SURVEY OF RUNNING STREAMS A Congressional Appropriation to Continue the Investigation of the Department of Agriculture. [CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE] WASHINGTON, June 7, 1900. The gauging of streams in the South Atlantic and other southern States by the government may not seem a matter of very great importance or interest to the people of the arid region of the West, nevertheless it is likely to be a means of helping them materially. For years the West has had to make its fight for irrigation surveys alone, with but little assistance from Senators or Congressmen east of the humid line; it was a matter in which they had little interest, though some of them might recognize the justice of such appropriations. But during recent years the people of the South, where manufacturing enterprises have been springing up like mushrooms in the night, have come to the realization of the importance and necessity of the work of the Geological Survey, especially in its measurements and gauging of streams available for power to be used in manufacturing plants. And so now, when the question arose the other day of allowing an increased appropriation to the Geological Survey for irrigation surveying and investigation in the semi-arid and arid West and for stream gauging in all the States, those who always take occasion to oppose such appropriations, suddenly found lined up against them Southern Senators who expressed their determination to co-operate with Western representatives in behalf of this needed government work. The vigorous words of Senator Butler of North Carolina in the United States Senate in favor of this appropriation show that the manufacturing sections of the South highly appreciate the value of this work and that henceforth they will sympathetically join hands with the arid region to procure necessary national legislation along these lines. Congress will one day wake up to the fact that the arid empire in the West needs but moderate attention from the government—less than the rivers and "Seeing is Believing." When you see people cured by a remedy, you must believe in its power. Look around you. Friends, relatives, neighbors all say that Hood's Sarsaparilla, America's Greatest Medicine, cleansed the blood of their dear ones and they rise en masse to sing its praises. There's nothing like it in the world to purify the blood. Hood's Sarsaparilla Never Disappoints Rural Free Mail Deliveru. Continued from First Page. ment, the plan has been adopted of favoring those regions in which the roads are best, and as a consequence there has been a general improvement in the condition of roads traversed by rural carriers. This has been especially the case in the West, and it accounts for the apparent preference accorded to Ohio and Indiana, in which States the construction of good roads has been a prerequisite to the establishment of a rural free delivery service. In one county of Indiana the farmers incurred an expense of $2,000 to grade and improve a road in order to obtain free delivery. The traditional policy of the Postoffice Department is constantly to extend its operation, taking irrespective of the volume of revenue derived, no steps backward, and it has been found generally that as the expenses increase, the revenues increase correspondingly. Thus, where rural free delivery has been established, the number of letters written and the number of letters received have increased, and in some cases to an extent sufficiently large to make up for the additional outlay caused by the delivery. A Pennsylvania farmer made recently a computation which other farmers have approved, and the Postoffice Department has thought worthy of publication to the effect that, on an average, every farmer not served by rural free delivery goes at least once or twice a week to the nearest postoffice for his mail, and occupies one-third of a working day on the trip. Putting the value of the time thus lost in the busy farming season at 50 cents a head, the total loss would run up to many million dollars. It has been found generally that while Congress is reluctant to authorize some postal expenditures, the popularity of Congress will one day wake up to the fact that the arid empire in the West needs but moderate attention from the government—less than the rivers and harbors get—to be transformed from desert wastes into prosperous small farms and to contain a dense population—an upbuilding of rural homes on the public domain to form, as Secretary of Agriculture Wilson says, "sure safeguards of the Republic." There is no more vital question to the West today than irrigation development. What the West is today she has become in a large measure through irrigation and what she will develop into in the future will be largely due to the same cause. The union of land with the waste waters which now flow uselessly to the sea during flood seasons will mean the incarnation of an inland empire and the up-building of rural homes to conquer and occupy the desert. Congress again showed its interest in and friendliness for irrigation in the West by raising last year's appropriation of $35,000 to $50,000 for continuing the irrigation investigation of the Department of Agriculture during the coming year. This work is proving of great value to the arid region. Burnt from one end of the year to the other by a sun that rarely hides itself, and deprived of the kindly influence of rain, Egypt only exists by the Nile, and this river, in order to carry to her the tribute of its fecundating waters produced by tropical rains, is obliged to meander for many hundred miles between arid banks and savage rocks without a single drop of water from the brassy heavens, or a particle of percolation from streams or springs, coming to compensate its losses for evaporation and infiltration and diversion for irrigation. And so the Nile's volume, instead of increasing as it nears its mouth, steadily decreases. A Sprained Ankle Quickly Cured. "At one time I suffered from a severe sprain of the ankle," says Geo. E. Cary, editor of the Guide, Washington, Va. "After using several well recommended medicines without success, I tried Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and am pleased to say that relief came as soon as I began its use and a complete cure speedily followed."

