purchased all the sheep, ranches,

of $100,000, says the Boise Capital

secures 24,000 head of sheep, Includ
ing the Highland valley ranches. Mr.
Tasker when seen yesterday said
there was no change In the force
and that the sheep will be ranged
In the same territory heretofore oc
cupled by the Payne & Pence flocks.
Either Mr. Tasker or his brother,
who is manager of the company, will
probably take up a permanent resi

The sheep have not been purchased
to ship, but will be handled here as
formerly. Mr. Tasker will leave In

Artesian Well l ulling.
Clorgtiig of the pipes is attributed
to be the reason for the material de
crease In flow cf the new artevlan
well. Last Tuesday there was a no
ticeable falling off, In pressure and
quantity of water, and today, there
Is about one-half the original amount
of water flowing.
Engh.eers will attach the pressure
lest this evening and tlier It will by
definitely known what the decrease'
really Is. It is carefully estimated.
Judging from the quantity of the or
iginal u:id the present flow, that the
pressure Is about 5) per cent less
than It was, anil that the quantity
las decreased about the same per
cent..
It is generally nd-nltted by engi
neer? : t!-rer experts, thut the
falling otf is not due to a decrease In
suppl), bit rather that sediment or
1 looe rock has lodged In the pipe,
thus' shutting off the supply.
It l planned to shoot the n-ell In
the near future, unless the Kdlt'-ent
Ja" loose nnd allows the natural flow
of the water. Nitroglycerin will be
lowered iuto the well In hopes of
knocking luose any clog that may be
lodged at the bottom.
A new chnnncl may have been
found by the flow. Th well was
closed for three days, contrary to In
structions and during that time many
believe the under current of water
mav have sought and found nnother
channel, and In this way lessened the
water supply Into the pipes. La

BIG GANG OP COUNTER
FEITERS AT W.ORK.
Spurious $5 Gold Coins Are Found In
Large Numbers In Eastern Oregon
and Federal orflcluls Believe a
Large Gang Is at Work One Bonk
Holds $780 Worth of Spurious Coin,
Bogus Money ' Acknowledged to
he the Work of Experts.
The arrest of the Huntington gang
of counterfeiters a year ago did not
stop counterfeiting in eastern Oregon,
as Is shown by evidence recently gath
ered by United States District Attor
ney Bristol of Portland.
It Is claimed that Wallowa county
Is flooded with counterfeit coin of
several denominations and that almost
every other eastern Oregon county
complains of the circulation of bogus
money. A Portland dispatch says of
the situation:
Ten thousand dollars In spurious $5
gold pieces and more than 20 counter
feit silver dollars In the possession of
United States District Attorney Bris
tol Is considered conclusive evidence
of the operations of a gang of profes
sional counterfeiters In eastern Ore
gon, where the Imitation money was
seized.
The government's prosecutor has
been investigating the case for several
days and is satisfied the bogus money
Is being coined by a desperate gang'
that carries on Its work on some of
the remote streams In the lnter'or of
the eastern section of the state. At
torney Bristol has accumulated con
siderable evidence and expects to suc
ceed In apprehending the counterfeit
ers. ,
Learning that a great deal of coun
terfeit money was being circulated In
eastern Oregon, Mr. Bristol has visited
a number of the towns in that section
of the state, where he found conditions
worse than had been represented.
The bogus coins of both denomina
tions are exceptionally good Imita
tions and so closely do they resemble
the genuine that they have been readi
ly passed. In one eastern Oregon bank
alone Mr. Bristol discovered $780 of
the worthless coin which had been
Innocently received on deposit by the
bank officials.
The dollars are especially clever Im
itations of Uncle Sam's product, and
would pass the Inspection of the aver
age critical bank clerk. They are al
most perfect In design and lettering,
the only exception being that the let
ter "M" Is stamped at the base of the
head of the coin Instead of the Initials
"J. L. C." whieh nppenr on the genu
ine. From this It Is evident the gang
works with an old stamp. The coun
terfeited coin weighs slightly more
than a good dollar, but does not con
tain an ounce of silver, Its mineral
parts consisting of aluminum, tin and
lend.
The spurious five dollar pieces are
not so perfect, being slightly off color.
They bear the date of 103 and were
made from copper and brass and
washed In gold.
"Eastern Oregon Is prolific when It
romes to producing coin swindling me
diums," said United States Attorney
Bristol. "This gang Is unquestionably
composed of erpcrlenced counterfeit
ers who have served time, nnd so pen
nine do their products appear that no
difficultv is experienced in lapsing
them In business transactions."
The authorities do not charpe this
counterfeiting Job to the Coon pans or
their confederates. .They are now be
ing held for trial In the federal court.
The Job Is credited to a more hold and
desperate crowd.

