AWFUL BURNING ITCH CURED
IN A DAY

I'm the middle Of the night Of March
80th l woke up with burning itch in
my two hands and felt as II could
pull them apart. In the morning the
itching had gone to my chest and dur.
Ing that day 1t spread all over my
body. l was red and raw from the top
OF my head to the soles Of my feet and
l was in continual agony from the
itching. l could neither lie down nor
sit up. happened to see about Cuti-
cura Remedies, and thought would
give them a trial. took good bath
with the Cuticura Soap and used the
Cuticura Ointment. l put It on from
my head down to my feet and then
went to bed. On the first of April I
felt like a new man. The itching was
almost gone. continued with the
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
and during that day the itching com.

In addition to this. the South Texas
Poultry Association announces that
many champion birds are shipped
down to local breeders each month,
the highest price SO far paid being
for pair, OF Cornish imported by W.

third In the fall at Chicago in 1908
and first at the international fair here

South Texas breeders have made
such strides that they are sending
birds 1900 miles TO compete at the
great Northern shows. The most no

class OF 1856, in competition with all
the Northern and Eastern professional

Just as The Eagle was ready to go

message was received from the Brazos

was burning up This report, how.
ever, seems to have been exaggerated.
The fire originated in Carlo Salvato's

was rumored that his store and other

not be verified.
The salvato gin was fine plant
and worth several thousand dollars.
Just what the loss was and the amount
of insurance could not be secured this
afternoon.
Later-The last report to reach The
Eagle office was that salvato's gin. a
seed house and box car covered the
extent of the fire.

GOOD ROADS PARAMOUNT.
No other One Issue So Important To
Farmers And Town Dwellers in
Northwest States.

The great Inland Empire, the pride of
every resident of its vast domain, grow
ing daily in material wealth and com
mercial Importance, is sadly deficient in
the one thing necessary to give it sub
stantial permanency. Good roads, per-
manent, passable highways, giving I'M
interrupted communication between the
farm, the village and the cities, have
always been the mark of progressive,
prosperous and enlightened community.
1t is not necessary that these roads be
built of macadam. Gravel and earth
roads are sufficient in many localities
where the nature of the soil and the
natural drainage permit their use, but it
is decidedly necessary that they be built
scientifically.
The time has arrived when the farm
ers, fruit growers and all other agricul-
turists as well as the city and small
town residents, must talk this matter
over in plain words. A practical work
ing plan whereby the roads will actually
be built, is the only salvation for the
development of the limitless natural re
sources of this northwestern country.
The states of Washington, Montana
Idaho, and Oregon and the southern por
ton of British Columbia could furnish
road building material for the entire
United States. There is within easy
reach of any square mile of this terri
tory, material for the building of sub
stantial roads which will be dividend
paying investment for years and year
TO come.
The solution of the good roads prob
lem will not be reached until the maj
who owns the land along which the roa'
runs gets his neighbors interested-fo
their own beneft-until this small groul
federates with a township organization
and it in turn with the county, stat
and nation.
Then will come the knowledge of tn
value of scientific advice, the service
of the specialist who understands tn
. economic values of the material at hand
the establishment of grades, drainage
the preservation of the scenic surround
ings, the utilization of every natural an
artificial advantage, in the constructiO
of permanent highway in which til
individual land owner will feel a pr
prietary interest.

is THE MONEY KING
]. P. MORGAN HEADS TRUST
OF FINANCIAL INTERESTS.
Financial Interests of Wall Street in
Combine Last Three Months Simply
Community of Interests Its
Power Is Tremendously Gould Cripple
Financial Operations of Government.

So close have become the alliances Of
leading financial interests in Wall street
during the last three months that almost
absolute control of the country IS fnan-
cial affairs is now centralized in the
hands of very few men, who are acting
in concert.
A money trust has come into exist
ence with J. p. Morgan at its head, the
most gigantic combination of capital in
the world. There is no concrete, def
mite organization to this latest trust, no
legal incorporation, no elected directors,
no list of stockholders. To use a de-
seriptive phrase of the financial world,
it is simply community of interest. -
Assets of three insurance companies
alone controlled by the group aggregate
considerably more than 81, 000,000,000.
Here are some of the things the trust
could do:
1t could call 5000, 900, 900 of loans over
night and ruin any adversary.
1t could reduce credits to such a de-
gree as to cause extreme money strln-
Rcutl anu Sltdb COniAbcAOAd1 l4hots
1t could tie up cash holdings of New
York banks by demanding certifcation
of checks for enormous amounts.
1t could deplete bank reserves in New
York by causing shipments of cash to
any part of the country.
1t could make the money rate of in
terest almost what it chose, from per
cent to 100 per cent on all call loans.
1t could cripple financial operations
of the government by refusing TO pur-
chase any bond issue.
It could dictate financial operations
of great railway systems and expanding
industrial concerns.
IT could and does dictate terms and
exactions Of every company promotion
that is important enough to be financed

MAKE TWO FLEETS OF ONE.
Asiatic and Pacific Vessels Under Sep
arate Commands.

On account of the growing import
ance of American interests in the far
east and the difficulty of assembling the
whole fleet as now constituted, the navy
department has decided to divide the
Pacific fleet into two separate fleets
to be known as the Asiatic fleet and
Pacific feet.
In January, 1907, the old Asiatic feet
was merged into the Pacific feet and
made the third squadron thereof. To
days action restores the old order.
The commander-in-chief of the new
Asiatic feet will be Rear Admiral John
Hubbard, who will relieve Rear Admir-
al Harbor in a few days at Yokohama
Rear Admiral Harbor will relieve Rear
Admiral Sebree as commander-in-chief
Of the Pacific feet in February.

dts are dead, one is in Jail at Guthrie,
wounded, and two suspects are in jail

The foregoing figures show there is
need of more farmers in the northwest
ern states and that millions of acres of
lands now idle could be put under cul-
tivation on a substantial revenue pay
ing basis. There are many who believe
that the days of the bonanza farms are
numbered, which means that with small
Ell holdings there will be more intensive
farming, and, as a consequence, larger
acre crops.
The farm products of 1909 in the In
land Empire, taking in Eastern Wash
ington and Oregon, north and Central
Idaho and Western Montana, are valued
at $4,000, 900, with East IN Washing
ton furnishing about 3s per cent of the
whole. A normal apple crop at present
prices, instead of a yield ranging from
IS to 40 per cent, would have placed the
figures at approximately s117, 100000, as
against $90,OOO,000 in 1908.
