' Reviewing the exorbitant lumber prices fixed by the Puget Hound lum ber trust, the Seattle Btar Bays: Local mill owners are busy today trying to explain thut there has not been any material advance In the price of lumber, and that where It has been advanced It has been amply Justified. The unprecedented boost that the prices have been given by the local lumber( trust, otherwise known as the Seattle Lumber Manufacturers' Ex change, Is worrying capitalists and contractors and hundreds of citizens who contemplate building homes dur ing, the coming summer. The prices, If maintained, will un doubtedly discourage the erection of buildings and persons who are In a position to do so, will In many cases postpone the building of residences to a more opportune time. It Is generally believed that the lumber trust has overstepped Itself and thut a full In prices Is sure to come. Coming as It does at the time that the price of cement has been doubled, it seriously embarrasses the building situation. Contractors are now pay lng 14 a barrel for cement they could obtain a short time agofor 2. It means that they must abandon its use to a large extent and fall back upon tone. The contractors who have been the first to feel the effect of the Increase In lumber prices cannot attempt to explain It, even taking Into consider tion the rapid Increase In the price of logs. Go Vp Aftr Banquet. "Prices are boosted about II a 1000 every time the mlllmen hold a banquet." suld one of them this morn ing. "That seems to be about all there Is to It. It Ib Impossible to get a reduction In the standard prices from the mills In this city. The only way to break them Is to place your oraer wun some ui inu iimu mm. in the woods a few miles outside the city." Speaking frankly, but not for pub llcatlon, the owner of one of the large local mills, who Is not governed by the prices of the local trust, admitted this morning that the prices were out' rageous. "Whew, no wonder they're making a howl," he ejaculated when a re porter showed that the latest price list. "No. 1 flooring, $30! It could be sold for 123. Fir shlplap, 114; It Isn't worth more than $11. No. bevel siding, $25; It Isn't worth more than $19." Another advance In prices Is to be a .1 n n,i Ma v 1 R KHOl M) RAISE GOOD HORSES. Walla Walla Mail Says Every Farmer Should Bo a Hnrtteman. Several prominent stockmen of Walla Walla county have for a long time been thinking along the lines of what Is the most valuable horse to raise, says the Walla Walla Union. At a meeting of the stock growers' society, held In Spokane last week,, the topic was given much thought and consideration. Tho question has been asked, can a farmer raise and handle with profit high-bred trotting horses? M. W. Johnson, a well known horse man, succeeded In answering the auestlon In such a way ns to leave no possible doubt that It cun be done Mr. Johnson says: "Kvery farmer should have on his farm at least one team of standnrd-bred trotting mares; and, if properly handled and mated with first-class trotting bred stallions, they will mnke him more clear profit Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney and Bladder Trouble.

Every colt out of them by a well-bred trotting stallion will sell for at least as much as any other kind of horse, with always a chance to get a fancy road horse that will sell for from $300 to $2600 or a high-class trotter that will sell for even more. "Your draft colt, If sound and a good Individual, and as big as a box car, will bring you $200 when a 4 or 6-year-old, and you can never hope to get much more, but with the trotter you get Just as much for the ordinary ones as you will for your druft horse, and when a high-class one comes your way you can buy a farm with the price or pay the mortgngo on the one you have. "Another mlstukun Idea Is that the farmer who breeds a trotter must spend a lot of money to find out If he has a race horse. If your colt Is the real article he will tell you a hundred tlmeB before he Is even broken, ahd it will not cost you a cent to know It. "Dont delude yourself Into think ing because a colt Is well bred he must be a race horse, and spend a lot of money on him before he shows you something to make you think so. Break, and manner htm, and when he can pull your old buggy down the road fast enough to tear the wheels off of it, then, take him to a good trainer before you spoil him, spend a reasonable amount for his education and he will leturn you five dollars for every one you lay down for him."

