SOME TYPICAL RESERVOIRS
Report of Elwood Mead in the Year Book of the Department of Agriculture.
The year book just issued by the Department of Agriculture contains a chapter on reservoirs by Elwood Mead, from which the following extract is taken:
During the two years ended December 1, 1900, there were issued permits for the construction of reservoirs as follows: By the State engineer of Colorado, 147; by the State engineer of Wyoming, 77. The fact that surveys, plans and estimates for 224 of these works have been made in two States in two years shows that activity in reservoir construction is not confined to efforts to secure government aid, but that large sums of money are being expended in the construction of private reservoirs.
An inquiry into this subject reveals a potent cause for this activity. Reservoirs are being built because those now in operation are profitable. These have paid their builders, and are benefiting the community they serve in a surprising degree.
It is our purpose to describe some typical reservoirs of the Rocky Mountain States, to show how widely they differ from the usual idea that a reservoir requires a lofty dam across a remote and precipitous mountain canyon. The operation of these reservoirs will also be outlined, in order to show when they are filled, when the water is used, and the benefits derived from them.
The valley of the Arkansas river in Colorado and Kansas has some of the largest and best examples of private irrigation reservoirs. The operation of the Twin Lakes reservoir at the headwaters of the Arkansas, has been particularly interesting and instructive. Here the water is stored in the mountains, carried down in the reservoir to the plains, and there disposed of to settlers under canals built before the reservoir was seriously thought of. The reservoir systems of the Poudre and Big Thompson valleys in Colorado and the Canyon Creek reservoir in Utah have been selected for description, because nearly all of them are cooperative enterprises, built and owned by the farmers using their water. With two exceptions, they belong to the class of storage works suited to private ownership, and illustrate, therefore, a kind of development shade trees and orchards, much less to mature their crops, or even the more valuable products. Farmers, as they looked upon their parched fields, thought regretfully of the water which had run to waste a few days before, and realized that their losses were not due to a scanty supply, but to its faulty distribution. To remedy this the floods had to be held back until they were needed, and farmers began to provide for this.
In order to do this it was not necessary to explore the mountains for reservoir sites and build costly dams across canyons. Nature had made ready for this need when it should appear by providing storage sites amidst the fields where the water was to be used. These valleys, like all the country along the eastern base of the Rocky Mountains, slope away from the mountains with a fall varying from 10 to 25 feet per mile. Scattered over this incline are depressions which can be filled from the canals which cross the slope above them and be emptied by means of cuts or tunnels on the lower side. Some of these basins have natural outlets which have to be dammed. Where a reservoir outlet is too low to irrigate the lands of it owners, an exchange is made with the holder of early appropriations, giving the stored water for an equal volume from the stream. The upper canals fill the reservoirs and the lower canals take the water from these reservoirs in times of shortage, leaving the water of the streams to the upper canals. Such is a brief outline of the system. The large number of separate reservoirs it includes prevents describing each one separately. Those selected are among the most important.
A TYPICAL RESERVOIR OF THE CACHE LA POUDRE VALLEY
The Larimer and Weld reservoir covers 470 acres, is 31 feet deep, and holds 6,887 acre-feet of water. It is owned by a stock company composed of some of the landowners under the Larimer and Weld canal. There are 186 shareholders, each owning 4 shares of stock. These 4 shares constitute one right, which is supposed to irrigate 25 acres.
The original cost of the reservoir was $69,978.31, or almost $365 a right. The rights are now worth $1200 each. To maintain this reservoir costs about $600 a year. Construction began May 15, 1891, and the reservoir was enlarged in the fall of 1894 to its present number of deaths from consumption.
The country is thoroughly aroused to seed of doing something to stop savages of the deadly germ of this case. Several states have made little appropriations for sanitariums in farable climates. The medical skill of world is enlisted to fight consumption. Yet in spite of all that is done, there seems to gain ground instead losing it.

Here the water is stored in the mountains, carried down in the reservoir to the plains, and there disposed of to settlers under canals built before the reservoir was seriously thought of. The reservoir systems of the Poudre and Big Thompson valleys in Colorado and the Canyon Creek reservoir in Utah have been selected for description, because nearly all of them are cooperative enterprises, built and owned by the farmers using their water. With two exceptions, they belong to the class of storage works suited to private ownership, and illustrate, therefore, a kind of development which ought to be encouraged.
