PARENTS LOSE SON
WHILE TRAVELLING
Romantic Tale Revealed by Fill
ing of Court Papers
Asking Adoption.
tspecia. to The Herald-Republicano


Ogden, March ia tale usually
found only in the realms of fiction has
come to light in the district court by the
filing of petition for adoption this aft
ernoon by John S. Smith, an Ogden
man. He tells of having picked up a
we'll dressed little boy 8 years old way
back in 1901 at the union railroad sta
tion in this city, where the child had
lost his parents between trains.
Smith took his charge to the police
station, and after several days inquiry
had failed TO elicit any information re-
garding the child's people, he took the
boy home to care for him like he would
a son. He asks the district court to
allow him to formally adopt the lad.
Several years ago when Smith and the
boy were absent from the city, clue
came to the notice of the local officials,
which, though it might have led to the
discovery of the parents of the child
had Smith been within reach, was lost
before he returned to the city. The
clue was contained in telegram from
Cincinnati to the effect that such a child
was lost at the Ogden union station in
June 1901, and that the parents were
still searching for him. BY the time
Smith could again be located, the Gin
einnati people could not be located
again. That was four years ago. Smith
is confident that the parents will never
appear to claim the child.

FIFTY YEARS OF ASTHMA
Only These Who Know What Asthma
Is Can Appreciate This Cure.

Only those who know the great distress
occasioned by that disease can appreciate
just what fifty years of asthma means.
And the method through which complete
cures are accomplished after such a pc
riOd is interesting, particularly as ii con-
Germs some thing new in medicine.
Mrs. ]. r. Ramsey, Route 2, Ellwood
City, Pa, suffered from asthma since a
child of three, a period of over fifty
years. She attributes her recovery solely
to the use of the new specific, ascatco.
Mrs. Ramsey says: Less than one bottle
of ascatco cured me, and l recommend it
to all sufferers"
AscatcO is the specific of Austrian ORR
gin based upon the proven theory that
asthma, being a constitutional disease,
must be eradicated by constitutional
treatment. Mrs. Ramsey's experience is
only one of many thousands of similar
cases reported since ascatcO's remarkable
work began here a few years ago. Cases
then first cured are now found TO have
been cured perma nently, neither the asth-
ma nor its symptoms having returned
after being driven from the system. The
I genuine aScatco may now be procured, in

NEWS OF UTAH AND ADJOINING STATES
GUNN|SON GROWS
AT A RAPID RATE
Development of Town and Sur
rounding Country is Taking
Place Very Fast.
Especial to The neutrality-suspicious.


Ephrain, March 19.-Less than ten
years ago the town of Gunnison was
scarcely known outside the boundary
lines of Sanpete county, but today it is
known as one of the greatest fruit and
farming districts in the intermountain
region. During the last few years large
reservoirs and canals have been con-
structed in the valley, consisting of the
Gunnison irrigation system, which fur
nishes water for the central part of the
valley. The lands under this system
! are noted for their enormous produce
ton of alfalfa, SO much so that Gunni-
son is known as the alfalfa" town of
the state.
The Highland canal system furnishes
water for the high or bench lands in the
eastern part of the valley. This land is
particularly adapted to the growing
fruit, vegetables and sugar beets. Hun
dreds of acres of orchard have been
planted, and it is expected from the or
ders that have been placed with the diff
| ferent nurseries that there will be at
least 1000 acres planted to fruit trees
this spring.
In the lower part of the valley are
located the Fayette & Dover irrigation
systems, which supply water for thou
sands acres of land which are noted
for their production of alfalfa seed.
To the west of the valley is located the
West View irrigation system, which,
like the Highland, furnishes water for
all the bench land in the western part of
the valley. These lands are also noted
for alfalfa, besides being very produc-
tive of all kinds of fruits and vegeta-
bles.
With the development of these Won
! derful resources, Gunnison, which is
located in the center of the valley, has
grown from remote village to an up
to-date city. At the present time Gun
nison valley has a population of 5000
inhabitants. 1t contains one newspaper,
| nine general merchandise stores, two
fine opera houses, three butcher shops
two hotels, one furniture and one drug
| store, besides numerous other bust
nesses. The valley boasts of having the
best equipped and up-to-date bank
south of Salt Lake. It's deposits have
almost doubled each month from the
time it was opened.
About one year ago an independent
telephone system was launched with
thirteen subscribers, and today has 10.
The city has at the present time un-
der construction a fine water system,
which will be completed during the
summer and the citizens are now con-
templating the installing of an electric
light plant. Between s20,0 900 and $50, OOO
are being expended in public and private
buildings, the majority of which are
now completed.
The Spaulding Livingston Investment
company has demonstrated implicit
faith in Gunnison by investing nearly
100000 in farming and fruit lands,
which are beig subdivided into small
tracts and sold to homeseekers.
