Telenhone Main Advertise right and it will pay your Gazette advertising isright advertising Smythe's Speech During his address before the Twelfth National Irrigation Congress, Chairman Smythe said: I had a lovely speech—how lovely you will never know, for I shall not attempt to impose it upon you at this late hour. I know this audience is in the condition of a worthy young man in California who was waiting on a charming young lady, weighing about two hundred and fifty pounds. This young couple were engaged, and their parents had impressed upon them principles of economy, so they began economy in their days of courtship by occupying a single chair. John called one night, and after Mary had sat in his lap about four hours, she turned to him, saying, "John, are you tired?" And John looked up and smiled and said, "Not now; I was two hours ago, but now I am only paralyzed." So, in view of the paralysis of this audience, I shall not attempt to make a speech. I must, however, tell you a Thanksgiving story I picked up in Colorado the other day. It seems a Colorado boy was visiting a cousin in New England about Thanksgiving time, and the Colorado boy observed the very elaborate preparations being made for Thanksgiving. They had Thanksgiving in Colorado, but not on so grand a scale, and so this Colorado boy inquired of his New England cousin what was the object of it all. "Why," the New England boy said, "we thank God for the blessing of our crops." "But you defend justice and public among his neighbors. "The man is unfortunate cannot afford to take two persons at today's prices. "The man who can add one newspaper, in our should display his public sense of duty to his life taking the local newspaper."

"But you don't thank God for your crops, do you?" asked the Colorado boy, and the New England boy answered, "Yes, of course we do, don't you?" "No," replied the Colorado boy, "we don't depend entirely on God for our crops; we irrigate." SAVED BY DYNAMITE Sometimes a flaming city is saved by dynamiting a space that the fire can't cross. Sometimes a cough hangs on so long, you feel as if nothing but dynamite would cure it. Z. T. Gray of Calhoun Ga., writes: "My wife had a very aggravated cough which kept her awake nights. Two physicians could not help her; she took Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, coughs and colds, which eased her cough, gave her sleep and finally cured her."

The Local Paper Arthur Brisbane, in a recent article in the New York Journal, pays the following high tribute to the local paper of the smaller towns: "Very often it takes greater ability to conduct a local newspaper than it does to conduct a bigger newspaper in a much bigger place. The support that the local newspaper receives is meager at best, and the hard work done is often not appreciated. "The newspaper from the big city sometimes interferes seriously with the enterprise of the local editor, and the competition he has to meet is an uneven competition, because publishing a newspaper where there are millions of people to read it makes it possible to spend enormous sums of money to make it at..." The newspaper from the big city sometimes interferes seriously with the enterprise of the local editor, and the competition he has to meet is an uneven competition, because publishing a newspaper where there are millions of people to read it makes it possible to spend enormous sums of money to make it attractive, and these sums of money the local editor cannot possibly spend, as his public does not justify it. "It would be a great misfortune to the country if the few big papers in the big cities should interfere seriously with the publication of the valuable and intelligent local newspapers, for upon these local newspapers the welfare of the country very largely depends. "The metropolitan daily cannot possibly know the needs of the various localities and small cities. Only the local newspapers can protect local needs and influence local public opinion. "Of course, we are very glad to have as many people as possible read the Evening Journal in the big cities and in the little cities. But we hope that in every small town and every village there will be enough intelligence and public spirit on the part of the local inhabitants to support earnestly and enthusiastically the best local newspaper, giving encouraging approbation and a good living to the local editor, who alone can represent and justice and public spirit his neighbors. man is unfortunate who afford to take two newspatoday's prices. man who can afford only newspaper, in our opinion, display his public spirit and duty to his locality by the local newspaper." Governing Sale of Drugs State Board of Pharmacy decall the attention of the merchandise stores to the law passed by the last year: The board of pharmacy its discretion issue a permit rural dealers in rural districts, with the conditions, in their ent, do not justify the emment of a registered pharmaal where the store of such dealer is not less than five instant from the store of a ed pharmacist; which said shall authorize the person or named therein to sell such ordrugs and ordinary housemedies and in such manform, as the board may nec to time specify, in said but not elsewhere, under regulations and restrictions as may from time to time. The board shall charge an fee of $12, in advance, for mit, and it shall be unlawny dealer to sell any drugs unary household remedies complying with the require- ing out onto the desert and reclaiming public lands, is one which will not hold upon second thought. The Salt River valley has been a famous section of the arid west. Twenty years ago it was a vast, flat plain, skirted by mountains reflecting the wonderful colors and tiuts of the southwest, but nourishing only the cactus and other desert plants. The Salt River cut its center, a sparkling, life-giving stream, and private capital undertook to utilize its waters for irrigation and build up a great community. Dams were built, canals were constructed, and thousands of acres were planted to oranges, lemons, figs, dates, raisin and wine grapes, almonds, pomegranates, and all the fruits and flowers of the semi-tropics, not to mention broad fields of emerald alfalfa where fat cattle stood knee deep in the luxuriant growth. But the valley is today crippled and sick. The canal system laid out was based upon the heavy annual rainfalls which prevailed at that time, and sufficient data had not been gathered to show that the period was one of fat years and that the lean years of drought would surely follow. They came, however, over the whole southwest, as can be seen by a study of the rainfall charts of that region, and the result has been that thousands of acres of orchard and farm have returned to aridity. The Old Man of the Desert came in and claimed back his own. It is simply a question then, in the Salt River valley, and in some other sections, as to whether it is not as good or better policy for Uncle Sam CREEPING DEATH Poison creeps up towards the housing death.