A stranger traveling through the irrigated valleys of the Poudre and Big Thompson rivers, if he ignored the mountain background, might readily imagine himself in the lake region of Wisconsin or Minnesota. There is nothing in the surrounding country to suggest aridity, but exactly the reverse. The cultivated fields show no lack of moisture, while the district is dotted in every direction by lakes and ponds. Surrounded by prosperous and highly cultivated farms, with margins bordered by trees and bushes, these bodies of water form an attractive feature of the landscape. They harmonize so well with their surroundings and have such an appearance of age and stability that one can scarcely realize that they are all the results of the work of the farmers, and that a quarter of a century ago none of them were in existence.
Most of these basins are irrigating reservoirs. From them hundreds of farmers draw their water supply during the latter part of the summer. Without them the most valuable crops could not be grown. They are as essential to the success of irrigation as the canals or laterals which distribute water, and their construction has proven far more profitable. There are 27 of these artificial lakes under the ditches of the Poudre valley and 34 under the Big Thompson ditches. They vary in size from 20 to 700 acres, and cover in the aggregate a considerable percentage of the irrigated territory. Those in the Poudre valley cover altogether about 4,969 acres, or about 1 acre in 35 of the land under cultivation, and hold 54,683 acre-feet (an acre-foot is 43,560 cubic feet, or water sufficient to cover an acre of land to the depth of 1 foot), or water enough to cover all the land now being irrigated to a depth of almost 4 inches. The reservoirs in the Big Thompson valley occupy about 1 acre in 40 of the irrigable land, and out of the 34,25 store 45,000 acre-feet of water, or more than enough to cover the whole irrigated district to a depth of 6 inches.
WHY THE RESERVOIRS WERE BUILT
At the outset the farmers of these valleys irrigated directly from the rivers. When their natural flow filled the canals, the farmers had abundant harvests; when the rivers ran dry, the farmers saw their crops wither and perish, but this latter was rarely the case at first. Wheat and native hay were the leading crops, and as these were irrigated while the mountain covers 470 acres, is 31 feet deep, and holds 6,887 acre-feet of water. It is owned by a stock company composed of some of the landowners under the Laramie and Weld canal. There are 186 shareholders, each owning 4 shares of stock. These 4 shares constitute one right, which is supposed to irrigate 25 acres.
The original cost of the reservoir was $69,978.31, or almost $365 a right. The rights are now worth $1200 each. To maintain this reservoir costs about $600 a year. Construction began May 15, 1891, and the reservoir was enlarged in the fall of 1894 to its present capacity. Its owners began to fill it for the season of 1901 in October, 1900, and completed the filling during the spring floods of May and June, 1901. By July 1st the reservoir was full. The use of water from it began August 3d, and continued at intervals until September 10th, when the reservoir was emptied. The water was used for the irrigation of potatoes and sugar beets, and without it there would have been no crop of either under this canal. When water is discharged from the reservoir the volume is measured by a weir in the outlet ditch. It is then measured to the owners of the rights by means of a weir in each lateral.
The original outlet of this basin has been closed by an embankment 1 mile long and 12 feet high. This embankment is of earth, 15 feet wide on top, with slopes inside and outside of 3 to 1. The inside slope is riprappped with flat stone. When the embankment was built the site was plowed, so that the new earth would join properly with the natural surface. The bank was then built in layers by scrapers and teams, each layer being well tamped. At the foot of the embankment on the inside of the reservoir the natural soil was plowed out and the hollow filled with fresh earth. This was done to close all prairie-dog holes and to more effectively prevent seepage.
The outlet works are built on a slate foundation. They consist of 65 feet of stone arch in front of the gate well and 100 feet of concrete pipe behind it. The stone arch is built on a concrete base, and the well is 36 feet deep. Behind the well are two 35-inch cement pipes, 100 feet long, laid side by side, 8 inches apart, with 8 inches of concrete over and around them, and there is a stone collar built around the pipes every 20 feet. As a further precaution against seepage, the wall just back of the gates was extended for 50 feet on each side. For 20 feet on each side it was founded on the natural slate. After that the trench was not dug so deep. The gates are of oak, 42 inches square and 4 inches thick. They are raised by screws threaded 4 threads tothe inch. These gates leak a little while they are being set, but after the water is drawn off for the season care is taken to see that they set properly, and they soon become tight.
