lands from entry, and the plan of

tire western country, create more
game and forest reserves, are mat
ters that vitally concern, not only
the raiders of livestock, but also the
miner, Irrigator, dry farmer, home
steader, settlor, mert'hant, profession
al man, the railroads and all ethers,
and the delegates will represent all
of hese Interests.
Tndced, It Is proposed to make It

possible discussion of the problem
that confronts the people of the en
tire west.

Before an audience that complete

Now Christian church.
P.ev. Dorrls showed God's plan
through the ages as to where Ood
recorded his name and where his
' name Is recorded today. More than
$1000 was raised to meet what re
mained of the Indebtedness. Tester
day was a great climax in the his
tory of this congregation.
From a little handful three years
ago, the congregation has grown to
be one of the strongest In the city;
and from a little church building this
religious people now has one of the
most commodious and best equipped
h'llMlngs In Ellensburg.

ten stated that three years ago there
wer 0 members, while today there
are 2F.0 mcnibrrs. He also state
that during 1906, 142 persons united
with the congregation.
Financirl obligations have been
promptly met, and the congregation
was now In a position to do greater
work. The board of officers and
members of the congregation ptat
that lurge credit is dut to the pastor,
Rev C. H. Hilton, who has worked
hard to bring about this successful
growth, ind the reception o.f the new
building

WEAK STOMACH
CAUSES SICKNESS
Different Symptoms That Result
from Indigestion How to Cure by
Strengthening the Stomach.
If you have ever suffered with a
weak stomach you must realize that
the digestive system is to the body
what the foundation is to the house
he base of support and strength.
Whatever hurts your stomach or
lessens its power, hurts all other
parts of the body and Impairs their
powers. If the stomach Is weak and
distressed, one organ after another
will be Involved until the heart, kid
nevs and liver are all distressed.
Get the stomach right and the
health will naturally come to the
other organs. This explains why a
irood mnny people who have doctor'
ed for veais for diseases of the heart.
kidneys or liver, have at Inst been
cured by Ml-o-na stomach tablets.
Thev found to their astonishment
and happiness that, when the weak
stomach was strengthened, their
health returned, the heart became
regular, the torpid liver active and
the kidneys heaithy.
Do not think we clam Ml-o-na Is
a "cure-all." tt Is not. It Is a spe
cific for all distresses of tho stom
ach, and when It strengthens the
stomach and cures Indigestion, you
'will soon be well all over without
further medicine.

Washington Letter
Washington, March 21. Presi
dent Roorcvelt has again evinced his
Interept In rifle practice by becoming
a life member of the National Rifle
Association of Ameilca, which works
In co-operation with the National
Board for the Promotion of Rifle
Practice. The president was Invited
to Join by General James A Drain,
president of the association.
It Is not customaiy for president
to Join associations, but General
Drain pointed cut that the National
Rifle association in the only one of
Its kind In the country, and there
fore no criticism could be passed on
the president In case he joined, gen
eral Drain quoted the object of the
association, fron its by-laws, as fol
lows:
The object of this organization
Bhnll be to encourage marksmanship
throughout the United States, prin
cipally In the direction of qualifying
as finished marksmen those Indi
viduals who may he called upon to
serve in time of war: to encourage
competition in marksmanship be
tween t tarns and individuals; to en
courage legislation for the establish
ment and maintenance of ranges; to
.-cure the Issue of military rifles and
ammunition to those practicing there
at; and to encourage a public senti
ment In respect to the necessity of
rifle practice as a means of national
defense."
Py lis liberality congress has
greatly oicitraged the construction
cr rani;e no 1 nfv practice galleries
throughout the country. One-fourth
of tile appropriation made by the
government fjr tho mll'tia is now re
quired to be set aside for the promo
tion of i If lo pr.ictlie and this money
Is available for acquiring ranges.
Any state Inclined, however.
car. use more than this proportion
of tho appropriation, nnd of course
assistance can be received from the
rtate treasury. As a result, ranges
are being secured in ail parts of the
country. 'There Is a good prospect
that i national rifle range will bo es
tablished near Warhlngton.
General Grant, commanding the
department cf the east, has ordered
n beard of officers to meet In Wash
ington to examine sites In Maryland
and Virginia convenient to Washing
ton and suitable for a rifle range for
cavalry. Infantry and field artillery.
rniong other sites to be considered
Is one nf about 1500 acres not far
from Fort Meyer, Virginia, which was
usee', during the Spanish war and
cntled Camp Alger. It Is expected
that If a range Is secured sufficiently
neor the city It may bo used by the
District of Columbia militia as well
ns by tho army.

Wlngate and General A. B. Crltchfleld,
of Ohio, on -rifle practice In the public

these schools is about 600,000, or as
many as the entire population of 8t.
Louis, the fourth city In the Union,
Half of them are boys, of which about
10,000 attend the high schools. The
college of the city of New York has
about 4000 male students.
For the purpose of Interesting these
.children in athletics certain gentle
men Interested In philanthropic work
organized the Public Schools Athletic
league, and during the year 1906 there
were 150,000 entries In the games
conducted by this league.
It has been fully established that
the fire which destroyed Helicon
