ARE YOU RUN DOWN?
Awaken to the Danger and Aid the
Weakened Kidneys.

Kidney sickness often runs you
down to the verge of collapse before
you know the cause. When you
seem unable to pin your mind to any
task, your back aches and you can
not do an ordinary days work, it is
time to ask yourself this question:
care my kidneys working right"
The answer may be easily found.
Weak kidneys slacken their
filtering work and the uric acid cir
culates with the blood, in many
cases, attacking brain, nerves,
muscles and vital organs. Don't
wait for the serious trouble-begin
using Doan's Pills when you feel the
first backache or first notice urinary
disorders. This remedy has given
new life and strength to thousands.
Proof of merit in Hurley citi-
zen's statement.
Mrs. Glenn Woodford, SO Iron St.,
says; my kidneys gave out and |
was in misery, for backache was
sapping my strength. When | did
any work, shooting twinges went
through my kidneys. My kidneys
didn't act right. Doan's Pills put
an end to backache and strengthened
my kidneys. Doan's cured me of
the complaint
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get
Doan's Pills-the same that Mrs.
Woodford had Foster-Milburn Co.,

he came up on the train to Flagstaff,
he was riding in Pullman ear, deep
lv absorbed in a book. The porter
scrutinized him very carefully, and
said 'Scuse me, senator, anythin' All

piled in the negative.

asked, "Shall all open de window,

was "no, thanks"

George T. Harrington dropped in
with a story about the way a farmer
he used to know treated his poreines
to keep them satisfied-the some IL
mstrating pretty well the philosophy
OF some people.
This farmer never was troubled
like his neighbors with his hogs get
ting out. He explained that he built
his hog fences very crooked. With
queer angles, leaving numerous holes
through which a hog could pass but
which left him in the field. He
thought he got out, and so was per
fectly satisfied.

NEW OIL WELL

President Hatfield of the Hatfield
No. 2 Oil Co. that the
rig has been completed and that the
well will be spudded in within the
next few days.
This company owns n government
permit in the Eight-Mile Lake struc-
ture and biologists have reported
very f~avorably upon 1t as an oil
structure.
Well No. l will be drilled In the
southeast quarter of section 26.
only a short distance from the Arm
strong we'll. drilled several years
since N in which considerable oil
was struck.
On the Hatfield Oil Co.'S lease two
wells have been drilled and both
have come in gas. This new well
is en- land adjoining the Hatfield
Co. on the north and as it is con
sidoably nearer the edge of the
structure it is believed hat chances
of hitting oil are very favorable.
Drilling will be under the super,
vision Of President Hatfield. one OF
the best drillers in this section. I'm.
der his direction stockholders will
be assured of a real run for their
money"

COUNTY
HAS EQUALIZED
TAX ASSESSMENT

For the purpose of raising revenue
with which to run state. county,
school districts and cities 1t is neces-
sary that valuations be placed by
the county assessor. These valua-
tons must be equalized as between
different kinds OF property II taxa
ton Is to be fair and uniform.
The duties OF a county assessor
that the assessor know values and
require experience and also requires
that he be able to- properly value
many kinds of property.
Carbon county during the past -four
years has been exceptionally for
tunate in having as county assessor
a Ia who thoroughly understands
Valuations. n man h Is able to
place a fair and just valuation upon
property to be assessed. VIII +.
Daley, the present assessor, through
experience gained in the contracting
business and because OF his absolute
fairness in all matters. has proven
to be the ideal assessor.
During the time MIR. Daley has
served as county assessor the total
assessed valuation OF the county has
increased approximately $4,000. 900,
the total being better than $1,000
900 this year. Despite this increase
In total valuation there has been an
equalization and a decrease In the
assessed valuation placed upon land
and livestock. Land values have been
decreased from l2h to % percent.
Livestock values have also been con-
s%iderably decreased.
With Mr.. Daley as county assessor
the taxpayers are assured that their
assessed valuation will be fair and
just and that no favoritism Is being
shown in the assessment for AKA

fellow, who was about five feet ten
inches tall, entered the station. Col
Inns was sitting in a chair in the
station when the hold up entered.
The hold up demanded that Collins
keep his seat and not move but did
not ask him to hold up his hands.
Collins began talking and asked the
thief II that was his game and why
he didn't carr an honest living like
the rest of the citizens do. The
hold up replied that "he needed the

QeSlTeu.
For the past three years the
Union Pacific has beer operating
this railroad and it was the general
impression that the option to buy
would be exercised and that the
Union Pacific would continue to op-
crate the railroad.
A couple of weeks since the Union
Pacific notified Morse Bros. that the
road would not be purchased and
that on October 31st it would be
turned back to the owners.
In reply to this notification from
the Union Pacific Morse Bros. a few
days since sen the following tele-
gram to the U. p:
"As bond holders of the Saratoga
and Encampment Railway, we made
a lease with option to purchase to
the Union Pacific railroad, Novem-
Der l. 1921. This option required
us to deliver to- your company an ir-
r%evocable order on the trustee to
foreclose the mortgage and also that
We become the purchasers at such
foreclosure sale which we did at a
cash outlay of over 10000 so that
we could deliver fee title to your
company under the option to pur-
chase. The purchase price of the
property was fixed at S275,000 be-
ing the junk value Of the road as
agreed by parties thereto. Your
telegram of the 18th instant In
forms us-thnt you refuse to exercise
the option to- purchase. II order
that the public who use this road as
well as your system to get their pro-
duce to market may be served, we
hereby offer to lease o the road
for another period on the same
yearly rental as lease now existing"
Last Saturday afternoon at Sara
toga there was a meeting Of Platte
Valley residents at which plans to
ave the railroad were thoroughly
discussed. Attorney Armstrong at
tended the meeting and presented to
those present the status OF the mat
ter and the need of action being
taken Immediately.
, II was decided at this meeting
that Attorney Armstrong should go
to Washington Immediately and ap-
pear before the Interstate Commerce
Commission for the purpose Of Sc
curing the cooperation OF that body
in keeping the roadroad In opera
tion.
