case
and quarantined. After Mr. o. H
Brady recovered | gave him the
microscopic slides and he sent them
the State Bacteriologist, Dr..
ialph C. Matson, Portland, Oregon.
The following letter from DR.. Robt.
C. Yenney, state health officer, will
explain as to whether | followed the
proper course in protecting public
health and as to the correctness OF
my diagnosis.
