PROTEST OF LOBSTER FISHERMEN.

The lobster fishermen all along the Maine coast
from Cliff Island to Eastport are up in arms
against the carrying out of an act passed by
the last Legislature entitled IAN act to provide
for the granting of lobster licenses and giving
State wide jurisdiction to wardens." They
claim that the act is directly antagonistic to
the best interests of the lobster fishing industry
of the Maine coast, and if allowed to become
law will WORK great hardshps and impose I'M
necessary burdens upon the fishermen, They
propose to invoke the referendum as to this
act and are sending out petitions to all the
coast towns for signatures. The principal OBJ
lection the fishermen find to the law is the
almost unlimited power conferred upon the
wardens, they being empowered in case of
short Holsters being found in the possession of
a fisherman to take away his license and prac-
tically put him out Of business. they having
similar authority over the emacksman and the
dealer. Although the interested parties make
out pretty good case it is very doubtful if
they can secure enough signatures to bring it
to a referendum vote

Some Forms Of rheumatism CurabIe

Rheumatism is a disease characterized by
pains in the joints and muscles. The most
common forms are: Acute and Chronic Rheu-
matism, Rheumatic Headaches, Sciatic Rheu-
matism and Lumbago. All these types can be
helped absolutely by applying some good lini-
ment that penetrates. An application of Sloan's
Liniment two or three times day to the
affected part will give instant relief. Sloan
Liniment is good for pain, and especially
Rheumatic Pain, because it penetrates to the
seat of the trouble. soothes the afflicted part
and draws the pain. ''Sloan's Liniment is all
medicine" Get a 25c bottle now. Keep it
handy in case of emergency.

CONSTIPATION OR COMFORT?

There can be neither comfort nor good
health where constipation exists. Most
people suffer from this cause at intervals,
many are chronic victims.
The old-time remedies for this very
common complaint are nauseating doses
of some powerful purgatives that leave
the condition worse than before.
In the new laxative, Pinklets, is pre-
senteu a dainty, sugar-coated granule,
that is free from unpleasant effects, does
not upset the stomach nor grippe but SIM
ply gives nature the needed assistance.
Once use Pinklets and you will never re-
turn to salts, oil and harsh purgatives.
Write the DR.. Williams Medicine Co.,
Schenectady, N. Y, for free sample, or

from your own druggist.

PIONEER MINISTER
HERE FOR VISIT

Accompanied by his wife, r. K.
Kaufman, of Fort Wayne, Ind, who
was the second minister of the local
United Brethren church, spent por-
tion of last week here visiting at the
home of MIR. and Mrs. S. E, Bartmess.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kaufman had not been
here for a period of % years.
= "The development of the district, !"
said MIR. Kaufman, who visited the
Glacier Office last Thursday, ''has been
simply amazing. Why, when left
here there were but 600 people. There
we're no banks, and scarcely any laid
out streets.
1t was interesting to hear MIR. Kauf-
man, who is now a stock raiser in lndi-
ana, recall incidents of early days. 81
remember one night thieves broke into
DR.. Brosius' store. The dogs of the
Hartley family, who resided then on
the block just west of the business dis
trict, between Oak street and Cascade
avenue, 'treed' the robbers, and as
they broke to run they stumbled over
some large boulders on a vacant lot
and were caught.
MIR. Kaufman took great interest
IN the Indians who e.here, and Sc
curing his data from them, wrote some
interesting pioneer sketches.
81 remember old sCultus Dave, y he
says. "This old Redskin, along with q
number of others who had participated
in massacre, was captured by Geners
Sheridan and all except Dave were
hanged. The general told Dave he
would hang him if he ever heard Of
his doing anything else. Dave inter
preted the meaning of the general tC
be that he should never do any more
work, and he followed the order to the
| letter"

little steamboat.
"My husband and own the larger Of

we feel that no one has a right to
change its name. Grand old Mitchell,
as we look upon it each day, means
much to US. We gave the State High
way Commission a right of way through
the little point, and we will object to
no change in the name of 1t. ~
Mrs. Locke states that other resi-
dents of the community prefer the
name of Mitchell Point.
