orders to meet passenger No. at

fog the station was passed and no
warning was given the freight crew
until they were at the foot OF the
grade east of Wrencoe, when they
saw the headlight of No. /. The

people from the east who were
coming west on the reduced rate,

STATES SHOULD BUY STUMP
LANDS AND SETTLE THEM
Northwest Will Gain Many Thcus-
ands of Population with Plan in
Force.

Spokane, Oct. 16.-Larger increas-
es in population and greater faHm
prosperity than now seems possible
would follow if the states in the
northwest would acquire all the logg-
ed-off lands within their boundaries
and sell them to actual settlers, in
small holdings, to be paid for in in
stallments extending over 20 to 40
years, said c. M. McAllister, agent
of the Portland Union Stockyards
company, while in Spokane inspect
ing the live stock at the Interstate
fair grounds. He added:
"The cattle, horses. hogs and
sheep, entered from various parts of
the northwest. are the best l have
seen in years. They are good
enough to exhibit anywhere in Amer
lea. This is an encouraging sign,
and the greatest need of the north
west today is diversified farming.
with special attention directed to the
raising Of live stock. The northwest
as a whole imports annually be-
tween $8.OO0,OO0 and $4,000, 900
worth of live hogs and packing house
products that should be produced in
this country.
"The tendency has been toward
larger wheat farms, which necessar-
lily means a smaller population. This
condition should be changed, and
the way to do this is to make the
farm smaller so that the owners will
be compelled to cultivate their hold
ings every year. Instead of farm
er summer following half Of his Ian
each year, that ground should be
planted to corn or field peas to be
harvested by hogs. In this way the
land would be in better shape for
the following crop of wheat, while
the farmer should have earned off
each 80 acres between $1,000 and
$500.
"In those portions of the country
where alfalfa is or can be raised,
hogs should be the main product, be-
cause, with a little finish feeding of
grain, hogs can be produced more
cheaply than in any other place in
the world.
mo country in the world is bet
ter adapted to raising cattle and
hogs, especially if the land holdings
are small. The big packers now
have plants in the northwest ready
to buy at all seasons of the year.
80 much am l believer in the
advantage to be derived from the
diversified. farming of small hold
ings, that should like to see the
northwestern states purchase all the
logged-off lands inside their boun-
diaries and sell small holdings to
actual settlers, on easy payments. If
this were done, and the present larg
ranches cut into smaller farms, the
poulation of the northwest would
be enormously increased and it's
prosperity would be many times
greater than at the present time. -

We are so positive that we can
relieve constipation, no matter how
chronic it may be, that we offer to
furnish the medicine free Of all cost
If we fail.
We think that it is worse than
useless to attempt to cure consti-
patton with cathartic drugs. Ca
thartics may do much harm. They
may cause a reaction, irritate and
weaken the bowels, and make con-
ssipation more chronic.
Constipation is often accompanied
and may be caused by weakness of
the nerves and muscles of the large
intestine or colon. To expect a
cure you must therefore tone up
strengthen those parts and restore
them to healthier activity.

ciple of our remedy involved the la