To be continued next week.
Small Goins
The merchants of the nation are clamoring for small change. The Christmas trade will be on shortly, and the applications for small coins are number of deaths from consumption.
The country is thoroughly aroused to seed of doing something to stop avalanches of the deadly germ of this ease. Several states have made librarians appropriations for sanitariums in far-flung climates. The medical skill of world is enlisted to fight consumption. Yet in spite of all that is done, there seems to gain ground instead losing it.
THE FORCE OF HABIT
is strong with us. We are so accustomed to world wide prevalence of this sumption that we accept it practically a necessary evil. If some strange case were to break out, and des human life to the same extent as a consumption, such a disease would looked upon as an appalling place. Quarantine would be established again it, and days of fasting and prayer pointed by the churches for the mission of the disease. But we accept this sumption as inevitable because of familiarity.
How true this is may be judged from recent report of Sanitary Officer Gorgoff Havana, Cuba. It has been cableled United States that yellow fever epidemic in Havana. Dr. Gorgoff swerded that there is no epidemic says: "In the past month there were 72 deaths from consumption and 52 yellow fever. Yellow fever there should not be considered epidemic rather than consumption."
What light that throws on our acceptance of consumption! A scarce raised that yellow fever is epidemic cause of 52 deaths in one month. No word was said as to consumption within in the same month claimed 72 victims over 35% more than died of yellow fever.
The great question is: Why?
Best Liniment on Earth
I. M. McHany, Greenville, Tenn writes, Nov. 2, 1900: "I had rheumatism last winter, was down in bed weeks; tried everything, but got no lief till a friend gave me a part bottle of Ballard's Snow Liniment used it and got two more bottles cured me and I haven't felt any matism since. I can recommend S Liniment to be the best linimeter earth for rheumatism." For rheumatism sciatic or neuralgic pains, rub in Ballard's Snow Liniment. You will suffer long, but will be gratified with speedy and effective cure. 25c., and $1 at Hatzfeld's drugstore.
Northern and Northern Pacific Several conferences have been held gardening the matter and no settler has been reached. The last conference was held at Chicago on Friday and attended by J.C. Stubbs of Herman lines; Vice-president Boswain and General Passenger Agent Kenthe Canadian Pacific; General Passenger Agents Fee and Whitney of Northern Pacific and Great North American Agent Fall of the Union Pacific and Darius Miller of the Burlington.
The northern lines complain that cheap rates which are employed on western lines during the summers destroy the northern hard-of tourist travel during the summer
WHY THE RESERVOIRS WERE BUILT
At the outset the farmers of these valleys irrigated directly from the rivers. When their natural flow filled the canals, the farmers had abundant harvests; when the rivers ran dry, the farmers saw their crops wither and perish, but this latter was rarely the case at first. Wheat and native hay were the leading crops, and as these were irrigated while the mountain snows were melting and the rivers were high there were few complaints of drought. All this was changed when fruit-farming gave way to diversified crops, and alfalfa and potatoes became important products. Then water for late irrigation became a paramount necessity, and the natural flow of these streams failed to supply the demand. When the snows on the mountains disappeared, the water in these streams shrank, not slowly, but suddenly. The irrigator who quit work on Saturday night with all the water he needed often found when he attempted to resume his labors Monday that his ditch was empty. After July 15th the early appropriators controlled both rivers. There was not enough left for later appropriators to keep alive.
All Stuffed Up
That's the condition of many sufferers from catarrh, especially in the morning. Great difficulty is experienced in clearing the head and throat.
No wonder catarrh causes headache, impairs the taste, smell and hearing, pollutes the breath, deranges the stomach and affects the appetite.
To cure catarrh, treatment must be constitutional—alterative and tonic.
"I was afflicted with catarrh. I took medicines of different kinds, giving each a fair trial; but gradually grew worse until I could hardly hear, trade on smell. I then concluded to try Hood's Sarsaparilla, and after taking five bottles I was cured and have not had any return of the disease since." Eugene Forbes, Lebanon, Kan.
