ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 1900. FOR THE CAMPAIGN. Preparation for the Coming Republican State Convention—The Los Angeles Convention, April 27. The executive committee of the Republican State Central Committee met in San Francisco on Thursday to decide upon the date of a meeting of the general body, at which a call will be issued and other action will be taken preliminary to the holding of the Congress and State conventions. Friday, April 6th, at 1 p.m., was selected as the time for the meeting of the main body, and Secretary Steppacher was authorized to secure a meeting place, Golden Gate hall preferred. The following resolution was unanimously adopted: "Whereas, At the last regular session of the Legislature the Political Code was amended, requiring that there must be 'in each even-numbered year in each of the counties of the State a new and complete registration of voters of such counties, and cities and counties, who are entitled thereto. Such registration shall begin on the first day of January of such years, and shall be in progress at all times, except during forty days immediately preceding any election, when it shall cease as to electors residing in territory within which such an election is to be held'; now, therefore, be it 'Resolved, By the Republican State Executive Committee, that all Republican Congress committees, county committees, league clubs and organizations be and they are earnestly urged to take early steps to arouse interest in this all-important subject; to secure without delay full and complete registration of all voters within the respective counties, districts, wards and precincts. Registration should receive immediate attention, and every effort be made to aid and facilitate the labors of the county clerks and registrar of voters to prepare new registers, so that they may without leave to amend. The court held that, while the dam might injure a few of the neighbors and thereby be a private nuisance, it did not annoy the public generally so as to be considered a public nuisance and therefore the county was not interested in the suit. It will be remembered that the Post took this view of the situation before the suit was instituted and pointed out that the services of the county officers could be secured in the contest by establishing a drainage ditch through the club's preserves to the sea. Now the settlers are pursuing this course and had a hearing before the Supervisors last Monday on petition for forming a drainage district. The danger on this line will be too hasty and ill-advised action; for, if with months of care and attention of the Supervisors and attorneys past efforts have proved failures, a petition, prepared and presented to the Supervisors within three days after the court's decision, will probably disclose breaches for the club's attorneys to drive through. It is always difficult for comparatively poor people relying on the perfunctory services of public officers to hold their own against capable lawyers backed up by large wealth. Will Stand Again. As the time for the opening of the political campaign approaches much interest is felt at Washington as well as in the California Congress districts about the renomination and re-election of the Congressmen now in office. It is safe to say that Representative Barham of the First district and Representative Waters of the Sixth will not seek renomination. It is equally certain that the other five Congressmen will be candidates before their party conventions. There appears to be some misapprehension in some parts of this district about Representative Needham's position, and word has reached the national capital that a statement has been published in San Diego that he will not be a candidate for renomination. What ever the source of this report, it is wholly unauthorized and creates a false impression. Representative Needham Many of the Varieties now Growing Introduced by the Jesuit and Franciscan Fathers. Cultivated fruits were first brought into California from the south. Sion work among the Indians of L.A. California was actually begun by establishment of the mission at L.A. by Salvatierra, October 19, 1697. Following years horses and cattle brought from Mexico, and from introduction came ultimately herds which roamed the hills and farlands of California. Probably the first and plants of cultivated vegetable fruits came about the same time there was a small garden and a fruit trees at Loreto in 1701. But reto was not fitted for horticulture in the same year an expedition in coke of Father Ugarte, who is called founder of agriculture in Lower California, crossed over the mountain more suitable location at the mississippi Vigge Biaundo, which had been troyed some time before by hostile dians. Ugarte restored the mined irrigating ditches, and planted fruit trees and vines. This effort successful from a horticultural point view, for in 1707 Ugarte made wine than would suffice for missionaries sent some to Mexico in exchange for other goods. Thus began their port trade in California wine. The Jesuits continued their installation of missions in Lower California until there were fifteen miles at five of which there were vineyards presumably as many or which had gardens with fruit trees. The variety of fruits grown in California was small. They had oranges, citrons, pomegranates tains, and some olives and dates. SACRAMENTO is already making a fight for the convention, and Santa Cruz will make application. The indications are that the business of the first convention will be disposed of in from three hours to half a day. After