The settlers under the Blaine
County Irrigation company's project
on Little Lost river held meeting
Saturday to take steps to resist the
latest demands Of the company for
full payment Of all past due payments
for water rights and interest on the
same.
There 10 considerable feeling among
the settlers because the company has
sent out final notices that II the past
due payments are not Immediately
made foreclosure proceedings are
threatened and those who are in ar
rears in their water payments viii
be disposscssed Of their holdings.
The Little Lost river project covers
approximately 1900 acres. The pro-
ject was opened five years ago. Tho

!. surplus flood waters Of Little Lost
FiysE The reservoir does not hold
I the water impounded owing to the
soil formation. which Is open and per.
mits excessive seepage. Az q reanH
of the failure Of the reservoir to
hold water the settlers claim that they
never have had sufficient supply Of
water for irrigation and that they hav
been unable to raise crops sufficient
to enable them to support themselves
and make payments for water rights.
Price Of Water RaIsed
The original contracts called for the
payment of $25 per acre for water.
When it was found that the reservoir
system was faulty and would not sup
ply the water the company proposed
that If the settlers would sign up to
pay SIS per acre additional that the
company would make the reservoir
good. Most Of the settlers agreedato'
this and signed up 10 pay another SIS
per acre for their water. Now it is
claimed that the company did not go
forward with its agreement and pro
vide an adequate water supply.
Owing to the failure of the com
pany to furnish sufficient water for
irrigation the settlers have either
been unable or refused to meet the
payments when due and the final
notice which amounts to an ultimatum
from the company has been sent to
the contract holders.
The company, in its notice :, the
settlers, claims that the holders Of
the bonds have ordered the collection
Of all sums due or past due and that
the officers Of the company have no
option In the matter, but ore COM

eases Follow.

There are other symptoms, such as
pains in the region of the kidneys,
nervousness, dizziness, tired and worn
out feeling, weak bladder, painful,
scaldy. or urinary troubles. which are
Just as dangerous, for the slightest
kidney arrangement if neglected may
develop into the deadly Brights Dis
ease, Dropsy. or Diabetes.
1t is not only dangerous. but need
less, for you to suffer, and endure the
tortures of these troubles, for the new
discovery, CroXone, quickly and surely
ends all such misery.
There is no more effective remedy
known for the cure OF kidney. bladder
trouble, and rheumatism, than this
new scientific preparation, because II
removes the cause. 1t soaks right into
the kidneys. thru the walls and Innings
cleans out the clogged-up pores, neu-
tralizes and dissolves the poisonous
uric acid and waste matter, that lodge
in the joints and muscles and cause
those terrible rheumatic pains and
makes the kidneys filter the poison
from the blood and drives it out of the
system.
Three doses Of Croxone day, for
few days is often all that is ever
needed TO cure the worst backache or
overcome disagreeable urinary disor-
ders. and you can take it with the ut
most confidence that nothing on earth
will so quickly cure the worst case OF
kidney, bladder trouble, or rheumatism.
You can find CroXone different from
all other remedies. There is nothing
else like It, 1t is so prepared that it is
practically impossible to take it into
the human system without results. An
original package costs but trifle at
any first class drug store All drug
gists are authorized TO personally re-
turn the purchase price if Croxone
Should fail in a single case.

How to Have the Best Cough
Syrup and save ~, b.
Making Il at Home.

Cough medicines, as a rule, contain q
large quantity of plain syrup. If you
take one pint of Rranulated sugar, add
u pint of warm water and stir about
minutes, you have as good syrup as
money could buy.
If you will then put 21a ounces Of
Pinex $50 cents WORTH in q pint bottle,
and fill it up with the Sugar Syrup, you
will have as much cough syrup as you
could buy ready made for $3.50. 1t
And you viii find it the best cough
cough. You can feel it take hold-i,su:
hours, It is just laxative enough, has a
good tonic effect, and taste is pleasant.
Take q teaspoonful every one, two OF
three hours.
It is splendid remedy, too, for
whooping cough, Group, hoarseness, asth-
ma, chest pains, etc.
Pinex is the most valuable concentrs-
ted compound of Norway white pine ex-
tract, rich in guaiacol and all the heal
ing pine elements. No other prepare
ton will work in this formula.
This recipe for making cough remedy
with Pinex and Sugar Syrup il now
used and pri1ed in thousands Of homes
in the United States and Canada. Tho
plan has often been initiated but never
successfully.
A guaranty Of absolute satisfaction, or
money promptly refunded, goes with this
recipe. Your druggist has Pinex, or will
get il for YOU. If not, send to TINS
