Quickky Puts a Quietus on a Cough
or Cold.
You save money when you buy
Foley's Honey and Tar Compound, be
cause only a few doses are needed to
check a cold, stop a cough, and soothe
the raw inflamed surfaces. Foley's
Honey and Tar Compound has always
been a favorite family medicine with
particular people, because of the en
tire absence of opiates or harmful
drugs, because it is mildly laxative,
instead of being constipating, and be
cause delicate persons and children
take it without its ever disturbing
the stomach in any way. It has su
perior healing qualities, and is quick
ly and thoroughly effective for coughs,
colds, croup, whooping cough, la
grippe and bronchial coughs, stuffy
wheezy breathing, and for any sore or
inflamed condition of the throat and
lungs. So many people who do not
cough at all during the day time,
find themselves unable to sleep at
night owing to a tickling throat and
hacking cpugh, A few sips pf Foley's
Honey and Tar Compound will en
tirely relieve this condition. It is
also excellent for the chronic coughs
of elderly people. In 25c, 50c, and
$1.00 sizes. The genuine is in a yel
low package. Remember the name,
Foley's Honey and Tar Compound,
and do not accept any other.

Baker, March 18. The biggest con
test for water rights ever instituted
in Baker county was settled put of
court by stipulation late yesterday aft
ernoon, thereby disposing of a contest
involving the water rights of 12,000
on Killimacue creek, Muddy creek and
Rock creek in which more than 200 lit
igants were engaged. The end came
suddenly, after testimony had been
taken for more than a week and af

come is a sweeping victory for the
farmers who showed so conclusively
i their contention that the Waggy
, ditch had been abandoned for 30 years
j that the contestees had . no further
chance of winning and a call for a com
promise was made.
The lands are all in the Powder
Valley west of Haines. The farmers
showed they had been using the wa
ters of Rock Creek since 1868. The
contestees which are the Rock Creek
& North Powder Irrigation company,
Davis Wilcox and others claimed
prior rights by virtue of the purchase
in 1900 of the Waggy ditch which had
been built from Killimacue creek to
Muddy creek in 1865. - The farmers
showed that the Waggy ditch had
been abandoned for 30 years, after
it had been used for mining purpos
es and on this showing won their
contention. The contestees claimed
, the right to 1000 inches of water in
Rock creek by virtue of this pur
j chase, holding the right to take the
waters from Rock creek through the
Wilcox ditch, below the junction of
Rock creek and Killimacue creek.
In the stipulation the contestees.
abandon all claim and right to the
priority date as represented by the
Waggy ditch and agree that priority
claim to any water which the Killi
macue Lake reservoir and Rock Creek
Irrigation company may store shall
be the rule and the contestants agree
to dismiss all further grounds for
suit.
The farmers were represented in
the action by Attorney Frank B.
Mitchell and the contestees by Attor
neys O. B. Mount and Joseph J. Heil-ncd,
Several other cases in litigation
are directly affected by .the outcome
of this suit.

W. H. Holmes of the Dccorah, la.,
Journal says: "I have been a suffer
er from Piles and Hemmorhoids for
years. I got no relief until my
druggist recommended MeritSl Pile
Remedy. Before I had taken half the
package the distress was gone and I
have had no trouble since. I would
not take a thousand dollars and be
back in former condition."
