The record being made by our bas
ket ball team is certainly one to be '
proud of, not only their home town, ‘
but the state at large, a sh y their ‘
name of The Oregons, they are adver-, •
tising the entire section. So far the ,
boys have played Bevcn games, and
won all of them by good margin«, in
fact six of them were walkovers, and
played with what were supposed to lx-
crack teams too. Our most gratify-
ing news this week is that the high
altitude of the Montana towns has not
affected them. It was supposed this
might prove a serious handicap, The
outlook now is that our boys will great-
ly beat the record of the Alaska team
on their trip last year, both as to the
number of games played and won. By
the end of next week they will lie sup-
plied with our new booklets, and I>al-
las will begin to assume its proper
place on the map. Here's hoping that
they keep up their lick.

Our city council has fixed the tax
levy at 10 mills for the com ing year. I
Last year when it was placed at 8 J
mills the Itemixcr took the ground t
that it was not sufficient for the ini- ’
provementscontemplated, and we now
have the same objection to make to
the 10-mill one. Results have shown
that our forecast of Inst year was cor
rcct. The city officials have been
hampered in their improvement work
all year by lack of sufficient funds,
and much that was contemplated sim
ply had to bo left undone. It is not
he desire of the Itemi/.er to ever ad
vocate a high tax, being no more de
sirous of paying such on our property
than any one else, but as long as cer
tain improvements have been start
ed, necessary to the growth of our
city, we would not hold them back at
\his juncture. If it could find the
mfcs^y to build the intersections, it
would T>» ^possible to finish up nhout
20 more blocks of macadam roadway
next year. Under a 10 mill levy, this
will be impossible, and just the num
ber will have to be fixed that there is
money sufficient to pay for, Each
street intersection will cost the city-
in the neighliorhood of $200, so any
one can see that the fixing of 20 blocks
would take a bunch of money. There
are notes against the city com ing due
next year, totaling a considerable
amount, that must be taken up. They
are promises to pay and must be met.
After this is done and the running ex
penses of the city paid, which are no
small item in themselves, there is not
going to lie much, if any, money left
for further improvement of our streets.
We would have liked to see the levy-
made at the lim it of 10 mills and the
special water tax of 1 7-10 and the li
brary tax of } mill added to this
No library tax was levied last year,!
but |200 was given to aid them. |
The putting of the tax as we mention
would have given our harassed city of
ficers a little leeway in financial mat
ters and obviated to a great extent the
troubles of the past year.
Directions to Prepare Simple yet
Remarkable Home Mixture.
A well known authority on rheuma
tism gives the following valuable, though
simple and harmless prescription, which
any one may easily prepare at home.
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one half ou nce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces.
M ix by shaking well in a bottle, and
take a teaspoon full after each meal and
at bedtime. H e states that the ingre
dients can be obtained from any good
prescription pharmacy at small cost,
and being af vegetable extraction, are
harmless to take. This pleasant mix
ture, if taken regularly for a few days,
is said to overcome almost any case of
rheumatism. The pain and swelling,
if any, diminishes with each dose, until
permanent results are obtained and
without injuring the stomach. While
there are many so called rheumatism
remedies, patent medicines, etc., some
of which do give relief, few really give
permanent results and the above will,
no doubt, be greatly appreciated by
many sufferers here at this time. In
quiry at the drug stores of this neigh
borhood elicts the information that these
drugs are harmless and can lie bought
separately, or the druggists here will
mix the prescription for our readers if
asked to.

IT DOES NOT COME HIGH.
It is economical because it can be quickly turned off when not
needed. With gas or kerosene there ia the temptation to let light
burn, when not needed, to save bother of lighting and adjusting.
In some home» the electric light bill amounts to only about $2 per
month. You ran probably get some kind of artificial light for less
money than electric light, hut does it save you anything when it
limits opportunities for work ami recreation, ruins your eyesight,
smokes your walls, mars decorations and increases household work.
You can probably save a dollar tomorrow by going without your
meals, but it wouldn't be economy. It is not so much what you
save, but how you save, that counts. We are always ready to ex