Hood's Sarsaparilla
Cures catarrh—it soothes and strengthens the mucous membrane and builds up the whole system.
Small Coins
The merchants of the nation are clamoring for small change. The Christmas trade will be on shortly, and the applications for small coins are pouring in upon the country's subtreasuries. The amount is limited, and there is apparently no way of meeting the demand.
In his recommendations for legislation affecting the mints of the United States, Director Roberts will urge strongly that Congress remove the limit upon the amount of subsidiary silver coin that may be put out by the mint. Under the law as it now stands the total stock of subsidiary coin is limited to $100,000,000. Of this amount there remains in the treasury and in the subtreasuries only about $7,000,000. The country has absorbed the balance of the $100,000,000 that has been coined, and the retail business interests are apt to be seriously cramped for small coins during the holiday trade of this year.
Director Roberts believes that there should be no limit upon the amount of subsidiary coinage that may be prepared by the mints. If coined, the money will remain in the treasury until the business of the country demands it, because it cannot be forced out into circulation by the treasury, and will go out only where there is a demand for it. On the other hand, when the demand falls off the coins are returned to the treasury by the banks, so that the circulation of subsidiary coins is automatic.
Northerners Object
A strong probability exists that cheap passenger rates will not be put into effect in the territory west of Chicago during 1903. A movement is on foot to abrogate cheap rates for conventions and gatherings to which they have usually been accorded, rates for excursionists and rates for colonists.
The movement is due to a determined protest made by the so-called northern lines—the Canadian Pacific, the Great
BARGAIN BABIES
If babies were for sale the most important enterprise bargain-hunting woman in world would not look for a bargain be bought; regardless of price.
Every woman naturally craves healthy, handsome child, and her cunning can be gratified if she will but number that the child's health is not own gift, and to give health she mustaternity, encouraging the appetite quieting the nerves and inducing fresh sleep. It gives the mother strength to give her child, and makes the baby's advent practically painless.
"My wife had been sick nearly all her life says Mr. R. E. Pricke, of Petersburg, Mennon Co., Illinois, Box 367," and after trying everything I could think of I made up my mindry 'Favorite Prescription.' I got six bottles which my wife took, a tablespoonful three times a day, until the babye came. She felt better after using the first bottle, and when baby born he weighed nine and a half pounds. Day he is six months old and weight twenty-pounds. He is as good a child as any one can wish. The doctor says he is as healthy as you 'Favorite Prescription' was the cause of such healthy baby."
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are best and safest laxative for the use delicate women.
IN DEADLY PERIL.
Narrow Path of Safety.
Alpine tourist who finds himself only clinging with feet and fingers self of slippery rock overhanging a precipice, understands in a very sense the full meaning of the "There is but a step between me death." His peril is so tragic in all circumstances, so wild in its mountain that the heart almost stands still thought of it.
As a matter of fact every man in the world with his life in his hand and the path of safety is narrow is feet.
Example of the constant peril in which live is found in the alarming sumption so widespread? The answer is found in the general neglect of diseases which if neglected or unskillfully treated find a fatal termination in consumption.
THE GERM OF CONSUMPTION IS HITIRELY HARMLESS
when the lungs are healthy. In a condition of health these germs are received with impunity. It is only when the lungs are "weak" that the germ is dangerous. For this reason the real danger to be guarded against is the incipient weakness of the lungs, the severe cold, the deep cough, and other affections of the organs of respiration. These diseases can be cured perfectly and permanently by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
"I was troubled with a bad cold, which settled on my lungs and left me with a miserable cough," writes Mr. Joseph D. Burns, of 318 Huestis St., Ithaca, N. Y.
"I used two bottles of your 'Golden Medical Discovery,' after which my cough disappeared entirely. I cannot recommend your medicine too highly."
But "Golden Medical Discovery" is not a mere cough medicine. The cures of deep-seated coughs, bronchitis, etc., are but slight tests of the merit of this medicine. In many cases where there were hemorrhages, night-sweats, emaciation, and every symptom of disease which usually terminates fatally in consumption, "Golden Medical Discovery" has effected a lasting cure.
"I take great pleasure in sending you this testimonial," writes Mr. Will H. Whitmire, of Arkton, Rockingham Co., Va., "and to tender you my heartfelt thanks for the restoration to health of my son, A. P. Whitmire, through the use of 'Golden Medical Discovery' and 'Pleasant Pellets.'"
