Over 2,000,000 Acres for ment in Reservations. Settle- Missoula, Mont., May 15. Under a Washington date line, the Missoulian this morning prints the following : - At a conference held today by offi cials of the general land office, the fol lowing tentative scheme was decided upon for the registration and opening of the Flathead reservation, in Mon tana, Coeur d'Alene in Idaho, and the Colville in Washington. The Flathead reservatiion contains about 1,200,000 acres, the Coeur d'Alene abput 400,000 and the Colville about 400,000. All three reservations will be ready for opening this summer, and all three of them will be opened at the same time. Registration points will only be estab lished at towns where there is a United States land office, and all registration points will be for all three of the reser vations. The registration points will be Missoula, Kalispell, Coeur d'Alene and Spokane. The registration period will probably begin July 10 and end on August 15, thus giving five weeks' opportunity for all persons to go to one of the places above designated to register. At the close of registration, August 15, the drawing for numbers will take plcae for all three of the reservations at Coeur d'Alene City. The drawing is an unimportant item in the general plan and will ocupy only one or two days. , Beat Boy Black and Blue, rips Moines. Mav 15.

WILL FIGHT STRIKE. French Deputies Show Confidence in Government. Paris, May 14. A turbulent session of the chamber of depuies today result ed in a victory for Premier Clemen ceau, when the government's policy with regard to the postal strike was emphatically indorsed by a vote of 454 to 59, including also the government's insistence that the postal employes and other functionaries have no right to strike. Immediately afterward the chamber passed a vote of general confidence in the government by 365 to 75. The strikers received the chamber s rebuke with a shrug of the shoulders, declaring it only served to bind closer their forces, which would soon Btartle the country by a big increase and a rapid extension of the general move ment. On the other band, it is inti mated that the government baa other plans in view. Up to midnight there was no change in the situation. If anything it was in the direction of a weakening of the strike sentiment. The general con viction is that if the movement does not make vast strides tomorrow it is almost certain of complete failure. FEWER RAILROAD ACCIDENTS Year 1908 Was 40 Per Cent Safer Than Was 1907. Chicago, May 14. Not since the business prostration of 1895 and 1896 has travel on American railroads been so safe as it was during 1908. In a pamphlet issued by the bureau of rail way news and statistics, it is stated that there were 1,932 fewer fatalities to passengers and employes in railway accidents during 1908 than there were during 1907, which is a decrease of ap proximately 40 per cerlt. The greatest decrease was in fatalities resulting from train accidents, and the following conclusion is drawn : "All things considered, the conclu sion is unavoidable that the diminution in fatalities was due almost entirely to the recession in freight traffic, which took the strain off every department of service and substituted an orderly ob servance of rules by passengers and em ployes, instead of their violation in the feverish rush of prosperity."

We can hardly realize that of all the children horn in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die hefore they reach one year; thirtyseven per cent,, or mora than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen I We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a ma jority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium, or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the pores of the skin and allays fever. -sal nil ill Jlll it WlSi ALCOHOL S FEK pvn-p AVcgelablePrcparalionrofAs similalingthcFuodamlRcdula img mc aiamactis aiuLBcwkof Promotes DitfestionOifeifi ncss and Rest jContalns nclttar upiuTU-Morphine nor Mineral, Not Narcotic.