Free trade upon the sea has so decimated our shipping during the same time, that we have but one-third as much tonnage under our flag today as we had forty some cases to an extent sufficiently large to make up for the additional outlay caused by the delivery.

Putting the value of the time thus lost in the busy farming season at 50 cents a head, the total loss would run up to many million dollars. It has been found generally that while Congress is reluctant to authorize some postal expenditures, the popularity of rural free delivery among farmers is such as to make probable a further increase in the appropriation next year New York Sun. Street Incident. "My Dear Sir," exclaimed Lawyer Bartholomew Livingston, meeting the Rev. Dr. Archibald Windham on the village street, "What does this mean? I thought you were laid up with all sorts of bad diseases!" "And so I was," replied the reverend gentleman, "I had an attack of indigestion and from that time on my whole system has been in a disordered condition until I began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla which has put me on my feet and cured all my stomach troubles." "I don't doubt it," said the lawyer. This same medicine cured my wife of rheumatism and my little girl of scrofula. When they say it's the best medicine money can buy, they only tell the truth." "Yes, yes, so they do," replied the minister, and the two passed on. Money for Irrigation. WASHINGTON, June 7.—There is joy among the irrigation folks over the outcome of the appropriation for irrigation purposes, which finally went into the sundry civil bill, and was agreed to by both houses of Congress. This item appropriates the sum of $100,000 for irrigation surveys during the coming year. Last session only $50,000 was appropriated. When the sundry civil bill was made up last winter the appropriation committee in the House put in an item of $50,000 for irrigation. The Senate increased this sum to $250,000, and after a long contest between the two houses, $100,000 was finally agreed upon to stand in the bill.

Protection has built up the great land industries of the United States until they are able to make the country unprecedentedly prosperous. Free trade upon the sea has so decimated our shipping during the same time, that we have but one-third as much tonnage under our flag today as we had forty years ago, although our commerce is four times as great now as it was then. The shipping bill, now pending in Congress, would, if adopted, change all this. Off the track means great disaster when applied to a fast express train. It is just as bad when it refers to disordered blood or deranged stomach. Hood's Sarsaparilla puts the wheels back on the track by curing the troubles. Indigestion, nausea, cured by Hood's Pills.

There will be no division encampment of the National Guardsmen this year. Governor Gage has issued the following order cancelling it, but indicating there may be brigade encampments: "EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, "State of California, June 6." Brigadier-General W. H. Seamans, Adjutant General of California—Sir: In reply to your inquiry about holding a division encampment of the National Guard of California during the present year, I hasten to inform you that I deem it inexpedient to issue an order for such encampment. "I shall, however, consider the matter of ordering encampments by brigade or otherwise, and will acquaint you with my determination in this matter in the near future. Respectfully, 'HENRY T. GAGE, "Governor and Commander in Chief." Governor Gage refuses to discuss the matter. The encampment would cost the State in the neighborhood of $20,000, and this may be the reason for negation of the division encampment project. Some of the officers take hope in the reference in the Governor's message to the brigade encampments. Try Allen's Foot-Ease, A powder to be shaken into the shoes.
