make a little larger profit. You can not trust

inal Witch Hazel Salve , a well known cure
for piles and all skin diseases. See that your

EDITOR TRIBUNE : Will you permit
me through your columns to answer a few
questions with reference to this country ?
I am 42 miles west of Spokane in what is
called the Big Bend country.
The nights are always cool enough to
use a woolen blanket on the bed , and
there has been only one hot day (94 ( de
grees ) since I have been here , not much
wind such as we know in Nebraska , and
there seems to be plenty of rain. Wheat
is the main crop , nights are too cool for
corn. The wheat yield this year will
be from 18 to 20 bushels in the northern
part of the country , and from 35 to 40 in
the southern part. Fruit seems to do
splendid here , and a large amount is be
ing planted ; every day several loads are
brought to this town , and it is of au ex
cellent quality. There are some very
rich mines about 20 miles north of here ,
and , in fact , the mining district begins
about ten miles north of here and runs
into British Columbia. This town is the
base of supply for a large part of the
region. There has never been a com
plete failure of crops here. The laud is
quite hilly but the best grain is raised ,
and the finest fruit trees grow on the
sides of the hills. A well back of my
store is four feet to water ; out in the
country the depth varies , the deepest I
have yet heard of is 175 feet.
The state is just beginning to be devel
oped and seems to have a great future in
store for it. J. H. BERGE.

It may not be generally known but it is a fact
that 95 per ceut. of nickel cigars are made of scraps
and pickups and doctored to imitate good tobacco.
Such cigars cost almost nothing to manufacture , and
yet you are asked to pay 5 cents for them. Aside
from the argument that you are entitled to the limit
for your money , these doctored cigars , for many
reasons , are unfit to be smoked.

After many intricate experiments , scientists
have discovered methods for obtaining all the
natural digestants. These have been com
bined in the proportion found in the human
body and _ united with substances that build
up the digestive orga'ns , making a compound
called Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It digests
what you eat and allows all dyspeptics to eat
plenty of nourishing food while the stomach
troubles are being radically cured by the
medicinal agents it contains. It is pleasant
to take and will give quick relief. D. W.
Loar.

A BLIND MAN
Is one who fails to profit by experience , even though he has use of both eyes without the aid of
glasses. Time and again people buy clothing that is half made and containing mostly "Shoddy
and Flock. " Remember that three years among you has taught you that we carry no satinet
goods in the house ; what you buy of us is reliable and made by the best equipped factories in the
in the country. Our prices are the lowest named for good goods ; we carry no other.
