IRRIGATION PROJECT.
Arizona Farmers are Inclined to Act
Independently of the Big
ComDanies

Yuma. Ariz March 16.-The pumping
plant canal of the State of Arizona I'M
provement company is now nearly COM
pleted for its length of IA miles, and the
100 cOnvicts who have been employed in
it's construction will soon be transferred
to the head of the great gravity canal
that is to take water from the Colorado
river 20 miles north of Yuma.
A late complication has come from the
refusal of a number of farmers to ac-
cept the terms offered for service through
the pumping canal. The farmers have
incorporated under the name of the Yuma
Valley Union Land and Water company
and have sent for centrifugal pumps and
engines wherewith to install a service of
their own. The Improvement company
has within the past few days modified
it's terms and offered to purchase the ma
chinery ordered. but all propositions have
been refused by the water users inter-
eSted.

AIR SHIP TO CROSS THE SEA
An italian Inventor Says He Will Ur-
dertake It.

An italian Inventor Says He Will Ur-
dertake It
New York, March IA new air ship
will shortly make a trial trip between
Grand Street park, Newtown, L. L, and
Washington.
If the trip proves a success, the in
ventor, Gaetno P. Mansione, proposes
to cross the ocean.
Mansione, who is 4S years old, a ma
tive of Naples and a scientific engineer,
has been at work on his ship for the
past six months He expects to fly 175
miles an hour, as a maximum, and 120
miles as a minimum speed. In the
event of an accident to the flying ap-
paratuS while the ship is over water,
the inventor claims it can be lowered to
the surface of the water and be rapidly
converted into a boat, with a propeller.
In this form speed of from 10 to 20
miles an hour may be attained.
The ship is in the shape of a cigar,
except that the center is greater in pro-
portion to the ends than in a cigar. It
is so feet long and 20 feet in diameter
at its greatest thickness. There are
pair of wings, measuring Ga feet from
tip to tip, which project about p feet
from either side of the ship.
The motive power is a secret of the
inventor. The balloon part of the ship
can carry Il, 900 cubic feet of gas. This
is to be a sustaining power, the motive
power being wholly obtained from the
wings.
The trial trip to Washington will be
made on May 1. The trip to Europe,
the inventor says, will be made In less
than two days.
Signor Mansione has already formed
a stock company and several Italian
bankers are behind him.

THE STORY OF HIS COMING

It is scarcely two months since DR.. Z.
jacquard Walsh came to Atchison, Kan,
from Chicago and operated upon the eyes
of little Edna Corbett the 1O-year-old
daughter of Mr.. c. c. Corbett of Huron,
Kan The story of this case is given in de-
tail later on. He expected to remain only
few days. but he found it impossible to
get away. His fame and success spread
50 rapidly that he was beseiged by patients
from all sides who wished to consult him.
He prolonged his visit for week: then
it was absolutely necessary for him to
turn to his numerous engagements at Chi
cago and in the east, but he finally con-
sented to come again. In the meantime
the stories of his wonderful success were
rapidly spread by grateful patients. It
is considered a brilliant undertaking when
a physician cures a mild case of deafness
after months of treatment, but when DR..
Walsh treated cases of complete deafness
and improved them on the first treatment.
and cures cases of thirty years standing
in a short time and cases which had tried
all other forms of treatment for years,
it caused his name to rise above al others.
And these are the things he has done
right here in Kansas and his patients give
their names and addresses so that all can
know of it and thoroughly satisfy them
selves by referring to these people.
He arrived in Atchison again on Feb
ruary 9. intending to stay four days. If
he was beseiged on his first visit, he was
simply overwhelmed on his second visit,
by the number of patients who wished to
procure his skill. He brought his two
expert assistants with him and it is for
tunate that he did, for he never could have
attended to so many patients alone.
They came from every part of Kansas
as far as the Colorado boundary, from

southern Nebraska and western Missouri.
1t shows how quickly the people Of this
section are willing to show tribute to true
skill and knowledge. He found again that
it was necessary to stay some days longer.
Realizing that there are so many people
in Kansas who are in need of his services
and in consequence of the many invita-
tions he has had, he decided to come to
Topeka, this point is more centrally
located, and will be here for one week
only.
He wants to see all those suffering from
diseases of the eye ear. nerves and brain.
Come, no matter how long standing and
hopeless your case may seem to be- Re
member. DR.. Walsh has cured many
whom others have pronounced as incura-
BILE.
On examination he can tell at once
whether your case is curable or incurable,
and he will tell you your exact condition.
DR.. Walsh hardly needs an introduction
to many of our readers. It is some years
ago now that we first remember his sensa-
tional rise to prominence. He startled the
medical world by his new and scientific
discoveries; even before this he had made
an enviable reputation. but since then bis
name has been stamped with undying
fame From the first time he started to
practice the speciality of eye. ear and ner-
vous diseases. His ambition was to be able
to cure all diseases quickly and be able
to benefit his patients from the beginning
Secondly. he studied so that he might be
able to ooerate without the use of ch1or-
oform and without causing pain; but it
was only after incessant study and large
clinical and hospital experience that he
was able to do this. His life has been de-
voted to his profession

The convention of dairymen held at
Ellensburg this week viii not only be
productive Of great good TO the industry
which prompted the gathering. but to
the other agricultural interests OF the
state as Well. The time has gone by
when any one was supposed 10 be suf-
ficiently intelligent 10 manage a farm
successfully, and 1t is now admitted az
a demonstrated fact that the farmer. IL
he would be successful, must possess an
much special knowledge as the mer-
chant or the artisan. This is par.icu-
Larry true OF the dairying business, and
no one thinks Of employing other than
trained specialist TO manage a modern
creamery. The result is shown in the
market value of the product OF scien-
tificaliy conducted dairy. 1t is always
In demand and commands the highest
market price. A convention of the kind
just adjourned at Ellensburg brings to-
gether those most interested In the bust
ness. and affords opportunity for inter-
change OF ideas and union OF interests
that must work for the common good OF
datrymen of the state. BY uniting their
efforts they can secure such protective
legislation as win be most useful TO
them as well as to their patrons.