organizing, the convention will elect four delegates at large to the national convention and four alternates, and the question of selecting a new State committee will probably be disposed of. A platform may be discussed, but the indications are that President McKinley and his administration will be indorsed and the adoption of a formal party platform be left to the August convention. THE LOS ANGELES MEETING. Arrangements for the State Convention of the California League of Republican clubs, which meets in Los Angeles April 27, 1900, are progressing favorably and prospects are bright for a large and successful gathering of Republican workers. The convention committee is hard at work arranging details and from the many communications received daily we find that the Republicans of every part of the State are preparing to send delegates. Los Angeles intends to maintain its reputation as a convention city and will do her best to make it pleasant for the delegates and their friends. Her citizens will provide the convention hall, decorations, badges, music, and "red lemonade"; and her far-famed sunshine, her magnificent surroundings and her sweetest flowers will all unite in a royal welcome to their guests. During the coming campaign, we should all work together for the common good of our great party. Our greatest danger is in over-confidence. Organization will remove this danger, and organization is what is needed in California today. This will be appreciated by every close observer of the world's events during the past two years. Organization is necessary in business, war and politics. Politics is a war of principles and ideas determined by ballots instead of bullets. Clubs are political educators. Every Republican should belong to a club. Every club should send a representative delegation to the California League convention, and thereby engender a proper party spirit and enthusiasm, to the end that an efficient organization shall be perfected in every county, city, township, ward and precinct in this State. This will ensure a brilliant and enthusiastic campaign which will result in an overwhelming approval in November next of the splendid administration and matchless Americanism of President McKinley. Herman Fesenfeld. This old-time Anaheimer writes from Washington as follows renewing his subscription to the GAZETTE: "You will find inclosed postal order for the about renomination and re-election of the Congressmen now in office. It is safe to say that Representative Barham of the First district and Representative Waters of the Sixth will not seek renomination. It is equally certain that the other five Congressmen will be candidates before their party conventions.

What ever the source of this report, it is wholly unauthorized and creates a false impression. Representative Needham said some days ago, in answer to a direct inquiry about his plans for the future: "The statement that I will not be a candidate for renomination is wholly unauthorized. On the contrary, to all the friends in my district from whom I have heard by mail or wire I have frankly declared my intention to be a candidate for renomination by the Republicans of the Seventh district." Shocking Story. A shocking story comes from Dutch New Guinea of the capture by natives of three officers of the steamer General Pel. The captives were subjected to the most horrible tortures, and were devoured while yet living by the cannibalistic natives. While the General Pel was in Dutch New Guinea four of her officers went ashore, and were about to take photographic views when they were surrounded by natives and three of the naval men taken prisoners. The only member of the party who escaped was the Pel's first officer, Ernest B. Wigand, who, however, was badly wounded by arrows. In spite of his wounds he lingered in the woods long enough to see his comrades tied to trees and used as targets by the natives, who subsequently sliced off portions of their living flesh and finally devoured all three, after roasting their feet and legs. The Dutch government has sent the man-of-war Sumatra to the scene to avenge these atrocities. Needham. Representative Needham has again introduced a bill for the division of the Southern California judicial district into two districts, with United States courts at Los Angeles and Fresno. A bill was introduced in the House early in the session and referred to the United States justices in Los Angeles. Their recommendation caused its reintroduction. MARCH AND THE LION. Something Better Than the Old Saw. The saying about the lion and the lamb in March often proves false, but there is another and a better one which is literally true. When March comes in and finds you taking Hood's Sarsaparilla to purify, enrich and vitalize your blood, you may expect, when it goes out, that it will leave you free from that tired feeling and with none of the bolls, pimples and eruptions which manifest themselves because of impure blood in the spring. If you have not already begun taking Hood's Sarsaparilla for your spring medicine, we advise you to begin today. We assure you it will make you feel better all through the coming summer. Ten Uses for Lemons. Lemon juice removes stains from the hands. A dash of lemon in plain water is an excellent tooth wash. It not only re-about the renomination and re-election of the Congressmen now in office. It is safe to say that Representative Barham of the First district and Representative Waters of the Sixth will not seek renomination. It is equally certain that the other five Congressmen will be candidates before their party conventions.

