PepUpAppetite;;
Relish Your Food

No matter how little you eat, you
should relish your food to feel your
best and get the most enjoyment
out of living. If clogged-up bowels
and inactive kidneys are poisoning
your system, causing you to have a
"puny," finicky appetite, and MAX
ing you feel rundown, sluggish,
without ambition or zest for the
good things in life-take few doses
of good old Williams S. L. K. Form
ula and see how much better you
feel.
Williams S. L. K. Formula is
compounded from the prescription
of former army doctor and con-
tairs valuable ingredients which
accomplish their work in four bene-
fetal ways: AS a mild tonic, stom-
ach stimulant, laxative, and diuretic
stimulant for the kidneys. Many
take Williams S. L. K. Formula also
for indigestion, nausea, loss Of
weight and sallow complexion, where
a mild tonic, laxative, stomachic,
and diuretic is needed. Don't take
too harsh drugs which jolt your sys-
tenn and upset your stomach. Ask
Center Drug Co., Grand Coulee
Center, opposite post office, today
for Williams s. l.. K. Formula. The
first bottle must satisfy or money

Seek To Foster
Sage Hen Flocks
Upland Birds Getting State Pro.
lection As Numbers Trimmed
By Hunters

What few sage hens remain in
washington are receiving particular
attention as a result of the state
game departments attempt to
bring back" this prize upland
game bird.
One of the few remaining flocks
OF sage hens has banded together
and is wintering on a high flat in
central Washington under the
watchful eye of the game protector
in the district. There are about
500 birds in this flock.
These sage hens appear able to
survive on sagebrush for winter
feed, but they are being supplied
with grain by the department. as a
precaution. Considerable predatory
animal hunting is being done by
the game protector caring for this
flock, for the sage hen is a fairly
easy prey for coyotes and other
natural enemies.
Twenty years ago sage hens were
so plentiful in Washington that
they were often hunted for the
market as well as for sport. In re-
cent years their thinned ranks have
been given year round protection
by the state game department.

FOREST GRAZING FEES
ANNOUNCED FOR 1896

The average prices received by
producers in the eleven western
states during 1885 are as follows:
Beef cattle, exclusive of calves
$3.50 per cWt.
Lambs-$684 per cWt.
This information is compiled by
the Bureau of Agricultural Econ
onicS.
The application of these 1896
prices result in 1886 grazing fee
rates which are 90 per cent of the
1881 base rate for cattle and 70
per cent of the 1881 base rate for
sheep.
1t is interesting to note that pric-
es received by western stockmen in
1884 were 1857 per cwt., for beef
and 1851 per cwt., for lambs. Fees
charged for range on the Colville
forest were .O99 per head of cattle
per month in 1885 as compared
with .0162 per head of cattle per
month in 1886, and Obs per head OF
sheep per month in 1885 as COM
pared with .0244 per head OF sheep

/ the nat on.s general fund.

N The nat On,S genoa fund.
The worst conscience the nation
ever had, judging by the years
,otal, must have been 1916 when
S54 ,923.15 was sent in and on the
oasis of population, each citizens
Dad dreams were worth exactly
one-twent' eth of cent
Contributions usually are i'm
.oelled by sudden pangs of con-
eience and are customarily sent
by persons who have used postage
stamps second time, failed to pay
duties on articles, evaded income
taxes, or stolen government prop
erty.
The only way the treasury has
of notifying them of receipt is by
publishing the fact in the press.
The letters that have poured in
over the years after mental tussles
and sleepless nights are manifold
in expression.
Since becoming a Christian"
wrote one man paying a debt to
conscience and the past, Il am duly
impressed to restore a postage
stamp which I used once. May
the Lord bless each one and save
each one and save our sous"
An old civil war soldier gave
5000 to an Indiana pastor to send
to the fund because he had ridden
away on a government mule after
Appomatox and he wanted to
square the debt.
And a girl of the mauve decade,
once wrote to the president:
ITO his Majesty, President Cleve-
land:
II am in dreadful state of
mind About two years ago used
two postage stamps that had been
used before. I did not realize what
I had done until lately. I think of
it night and day. Now, dear Presi-
dent, will you please forgive me. I
will never do it again. Enclosed
please find cost of three stamps
and please forgive me for I was 13
years old and am sorry for what
I have done. From one of your
subjects"
In 1916 one contributor sent $780,
900 in four insta llments and after
the world war an Englishman sent
farthing as his pro rata share of
the British debt.
Only recently have come contri-
buttons ito help balance the bud
get" or to "help in the deficit our
country is facing"
Many requests have been for
warded to treasury officials asking
for loans or gifts from the funds.
They vary from charitable organi-
cations to the man who wanted to
get out of the poor house to write
and illustrate novel.
Once letter in German came
from the depths of the Brazilian
forest, written by a Russian.
The treasury will not allow any
part of the fund to be paid out. 1t
belongs to the taxpayers. And the
contributors don't care much. They
figure on being angels.