The condition in which I find water received from various parts of the state warrants my calling the attention of the public to the unsanitary conditions which must exist surrounding their water supply. Some samples of water taken in storile bottles under asceptic precautions, contain as high as 63,580 germs per cubic centimeter (a teaspoon holds about nve cubic centimeters of water and an ordinary drinking glass about 225 cubic centimeters). A glass ful of such water would therefore con tain 14,305,500 living germs. While it is true that many varieties of these germs are not directly disease produc ing, the continued introduction of such large quantities of them into the sys tem lowers vitality and increases sus ceptibility to the disease producing types when they gain access to the body. Water containing so many or ganisms carries sIbo, in solution, the ptomaines from the putrefaction of the organic matter in which they grew. These large number of organisms gen erally find their way into open wells by surface drainage and where they can pass, so may the disease producing types pass also. The waters from driven wells are comparatively free from organisms. An open well is an abomination and is not in keeping with our present under standing of the laws of sanitation. The question arises, how can we bet ter our condition. Where a well is the only means of obtaining water, let it be dug to the water bearing stratum, wall it up with brick laid in cement for ten feet, arch it over with the pump pipe and arch well cemented in, fill the remainder of the bole, which may be 15 to 20 feet, with clay well tramped down and the result will be a bottomless brick jug, deep .under ground, into which no surface water, worms nor animals can penetrate. The water from such a well is as pure as can be obtained from the locality in which it is situated. There are many families living in the country who should enjoy the best of health, but who are always ailing. The cause of ill - health may, as a rule, be traced to their use of polluted water produced by the unsanitary condition of their surroundings. But few homes have proper drainage from sinks and baths, dish water is thrown out of the oack door on the ground near the well, garbage is similarly disposed of to de compose and drain into the well. Wash water containing filth ' that would not be tolerated on the clothing is also emptied on the ground to drain into the well. Most of the open wells situ ated near the house or barn are but Letters from Prominent Physicians addressed to Chas. II. Fletcher. Dr. A. F. Pooler, of St Louis, Mo., says: "I have prescribed your Castoria In many cases and have always found It an efficient and speedy remedy." Dr. E. Down, of Philadelphia, Fa., says: "I have prescribed your Cas toria In my practice for many years with great satisfaction to myself and benefit to my patients." Dr. Edward Parrlsh, of Brooklyn, N. T., says: "I have used your Cas toria in my own household with good results, and have advised several patients to use it for its mild laxative effect and freedom from harm." t Dr. J. B. Elliott, of New York City, says: "Having during the past six years prescribed your Castoria for infantile stomach disorders, I most heartily commend Its use. The formula contains nothing deleterious to the most delicate of children." Dr. C. G. Sprague, of Omaha, Neb., says: 'Tour Castoria Is an Ideal medicine for children, and I frequently prescribe It While I do not advo cate the Indiscriminate use of proprietary medicines, yet Castoria la an exception for conditions which arise in the care of children." Dr. J. A Parker, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Your Castoria holds tha esteem of the medical profession In a manner held by no other proprie tary preparation. It Is a sure and reliable medicine for Infants and chil dren. In fact, it is the universal household remedy for Infantile ailments." Dr. H. F. Merrill, of Augusta, Me., says: "Castoria Is one of the very finest and most remarkable remedies for Infants and children. In my opinion your Castoria has saved thousands from an early grave. I can furnish hundreds of testimonials from this locality as to Us efficiency and merits." Dr. Norman M. Gecr, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "During the last twelva years I have frequently recommended your Castoria as one of the best preparations of the kind, being safe In the hands of parents and very ef fective in relieving children's disorders, while the ease with which such a pleasant preparation can be administered is a great advantage."

BETTOt A FULL cesspools. It is the lowest point in its vicinity into which liquid's drain. Frequently a privy is located within a stone's throw of an open well. When the water table rises to the surface of the ground, as it always does during the winter' in Western Oregon, all sur face water is contaminated, and, as the water level lowers, the open wells be come reservoirs for the drainage. The ordinary stone or brick wall of an open well only serves the purpose of preventing the caving in of the earth and in no sense acts as a filter. We have received samples of water from open wells, situateM near barn yards or dwellings, which were loaded with organisms that are instrumental in decomposing manure. The samples gave strong reactions of ammonia by chemical analysis and were even tinted with the color of liquid manure. One particular sample was thus polluted from a flower bed near the house, the flower bed having been heavily ma nured. In localities where water is piped in to the house and there is no sewer, the toilets should be connected with a prop erly constructed septic tank and the effluent should be piped a long distance from the well and empty on the surface of the ground, where sun and air may still further purify it. If an open clos et must be used, a concrete vault, well cemented, should be constructed, in stead of a mere hole in the ground, and lime frequently thrown into it to pre vent the breeding of flies. Earth clos ets have been very successful and con sist of galvanized iron trays or tubs that may be emptied away from the premises; dry earth or ashes should be used in connection with them to absorb moisture and suppress odor. It is well known that flies breed in human and animal manure ; for exam ple, the deposits of human excreta are often seen to be a crawling, mass of maggots, these are the larvae batched Signature of Egg-Phosphato BAKING POWDER POUND 25c Get it from your Crocr from the efgs deposited by flies, from this they pass into the pups stage and again emerge as flies with the return of warm weather. These flies enter ouradweiIings, walk upon our food and directly transmit the organisms from excreta to our food. Contanimation does not cease at that, for we have definitely proven that the organisms which the flies take into their bodies from the excreta are not destroyed by their digestion, and passing from their bodies with the excreta the germs util ize this excreta for food and multiply. Therefore a fly speck containing fifty germs will increase its numbers fifty fold. If perchance the organism happens to be the typhoid bacillus, a fly speck upon an apple, or other food, will eventually contain thousands of germs. This we bsva conclusively demon strated by hatching flies in a sterils box, then feeding them with bread or sugar saturated with cultures of the typhoid bacilli, then allowing them to excrete upon apples, cabbage leaves, other material that gives off moisture. The fly speck, after some time, as sumes the form of a colony and is found to be loaded with living typhoid bacilli, showing that they bad passed through the fly uninjured and had mul tiplied abundantly in the fly's deposit. It is well known that milk is an ideal food for typhoid bacilli, and for that reason should be well guarded from the invasion of flies. Keep flies out of the house, especially that part where food is kept. If Your Eyes Bother You get a box of PETTIT'S EYE SALVE, old reliable, most successful eye rem edy made.
