against it. After long residence in
one place the blood begins to run
sluggishly; the appetite fails, the
mind becomes dull and the feelings
stupefed. Mind and body act and
react upon one another. Every
physician recognizes the value of
change, not only the change of air
and diet. but change of surround
| ings, as a medicine for the sick.
Change of scene stimulates the
mind and heart to activity, and
/ these, reacting on the body, rouse
it to greater vitality and effort, un-

1t is the mother of household
whose life is chiefly threatened
by monotony. She stays at home.
She is always in the house seeing
the same things, hearing the same
voices, doing the same work day
after day, with endless regularity.
The demands upon her time and
strength and love and patience are
increasing, and the wonder is that
she does not break down more fire.
quently than is actually the case.
The fact occurs too often, and in
such cases an ounce of prevention
is worth many pounds of cure.
When mother begins to look
hollow-eyed and weary; when she
wakes in the morning unrefreshed
to drag through a weary day, then
| is the time to send her away, if
only for short while. Of course
| she will object. There is the sew
ing to be done, the preserves to
attend to, and, besides, it is impos-
sible to leave the children and
equally impossible to take them
| with her. Don't listen to her OBJ
| jections. She has r.eaehed tho
point where she is too exhausted to
plan and carry out such an under
taking herself, If she could plan
it she would not need it. But let
her husband, whom she has served
so faithfully, or the oldest daugh-
ter, to whom she has given her life,
farrange all matters, so she can
leave home with her heart at ease
about the children. Call in some
relative or friend to help to stay
with the little ones, and send the
dear, tired mother as far away
from home as it is possible to get
her, and keep her away until she is
strong again in nerves and body.
Is it worth while to let the mind
that God has given you lose all its
vigor for lack of exercise? If you
fail to take bodily exercise the body
shrivels and decays prematurely.
If you fail to take mental exercise,
the mind withers. Set apart some
time for reading, thinking and
talking every day. Keep the even
ings for books and helpful talks
with your own. Life will be happi-
er and richer for it. The mind is
wonderfully responsive. A little
time each day devoted to good
book will amount to a great deal in
year. You are not mere animal
that you should be content to eat,
to sleep, to labor and to die. The
life of the mind is as important as
the life of the body. Keep your
mind young and active and strong
for your own sake and for your
family's sake. Your husband will
offer you fuller confidence, a more
trusting love, and your children
will be proud of you if you are an
intelligent woman.

STORES SOON TO
CONSOLIDATE
The Cottonwood Mercantile Co.
Rents Brust's Store Building
After Next April and Will Take
Part Of That Stock.

While rumors have been af1oat
for some time, it is definitely
learned this week that some ma
terial changes are to be made
among our mercantile establish
ments shortly after the first of
the year. The Cottonwood Mer-
camille Co., which has been re-
ducing its stock as rapidly as
possible for the past several
months, is putting on another
sale and intends cutting its stock
down materially before spring.
This company has rented the big
brick store building adjoining
the First National Bank from w.
g. Brust and viii occupy the
same by April 1st, 1910. In the
meantime Mr.. Brust will reduce
his stock as much as possible
and the Mercantile Co. will take
over the remaining stock when it
occupys the new quarters.
After the sale of his store Mr..
Brust intends leaving for Old
Mexico where he will probably
invest heavily in land as he has
had his eye on that country for
some time as being a good place
for speculation.
With the combination of the
two stores the Mercantile Co.
will have the largest stock of
goods in the city and, with their
choice location, should be able to
handle an enormous business.

turned against Martin Stasco and
George Guyette on the charge Of
selling liquor to Indians, yester-
day, Guyette pleading guilty to-
day, while Stasco was released
by Judge DIETRICH after a lecture.
Both men were arrested by Will
son, meat inspector Of Lewiston.
Guyette was sentenced to six
months in the Lewiston jail and
a $1OO fine was imposed on him.
Judge DIETRICH called young
Stacio, an Austrian laborer, be-
fore the bar and asked him about
his traffic which he admitted.
He said he did not know he was
violating any law. When Judge
DIETRICH explained the law in
detail he said he understood, and
when asked if he would sell any
more liquor to Indians, he said:
No, me soak Indian in eye if he
ask for whiskey.