BY IMPURITIES IN THE BLOOD
An old soreor ulcer is only a symptom, an outlet for the impurities and poisons
which are circulating in the blood, and as long as this vital fluid remains in this impure
and contaminated state the place will never heal. It may scab over and appear to be
getting well, but a fresh outpouring of diseased matter from the blood starts it again, and
thus it goes on, sometimes for years, continually growing worse, and slowly sapping
away the strength and vitality of the sufferer.
There are many ways by which the blood may become contaminated and poisoned.
A long spell of fever, or other sickness, breeds disease germs in the system, the failure of
nature's eliminative members to rem6ve the waste and refuse matter of the body, the exces
sive use of minerals in certain diseases, all infect the blood with morbid matter and germs,
which sooner or later manifest their presence by a sore or ulcer which refuses to heal
under the ordinary treatment of salves.
washes, lotions, powders, etc.
pimple, burn or even a slight
develops into a festering or discharging
ulcer if the system is run down or the blood
depreciated from any cause.
Persons with an inherited blood taint
are very apt to be afflicted with sores and
ulcers. Being born with an unhealthy blood
supply, the different parts of the bodv are
r 41
never iuny nourished, and when middle life is reached or passed and the vigor and strength
of the system begins to weaken and wane, the tissues in some weak point break down and
a chronic sore or ulcer is formed, and kept open by the constant drainage of impure matter
from the blood. How aggravating and stubborn an old sore can be is best known by those
who have nursed and treated one for years, applying salves, washes, powders, etc., with no
good results. The place remains and continues to grow worse by eating deeper into the
surrounding flesh, festering, discharging, sometimes throbbing with pain, and gradually
undermining the constitution by its unhealthy action on the system. ;
It is a great mistake to eipect to cure these places with external applications. True'
this treatment assists in keeping the parts clean, and are beneficial in this way, but do not
reach the real trouble which is in the blood. The practice of cutting out the diseased parts
and even scraping the bone beneath, is often resorted to, but these severe measures seldom

touna to equal S. S. fci. it goes down into the
circulation, drives out all poison and morbid matter, reduces the inflammation, and by
sending pure, rich blood to the diseased parts, instead of feeding them with impurities,
allows the sore to heal naturally and permanently. Not only does S. S. S. purify the blood
of all poisons and germs, but builds it up from its weakened and impoverished state, making
it strong and healthy and able to supply every part of the body with sufficient and proper
nourishment to keep it in perfect health. If you have a sore that is slow in healing, do not
depend upon external applications alone, nor experiment with unknown medicines, but begin
the use of S. S. S., and by removing every vestige of the cause, cure the trouble perma
nently. Special book on Sores and Ulcers and any medical advice desired sent free to all

TOURIST TRAVEL IN
The following information con

thereto, and the Inconveniences and
discomforts to which they have to

two dozen tourists from the eastern

SORE OIT HIS FACE.
I was afflicted with a sore on my faoa of four years
standing. It was a small pimple at first but It grad
ually grew larger and worse In every way until I
became alarmed about it and consulted several physi
cians. They all treated me but the sore continued to
grow worse. I saw S. S. S. advertised and commenoed
Its nsa and after taking It awhile I was completely
cured. My blood Is now pure and healthy from the
effeot of S. S. 8., and there has not been any sign of the
sore slnoe 8. S. B. cured it.