NEXT DAM in America Most gigantic of the government constructions in pro-The Salt River or "Roosevelt in Arizona, and consider-cism has been made of the Secretary of the Interior setting aside between three million dollars for this which will irrigate no public but only those already in ownership, vastly increasing, their value. The work the government will do under direct will double and quadruple values, and in fact, make and that is now practically worth from $30 to $100 an acre 200,000 acres will be under these works, and the reservoir to be formed by Roosevelt dam will be by far the United States, with suitable capacity of nearly 400 gallons. This is three times city of the great Wachusett which is to supply Boston, that of the famous Croton New York's water works. Criticism referred to of building works to supply such a section as the Salt Valley, where the lands are all over the whole southwest, as can be seen by a study of the rainfall charts of that region, and the result has been that thousands of acres of orchard and farm have returned to aridity. The Old Man of the Desert came in and claimed back his own. It is simply a question then, in the Salt River valley, and in some other sections, as to whether it is not as good or better policy for Uncle Sam to save the homes of several thousand pioneers, who are perishing for want of water, as it is to reclaim new raw lands, and put new settlers upon them. The flow of the Salt River valley is variable in the extreme. At low water periods it runs something like 100 cubic feet per second. In one great flood the river swept down the valley at the rate of 300,000 cubic feet per second. The 12th annual report of the Geological Survey describes the flood of 1891 as follows, all of which ran uselessly to the sea for lack of storage: "On February 17, the discharge was 835 cubic feet per second, increasing the next day to 154,000 cubic feet and on the 19th to 276,000 cubic feet. This was followed by a second greater swell, until on the 24th a maximum of 300,000 cubic feet was reached." The Roosevelt dam is to control and store such floods. About 60 miles from Phoenix, the Salt River enters a profound canyon, with lofty, precipitous walls and a narrow floor, in which is located the dam site. Above the dam the canyon opens into wide valleys, providing the most capacious reservoir in the west. "It would probably be impossible to find anywhere in the arid region," said Government Engineer Arthur P. Davis, the projector of this magnificent enterprise, "a storage project in which all conditions are as favorable as in this one. The capacity of the reservoir in proportion to the dimensions of the dam is enormous, and the lands to be watered are of remarkable fertility."
