California Mesa.

No one can form an idea of the extent
OF Montrose county's resources until he
has visited California mesa-a section
which is destined at no distant day to
play avery important part in the destiny
Of our county. There the soil is rich and
deep; there flourish the peach, apple.
pear and all kinds Of fruit in manner
that would surprise even n Mesa county
fruit raiser; the grain crop is enormous,
hay and vegetables in profusion. and with
unity of action the ranchmen in that
vicinity will soon be able to make their
community one OF the most prosperous
in the West.
10 prove our assertions we need only
topoint to the immense amount of fruit
which has been shipped from that local
ity during the past three or four years.
The orchards OF A. Cushman, d. S. Roat.
cap and Sons, Geo. Shindledecker and a
number Of others have yielded astound-
ing crops during the past season. and
wagon loads Of the choicest fruit have
been daily hauled to Delta on account of
the fact that that railroad station is
about ten miles nearer than Montrose.
We predict that within few years
time the d. & r. G. will run n spur upop
the mesa and haul the fruit from there.
as the people will be able by that time to
load car as readily as they now load
wagon.
Tho trouble thus far with the mesa has
been dearth OF water, but it seems to us
that this could be easily overcome.
There are any number OF natural reser
voir sites at the head Of the mesa, which
could be made to hold sufficient water to
irrigate thousands Of acres at a compar.
atively small expense. These reservoirs
could readily be filed from Dry creek in
the spring and fall, and il the ranchmep
would unite and work together in hars
mony and unison, they could soon have
water in abundance, settle the mesa with
desirable and thrifty class Of people
and increase the value of their ranches
amazingly.
Among the oldest, largest and best i'm.
proved ranches on the mesa is that OF A,
Cushman. He has 400 acres, over 100 of
which is under cultivation. There are
90 acres set to fruit chiefly peaches
and they are large in size. rich in flavor
and the trees are LOADED to the guards
He also has GOO 1 year old apple trees,
several hundred pears, plums and cher.

What Paine's Celery Compound Does
in Few short weeks-It Makes n
Sickly Women.
boston Herald. I

In thousands of homes some one,
father, mother or brother, is actually dy-
ing from starvation of the nerves and
blood. This lack of nutrition of some
vital part is not usually called by the
harsh word Starvation" but it amounts
to the same thing. 1t is called dyspepsia,
neuralgia, Bright's disease, rheumatism
or nervous prostration, headaches or
sleeplessness.
This general feeling of discomfort
throughout the body shows literal
starvation of some of the important or
gans Of the body, either heart, kidneys,
stomach, liver or nerve centers.
Scores Of men and women showing
their first gray hair, who in business and
society wear a smiling countenance, are
tormented in private by despondency
they can scarcely explain, which renders
their lite almost uncomfortable. Such
mental depression, falling short of insan-
lty, occurs most often at the turning
point OF life, or soon after it, and is a
lanentably common complaint.
After middle life the body often be-
comes bloodless, the nerve tissues i'm
poverished. Then Paine's celery com
pound supplies building material for
used-up blood and nerves. 1t makes
people strong, ruddy and we'll. 1t regu-
lates the nerves, leeds their wasted, ex-
hausted parts, purities the blood of all
dangerous humors and brings back
strength and health. Where there is a
gradual loss OF strength, a growing thin
ness, irrltability and nervousness, Paine's
celery compound keeps up the Strengtn
and resists the final breakdown to state
OF invalidism and OF constant suffering
that is likely to como where nothing is
done to check the wasting process.
1t is upon woman that the great bur-
den of firing, exhausting and petty du-
ties fall.
Hundreds of homes might be saved
from sickness and unhappiness if the
wife or the husband, or some member of
the household could only see how near
aid and comfort is to the dear ones who
are slowly dropping and relaxing their
interest IN the things about them, prepar-
atory to leaving them forever. Paine's
celery compound is within the reach of
every home in the land where there is
illness. 1t has met the unqualified ap-
proval OF reputable physicians of every
school.

by Paralysis.
DR.. Thomas B. Eagle. Resident Physi-
clan at the Folsom State Prison, was
stricken with paralysis on Sunday morn
ing and now lies at the point of death. Dr..
Huntington was telegraphed for, but he
was unable to leave the city, and DR..
Hanna went in his stead TO attend the
case.
Warden Aull states that there is no
hope Of DR.. Eagle recovering, as this is
the third stroke he has suffered. The
doctor may linger several days, but is apt
to pass away at any moment.
Dr. Eagle has enjoyed the reputation of
being one Of the most slillful surgeons on
the coast.
On June q, 1893, at the attempted break
from FOLSOM Prison, the notorious George
Sontag was shot in three places in the left
leg, one OF the bullets shattering the knee
! cap. Although DR.. Eagle found it neces-
sary to remove portions OF the cap, he did
II so skllltulIy that the man retained the
full use OF his limb.
For several years he was surgeon in
the United States army, serving not only
! through the civil war but IN various mil
ltary posts on the frontier.