Judge Ballard sustained the demurrer on Friday of last week to the complaint of the Supervisors against the Bolsa Gun club, for maintaining a nuisance in the dam on the club's grounds, Drying preparations simply develop dry catarrh; they dry up the secretions, which adhere to the membrane and decompose, causing a far more serious trouble than the ordinary form of catarrh. Avoid all drying inhalants, fumes, smokes and snuffs and use that which cleanses, soothes and heals. Ely's Cream Balm is such a remedy and will cure catarrh or cold in the head easily and pleasantly. A trial size will be mailed for 10 cents. All druggists sell the 50c. size. Ely Brothers, 56 Warren St., N.Y. The Balm cures without pain, does not irritate or cause sneezing. It spreads itself over an irritated and angry surface, relieving immediately the painful inflammation. With Ely's Cream Balm you are armed against Nasal Catarrh and Hay Fever. Ten Uses for Lemons. Lemon juice removes stains from the hands. A dash of lemon in plain water is an excellent tooth wash. It not only removes tartar, but sweetens the breath. Two or three slices of lemon in a cup of strong tea will cure a nervous headache. Lemon juice (outward application) will allay the irritation caused by the bites of gnats or flies. A teaspoonful of the juice in a small cup of black coffee will relieve a bilious headache. Lemon peel (and also orange) should be saved and dried. They are a capital substitute for kindling wood. A handful will revive a dying fire. The juice of a lemon taken in hot water on awakening in the morning is an excellent liver corrective, and for stout women is better than any anti-fat medicine ever invented. Glycerine and lemon juice, half and half, on a bit of absorbent cotton, is the best thing in the world wherewith to molsten the lips and tongue of a fever-parched patient. The finest of manicure acids is made by putting a teaspoonful of lemon juice in a cupful of warm water. This removes most stains from the fingers and nails, and loosens the cuticle more satisfactorily than can be done by the use of a sharp instrument. Lemon juice and salt will remove rust stains from linen without injury to the fabric. Wet the stains with the mixture and put the article in the sun. Two or three applications may be necessary if the stain is of long standing, but the remedy never fails. We have saved many doctor bills since we began using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in our home. We keep a bottle open all the time, and whenever any of my family or myself begin to catch cold we begin to use the Cough Remedy, and as a result we never have to send away for a doctor and incur a large doctor bill, for Chamberlain's Cough Remedy never falls to cure. It is certainly a medicine of great merit and worth.-D. S. MEARKLE, general merchant and farmer, Mattie, Bedford county, Pa. For sale by P. A. Derge.

Activated fruits were first brought California from the south. Miswork among the Indians of Lower California was actually begun by the establishment of the mission at Loreto Calviatierra, October 19, 1697. The growing years horses and cattle wereight from Mexico, and from this production came ultimately the vastas which roamed the hills and plains California. Probably the first seedsplants of cultivated vegetablesand wascame about the same time, forhe was a small garden and a fewtrees at Loreto in 1701. But Lowwas not fitted for horticulture, andthe same year an expedition in chargeofather Ugarte, who is called the leader of agriculture in Lower Californiacrossed over the mountains to a suitable location at the mission ofGeorge Blaundo, which had beendesigned some time before by hostileInss. Ugarte restored the mission,the irrigating ditches, and plantedtrees and vines. This effort was successful from a horticultural pointof view, for in 1707 Ugarte made morethan would suffice for mission use,resent some to Mexico in exchangefor other goods. Thus began the extrade in California wine. The Jesuits continued their establishment of missions in LowerCalifornia until there were fifteen missions,of which there were vineyardspresumably as many or morewhich had gardens with fruit trees.The variety of fruits grown inLowerCalifornia was small. They had figs,anges, citrons, pomegranates,plants,and some olives and dates.There were no North European fruits,withwere turned to good account by theearly American settlers; the olive andthe vine furnished cuttings for most ofthe plantations made during the firsttwenty years or more of American occupation. But it seems that not all the missionchards were permitted to fall into decayafter the secularization. In 1846Bryant found at the mission of San Josetwo gardens inclosed by high adobewalls. The area was from 15 to 20 acres,all of which was planted with fruittrees and vines. There were about 600pear trees, and a large number ofapple and peach trees, all bearing fruitin great abundance, the quality of thepears being excellent, the apples andpeaches indifferent. Other visitorsto some of the mission orchardsbetween the events of secularization andAmerican occupation speak of beingregaled with pears and milk, a dishwhich seemed to them ambrosial afterthe weary journeys overland acrossthe deserts, or after months of ship fare. There were quite considerableplantations, chiefly of mission grapesand oranges, by early settlers in theneighborhood of Los Angeles. General Bidwell says he saw in Los Angeles in1845 the largest vineyards that hehad seen in California, and the vineswerethe most thrifty. Wine was also abundant—even the Angelica. Los Angeles had orchards, also, mostly of oranges.The largest orange orchards at thattime were those of