Two Initiatives
Up To Voters
Measures To Bar Gas Tax Diver
sion And 40 Mill Law Set
For Ballot

Probability that two initiative
measures will be filed, seeking to
bar diversion of gas tax money for
other purposes than for highway
building and proposal to re-enact
the 40 mill law loomed at Olympia
tn week.
The Washington Good Roads as
ISOLATION is backing the initiative
to stop gas tax diversions. If en-
acted, such measure would pre-
vent use of such funds to retire
emergency relief bonds or other
uses. The 1888 bond issue takes
$1,000O00 a year out of the fund.
Plan New Measure
Real estate operators, fearing
the four arrellel initiative 1CO
would be defeated because of the
3 per cent sales tax feature, are
reported drafting another initia-
tive embodying only a 4O-mill law.
Initiative 100 provided for revision
OF the 40-mill law, but also included
the heavier sales tax, repeal of the
business tax and tax-free homes.
Rather than endanger the 4O-mill
law, which could be amended or
repealed by the 1887 legislature if
another initiative is not passed to
preserve it, hackers of the property
tax limit law are preparing new
measure for filing soon. County
officials went on record against in
itative 100.
Repeal of the business tax and
tax-free homes would be opposed
by schools, old age pensioners, coun-
ties, cities and the state, which all
share in revenues from those
sources.
Would Gut Revenue
The business tax yields about
$5,000,000 year. The tax-free
home section would slash property
tax receipts from 20 to Is per cent
over the entire state, the state tax
commission estimates.
While most of the above govern
mental units would not oppose re-
enacting the 4O-miH law, they
would vote against it rather than
cut their annual revenue about $14,-
0O0,0N. Tax commission officials
say the per cent sales tax would
not raise nearly enough to make up
the loss

Livestock Gain
Shown By Fees
Return To Pre-Depression Price
Levels Indicated By Graz
ing Fee Rise

Rejecting substantially improved
conditions in the range livestock in
dustry in 1885, grazing fees on ma
t4onal forest ranges of Washington
will be increased this year, accord
ing to recent announcement by the
U. S. forest service.
Increases are in accord with the
formula agreed upon by stockmen
and forest officials in 1888, by which
adjustments in grazing fees were
to be made, in proportion to price
changes, from the rates of 1881
adopted as the base.
Gradual return to pre-depression
levels in livestock prices is shown
by beef cattle and lamb price aver
ages for the three years upon
which grazing fees are based, &C
cording to the forest service. Based
upon average sheep prices for the
period of 1920 to 1882 inclusive as
100, 1882 prices rated 46 per cent;
1888, So per cent; 1884, so per cent;
and 1885, rs per cent.
Similarly using cattle prices from
1921 to 1880 inclusive as the base,
1882 prices rated 62.4; 1888 rated So;
1884, So; and 1885, 80 per cent.
New Fees Fixed
Following this accepted formula
national forest grazing fees this
year are set at 80 per cent of the
1881 base rate for cattle and Is per
cent of the 1881 base rate for sheep
This means that the 1886 grazing
fee for cattle will be 10 per cent
less and the sheep fee Is per cent
less than the 1881 base fee, but that
the 1886 cattle fee will be 81 per
cent higher and the sheep fee "a
per cent higher than the respective
fees in 1885, the forest service
states.
The forest service points out that
rates were determined from price
averages received by producers in
the eleven western states during
1885 calculated by the U. S. bureau
of agricultural economics.
The average national forest graz
ing fee in 1896 for cattle is 1905
cents and for sheep 1856 cents per
head per month, the forest service
states. Further adjustments are
made in different localities accord
ing to quality and accessibility of
the range.

The Framed Case
OF Mike Lin az

At eleven O'Clock, May q. four
hours before the decision OF the Ohio
Supreme Court on his case was releas-
ed, Mike Lindway, union man and for
mer master mechanic OF the National
Screw & Manufacturing Company OF
Cleveland, Ohio, was picked up by
detectives and whisked away to the
State Penitentiary to serve twenty
years on a trumped up charge OF pos
sessing dynamite bombs.
There was no need for such illegal
kidnapping, as a couple OF hours be-
fore, Mike Lindway had dropped in
at his union hall to pay his dues and
ask that he be informed at once on
any news Tor, he said, 81 don't want
to risk having someone get their pro-
perty tied up on my bond"
The decision, which is being appeal
ed to the United States Supreme Court
by Attorney Morris H. Wolf for the
General Defense Committee, establish
es an unprecedented case for manufac-
turing such frame-ups. The constitu-
tional guarantee regarding search and
seizure and the body OF law built up to
guarantee that such seizures are valid
evidence and not plants, is compile
tely flouted in it, according to attorn-
eys who have read it. One comment
ed 1T is so reactionary it ought tc
be mimeographed."
The case arose out Of the Nationa.

1885. Mike, who had had unionism in
his blood since the days he had been a
coal miner, wa among the first to join
Metal and Machinery Workers Indus
trial Union No. $40 Of the |. w. w
when it organized the plant. The con-
fidence his fellow workers had in theii
master mechanic was largely instrum-
entail in organizing the place, accord
ing TO those in charge Of the unior
campaign. In negotiations the com
pany promised a ten per cent increase
II wages, but the Associated Industr-
les, Cleveland's strike-breaking agency
sold" the company the idea Of going
back on the promise. A bitterly fought
strike resulted. Mike was a tower Of
strength in the fight, and took it as just
another dirty trick Of the employing
class when detectives went to his home
without warrant, and when no witness
es were present, and came u saying
they had found a "bomb factory in
his cellar. They could as readily have
found brass monkeys or dead China
men.
Mike was tried in the papers with
photographs Of the evidence and full
page display ads by the Associated In
dustries and once such evidence was
admitted by the court, he was convict
ed by a jury OF %shuddering old women
The General Defense Committee, feel
| ing that the great issue was the ad-
instability Of such evidence, fought il
out on this basis, and won a reversal
in the Appellate Court. The prosecu-
ton appealed further and secured The
present monstrous decision from tht
State Supreme Court. To keep Mix
Lindway home with his wife and will
little Mary that he so loves, and to pro
tect labor from the application Of thi
