court recently rendered decision in
the suit of the Grand Prize Hydraulic
Mining Company against R. Boswell
of Medford in favor of Boswell. The
action involved the ownership of a
mining claim in the Sucker creek re-

one of the most important mining
suits in the history of the state. The
land involved holds a rich placer gold
discovery, the wealth of which is un-

THE THING TO DO.
(By Walt Mason.)


Now go and spend some money
tanned for pure white lead and lin
seed oil, and see your residence is
painted, according to the rules of
Hoyle. Your wife may have a new
spring bonnet, imported and su-
premely smart, with beads and bugs
and doodads on it, triumph of the
hatsmith's art; and you yourself may
have new raiment, glad rags that
might adorn a king, suggesting
you've received the payment for
those gold bricks you sold this
spring; your sons and daughters may
be wearing a lot of togs that can't
be beat, and you'll imagine folks de-
claring that you abide on Easy street.
But they will say to one another,
"He puts his money on his back; he
ought to hire a man and brother to
paint his old diegraceful shack. With
bogus pride his chest Is swelling, he
flaunts his gaudy rags all day, but
The condition OF his dwelling gives
him and all his tribe away" Go, get
a brush that's good and dauby, a can
of painful lend you mine-and
paint your house and make it nobby,
and help to make the village shine.
Go, demonstrate that you're a dandy
at boosting up the painters trade,
and men will say you are handy and
pat you on the shoulderblade.

The Sanitarium
QUESTION CLEARED UP.
Ashland Readers Can No Longer
Doubt the Evidence.


Again and again we have read OF
strangers in distant towns who have
been cured by this or that medicine.
But Ashland's pertinent question has
always been, Has anyone here in
Ashland been cured?" The word of
a stranger living a hundred miles
away may be true, but it cannot have
the same weight with us as the word
of our own citizens, whom we know
and respect, and whose evidence we
can so easily prove.
A. B. Scofield, .10S7 N. Main street,

In that for 13 years, with full knowledge
of the plans and operations of the COM
pany, Dick Brothers publicly applauded
and approved and acquiesced in the acts

The answer Is a statement of the needs
