TO FINISH ROAD AT ONCE
A. f. AbercrOmbie Travels l4O
Miles TO Reach Cottonwood.

w. F. Abercrombie, a promi-
nent rancher and stockman of
the Joseph plains had to travel
a distance of 140 miles to reach
Cottonwood Saturday from his
ranch which is only Is miles
from Cottonwood, the logical
trading point for Mr.. Abercrom-
bic as well as the rest of the
Joseph country. Mr.. Aber-
crombie made the trip from his
home to Snake river, a distance
Of three miles by foot where he
boarded a boat for Lewiston. At
Lewiston he made the remain
der of the trip to Cottonwood on
the train, covering in all a dis
tance of 140 miles to reach Cot
ton to attend to some business
matters.
Mr.. Abercrombie is a very en-
thusiastic booster for the road
which is now under construction
from the Joseph Plains to Rice
Creek, three miles of which was
built last fall. Work on the
road was suspended last fall on
account of the scarcity of feed
but will again be resumed in a
very short time.
The road work is being done
by the district by day labor and
on the three miles built several
hundred dollars, or rather half
of the cost has already been
saved over a contract price on
account of the fact that practi-
cally all of the work is being
done by residents of that dis
trict who are also tax payers
and from whom they receive a
dollars worth of labor for every
dollar paid out.
With the completion of this
road, which is under the super
vision of Mr.. Abercrombie he
predicts an exceptionally bright
future for his section of the
country.
The road being constructed is
all on a S percent grade and as
soon as completed he stated, he
for one was going to invest in a
truck and bring his produce to
market by the way of Cotton
wood which could then be done
very easily. At the present
no farm produce of any conse-
quence is taken out of this Sec
ton on account of the prohibi-
tive freight rates and conse-
quently most all of their produce
raised has been in the nature OF
stock feed.
To show that Mr.. Abercrom'
bic is sincere in his assertions
and has faith in that country
we only wish to refer to dea
which he closed last weel
whereby he became the owner
of 760 acres of land adjoining
his home place which was form
erly owned by E. Christensen
now a resident of Montana. Th'
deal involved a sum near th'
$40, 900 mark which is consider
ed a very good price for land il
that section at this time.
When the Joseph people ge
their road to the Rice Cree
Ferry Cottonwood will-ye
must see that they get road a
good to the top of the hill an
) then into the city. Mr.. Abei
crombie stated that beyond a
: question of doubt Cottonwoo
0 was their natural outlet and tina
= they would have good road t

BERT REED DIED OF HEART
TROUBLE IN BAER HOME
IN LEWISTON.

tonwood his home for the past
few years, was found dead in a
bath tub at the John Baer home
in Lewiston Sunday afternoon
at 2 by a roomer in the Baer
home on Normal hill.
Mr.. Reed, while he still main
tanned his home and office in
Cottonwood had gone to Lewis
ton about six weeks ago to do
some papering and painting on
the new home acquired by Mr..
Baer in Lewiston and expected
to again return to Cottonwood
as soon as this work was finish
ed.
Mr.. Reed was in Cottonwood
some three weeks ago and while
here shipped several of his tools
to Lewiston to finish work there
and stated to the writer that he
did not like Lewiston and would
be glad when his work was COM
pleted so that he could return to
Cottonwood.
Mr.. Reed, who was a painter
and paperhanger enjoyed a good
business in this immediate vici-
nifty. He was also an ardent
sportsman when it came to
shooting and took an active part
in the Cottonwood Gun Club, he
being one of the best trap shoot
ers on the Hill" to which
Camas and NeZperce Prairies
are often referred to.
In regard to his death the
Lewiston Tribune had the fol-
lowing to say:
Bert Reed, well known as a
painter and paperhanger in
Lewiston, Vollmer and Cotton
wood, having been located at the
latter point for several years
until he came to Lewiston re-
Gently, died at 2 o'clock yester-
day afternoon at the home OF
John Baer on Fifth avenue
Normal Hill.
Mr.. Reed had recently done
some painting work at the Bael
home and called there yesterday
morning. Mr.. and Mrs. Bael
left shortly thereafter for a tril
to Culdesac and at that time Mr.
Reed was sitting in the home
reading a newspaper. At th'
period he was engaged in paint
ing work about the house h,

correct this wrong impression, and
state that l have always paid the

an office deputy by the county com

Nowadays whenever some scientist discovers a new formula for removing disease, and in this way gets his name before the public, immediately unscrup- ulous. non-ethical manufacturers and others, seeking to gain the benefit or little free advertising, flood the mar ket with a world of worthless imita- tons Since the imitator claims just as much for his imitation as the origina- tor can for his invention. it becomes very hard for the public to differen- tiate between the two.
 The manufacturers of Plant Juice, the new herbal stomach remedy are safely guarding their preparation by novel means and arc only using vol untary testimonials from people in the vicinity in which they live, so that the public cannot be deceived
 Mir. H. c. Freeman, who resides at Vivian, Alac and is one of the best known men in this section of the country. owning a large farm. where he has lived since 1876, said:
 For years l have been q great suf- ferer from stomach trouble; had indi- gestion and dyspepsia so bad that l could hardly keep the lightest kind of food in my stomach; it would ferment and cause gas to form there, and was badly bloated; I was so nervous could not sleep at night and got very weak I felt melancholy and blue and had no ambition or energy to do my work. | would feel just as tired when 1 got up in the morning as when 1 went to bed at night. Nothing helped me until l started to take your Plant Juice. Now I am feeling in the best of health; I have no more pains, sleep fine and feel that I can honestly recommend Plant Juice to others for what it has done for me-"
 Plant Juice is sold in Birmingham at Nortons drug store, Fourth avenue and twentieth street-AdV.

