cured a small appropriation for the eX-
animation by the engineering corps Of
the war department of possible storage
reservoir sites in Wyoming and Colo
RADIO. Colonel II. NJ. Chittenden con-
Quoted the surveys, and his report was
a revelation to congress. The feasibili-
ty Of building storage reservoirs by the
general government. the comparatively
small cost of construction and the
great benefits to be derived were all
clearly demonstrated in the compre-
hensive report made of his work in
Colorado and Wyoming.
This report paved the way for secur-
ing the appropriations provided for by
the above amendments. The Piney
creek reservoir sites in northern Wyo-
ming are admirably adapted for the
first government experiment in water
storage. They are natural basins which
only heed the openings closed by sub
stantial dams to transform them into
immense reservoirs; the water supply
in flood season is ample to fill these
reservoirs and conserve the water for
the irrigation season. Below them is
an immense area of the finest agricul-
tural land in the state and the construc-
ton of the reservoir system as prOvid-
ed by the amendments, will add up
wards of 10000 acres to the area of Gull
'tivated lands of the state.
There are hundreds of such sites in
the various western states and the ap-
preparation of $500 to be expended
in surveys will result in their being To-
Gated and made available for subse-
quent utilization by the government,
and the evenbuai solution of the prob
lem of securing a comprehensive irriga-
ton system in the west which will util-
ize all of it's waters and land.

HEAD END COLLISION.
Wreck Forty Miles North Of Cheyenne
on the Cheyenne and Northern.

Some time after 2 O'Clock a. m. Fri
day there was a head-end collision for
ty-two and a half miles north of Chey-
enne, on the line of the Cheyenne and
Northern, between light engine 92S
north bound, and No. &c, the regular
south-bound passenger train.
The regular train, which left Chey-
anne Thursday morning and turned at
Wheatland, was in charge of Conductor
F. "A. Hoyt, and Engineers Donahue
and Chaplin, with engines 2S and s..
The light engine, 92S, left for the
north at 1910 Friday morning and was
in charge of Conductor Arnold and En-
gineer Kuster.
The collision occurred near Iron
Mountain, and was the most disastrous
which has occurred on the Cheyenne
and Northern Dad for some time. En-
gineers Donahue and Chaplin and their
firemen had narrow escapes from
death. The engines crashed together
on a sharp curve between Altus and
Iron Mountain. No. &c, the regular
train, had orders to run three hour
late from Wheatland to Cheyenne, but
was considerably later than this when
the collision occurred. Engine 92S
received this time order Gu No. sc, but
through an oversight the crew of the
92S figured on the old time card, which
scheduled the regular train almost an
hour later at each station. When the
92S reached the top of the hill this side
of Altur, Engineer Kuster saw the
headlight of the regular train several
miles ahead. He asked Conductor Ar
mold about the matter, but the latter
said he guessed the regular was head
ing in on the side track at Iron Noun
tain. Kuster did not stop his engine
and in another minute she had entered
several deep cuts and the headlight of
the regular was lost TO view. When
next the crew of the 92S saw the head
light it was coming round a sharp
curve Oily d lew S"Auo
92S was running down grade at the
rate of ~thirty-two miles an hour u
ter at once threw her owe and applief
he air, but in an instant almost, the
iron monsters came together.
The coal from the tank of the 92S
mrched forward when the crash came
and pinned Fireman Smith to the boil
er-head, bruising his body and hurting
him internally. The other occupants
of the engine escaped injury. 1t was
fully five minutes before Smith could
be extricated from his position, owing
to the large amount of coal piled around
him. Fortunately the water glass did
not burst, or Smith would have been
scalded to death. As it is, his injuries
are not regarded as serious.-Cheyenne
Tribune.

The secretary of war is hereby direct
ed to cause preliminary surveys or ex-
aminations to be made of one or more
reservoir sites in each arid or semi-arid

necessary for the storage and utiliza-
ton of water to prevent floods, over
flows, and erosion of river banks and
~levees, and for the reinforcement of the
flow of streams and raising the water
line therein during drought and low
water, and to utilize the water SO
stored where practical for irrigation,
mining or domestic purposes while it is
in transit to replenish the streams dur
ing the season OF low water and the
sum Of $500 is hereby appropriated

Miss Amelia Stegman, as secretary
of the famous North Side Women's
Club OF Chicago, has been an eyewit-
ness to the good results that follow the
use Of this famous remedy.
For the past six years. she says,
Il have had ample opportunity to OBJ
serve the good results obtained from
the use Of Paine's celery compound, as
u medical advisers frequently pre-
scribe it. Our members all reside at
the club house. and as they are bust
ness women they frequently feel the
need OF a remedy for building up a
rundown condition. We have it con
stantly on hand.
Thinking you may be glad to know
that Paine's celery compound is appre-
ciated by our club women she writes
to the proprietors. 81 take pleasure in
sending you this unsolicited testimo-
NAL"
Many m are in need Of nothing
but Paine's celery compound t. make
them strong and well, and IL after read
ing the many published testimonials
from people in every walk of life whom
it has restored to health, there is the
remotest doubt in anyone's mind of its
unexampled efficacy. there is this to
be said, that after all, the best test Of
Paine's celery compound is to try 1t.
Paine's. celery compound has never
failed to give relief. 1t has made thou

Manila had received the first of his re-
Inducements nearly six days before
they were expected. They came on the
Scandia which brought half of the
Twentieth infantry.
They sailed from San Francisco Jan.
%, in company with the Morgan City,
which has aboard the remaining half
Of the Twentieth infantry and as both
ships were at Honolulu at the same
time, the Morgan City will be expected
in Manila Within twenty-four hours
unless she has been detained, which is
not expected.
The transports Ohio and Senator,
with the Twenty-second infantry
aboard, sailed from San Francisco only
four days later than the Scandal, so
that within a week Otis will have $500
fresh men to relieve those who have

ASKS FOR THE OREGON
Request Thought to be Sig
nificant.

ullCdlll.
Washington, Feb. 24.-The following
dispatches have been received by the
navy department:
Manila, Feb. 24.-For political rea-
o m the Oregon should be sent here at
once. DEWEY"
Charleston and Petrol cruising around
the Philippine islands. Affairs more
quiet. DEWEY"
San Francisco, Feb. 23.-The Oregon
arrived at Hilo Feb. 4. and at Hololulu
Feb. 5. Iris and Scandal arrived on the
18th. GRIFFIN"
Mr.. Griffen is dispatch agent OF the
department.
The cablegram from Admiral Dewey
asking for the Oregon was received with
surprise by the officials here. No one
knew, or at least would admit, that he
knew the nature of the political rea-
sons which the admiral says demand
IN ~ CoSiSC u UlO lVcil w
battleship. The cablegram was taken
to the cabinet board and fully discussed
there.
The admiral, it is said, possibly feels
that the moral effect of the presence of
the big ship upon the insurgents them
selves, and particularly upon that large
element of the Filipinos that is be-
lieved to be restrained with difficulty
from joining fortunes with Aguinaldo,
with whom their sympathies lie, would
be good.
But there is an underlying doubt
whether or not the admiral may not be
keenly sighting a gathering cloud in
the east, and is looking to the preven-
ton of any possible intervention or in
reference by European powers in the
struggle now in progress in the neigh
borhood of Manila.
1t is believed that in the big fires
much property Of foreign residents and
business concerns was destroyed. That
these fires were caused by the insurgents
cannot be denied, and 1T may be that
some of the foreign naval commanders
in the east are disposed to seize upon
the pretext that their interests demand
protection which We cannot afford them
to make a landing or do something OBJ
noxious to the United States and likely