Wolskill, Carpenterand Louis Vigne. Among the early planters of missionfruits in the northern part of the Statewas Yount, who planted vines in Napa valley in 1838, and other fruits laterJohn Wolfskill of Winters, saw grapesand peaches at Yount's in 1841, and J.M. Pleasant took peach pits fromYount's over into Pleasant's valley,Solano county, in 1851. Dr. Marsh, onhis place at the base of Mount Diablo,had, in 1842, a mission grape vineyardmore than an acre in extent, and ingood bearing. Mr. Wolskill planteda few vines on Putah Creek in 1842. After the incoming of Americans in1849 some of the old mission trees were WATER STORAGE Would Mean Great Mining Development—Untold Mineral Wealth DependentUpon Irrigation. [CONTRIBUTED TO THE GAZETTE.] A great share of the West is todayalmost as much an undiscovered countryas it was before the cry of gold washeard from California. Mountains oftentold richness lie undeveloped anddesolate, surrounded by burningplainsand barren wastes. Not only gold butthe baser metals are locked in countlesstons in the rocky bosom ofthe Western Sierras. And why are theynot mined? Why does not capital flowin to make the boulder and the earthunburden their treasures for man's use.Why? Because of lack of water.Because of lack of transportation.Torrents of immense volume rush downthe slopes during the period of meltingsnows, and spread away in glisteningstreams through the brown valleys orover broader plains; but in a littlewhile their volume wanes and anonthey are but dry beds of sand,supportingno life or growth. Yet, werethe vast bulk of this waste water storedin mountain reservoirs it would affordaperennial supply, capable of irrigatingmillions of acres of land whose greatfertility has lain dry and dormant forthousands of years. Then wouldthe mines be developed. In sections whereirrigation has forced its way, thererailroads have gladly followed;andwith the soil yielding the necessariesof life to man and beast in abundance,and with cheap transportation at hand,mines have been developed and addedmillions to the mineral output, whichotherwise would have lain dormantforever. The statement that the saying,"GoWest, young man," has lost its potencyand its force could never be made for The Jesuits continued their establishment of missions in Lower California until there were fifteen missions, five of which there were vineyards, presumably as many or more which had gardens with fruit trees. The variety of fruits grown in Lower California was small. They had figs, grapes, citrus, pomegranates, plums, and some olives and dates. There are no North European fruits, with exception of a few peaches, which never did not appear to thrive. The Jesuits were supplanted in Lower California in 1768, by the Franciscanus, led by Junipero Serra, once pressed northward, and ended the territory which is now the state of California. Their first establishment was at San Diego, in 1769. Since they proceeded northward, having many perils, and undergoing hardships, establishing missions through the coast region of the State, it is given to the secular head of expedition to San Diego, Don José de Galvez, representing the king Spain, for ordering the carrying of seeds of fruits, grains, vegetables and rivers into the new territory, and from the planting at San Diego the same societies were taken to the twenty missions afterwards established. It is of no little interest to ascertain how great a variety of fruits was grown these mission orchards. Vancouver, 1792, found a fine orchard at Santa Maria, with apple, peach, pear, apricot and fig trees, all thrifty and promising. Also describes, at the mission of San Gena Ventura, apples, pears, plums, oranges, grapes, peaches and mimegranates. Robinson described the roads connected with the mission of San Gabriel as very extensive, having among their trees oranges, citrons, apples, pears, peaches, pomeranates and figs. There were also maps in abundance. Edwin Bryant noticed at San Luis Obispo mission, the orange, fig, palm, olive and grape. At the mission of San Jose he found an incidence of fifteen or twenty acres, the whole of which was planted with trees and grape vines. The were 600 pear trees and a large number of apple and peach trees, all bearing fruit in great abundance and in full perfection. The quality of the pears he found excellent, that the apples and peaches indifferent. S. Capron, in a general enumeration of the fruits grown at the missions, includes cherries. Though the earlier Spanish population had the example of successful horticulture before them for half a century during the missions, they did not seem inclined to emulate the efforts of the adresses upon their own grounds, except occasional instances. General Valjo planted fruit trees in Sonoma valley as early as 1830, and of his place it said: "It is an old and well cultivated place, well known in all the northern portion of California while this State was still Mexican territory." Exceptions there were also, at the south. The largest orange orchards at that time were those of Wolskill, Carpenter and Louis Vigne. Among the early planters of mission fruits in the northern part of the State was Yount, who planted vines in Napa valley in 1838, and other fruits later. John Wolfskill of Winters, saw grapes and peaches at Yount's in 1841, and J. M. Pleasant took peach pits from Yount's over into Pleasant's valley, Solano county, in 1851. Dr. Marsh on his place at the base of Mount Diablo, had, in 1842, a mission grape vineyard more than an acre in extent, and in good bearing. Mr. Wolskill planted a few vines on Putah Creek in 1842. After the incoming of Americans in 1849 some of the old mission trees were secured by