To Irrigate A Desert.

The government proposes to reclaim a
portion of the unproductive lands west
of the one hundredth meridian, by a
system of dams and artificial lakes, from
which large portions of this area can be
irrigated. Not only will lands be re-.
claimed, but the storage of this water
will probably do something to prevent
the tiouds which pour down the affiuen,s
Of the great rivers that thread our est.
ern plains. Congress has been appealed
to, and something NAV be done before
long. The area included is.uf $50 900
square miles, and it is proposed by Mai.
Powell to procure from Congress $3.50 600
with which to begin the preliminary
work of selecting the sites for dams, res.
ervoirs and canals, ascertaining the
amount of water susceptible of storage,
and the loss by evaporation, and estimst-
ing the value & f lands to be reclaimed
and of the crops which they would pro.
duce. Of the whole area Of I 800 600
square miles, it is thought that ut least
one-eighth could be made absolutely
productive and immensely valuable.
The rain fall in this large region varies
from five inches in the driest PLAINS To
thirty inches on the mountains. aud even
to seventy five or one hundred; and it
is thought that the average rain fall of
the region to be reclaimed is from fifteen
to twenty inches year. The canyons
which it is proposed to dam are deep
and narrow clefts in the rock, and can
he easily used as artificial reservoirs.
There is a good deal Of hopefulnsss
about this scheme, but it will take sew.
eral years to bring it into actual realiza-
tion, and cost much money.-American

IN BRIEF, AND TO THE POINT,

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered liver
is misery. Indigestion is foe to good
nature
The human digestive apparatus is one of
the most complicated and wonderful
things in existence. 1t is easily put out
of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
irregular habits, and many other things
which ought not to be, have made the
American people nation of dvspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done
wonderful work in reforming this sad
business and making the American peo-
pie so healthy that they can ENJOY their
meals and be happy.
Remember No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower

Woman's Rights Under the Homestead
Laws.

Unmarried women, widows, maidans
and deserted wives, who are over the age
Of twenty.one years, are entitled to all
the rights, privileges and benefits under
the homestead laws that can be enjoyed
| by men.
The mother ofa living child or child
rem. whether widow, deserted wife or un-
fortunate single person, may acquire
title to land as the head of family,
though under the age of twenty-one.
Widows of deceased entrymen succeed
to the rights of their husbands and may
make final proof and take title in their
own names. 1t is not absolutely neces-
sary that they should reside upon the
land after the death of the husband, as
residence or cultivation for the prescrib-
ed time is all that is demanded of widows
and minor heirs.
The widow of a person who served for
ninety days or more during the war of
the rebellion in the United States Army,
Navy or Marine Corps and died without
making an entry, may make an entry
the same as her husband, if living, might
do, and in making final proof receive

Of the bill introduced by the committee
