WRITES FROM THE
NORTH
Harry Scott, Wenatchee
Man, Does Not Like
Life in Alaska.

Harry Scott, brother of e. o. and
r. A. Scott, of this city has written
his brothers in this city from Tokot-
ma on the Ophir Inoko river, Alaska,
under the date of April 21st and
says among other things:
81 did great deal of hard work
and got but little for it. I came up
here the last of August and worked
for a month and have not made a
dollar since and you know what that
means when it costs about $3.50 a
day for provisions and do your own
cooking. It looks a little brighter
this spring, though spring has not
come yet and the snow is still three
feet deep. / have contract for do
ing some building for company here
so I expect to make a few dollars
this summer. Our summer here
means from the first of June to the
18th of September, so you see a man
has to make every day count.
eff I ever make a dollar I can call
my own | shall hunt different coun-
try to live in. The majority of men
in this country are awaiting spring
in order to get work for a grubstake
for the next winter. That is the case
from one year to another. Every
year the same thing over again.

Nd I[[EGRAP HIC
REPORTS
Fight Managers Demand
$4,000 for Right to Sell
Fight Bulletins.

General Manager Brooks, of the
Western Union Telegraph company.
issued notice yesterday that the COM
pany would not furnish news bulle-
tins either by special wire, messen-
gers or tickers pertaining to the
progress of the Jeffries-Johnson
fight at Reno July 4th. It's efforts
at Reno will be confined to handling
such business as is offered in the
| regular way by newspaper CORES
pondents and individuals. This is
a radical change from the policy of
the company in the past. Prior to
this order a number of local parties
in this city had made partial ar
rangements for securing bulletin SER
vice from the Western Union.
This unexpected announcement is
said to be the result of the exhorbi-
tant demands of the fight promoters
who insist on receiving $4,000 from
each of the companies as their share
of the proceeds of the bulletin SER
vice. This amount the telegraph
companies have declined to pay, and
unless some agreement is reached the
public will get little or no news of
the battle except through the special
editions of newspapers.
The Western Union has 10000 Of
| fees in the United States and prob
ably fully half that number will
have orders for the bulletin service
There is no means of arriving at
the amount of revenue the tele-
graph companies would receive from
| the bulletin service, but it has been
conservatively estimated at quar-
| ter of million dollars. The COM
panies have an increased expense in
| engaging additional operators and
messengers, but this is figured in
the amount charged for the bulle
tins.
| The Associated Press, United
Press and other news associations
make no profit, in fact they lose
money in the extra expense of spec
ial writer's and facilities in giving
them regular reports, and the fight
promoters cannot consistently charge
them for the privilege of reporting
the battle. On the other hand the
telegraph companies are paid, not
only for carrying the press reports,
but receive the additional compensa-
ton from the subscribers to the bull
letin service. The position of the
fight promoters is that the telegraph
companies are making big profits
which they should share with the
principals of the big event. The
telegraph companies are willing to
pay for the bulletin privileges but
not in the amount demanded.

80 YEARS OF SUCCESS.
Brunt 81 Parman Offer a Remedy
For Catarrh. The Medicine
Costs Nothing if 1t Fails.

When a medicine effects a sue
cessful treatment in a very large
majority of cases, and when we offer
that medicine on our own personal
guarantee that it will cost the user
nothing if it does not completely
relieve catarrh, it is only reasonable
that people should believe us, or at
least put our claim to a practical
test when we take all the risk. These
are facts which we want the people
to substantiate. We want them to
try Rexall Mucu-Tone, a medicine
prepared from a prescription of a
physician with whom catarrh was a
speciality, and who has a record of
thirty years of enviable success to
his record.
We receive more good reports
about Rexall Mucu-Tone than we do
of all other catarrh remedies sold
in our store. aud # more people only
knew what thoroughly dependable
remedy Rexall Mucu-Tone is, it
would be the only catarrh remedy
we would have any demand for.
Rexall Mucu-Tone is quickly alb
sorbed and by its theraupetic effect
tends to disinfect and cleanse the
entire mucous membraneous tract,
to destroy and remove the parasites
which injure the membraneous It's
sues, to soothe the irritation and heal
the soreness, stop the mucous dis
sue and relieve the blood and system
of diseased matter. It's influence is
toward stimulating the muco-cells,
aiding digestion and improving nu-
triton until the whole body vibrates
with healthy activity. In compare
lively short time it brings about a
noticeable gain in weight, strength,
good color and feeling of buoyancy.
We urge you to try Rexall Mucu-
tone, beginning a treatment today.
At any time you are not satisfied,
simply come and tell us, and we will
quickly return your money without
question or bubble. We have Rex
all Mucu-Tone in two sizes, so cents
and $1.00. Remember you can only
obtain Rexall Remedies in DEBORAH
at our store,-The Rexall Store.

Remodeling Approaches Completion.
The remodeling of the interior of
the Rudolph block, preparatory to
occupancy by the DEBORAH Furniture
Co., is going on rapidly. All the
partitions have been removed, sup
porting pillars put in place, stair
ways rebuilt, etc., and convenient
quarters for the undertaking de-
partment constructed in the base
ment. 1t is expected that the large
plate glass for the front will be here
in few days, and will be put in as
soon AS the weather moderates. Mr..
Leytze went to Chicago last evening,
to meet other members of the COM

the stock, which will probably ar
rive within couple of weeks. Mr..
Leytze will also visit Grand Rapids,
Mich, where, like Chicago, during
the month of January the wholesale
furniture dealers from all over the
country hold an immense exposition
of all the very latest furniture pro-
duced. 1t will be a great opportun-