enterprising men, and made to renew their youth by pruning, cultivation and irrigation; that they might minister to the great demand for fruit which sprang up among the gold seekers. The trees richly reciprocated the care and attention given them. The first fruits offered for sale in the San Francisco markets were from the pear trees of Santa Clara and San Jose missions, and from the mission grape-vines of the same localities, and of Los Angeles county. These grapes, packed in sandy dust, came up the coast by steamer, and were re-shipped to the mining camps, arriving for the most part in good condition, and were very popular. It is recorded that 1500 tons of these grapes were sent from Los Angeles county to San Francisco and the mines in 1852. Another instance in which thrift followed neglect is seen in the fact that, in 1858, Don Andrés Vicco, who succeeded to possession of the chard at the San Fernando mission, did a considerable business in drying pears and other fruits, using the labor of the Indians. At the present time vestiges of the old mission orchards still remain, the pears and olives still bearing, and in some cases the old date palms guarding the desolate scenes, or standing as reminders of the old regime, while the new life of California is surging up around them. The second introduction of cultivated fruits to California was by the Russians. The exact date of their planting at Fort Ross, on the ocean side in Mendocino county, is not known but is believed to have been as early as 1812. The present owner of the property is Mr. G. W. Call, who says the survivors of the original planting look "very old and mossy," and are not thrifty, but still bear some fruit every year. They were planted too closely, and have undergone periods of neglect, no doubt. The trees are apple for the most part but there were also cherries, and some of both fruits survive. The trees are all believed to have been grown from seed, and if this be true some fortunate results were obtained; for there is still grown in Green valley, Sonoma county,a medium-sized bell-shaped apple lightly striped with red ,which is called the Fort Ross or Russian apple,and was probably propagated by grafts from the Fort Ross orchard. Seeds were also secured from this source for propagation of apple trees in early days in that section of the State. The first cultivated fruits of the old era came to California with the padres. The first fruits of the new era came with the American pioneers. Though not a little inquiry has been made,它 is not yet possible to declare definitely who brought the first budded or grafted trees upon California soil,and it is hoped that this statement may induce some one to disclose this historic fact,thesis is of much interest in view of our wonderful growth in fruit production.Permaps the first improved varieties of deciduous fruits arrived in 1846.B.M. Lelong secretary of the California Board of Horticulture says that it is a millions of acres of land whose great fertility has lain dry and dormant for thousands of years. Then would the mines be developed.In sections where irrigation has forced its way,the railroads have gladly followed;and with the soil yielding the necessaries of life to man and beast in abundance,and with cheap transportation at hand,mines have been developed and added millions to the mineral output which otherwise would have lain dormant forever. The statement that the saying,"Go West young man,"has lost its potency and its force could never be made for many years to come; if a policy of internal improvement should be adopted which would water the millions of arces of Western public land now lying arid.As "All that tread the globe are but a handful To the tribes that slumber in its bosom." So the present population of the great West is but a vanguard of the multitudes of industrious workers who would build up beautiful homes and rear happy families;were the waters which now go to the sea in prodigal waste; stored bythe government and used to reclaimthe fertile lands which today support onlythe cactus plant andthe horned toad.A striking instance of what has been accomplishedin the West,and what possibilities lie awaiting development,may be found in Californiawhich with all its great agricultural wealth has still 58,000,000 acresof government land—more than halfthe areaoftheState—and17,-000,000acresofwhichare susceptibleof irrigation.Yet,the city of Chicago has today a larger population than California. The inexhaustible fertility of many irrigated fields is a source of considerable wonder tothe farmer dependent upon rain for his crops,and must each year apply large quantitiesof fertilizerto his fieldsin orderto producegood yields;ifnot to preventabsolute soil exhaustion.This phenomenonof irrigationis easily explained.Analysesofthewatersofvariousriversandspringsandevenartesianwellsshowa constituencyof certainchemicalswhichformthe bulkofplantfood,suchforinstance，aspotashandnitrogen.FromFrenchexperimentsitis concludedthatanacreoflandirrigatedwiththequantityofwatergenerallyusedinFrancewouldreceivetherefromasmuchpotashaswouldbe furnishedbyanapplicationofthirtyloadsordinarystablemanure.Insomecasesexperimentshave shownthatthemineralsubstancessuppliedbythewaterinexcessoftheneedsofthecrop.Inallwaterwhichcomesfromdiversionsofriversorstoragereservoirsthereisinadditiontochemicalconstituencyofplantfood,moreorlesssolidmatter.The mudoroozeheldin suspensionin irrigationwaters,and suppliedbytomothesoil,cannotfailtoaddtoitsfertilityThus,irrigationwaterisaconstantsourceofenrichment,andfieldswhichhavebeenwateredforhundredsfyearsareasproductiveandfertileoneyearasanother,forytheapplicationofwatersuppliesthemwithbothfoodanddrink.

