Turner Junction, now part OF ChA
cago, saw his opportunity. he Went
to Texas as salesman and soon took
enough orders to swamp the manufac-
tory for which he was working. Ineh
he asked for a share in the prohts
and was refused. He became manu-
facturer himself, establishing plant
at st. Louis, and soon found hlmsen
involved in lawsuits over patents ne
moved into another state where the
court injuctions issued against MIN

case and continued for a time sue

wire.
Gates never turned his back upon
opportunity and he saw opportunity

/ He organized the Consolidated Steel
and Wire company, which was capi-
talzed at S90,000,000, and which ne
sold to the Federal Steel company.
Then followed the American Steel and
Wire company, capitalized at s9O,Oo0,-
600 and little later the United
/ States Steel corporation, with which

formed. He made millions out OF
these deals and other millions out OF
railway and industrial stocks.
During his spectacular plunging IN
Wall street, which he entered soon
after the close of the war with Spain,
various attempts were made to break
him. Occasionally his wings were
somewhat singed, but he was never
seriously wounded and he made the
financial interests of Wall street reck

measure responsible, also, have been the
farmers who were the pioneers in the settle

Eager to clear the land they had taken up and
to get to the actual work CT tiiiing the soil,
these settlers were prone In many instances
to think only Of the quickest and cheapest
ways of getting rid of the timber. In many
cases they took no pains to get the most out

maximum yield would be insured.
It is the professional lumbermen who have,

MAORI LAWMAKERS.

In the New Zealand parliament
there are four native or Maori rep
resentativcs. The old-time Maori
members were rather rough, only
partially civilized lot, who had gone
through the wars with the British.
and whose only conception of par
lament was a place in which to
ventilate their personal grievances
in prodigiously long orations. But
present-day Maori members are col
lege-bred, highly civilized, we'll

olden time famous fighting chief
took his scat, and there was imme-
diately general exodus Of white NJ.

lime contempt for European conven-
lions, he had come into the house
with the tail Of an ancient and odor-
ferrous shark protruding from his

Hawley, governor OF Idaho, and

Hawley never levied a dollar Of
taxes in his life, either as COVER
nor OF Idaho or in any other cas-
pacity. He knows further that
as governor Mr.. Hawley has abb
soluteIy no power to levy taxes.
He knows that county and state
taxes are levied by county COM
missioners alone that city and
village taxes are levied by such
corporations; thatspecial school
taxes are levied by the voters OF
such school districts; and he
knows that there is mo other tax
ing power in Idaho than those
enumerated above-except the
supreme court.
He knows that {by his veto pre-
rogative) Governor Hawley saw
ed to the purses OF the people Of
Idaho nearly half a million dol

He knows that Governor Hawley |
has insisted on every property |
owner in the state paying his
just and equitable proportion of
taxes, and 10 more. He knows
that this will be the logical and

80 YEARS OF SUCCESS
The Owl Drug Store offers a Remedy
For Catarrh.-The Medicine Costs
Nothing If it Fails.

When a medicine effects a success
full treatment in a very large majority
of cases, and when we offer that medi-
cine on our own personal guarantee
that 1t 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
specially, 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, and if more people only knew
what a thoroughly dependable rem
edy Rexall Mucu-Tone is, it would be
the only catarrh remedy we would
have any demand fer.
Rexall Mucu-Tone is quickly alb
sorbed and by its therapeutic effect
tends to disinfect and cleanse the en-
tire mucous membraneous tract, to de-
stroy and remove the parasites
which injure the membraneous It's
sues, to soothe the irritation and heal
the soreness, stop the mucous dis
charge, build up strong, healthy tissue
and relieve the blood and system OF
diseased matter. Its influence is to-
ward stimulating the muco-cells, aid
ing digestion and improving nutrition
until the whole body vibrates with
healthy activity. In a comparatively
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, sim
ply come and tell us, and we will
quickly return your money without
question or bubble. We have Rexal
Mucu-Tone in two sizes, so cents and
