TMIS WOMAN' ACCUMULATES FORTUNE IX FEW YEARS Spokane, Wash. From compara tively nothing to the ownership of over 1900 ncre3 of excellent wheat land in Lincoln county in the short period of 10 years is the remarkable record made by Mrs. Joseph Ditmar, the "wheat king" of Reardan, Wash. The history of Mrs. Dltmar's business life for the 10 years reads like a ro mance. Everything that Bhe acquir ed more than doubled in value. Thirty-two years ago the Dltmars left Oregon and settled near Davenport. At that t ine, there were not many houses In Spokane. After a few years tho family moved near Reardan, where Mrs. Ditmar has lived ever since. In 1902, without funds, but believing in the future of tho Big Eend country, Mrs. Ditmar purchas ed 720 acres of land under contract. She was not able to pay a cent down, but by hard work, good management and abundant crops she was able to pay for the land In three years. From 1905 to the present time she has grad ually acquired land until today she . owns more land than any other wo man in the state. Her land at the present time is estimated at a value of $150,000. Next year she expects to average at least 40 bushels per acre, which will give her a return of something over $53,000. V. B. Jinklns of Pilot Rock tran sacted business hero today.

Whilo searching the Shoal creek hills for herbs he Intended to use In compounding a medical preparation, Harrington discovered a sparkling ob ject near the water's edge. An ex amination disclosed it to be calamine. Further Investigation showed a rich vein. As the ore !ay on the steep bank of the creek only a few feet from the water he realized the impossibility of developing the prospect in the usual manner.

It is the only medicine that is able-to get down into the circula tion and entirely remove the catarrhal matter and impurities which produce the trouble. A3 long a3 the mucous membranes and tissues are kept inflamed and irritated by this impure and infected condition of the blood Catarrh will remain. It3 di.sareeable and dangerous symptoms, of ringing noi.se3 in the cars, mucua dropping back into the throat, headaches, watery eyes, difficult breathing, and even stomach disorders and weakened health, Cannot be ferma nently relieved until the blood is purified. Nothing equals S. S. S. for this purpose. It goes down to the very root of the trouble, and removes every particle of the catarrhal matter from the blood and enriches this vital fluid so that all the mucous surfaces are supplied with nutritive, healthful qualities, in stead of being constantly irritated and inflamed by impurities in the circula tion. Then the symptoms begin to pass away and when S. S. S. has entirely purified the blood, Catarrh is permanently cured and the general health, greatly built up.

The chamber of com merce has learned that Xorth Caro lina, Ohio and Missouri each boasts a town named Spokane. Wherefore, R. J. Maclean, secretary of the local chamber of commerce declared with emphasis that he would communicate with names similar to this select new ones. In a conversation with a vis itor recently Mr. Maclean w?s inform ed that the city by the falls had no corner on the name Spokane. The secretary immediately dictated a let ter to the postoffice department which elicited the Information that Missouri, Xorth Carolina and Ohio have towns that have taken unto themselves the classic Indian appela tion. "There should be but one Spo kane," declares Secretary Maclean "There is but one San Francisco in this country. Complications have arisen from the duplication of Port land, Vancouver and other cities." STI DF.XTS FFIIXISII STATISTICS FOTl LEGISLLATOUS TO THE RESCUE li i ii mmi Hi ii in ii ! ir-- -T.rg r-vnm.