I Original Project Was to Redeem 24,- 000 Acres of Land by a Forty-Five MHO Ditch, 1 lucked by a $200,000 Bond Ihmic There Is a Judgment of 980,000 Against Uie t'onijiuny Now, llumpcred by Quo Wurruuto lrocewlliig Property and Rights EttMily Worth tlio Judgment. The following from the Yakima He- public gives information relating to the history and present status of the famous Kittitas project: Another phase of the celebrated and prolonged Middle Kittitas Irriga tion litigation will be heard In the superior court at Ellensburg some time this month. This suit is without doubt the most famous case in the history of Kittitas county. Twice it has been before the supreme court, and It is expected that this tribunal will hove to render several more opinions on the various phases aris ing before the case Is finally settled. The history of the case Is Interest ing. The Middle Kittitas Irrigation district was organized to reclaim 24. 000 acres of land by the construction of a ditch 45 miles long. For the construction of the main canals and laterals a $200,000 bond Issue was voted. Clough & Graves of Spokane were awarded the issue and Peter Costello of Spokane was awarded the contract for the building of the canal. After working about two months In 1894 Costello learned that the bonds had not been sold, Clough & Graves falling In their deal with eastern peo ple for the Issue, so he quit work. Many workmen were owed for their labor and various business houses had received no pay for the supplies fur nished. These claims are now out lawed. Costello claimed that the district was Indebted to him for $42,000 for the work done. He assigned his claim to E.,J. Dyer of Spokane, who com menced action to recover. After the case had been heard twice by the su preme court Dyer received Judgment which, with the principal and inter est, at thjs time amounts to approxi mately $80,000. Recently A. L. Slemmnns of Ellens burg, Austin Mires of Ellensburg and T. L. Stiles of Seattle, Instituted quo warranto proceedings In the superior court to have the organization of the district declared void. They allege that the petition to the commissioners for the organization of the district Old not have the requis ite number of names of freeholders attached; that the petition was signed by a number who were not qualified to do so; that the names of other per sons wero attached without their knowledge or consent, and that the notice required before the petition was submitted was not -given. A demurrer has been entered by Dyer, and this will be heard this month. Dyer has also Instituted man damus proceedings to compel the dis trict to sell the bonds. About 12.000 of the 24,000 acres to be reclaimed by the Middle Kittitas ditch are now under the Cascade ca nal, while more of the land is under irrigation from various creeks. The Middle Kittitas ditch will prob ably never be built The district Is a wealthy" one. and should Dyer even tually win his $80,000 Judgment would be satisfied. DRY LAND ALFALFA THRIVES. I'idon County Fanner Secures a Good Stand tho First Ycnr. The La Grande Observer gives the following account! of on experiment with dry-land alfalfa: Following the system of dry fnrm Ing introduced In Oregon by the late H. C. Judson, Industrial agent of the O. R. & N., and known as the Camp bell system, George F. Wright, the Washington Rulch rancher, sowed a Held of alfalfa with the dry seed which Mr. Judson Imported from Ger many and cultivated It under the dry system. Mr. Wright reports now that this alfnir.i is growing and Is higher and healthier than the other alfalfa which he Is raising by Irrigation. He is a firm believer In the dry-farming sys tem as applied to bench lands and looks for splendid results not only In his immedlnte neighborhood, on his own ranch, but all through the coun try where others have tried the ex periment. The fact that this seed sprouted and grew luxuriantly through all the dry, wet, cold and snow of the post eight months, fully demonstrates what con be accomplished by scientific methods. M. S. Bond and other far mers east of Raker City are also work ing on theso lines and are obtaining good results. The Wright alfalfa experiment Is believed to be the first successful ef. fort in this county. "HI.IXD PIGS" MVLTIPLY. Curse of Liquor Trnfric Reoomes Vn bearable nt TonpcnUh. J. L.

Tucker conducts a drug store nt Toppenish. The conditions on the reservation nnd particularly In and around Top penish nre continually growing worse, Blind pigs are being conducted Indis criminately at Toppenish. A great many complnlnts have been filed with the prosecuting attorney about the existing state of affairs down there, but up until the present cose, which has been brought against Tucker, there was not sufficient evi dence to warrant an arrest. For some time Sheriff Grant has been collecting evidence for the state In the Tucker coso, and when every Women in Our Hospitals Appalling Increases in the Number of Operations Performed Each Year How Women May Avoid Them. z Going through the hospitals in our large cities one is surprised to find such a large proportion of the patients lying on those snow-white beds women and girls, who are either awaiting or recovering from serious operations. Why should this be the case? Sim ply because they have neglected them selves. Female troubles are certainly on the increase among the women of tliis country they creep upon them unawares, but every one of those patients in the hospital beds had plenty of warning in that bearing-down feel ing, pain at leftor right of the abdomen, nervous exhaustion, pain in the small of the back, dizziness, flatulency, die- filacements of the organs or irregular ties. All of these symptoms are indi cations of an unhealthy condition of the female organs, and if not heeded the penalty has to be paid by a danger ous operation.

It Is said that on last Sunday Top penish was a veritable hell hole. There were drunken Indians and drunken white men Intermingling and "painting the town," and that in spite of the rigid precautions taken to sup press the blind pig traffic, whiskey was gotten to the Indians In some manner. The majority of the people nt Top penish deplore the conditions that ex ist there. They have been urging that some steps should be taken to relieve the situation, and Prosecuting Attor ney Krutz has determined to exert his authority to bring some of the guilty parties to Justice. The Toppenish situation has, also caused Superintendent Lynch much annoyance, and he has repeatedly taken up the matter with the Indian department at Washington In the hope of getting some Instructions that would warrant him in proceeding against these people, but as the gov ernment is slow to act In nil mntteres. It has been thought advisable to givj the state authorities a chance to do something at once. TO KILL WOLVES AND COVGARS. A Govcmiiien Agent to Find a Way lo Protect Cattlemen. Death to wolves and mountain lions on the forest reserve ranges Is tho edict Issued by the bureau of forestry of the agricultural department, says Washington dispatch. Vigorous complnlnts have been made to the forest service by stockmen of the loss of cattle nnd sheep, more particular ly in the Wichita reserve in Oklahoma and the Gila reserve in Wyoming. The ravages of these animals nre de clared to seriously threaten the live stock industry. Of the two pests the wolf is the most destructive, and to It the forest service will devote the most nttentlon.

I had ulceration and Inflammation of the female organs and was in a serious condition. " My health was completely broken down and the doctor told me that if I was not op erated upon I would die within six months. I told him I would have no operation but would try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. He tried to influence me against it but I tent for the medicine that same day and began to use it faithfully. Within five days I felt relief but was not entirely cured until I used it for some time. " Your medicine is certainly fins.
