w. E. Cort,
Lewiston, Montana.
NY Dear Cort:-This will introduce
DR.. Coventry, an eye specialist, who
has been in Livingston about six
months. I had very serious trouble
with my eyes, the trouble dating back
to our university days; DR.. Caro-, the
oculist in the University Of Michigan,
and dozens of others utterly failed to
correct the trouble. DR.. Coventry sue
ceeded in fitting glasses which have
given me great relief, and for that
reason ! take pleasure in Introducing
him to you. Men in his line of bust
ness are oftimes maligned by others in
the same business, and oftimes they
are correctly talked about, but in his
case, feel entirely satisfied that he
will do as he agrees, and that he thor
oughly understands his business. Any
favor that you may be able to do him
will be appreciated by me.
Yours as ever,
H. J. Miller

A card from the family of our old
friend G. N. Watson who resides at
Puyallup, Wash, says that Mr.. Watson
suffered a severe stroke of apoplexy on
Thursday of last week, and is very sick.
Mr.. Watson formerly lived here and is
kindly and solicitously remembered by
a host of old friends, in which this
scribe sincerely joins, that he may
speedily be restored to normal health.
Mr.. Watson is good man, and those
two words embrace every superlative
that could be employed in reference tc
George N. Watson. We are credibly
informed that to Mr.. Watson belongs
the honor of being the first white man
to make an incursion into the Red
mountain country. At the time, some
sixteen years ago, not one mile OF road
lead out of this town in any direction.
The Red mountain section was track
less wilderness. 1t was he who first
made the discovery Of mineral into
that part of the country to which at this
time good state road extends and
where hundreds of men are every year
employed in prospecting and develop
ing mineral claims.

The tearing chinook which blew
down the lake all night Sunday night,
and the fierce east wind which sprang
up within few minutes after the
chinook died down, with its rapid vari-
atoms of direction from all points of
the compass, north, east and south,
lashed the waters of lake Chelan into a
white fury, and considerable damage
was done to launches and rowboats
moored to docks and tied along the
shores and not properly secured
against such an unusual and unex-
pected winter wind. -Chelan Leader.
