Miss H. A. Singer
Tells How Cuticura
Healed Mother
"My mother started with a break
ing out of eczema on her right hmb.
It was red and sore and
began to spread to her
left limb and the upper
part of her chest. Her
right limb was badly swol
len and inflamed and
itched and burned so that
she could not sleep or
rest. Her clothing irritated the af
fected parts.
"The trouble lasted about four
weeks. Then we started using Cuti
cura Soap ar.d Ointment and the
itching and burning ceased, and
after using two cakes of Scap ar.J
three boxes of Ointment she was
completely healed." 'Signed) Miss
Hattie A. Singer. R. 2. Escondido,
Calif.. July 28. 1920.
For every purpose of the toi'.et Cuti
cura Soap, Ointment and Talcum are
supreme.

Was One of Those
Who Helped
Fight Custer
Pierre, S. D.. June 21.—In Hie
recent death of Chief Iron Lighten
ing. at his home near Thunder Uutte
in the northwestern part of the
Cheyenne Indian reservation, the
country lost probably the greatest
of the few remaining famous Indian
characters who figured in the early
history of Dakota Territory.
Iron Lightening was one of the
sub-chiefs, who.under Sitting Bull,
participated in tiic memorable bat-1
tie of the Little Big Horn. June JS.
IS7(5, when Custer and his band of
men were annihilated. He is
said to be the last of the chiefs
who were in control of the Sioux
Xation at that time. He was 7<>
years old at the time of his death
and has for years made his h<v:ie
in the vicinity of Thunder Butte
section.
Unusually tall and well propor
tioned. even for an Indian, and pos
sessing a voice which commanded
attention and obedience although it
knew no word of English, Iron
Lightening was a natural leader of
risen. In the early part of thif ceu
tury following the I'te Indian up
rising. when the I'tes had hesu
rounded up and sent to the Cheyenne
reservation, it was Iron Lightening
who went among them urgit>s them
to forget their grievance with the
whites and settle down to peaceful
lives.
He wns the last Indian, so far as
is known, to have continued to live
with two wives after the order pro
hibiting poylgamy and further poly
gamous marriages among, the Li
llians was made. Iron Lightening
was called to the Thunder Butte
station when this order was received
Mid told he must choose between tne
two women with whom he was then
living.
•*lf tiie Commissioner has lived
with one woman." the chief replied
in Indian, "he will know how im
possible, it is for Tron Lightening
to separate himself from two. Iron
Lightening laughs."
This speech won for him his case
inii the two wives were retained.
I'hey lived together in harmony, one
joins the cookiag*"*frwr »ihe faniii>
tvhich among the Indians is regarded
is an honor, f«>r one week when the
L>iher came into power for a like
period.
Silverado Showing
High Grade
Silver Ore
Albert Peterson, who Is helping
John Haati open up the ore show
ing on the Selverado group, was in
town yesterday with ore samples
to have assayed and also with a
number of loose specimens which
are about as fine as can be found
anywhere aside from native gold
and silver. The specimens show a
preponderence of grey copper with
a sprinkling of cbalcopyrlte and
steel galena. Some of the surface
ore is beautifully colored with bro
•i!de of silver. Assays running as
high as 1,100 ounces in silver have
been obtained and the boys are
keeping a close check on the val
ues with the intention of sacking the
ore and rawhiding it down the hill
for shipment.
John Haati, who discovered the
property, said Sunday that the lead
has been Traced from the gulch in

Home Brewing
Wearing Out
Washington, June 9.—Home
brewers used up more than 16,000
tons ot raisins in 1919, AV. M. Grit
tin. president of the California Asso
ciated Raisin company, estimated to
day in giving a senate sub-committee
his views on the pending bill to
authorize collective bargaining by
farmers.
He placed the raisin grape crop of
191S at 107,000 tons and of 1919 at
1S3.000 tons, the difference in his
judgment representing demand from
home brewers. The demand was now
decreasing, ho added, the "hobby"
for home brewing apparently having
worn itself out to some extent.
Co-operative associations to mar
ket crops in the light of information
as to world supply and demand would
improve farmers' prices, Mr. Griffin
thought. He urged, however, that
such associations should be restricted
to dealing in the products of their
divii members. Before his company
was organized, he said, raisins got
down to a cent a pound; while now
the industry was on a profitable
basis.
Mr. Griffin opposed price fixing by
the government on farm products,
but was not prepared to state his
views of the bills proposed to author
ize the secretary or agriculture to
prevent undue enhancement of prices
of such products.
Genesis.
Bishop Leonard of Cleveland said at
a dinner the other evening:
"1 am so sorry to see that Canon
Barnes, the English divine, has recent
ly declared in a sermon that the bibli
cal account of the creation and fall Is
to be credited no longer."
Bishop Leonard pursed his lips
thoughtfully.
"Canon Bi.Tnes," he ended, "is tak
ing a good deal on himself when he
announces so confidently that Genesis
Isn't."
Paris announces a new cure for con
sumption, but tubercular patients will
keep right on with the fresh 'air cure
until the new one proves Its case.

Bl'MPER F'K' IT CROPS ARE

Xarapa. June 6.—"Bumper Italian
prune and apple crops with good
prices for thee two classes of fruits"
is the prediction of E. F. Stephens,
of this city, the well known horticul
turist, for Boise valley this year.
Mr. Stephens is impressed that the
crops of this season of prunes and ap
ples will be record-breaking ones
and that, because of the failuro of
all kinds of fruit crops in middle
western and eastern states, tie
growers of this soc'ion will seuire
good prices for theirs.
Something like 2U0 carloads of ap
ples were shipped out to tVic markets

ED MATTHEWS COMES
HOME FROM WAR
| Ed .Matthews, son of W. E. Mat
J thews, returned on the Northwestern
Saturday evening after an absence of
over six years.
In 1910, Ed joined the Canadian
Army, at Calgary, Alberta, and early
the next year went over seas.
At yimy Itidge Ed was gassed, but
soon recovered and went back in the
trenches. After serving steadily on
the front, he was finally wounded
twice at Amiens.
A pieco of shrapnel struck him in
the leg and at about the same time
a machine gun bullet went through
the fleshy part of t>-e same leg.
Before Kd had recovered., the ar
mistice was signed and the big war
was over so he returned Victory,
where he was discharged. He re
turned by way of Panama canal. j
Since his discharge Ed has been :
firing on ocean going boats running,
principally to Honolulu, which place
he says is a very desirable place to
live in. Kd has come home to look
around and maybe settle down once
more in the town of his birth.
OH! Pool!, POOR STEWART
H.vder ball players took revenge
Sunday afternoon on the home
grounds for the three wallopings
they have received this year at the
hands of the Stewart, team, and sent
the Canadians back home rending
the ambient ozone with a chorus of
pitiful meowing. And the score, it
was a noble score, a most magnifi
cent score—20 to 14— one that the
Rig League teams with their meas
ly little marks of 1—0, 2—1. etc.,
never even approach. It was a score
to bring a look of envy into the eyes
of a seasoned cricketer—almost. It
looked at time as though no one
could go out but the tide.
Stewart looked Sunday afternoon
like the original Deserted Village,
nearly everybody and his cousin com
ing over to see the game. Some of
them went home poorer in pocket
but wiser in experience. The only
H.vder folks wiio failed to see the
slaughter were those who couldn't I
get there. The boys have done con
siderable work on the grounds and
intend doing more. By mid-season
they expect to have one of the best
diamonds in Alaska.—Hyder Miner.
