LUMBER KNGS AOB THE STHTE Out Timber From Land Owned by Texas Com- monwealth, Discovery of Unlawful Opera- tions Extending Back Fitteen Years. Special Dispatch to The Call. AUSTIN, Tex., Sept. 23.—Pine forests owned by the State of Texas and aggre- gating many thousands of acres have been almost depleted of their mercantile timber by lumber mill men who acted without the authority or the knowledge of the State authorities. J. J. Terrell, StateeLand Commissioner, returned to- day from an investigation of these lands and lald this information before Governor Lanham and Attorney General C. K. Bell. It will form the basis for suits against those who have been robbing the State of timber. Terrell says the invasion of State tim- ber lands by lumber mill men has been in progress for fifteen years, and that the merchantable pine timber on almost every section of land which the State owns has been cut without the State being advised that this was being done. He found that logging tram roads had been extended to State timber tracts and that timber was being cut in wholesale quantities. Sensa- tional disclosures are promised. e | BOLLES IS IDENTIFIED AND TAKEN TO DENVER Sister of the Young Boy He Is Ac- cused of Having Murdered Recognizes Him. VANCOUVER, B.

Syrup of any imitation which may be HicH CLASS DRUGGISTS AND — OTHERS. The better class of druggists, evgrywhere, are men of scientific attainments and high integrity, who devote their lives to the welfare of their felow men in supplying the best of remedies and purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance witl scientific formula. Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but always under original or officinal names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines. They are the men to‘deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances. The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their gregtest reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choieest remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the 'full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package. They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or over-eating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as igs, and they are glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction. -Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but there are individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. sometimes have the name—* Syrup of Figs”—or “Fig Syrup” and of some piratical concern, or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of the package. The imitations should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentatign or deception, and whenever a dealer passes off on a customer a preparation under the name ol™Syrup of Figs” or “Fig Syrup,” which does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package, he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of physicians’ prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness. Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased every- where, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions exist it is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return If it does not bear the full name of the Company— California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the article and to demand the return of your money, and in future go to one of the better class ot druggists who willsell you what you wish and the best of everything in his line at reasonable prices. sold to them. physicians’ prescriptions and They all know that Syrup of In o ives and the o not hesitate Such preparations er to sell the imitations —— SHIPPING MEN BELIEVE BARK CATHERINA IS LOST Lumber Laden Vessel Is Placed on the Overdue List at Seattle.
