Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney and Bladder Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discouragesandlessensatnbition; beauty, vigor ana cheerful ness soon disappear when the kidneys are ' out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has I become so prevalent that it is not uncom- ' mon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kidneys. If the child urinates toooften, if the unne scalds the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it, thecause of the diffi culty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made miser able with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.

The Olympic club of San Francisco, announces that It will send a team to the great track met of the A. A- U. at the Jamestown exposition at Norfolk, Va., rxt year. That announcement will seriously affect college athletics In the northwest and the program of the University of Oregon In particu lar. Since Beit Kerrigan launched the scheme to send an all-northwest team to the meet, many promising athletes from Utah and California have cast longing eyes toward the northwest. Albert Munn, the great all-around athlete of the Oakland high school, and Smith, the half-mller of Lick high school, San Francisco, were both on the string for the University of Ore gon. They want to be trained by "Hill" Hayward, who brought Dan Kfilly out, and they want a chance to compete for world'! honors In the exposition. Kelly ami Sncrilgnr Will .Meet.

Over 8000 nogs and 600 Cattle Fat tened on Home Rained Corn Tills Year Over 2200 Acres In That Vi cinity Devoted to Bean Crop Com Land Worth $30 More Per Acre. Than Straight Wheat Land. "Ten years ago the utilization of the Potlatch soil each year without the routine of summer fallow and wild oats was considered a perplexing problem," said U. S. O. Evans, the well known Kendrlck resident to the Lewlston Tribune. "However, by careful experimenting and Judicious cultivation of the soil In a few years It was no longer a problem and beans would grow In plentiful quantities. "Some farmers went even farther and made experiments with corn cul tivation. Small patches of from two to five acres were set aside as corn fields. The corn proved to be of a very Inferior quality and many grew discouraged because It was thought the season was too short and the cli matic conditions unfavorable. This almost put an end to corn culture. "But there are always enterprising spirits and despite crop failures a few of these farmers continued the exper iment. Their persistency has been re warded with well paying crops. The close of the present year shows that 2000 acres of corn was planted, care fully cultivated and harvested, pro ducing an average yield of 40 bushels per acre. This corn with a few ex ceptions, was and is being fed to stock. "The Potlatch country, directly tributary to Kendrlck, has shipped, over 2000 head of hogs and 600 head of cattle, all of. which were fattened with this corn. This stock has net ted the feeder over 1 cent per pound for all his corn and fodder and for all roughage during the winter. "While the Potlatch farmer Is fat tening his hogs for the market, he Is also harvesting his beans, which have proved most profitable. The bean acreage was placed at 2200 acres for the present year, averaging 1100 pounds per acre, nnd at the present price of 2 3-4 cents per pound a hand some profit was made after the cost of taxes, living expenses, labor, etc., had been deducted. "This proposition of raising a cul tivated crop on the soil In place of per mitting the ground to lay Idle for a whole year Is one of the great advan tages to the. Potlatch farmer. His soil Is better cultivated, the weeds and wild oats are kept down and the fol lowing grain crop Is much better than when the ground Is summer fallowed. This corn and bean district Is small, not being over 200 miles square In ex tent, and Is peculiarly adapted to these two products. "This same land Is worth 320 and 330 more per acre than land upon which small grain alone can be raised. A Potlatch farmer does not have to miss one crop In a lifetime In order to summer fallow the ground. Nearly every farmer on the various ridges tributary to the Potlatch river raises corn and beans as a cultivated sum mer fallow crop Instead of permitting the soil to lay Idle and not produce anything for two-fifths of the time they farm the land."- If You Don't Know What to Give Give a Peoples Warehouse Merchandise Certificate-Good as Gold anywhere in this store.

Snipes, one of the pio neers of the northwest, died at 11:30 today at his home In Seattle, aged about 77 years, says the Yakima Re public. He had been III but a short time, according to Information receiv ed here. The funeral will be held from his former residence In Seattle at 2:30 Friday and the body shipped to The Dalles, Ore., for burial. "Ben" Snipes, as he was known by every old-timer In both state's of Ore gon and Washington, was a familiar character In his day. He was the cattle king of the coast for a number of years and was wealthy, but through misfortunes of many kinds he lost his wealth and his title to the honor of "cattle king." For years he had droves of catt'e In the Taklma-valley from one end of it to the other. While he never lived here he was In business here for years. He came along In the early seventies with his droves of cattle and pastured them on the hills that were then covered with bunchgrass. Thous ands of head roamed the lower val leys in the winter months and In the summer they grazed on the slopes of the mountains. He at one time owned, with his partners, over 200,000 head of stock, Henry H. Allen of this place being one of his partners. During one se vere winter along about 1884, or thereabouts, a large number of his cattle perished. This was the most severe winter ever felt In Yakima. The thermometer went down to 48 be low zero and many old settlers still talk nbout those memorable days. It Is reported that mora than one-half the cattle In the valley perished from the cold. Snow lay on the ground for months and those that did not freeze starved to death. Snipes was a native of the stnto of Tennessee. He crossed the plains In about 1863 and settled at The Dalles, which was his home till he moved to Seattle In 1890. All his cattle opera tions were conducted from The Dalles. He opened a bank In Kllensburg and one at Roslyn about 20 years ago with a Mr. Abraham as manager. The banks broke In 1892 or 1893, and hun dreds of people In Klttltns county were financially ruined thereby. This was the greatest flnnnclal crash of the period oh account of the number of people affected. Mr. Allen of this place was closely associated with him In the cattle business and he lost heavily by Snipes' failure. Mr. Snipes leaves a wife but no children. The only child, a son. Ben- Jamln, was drowned on the founder ing of a steamer six years ago while on his wnv tram Alaska to Seattle Snipes mountnln, near Sunnyslde,- was named for Mr. Snipes by the early set Hers. No Paid Fire Department. Baker City will at present have no paid fire department, says the Baker City Herald. The protest of taxpay ers and leading citizens against the expenditure of thousands of dollars upon a system of fire protection that would In no way reduce the rates of insurance, according to the estimates of those who have studied the situa tion, has resulted In declaring the whole affair off and the council this evening will wipe that extra mill and a half from Its budget of taxation. Long Tennessee Fight. For 20 years W. L. Rawls, of Bella Tenn., fought nasal catarrh. He writes: "The swelling and soreness In side my nose was fearful, till I began applying Buckler.'s Arnica Salve to the sore surface: this caused the soreness and swelling to disappear, never to re turn." Best salve in existence; 25e at Tillman A Co.'s, druggists. Young Jack for Sale. B. F.