CAMAS PRAIRIE
RAIL ROAD Co.
New Joint Road from Riparla to
drangeviIIe will Bear Above
Name---Office Now Being Op-
ened at Lewiston.

A Portland dispatch dated
Nov. 4th, says: For the purpose
of jointly operating the Harri.
man-Hill lines between Riparia
and Grangeyille, the Camas Prai.
rie Railroad company was incor.
porated here today.
Joint operation of the two
roads which have total length
of about $50 miles, has been un.
der consideration for some time
and today the final details were
completed.
The Hartman portion known
as the Oregon, Washington and
Idaho extends from Riparia juno
ton, or as it is called, Texas
City, to Lewiston. From Lewis
ton the Northern Pacific has ex-
tended a branch into the heart
Of the Camas Prairie country
terminating at tGrangeville. The
two roads have been operated
independently. The Grangeville
extension has been in operation
since January /, Of this year and
the Lewiston branch was opened
more than year ago.
The incorporators Of the oper-
ating company are ]. P. O'Brien,
vice president and general mana
ger of the O. R. & N, w. W..
Cotton, general counsel for the
0. r. &. N, ]. B. Kerr, Port
land, counsel for the Northern
Pacific, and ]. H. Fogarty, as
sistant general freight agent Of
the Northern Pacific. The COM
pany will elect as officers, ]. P.
O'Brien, president; d.. Y. Mutt,
vice president; and F. N. Finch,
superintendent and gen eral
freight and passenger agent.
Mr.. McNutt is fourth vice presi-
dent and general manager of the
Northern Pacific.
Under the plan agreed upon
the Camas Prairie Railroad COM
pany will be practically an inde-
pendent line and will receive the
revenue from local freight and
passenger traffic. The 0. R. &
N. and Northern Pacific will
name their own agents and the
territory reached will in effect be
competitive for through busl-
ness. That is, travelling freight
agents for each road will solicit
through business along the line
and if through car for instance

road at GrangevilIe BY the o. r.
= " for delivery in Portland,
tne y. +. & N. will receive the
entire revenue derived from the
car Northern Pacific through
business will be handled in the
same way.
While yet not definitely decid-
cd upon, it is expected that some
sort Of through passenger service
wIil be inaugurated in the near
future, but in any event the
points on the Grangeville line. in
point Of time enroute for passen-
gers, will at once be placed as
near Portland as Spokane.
T. n. Finch, the superintend-
ent for the newly organized com
pany, has been connected with
the Northern Pacific in different
capacities for eleven years. He
is now in Portland organizing a
corps OF assistants and will make
his headquarners at Lewiston.

Dam Work AT Kocskia.

A dispatch to the Spokesman.
Review says: Workmen are
clearing the land and completing
preparations for work on the
dam across the middle fork Of
the Clearwater river at Kooskia.
That the company has no inten-
tion Of building a pulp mill is the
contention of many Kooskia peo-
pie.
The promoters of the scheme
assert that a pulp mill was never
seriously considered. The pro-
moters, however, made repre-
sentations to Indian Agent o. H.
Lipps who rushed the patent for
Mary Lowery tract through the
Indian office. The Kooskia men
interested in the power company
say that work will be carried out
on the power dam at an early
date. The company proposes to
develop 10000 horse power from
this swift mountain stream.
1t has been suggested that the
power will be distributed all over
the Lewiston country over
high power wires which will
bring the energy to Lewiston,
where a bid will be made for
part of the power business Of the
city.
Agents for the Day syndicate
have canvassed the field.
The dam will be about rs feet
high and will run from bluff to
bluff, the ends being anchored in
the basalt walls of the canyon.

Brown In The Tolls.

Oscar Moberg left yesterday
morning for Walla Walla to be
present at the preliminary ex-
animation Of Robert Brown who
was arrested recently for the
theft of the White Steamer auto
mobile owned by Mr.. Moberg
and Henry Diebel. Brown was
in Cottonwood last summer in
charge of their automobile and
was later commissioned to take
the White Steamer auto to Spo-
kane and sell it for them. In
stead Of doing this he took the
car to Walla Walla where he sold
it for a small sum and pocketed
the money. Brown was only
located about a week ago and it
is stated that he will have to face
several charges as the auto COM
pany is also after him because Of
crooked work done while in their
employ.
