ette Valley should have little to com
plain about on that score.

day's issue contains the following
item about Ralph Bennett, the little
son of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Bennett, of
thiscity. "Happy as a child could be,
eight-year-old Ralph - Bennett, of
Dallas, is watching his artificial
limbs being made by B. C. Linstrom,
of New York, at his Portland shop,
271 Morrison street. 'It Is one of the
most difficult cases that I have seen in
my 16 years' experience,' said Mr.
Linstrom, Wednesday morning, 'but
I shall have hi in walking Inside of
two weeks.' The child has never
walked, owing to bis deformed limbs."
