Mr Bryan's journey across the country,

cess. Interest in a young man of such
exceptional good fortune and travelling on

since 1869 by ascertaining where the
good towns along the line of new rail
road are to be located, but the rapid
march of civilization has caused IAN
awful slump" in the town site bust
ness, and he mourns the departure Of
the old bonanza days.
Reilly, who is now resting among the
orange and lemon groves of Glendora,
Cal, is well known by thousands Of set
tiers in Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and
the Dakotas He began town sitting
when the Central and Union Pacific
railroads were opened, and his odd ex-
periences would make an entertaining
volume.
For the past ten years, - he says
with his characteristic modesty, 81
have not failed to call the turn on any
railroad town in the west. 1t has got to
be a second nature to me TO lay down
the map of projected railroad and put
my finger on the location of town site.
When / go into a new country, just
look the ground over for several days
and soon come to the conclusion where
the town ought to be. The nearness of
running water, the depth to which wells
must be sunk to get drinking water and
the looks of the soil and the lay of the
rolling hills, if there are any, all have
much to do in fixing town site along
a railroad on the plains.
In 1880 Reilly located Claremont,
Kan, but the railroad engineers, despite
his protest, ruined his scheme by max
ing station four miles beyond The
railroad had not been running two
weeks before Claremont began to move
Everything was ON Wheels" says
Reilly. 1.-The hotel wGs first, and then
the saloon and blacksmith shop skipped.
Pretty soon the schoolhouse went and
then the private houses. The last time

manned that could be moved. -

THE PROPER TIME

When the most benefit is to be derived
from a good medicine, is early in the
year. This is the season when the
tired body, weakened organs and nerv-
Gus system yearn for building-up
medicine like Hoods Sarsaparllla.
Many wait for the open spring weather
and, in fact, delay giving attention 10
their physical condition so long that a
long siege of sickness is inevitable.
To rid the system of the impurities ac-
cumulated during the winter season.
to purify the blood and to inv1gorate
the whole system, there is nothing
equal to Hoods Sarsaparilla. Don't
put it off, but take Hoods Sarsapar1lla
now. 1t will do you good. Read the
testimonials published in behaf OF
Hoods Sarsaparilla, all form RELIABLE
grateful people. They tell the story.
