Houston Is Out On Bail.

Benton Houston, the boy who was
arrested two weeks ago near Ivanhoe,
Beaver county, charged with the muir
der of Burton NJ Reed, popcorn ven
dor in Wichita, Kansas, on the night
OF February 25th, 1911, had his prelim-
mary examination last Saturday and
was admitted to bail in the sum OF five
hundred dollars. People from Ivanhoe
and Shattuck, who believe in his inno-
cence furnished the bail for the young
man Guy Curtis. whom the state re-
lied upon to furnish the evidence that
would convict Houston of the crime, it
seems, tells a very "fishy" story about
the matter and the jud ge was so GER
tain of his implication in the matter
that he is also required to give five
hundred dollar bond for his appearance
at the next term OF court. People al
Shattuck and lvanhoe believe Curti,
guilty and express themselves to that
effect while no one believes that Hous.
ton is guilty Of this charge. While
| Houston does not bear the reputation
of being altogether an exemplary boy
his friends and neighbors are ready tC
stand by him in this instance and will
use every possible effort to bring tn,
real perpetrator of that 'rime to jus
tice. There is not one scintilla OF evi
! dence against Houston aside from Cur
tis' testimony and it was so crooked
that the judge required him to be plac
ed under bond. The people here ar
firm in their belief that Houston is in
nocent and from the evidence present

city also believe him innocent. Hous

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition OF the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inilamed you have a rumbling sound OF
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

Let Us Be Thankful.

Our neighbor picked up the paper,
glanced at the Thanksgiving proclama-
tion, and said: al don't see what the
people OF this part of the country have
to be thankful for. The crops have
been so poor, and times will be hard, !
for one do not feel like observing
Thanksgiving day"
Yes, it is true that it is not boun
tiful harvest and many Of us will meet
deprivations in the coming winter. but
it pays to stop, think, and be thankful.
A good CROP OF oats. wheat, corn and
cotton is something to give thanks for,
but there are even better things.
which drouth or food, sunshine or
storm cannot mar or destroy. We have
often heard this, that the best things
Of life are beyond the power Of money
10 buy, but have we ever thought deep
ly enough Of il to grasp the blessed
ness Of the truth?
What are the really good things OF
life? One is the right to love and to
be loved, The ties that bind husband
and wife, parent and child, friend and
friend in these human affections lie
our greatest possibilities OF happiness
Another is the exquisite j'y in living
that, some wise ones tell as, last only
through the first quarter century of
life. But have you not seen it in the
smile and felt il in the hand clasp Of
many men and women whose hair had
grown gray and have you not looked
into some sweet old face, quiet in the
last sleep, ana thought that the years
of right, joyous living had wrought in
to its lines that look OF ineifable happi-
ness? And yet another thing is the
ability we all possess to cultivate con-
tentment--contentm with the things
that are ours by right Of ownership,
and also with those that are ours
through our enjoyment Of them for
are we part possessors Of everything
that brings TO US pleasure. Youth
does not understand this. The boy who
covets the fine automobile that dashes
by him does not comprehend the mem
tai attitude of the older man who ad-
mires the power OF the machine, its
beauty of line and finish, and who.
after it has passed, plods on, thankful
that the walking is good. Life's capi-
tai is in its gains and conquests. Sc
let US lay aside the hard, bitter mem.
ories and remember only the blessings

March 20. - For some time Jailer Neal Shers has been finding his prisoners i1 a state of hilarious intOXiCatlOn, but with all the close watching and grilling of the prisoners no light could be had on just how they secured the liquor. which at times made them so unruly that rough-and-tumbe fights enSued among them.
 After several weeks of unsuccess- full attempts to ascertain the source of this annoying occurrence. Jailor Silers placed one of his 'truSties" in the corridor where all prisoners are allowed to exercise during the day, and not long after he wa n there he saw some of the prisoners stand ing at the barred windows and doors which open into the street, talking with man.
 After seeing him there two or three times the 'trusty" made more careful scrutiny and found that the man had a bottle of whisky conceal ed under his coat with a long rubber tube prOtruding from the bottle and extending through the bars of the window, where the prisoners who had the price and were On good terms with the stranger could take pull at the tube.
 The "trusty" also having the price, was soon admitted into good fellow ship and took his turn at the tube The terms of pulling at the cov- eted rubber was cents for a shcrt swallow and 10 cents for a long draught. The size of the swallows were regulated by the man with the bottle, who would cut off the flow by squeezing the tube near the bot tle After the discovery one of the prisoners produced the tube and turned 1t over to the jailer, and the arrest of Elisha Burton followed.

VALDEZ. March 2S - That the territory Is losing a large revenue annually by the present inadequate les receive rebate of n s fees and taxes for mainta'nt< Hatcher ies, Is the chief point ma by the grand jury in it's final ienort to Judge Cushman this afternoon
 IL recommends that Delegate WICK ersham urge upon congress leE1sla- ton which will place the salmon canning industry on an equal foot ing with other businesses in Alaska as regards license fees ard taxation and at the same time provide prop CT government supervisitn of the propagation of the salmon species.
 The grand jury cans attention to the fact hat owing to tle lack of supervision the Canneries practically name for themselves what sum they shall pay as license fees and taxes.
 Fer 1910 the superintendent of the Karluk hatchery on Kodiak Island. the only private hatchery in this division made affidavit of the liberation of 37,105,000 salmon fry, thereby taking exemption for 311.o5O cases of salmon amounting to over s14.OO0.
 The total tax due from he Alas ka Packers association for 1910 amounted to s29,557.66, s14,354 of which was related on account Of the Karluk hatchery and s10.OO0 on account of certificates transferred from other judicial districts--a total of s2444O.
 No rertificatiOn of inspection has been filed with the clerk of the court since 1906, says the report, and the law does not provide for any check on fry liberated the sim pie affidavit of the superintendent being all that is required
 The grand jury recommends that the law should require an annual cash tax and license fee and should provide for the maintenance Of sal mon hatcheries at the expense o1 the government and under the super vision of government experts.