will not participate is Senator Reed. He is opposed to a league in any form.
 While Senator Hitchcock, who is busy preparing to fight W. J. Bryan in his campaign for delegate to the democratic convention from Nebraska, will probably not be present, the conference Saturday will not in any sense. it is explained, be antagonistc to his titular leadership.
 The effort of democrats will be to formulate some plan in that the treaty might be ratified They will discuss how far can we go in yielding" For all hope of securing a league without some of the nullifying reservations of Senator Lodge has been abandoned. An attempt will also be made to eliminate personalities in future proceedings, for it is not denied that the ''amore propre" of Senator Hitchcock, on the one hand, and Senator Lodge, on the other, has acted as an insurrnountable handicap to rati- ffcation in the pnst.
 / The democrats, further. will discuss the recent letter of Viscount Grey, in which he defended the republicans in their eff fort 10 secure an equal voting strength for the United States with Great Britain in the league, and in their effort to "Americanize" the treaty as they charac- terize their effort. This letter has greatly ernboldened the republicans, weakened the hand of the democrats and inordi- . nately embarrassed President Wilson.
 There is a report today, which is not confirmed, that Secretary Lansing, at the instance of the President had complaineal to the crown relative of the 'fndiscre- tion" of Lord Grey. While this report is unfounded, it is understood from relia- ble sources that Great Britain will not ~ohold tirey, but win, on the other hand, express regret that prior to the publica- ton of his letter he did not permit it to fall into the hands of American au- thorities.
 The democrats tonight declare that the conference will be entirely friendly in it's relationship to everybody, and that it was called in the hope that out of the chaos something of tangible form might be devised. No democrat will be bound by anything said or done Formal state ment to this effect. it is understood, was necessary to secure the attendance of certain of the more wary of the demo- cratic forces

French Physician Discovers Serum to Fight Influenza

rosin laboratories. The composition is as follows: Guiacol eucalyptol, cam phor in sterilized olive oil
 An ampule is injected into the mus. cles Of the hip and the process is not painful. There is no counter-indica- tion for the doses administered one ampule day for five or six days is sufficient The injection should be made by the family physician.
 These different medicaments re- spond to all the indications of grippe, since their reunion constitutes an en- ergetic disinfectant of all the mucous membranes"
 Dr. Degerin gives the following for mula of "seronol for one ampule for an adult:
 Guiacol, 0.10 centigr., grafnss
 Eucalyptol. 0.50 centigr, 10 grains
 Camphor, O50 centigr., 10 grains.
 Sterilized olive oil
 Sufficient to make an ampule of three cubic centimeters.
 Tt is impossible to say beforehand d in which cases of grippe pneum on Ia will have to be, fought" continued the physician. But if, in every case of grippe, the 'seronor is employed at the commencement, it will be cured in spite of the pneumonia hich may oc- cur--and which will remain relatively benign"
 pr. Degerin asserts the formula ap- bearing in Medicine Internationale for December. 1915. has been used success fully against the pulmonary complica- lions that follow grippe. It is as fol- lows
 Tincture of opium. $ drops
 Muriate of belladonna, 55 drops.
 Muriate of ammonia, 4 grammes
 syrup of orange flowers, 4 grammes,
 Simple syrup, 75 grammes.
 Distilled water enough to make ,250 grammes.
 Dose: One tablespoon every two hours. night and day
 The essential point" Dr. Degerin adds, 'is to give this potion night and day every two hours, AS soon as the temperature has fallen, the doses are to be given less frequently. The bron- chic secretions are rendered more fluid and the more easily expelled. The respiration is less labored and the cough is less fatiguing.
 The combination of these two means -'seronor and the ammoniacal po- tion--constitutes our method of treat ment and it is employed with constant success, provided it be employed in all cases of grippe at the beginning. It is without danger and has no contra in dication.
 IL must De unuerstoou that m cer v tain cases. grippe leaves the patient in more or less pronounced state of weakness and tonics are indica ted strychnine associated with sparteine, for instance, and, during the grippe. warm drinks, etc.

In all cases in which it las been injected in persons who are -f. txx .t<.1x. xxrt fo children, nurse-they have remained unaffected. although in permanent contact with the sufferers from grippe. and this is the case after two injec- tions of an interval of forty-eight hours"
