It is held that "the right to water,

the findings of the Circuit Court for

ASOTIN, Wash., Dec. 13. (Special.)
The second annual exhibit of the
Asotin County Poultry Show at Clarks
ton has closed its doors after another
very successful exhibition. Over 600

Spokane, highest scoring pen in
American class; Leo Spohn, of Spokane,
winner of the most blue ribbons in pig
eon department; E. H. Rosenkans, of
Colfax. highest scoring pen in the
Mediterranean class.
The experiences of many of the
poultry-raisers of this part of the
county are Interesting. Mrs. Ira Ru
rark, of Clarkston, began last year
with a very small flock of birds, and
now has one of the largest flocks in
the Clarkston County. The beginning
is the hardest for the small chick, and
to start them correctly and with cars
means the best of- chickens in the
future. For many weeks they should
be given the best of care so that pests
of no sort could Infect them. She be
lieves that once they are free from
pests it is not hard to keep them in
good condition.
W. W. Herrick, who took many
prizes this year. probably has the
largest chicken farm in the county, and
states that he has had" great success
this year with his poultry.

Michael Murray Then Leaves- 3Ioun

to Return to Retreat
When Hand Heals.
VICTORIA. B. C, Dec. 14. (Special.)
The case of Michael McMurray, at pres
ent a patient in the General Hospital
at Whitehorse. T. T., where he is being
treated for decaying fingers, the result
of freezing, is almost without parallel
in the annals of Canadian frontier his
tory. Up to four weeks ago-'McMurray was
located in the very heart of a vast ter
ritory, explored only by himself, J.50
miles northeast of Teslln Post and near
the headwaters of the Dease River. He
had been there, five years, making an
occasional trip to the post of Taylor &
Drury at Teslln for supplies. It being
his habit to carry out on his back
enough supplies to last him two years,
as he depended principally . upon his
rifle for his food.
On the way out last Spring two fin
gers of his right hand were frozen. As
a result, the fingers began to decay
sometime during the Summer, and to
remove the dead bone McMurray tied
a strong string around the bone, fast
ened the other end to a tree and with
a determined jerk, pulled the bones of
both' fingers off at the first Joint. The
injured digits did not heal, but McMur
ray went ahead with his work of pros
pecting, mining and hunting.
Three weeks ago he returned to
find his cabin In a heap of. ashes, It
having been consumed by. fire in his
absence. With a chunk of the frozen
meat he struck out for Taylor &
Drurys post. 160 miles away. At the
end of six days he reached the trad
ing post more dead than - alive. . At
the post he was cared for for a few
days and then sent on to White Horse
via Atlln, arriving Friday of last
week.
He at oncel entered the hospital,
where Dr. Cade found It necessary to
remove more bone from each of the
fingers before there could be any pro
cess of healing. McMurray will re
turn to his isolated retreat as soon
as he gets out of the hospital, he
having located no fewer . than. six
promising quartz ledges. five of
which carry free gold and the sixth
copper and other materials.

smelter at Sumpter was purchased by
W. E. Mennen, of New Tork, ' for
17,050. -

distant smelters is not possible.

Tablets.
Do You Use Tkemt If Not, WbjT
DYSPEPSIA is the skeleton at tho
feast; the death's head at the festive
board. It turns cheer into cheerless
ness. gaiety into gloom and festivity
into farce It is the ghost in the home,
haunting every room and. hitting at
every fireplace, making otherwise mer
ry people shudder and fear. . If there
is one disease more than another that
Bhould be promptly attacked and
worsted, it is DYSPEPSIA It is the
very genius of unhapplness. unrest
and 111 nature. In time it will turn
the best man almost into a demon of
temper and make a good woman some
thing to be dreaded and avoided.
It is estimated that half of one's
troubles in this world comes of a stom
ach gone wrong of Dyspepsia, in
short. Foods taken into the. stomach
and not properly cared for; converted
int,o substances that the system has no
use for and hasn't any notion what to
do with. It is irritated and vexed,
pained and annoyed, and in a little
while this state of things becomes
general and directly there is "some
thing bad to pay." The whole system
Is in a state of rebellion and yearns to
do something- rasli and disagreeable
and a fine case of Dyspepsia is estab
lished and opens up for business.
It you were bitten by a mad dog,
you would not lose a day in going to
a cure; do you know you should be
Just as prompt with Dyspepsia? Rab
ies is a quick death, dyspepsia is a
slow one; this Is about all the differ
ence. There is a cure for rabies and
so there is for Dyspepsia and one cure
was about as difficult to discover as
the other. Pasteur found out one and
the F. A. STUART COMPANY the
other, and it is no longer a secret, as
it is made public in 'the wonderful
Tablet, which so many are using and
praising today. One writer says of it:
"Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are little
storehouses of digestion which mix
with the stomach Juices, digest food,
retingle the mucous membrane and its
nerve centers, give to the blood a great
wealth of digestive fluids, promote di
gestion and stays by the stomach until
all its duties are complete."
Some cures are worse than the dis
ease; they demand This. That and the
Other and the patient despairs at the
requirements; but not. so with the
Stuart Dyspepsia Tablet; they are easy
and pleasant to take and no nausea or
ill feeling follows. There Is none of
this "getting all-over-the-mouth" like
a liquid- and making . the remedy a
dread. Another writer says:
"It matters not what the condition
of the stomach, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets only improve the Juices and bring
quiet to the whole digestive canal, of
which the stomach is the center."
Forty thousand physicians use these
tablets in their practice and every

UTILITY AND ART
Anything that is really artistic is
beautiful and generally durable. The
most delicate and artistically construct -ed
watches are the ones that you can
generally bank on for accuracy In. keep
ing time and longevity. The natural
life of a good watch, . if properly at- ,
tended to (oiled and regulated) will
about equal that of a human being wlm ,
is properly attended to (regulated, oiled
and patched up). 99 per cent of al hu
man ills come from the stomach and :
a large percentage of stomach troubles
come from defective or diseased teeth. ',
A man cannot have good health unless
he can and does properly masticate his
food. You can't do it right with the
average dental work. Such makeshifts
and nuisances as the plate, partial plate
and bridgework. You can with Alve
olar Teeth.
' Briefly, the Alveolar Method is this:
If you have two or more teeth left in -either
Jaw, we can supply all that you
have lost with teeth as good, solid and
sound as the best set of natural teeth
ever grown In any human being's
mouth, and a whole lot more beautiful
than nature's best product, without re
sorting to such makeshifts as partial
plates and the unsanitary bridgework.
Alveolar Teeth are not only beautiful,
but they are comfortable and durable.
We guarantee them to last a lifetime,
where the longevity of bridgework is
seldom ever longer than five or six
years, and generally a good deal less.
It is never guaranteed to last by anv
first-class dentist who is responsible
and reliable, because all first-class den
tists will tell you that bridgework at
best is doubtful. It is a painful opera
tion and gives trouble from the time it
is put in the mouth until It has to be
taken out. In many cases where bridge
work is impossible, and all cases
where it is possible, we can re
place your missing teeth with perfect
Alveolar Teeth. The pain incident to
this work is practically none; the ex
pense is the same as the best bridge
work but in satisfaction there is no
comparison between the two.
We have samples in our offices to
show at all times hundreds of patients,
here in our home city to refer to. Ex
aminations and ' booklets on Alveolar
dentistry are absolutely free.
Remember that in addition to our
specialty. Alveolar Dentistry and curing
Pyorrhea (loose teeth), we are experts
in every branch of dentistry from the
simple filling up.