General Valverde planted fruit trees in Sonoma valley as early as 1830, and of his place it is said: "It is an old and well cultivated place, well known in all the northern portion of California while this State was still Mexican territory." Exceptions there were, also, at the south. The old fruit garden on the Cumulos Sancho, in Ventura county, has become famous. Fremont, writing of his observation in 1846, says that among the world, brush-covered hills south of San Diego, he found little valleys converted by a single spring into crowded gardens, where pears, peaches, quinces, homegranates, grapes, olives and other fruits grew luxuriantly together. Scarcely had six years elapsed subsequent to the settlement of the pueblo of San Jose on its present site, before the inhabitants were enjoying the benefits of luxurious fruits. Before 1806 more was grown than could be disposed in its natural state. The decline of most of the mission orchards and gardens followed the secularization of the establishments in 1834. There were a few exceptions, where the mission lands fell into enterprising Spanish or American hands. During the years of neglect the more tender trees died, and the more hardy survived. The pear and the olive vied with the vine in withstanding drought and the trampling and browsing of the cattle that roamed unmolested through the deserted gardens. These pears The first cultivated fruits of the old era came to California with the padres. The first fruits of the new era came with the American pioneers. Though not a little inquiry has been made, it is not yet possible to declare definitely who brought the first budded or grafted trees upon California soil, and it is hoped that this statement may induce some one to disclose this historic fact, which is of much interest in view of our wonderful growth in fruit production. Perhaps the first improved varieties of deciduous fruits arrived in 1846. B.M. Lelong, secretary of the California Board of Horticulture, says that it is a tradition in his family that his father, the late Martin Lelong, who came to California as a member of Stevenson's regiment, brought with him a small lot of French varieties of apples growing in a box, and that they were planted in Los Angeles. In the fall of 1849 W.H. Nash, now a resident of San Francisco, joined with R.L. Kilburn in ordering from a nursery in western New York a small box of thirty-six fruit trees, which packed in moss, well survived the journey around the Horn, arriving and being planted in Napa valley in the spring of 1850. The shipment included Rhode Island Greening, Roxbury Russet, Winesap, Red Romanite, Esopus Splitzengburg apples; Bartlett and Seckel pears; Black Tartarian and Bigarreau cherries. Before this introduction of grafted fruit trees, and indeed, for several years afterwards, there were many shipments of fruit tree seeds from the Eastern States to California. Mr. Barnett of Napa planted Kentucky seed as early as 1847. T.K. Stewart said that he brought to California with him, in 1848, about 200 pounds of vegetable and fruit seeds, the latter including peach, pear and apple, all of which were planted on the American river, within Continued on Fourth Page. Hood's Sarsaparilla America's Greatest Medicine Best that Money Can Buy Thus, irrigation water is a constant source of enrichment, and fields which have been watered for hundreds of years are as productive and fertile one year as another, for the application of water supplies them with both food and drink. Under the magic kiss of the mountain stream, fed by the melting snows, the brown desert of the great arid West becomes the field of waving grain, the golden orchard or the purple vineyard of a thriving and populous community. Guy E. Mitchell. Washington, D.C., March 16. It is very hard to stand idly by and see our dear ones suffer while awaiting the arrival of the doctor. An Albany (N.Y.) dairyman called at a drug store there for a doctor to come and see his child, then very sick with croup. Not finding the doctor in, he left word for him to cone at once on his return. He also bought a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which he hoped would give some relief until the doctor should arrive. In a few hours he returned, saying the doctor need not come, as the child was much better. The druggist, Mr. Otto Scholz, says the family has since recommended Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to their neighbors and friends until he has a constant demand for it from that part of the country.
