Whitney, a wealthy ranchman of this plaee-and a cousin of the secretary of the navy under Claveland,i- will spend an additional 81,000 in the construction of: an irri gated ditch on his ranch. After nearly a mile of the new ditch had been constrhicted, Whitney learned that the route was directly over the grave of the dog, and rather than have the grave disturbed, the work on the ditch was stopped until a new sur- vey could be made, The grave is lo- cated at the base of a huge sand- stone ledge, Whitney says the dog once saved his life by Jeading him through a blinding snowstorm and he refuses to have the grave desecrated. + S-- The Oddest Client. : Jerome K.

The first half was a real- ly good exhibition of hockey, but in the last half the Wanderers were faie- lv outclassed, the score standing at the end, eight to three, in favor of the Star-Bachelors. There was noth- ing but fair play throughout. If the balance of the series is played as clean, it will furnish sport for the townspeople worth while looking at.

That Scott's Emulsion should act so quickly and satisfactorily in all cases of lost flesh and continued wasting is not surprising when its food value is un- derstood. With pure Nor- wegian cod liver oil, hypo- phosphites of lime "and soda and glycerine, there is combined in Scott's Emulsion the best ele- ments of nourishment and strength building known to medical science. Any physician will tell you this. The use of these ingredi- ents in the proper propor- tions; the employment of -only the purest grade of each,and to combine them perfectly is the secret of the success of Scott's Emulsion.