"Our son contracted a deep cold, and had a terrible cough. We called a doctor and he pronounced it irritation of the bronchial tubes, with asthmatic trouble, and he informed me that my son was liable to die at any time. He told me that if we could keep the bronchial tubes open, he might cure him; but after treating him several weeks and my son growing worse all the time, I concluded to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and 'Pleasant Pellets.' I had seen several miraculous cures brought about by the use of these medicines, and, of course, I had wonderful faith in them. I am so happy to tell you that I have not been disappointed, and that my boy is well. He used three bottles of 'Golden Medical Discovery' at home and one vial of the 'Pellets,' and was then well enough to go to West."
FACTS ABOUT ANAHEIM.
Sketch of the industries and Resources or this Most Beautiful Part of California.
The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 4½ miles from the foot-hills, and 148½ feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California.
The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east.
The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc.
The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds.
Anaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association, Water company, two railroads, fruit cannery and drier, large oil industry, ostrich farm, bank, several adequate commercial houses, two hotels and two newspapers. The city also owns its water and lighting plant.
HOT of deaths from consumption. Country is thoroughly aroused to the loss of doing something to stop the spread of the deadly germ of this disease. Several states have made liberal appropriations for sanitaries in favor of it. The medical skill of the doctors is enlisted to fight consumption. Despite all that is done, the dismeets to gain ground instead of it.
THE FORCE OF HABIT
Giving with us. We are so accustomed to the world wide prevalence of condition that we accept it practically as necessary evil. If some strange diseases were to break out, and destroy life to the same extent as does consumption, such a disease would be laid upon as an appalling plague. Antine would be established against days of fasting and prayer applied by the churches for the mitigation of the disease. But we accept condition as inevitable because of its harrity. Now this is may be judged from a report of Sanitary Officer Gorgas, Ivana, Cuba. It has been cabled to United States that yellow fever wasemic in Havana. Dr. Gorgas and that there is no epidemic. He "In the past month there were riffs from consumption and 52 from fever. Yellow fever therefore did not be considered epidemic more consumption."
The light that throws on our acceptance of consumption! A scar cry is that yellow fever is epidemic because of 52 deaths in one month. Not a was said as to consumption which same month claimed 72 victims, or 45% more than died of yellow fever. Why's condition be the best liniment on rheumatism? For rheumatic or neuralgic pains, rub in Ball-Snow Liniment. You will not long, but will be gratified with a mild and effective cure. 25c, 50c at Hatzfeld's drugstore.
Bern and the Northern Pacific conferences have been held regarding the matter and no settlement reached. The last conference held at Chicago on Friday and was led by J. C. Stubbs of the Harrisonines; Vice-president Bosworth General Passenger Agent Kerr of Canadian Pacific; General Passengers Fee and Whitney of the North Pacific and Great Northern; Agent Fall of the Union Paid Darius Miller of the Burlington lines complain that the rates which are employed by eastern lines during the summer destroy the northern harvest last travel during the summer.
Fighting Rubber Trust
Two hundred and fifty employees of the Mechanical Rubber company in Chicago went on a strike some days ago, the workers asserting that the company is controlled by the rubber trust and is at present filling orders that would under ordinary circumstances go to the Morgan & Wright factory, which was closed by a strike last week. The walkout was ordered last week, and when the employees of the company reached the plant next morning they found it guarded by over 100 pickets from the Morgan & Wright factory. Representatives of the company say their employees have no grievance and would have gone to work ala usual had they not been intimidated by the large number of pickets from the Morgan & Wright plant. General Organizer Dunn of the Rubber Workers' union denied the assertion. Labor men say no work will be done until the trust decides to recognize the union and its demands.
Jumped on a Ten Penny Nail
The little daughter of Mr. J. N. Powell jumped on an inverted rake made of ten penny nails, and thrust one nail entirely through her foot and a second half way through. Chamberlain's Pain Balm was promptly applied and five minutes later the pain had disappeared and no more suffering was experienced. In three days the child was wearing her shoe as usual and with absolutely no discomfort. Mr. Powell is a well known merchant of Forkland, Va. Pain Balm is an antiseptic and heals such injuries without maturation.
It irritation of the bronchial tubes, with asthmatic trouble, and he informed me that my son was liable to die at any time. He told me that if we could keep the bronchial tubes open, he might cure him; but after treating him several weeks and my son growing worse all the time, I concluded to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and 'Pleasant Pellets.' I had seen several miraculous cures brought about by use of these medicines, and, of course, I had wonderful faith in them. I am so happy to tell you that I have not been disappointed, and that my boy is well. He used three bottles of 'Golden Medical Discovery' at home and one vial of the 'Pellets,' and was then well enough to go to West Virginia, taking a supply with him. I am just in receipt of a letter from him from which I quote: 'I am well and hardy and getting very fleshy.' "The neighbors all knew the condition of my boy and they all said he had consumption and would not live a month, and the doctor told some persons after I commenced the use of your medicine that my boy had quick consumption and would have to die." Persons suffering from disease in chronic form are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free. All correspondence is held in strict privacy and sacred confidence. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N.Y.
Accept no substitute for the "Discovery." The main motive of substitution is to enable the dealer to make the little more profit paid by the sale of less meritorious medicines.

FACTS ABOUT ORANGE CO.
The census bureau has issued a bulletin on agriculture in California which we quote from extensively in another part of this issue. One of the interesting features of the report is the paragraph giving the number of farms and acres of farming lands in the five Southern California counties. The pre-eminence of Orange county is apparent:
Counties: No farms. Acres:
Los Angeles: 6977 885,063
Orange: 2388 599,436
Riverside: 2340 427,067
San Bernardino: 2350 219,152
San Diego: 2698 869,419
But it is in the acreage of irrigated lands that Orange county takes easy precedence over the other counties of Southern California:

"Last winter an infant child of mine had croup in a violent form," says Elder John W. Rogers, a Christian evangelist of Filley, Mo. "I gave her a few doses of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and in a short time all danger was past and the child recovered." This remedy not only cures croup, but when given as soon as the first symptoms appear will prevent the attack. It contains no opium or other harmful substance, and may be given as confidently to a baby as to an adult. For sale by all druggists.

A rural Virginia preacher took advantage of a neighborhood hullabaloo over a robbed chicken coop in the following manner:
"Dear friends, I see about to take up a election for to repair dis church, an iwan't to say dat if dar am any nigger here tonight' wha had a han' in stealin' Farmer Jones' chickens I doan' wan' him to put nuffin' in de plate."
Astounding Discovery
From Coopersville, Mich., comes word of a wonderful discovery of a pleasant tasting liquid that when used before retiring by any one troubled with a bad cough always ensures a good night's rest. "It will soon cure the cough too," writes Mrs. S. Himelburger, "for three generations of our family have used Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, and never found its equal for coughs and colds." It's an unruiled life-saver when used for desperate lung diseases. Guaranteed bottles 50c and $1 at J. P. Hatzfeld's. Trial bottles free.
Beautiful, Clear Skins
Herbine exerts a direct influence on the bowels, liver and kidneys, purifying and strengthening these organs and maintaining them in a normal condition of health, thus removing a comgood for track raising, or for farming on a small scale.

Angry Indians

Angry Indians
News comes from Indio of serious trouble with the Indians on the reservation near that place, and fear is felt at a clash between them and the whites. For some time it is underwood white men have been encroaching upon the lands claimed by the Indians, and there has been trouble from one to time on that account. The Indians have learned how their tribesmen have been forced to give up their buildings on the Warner's ranch reservation and move away, and they fear similar action in their own case if the whites are permitted further to en-ach upon their territory.
No blood has been shed up to the present time, but the Indians are said have warned the settlers against retraining upon the reservation, and aash may occur at any time. They are holding pow-wows and the more untless members of the tribe are using force in driving the settlers from the land. The Indians have sent for an attorney. He will, it is thought, be able to quiet them.

It seemed to build up the weak parts, strengthen the system and correct irregularities."

You can cure yourself at home with this great women's remedy, Wine of Cardui. Wine of Cardui has cured thousands of cases which doctors have failed to benefit. Why not begin to get well today? All druggists have $1.00 bottles. For any stomach, liver or bowel disorder Thedford's Black-Draught should be used.

WINE OF CARDUI
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.
