Prospect, San Andreas, May 49, 1900
The Manuel Lumber Company, oper-
ating near the Big Trees, this week
commenced the purchase of quite an
extensive tract of heavily tim mbered
land on the upper San Antoine. The
land in question comprises 480 acres, OF
which 160 acres was purchased of H,
G. Allen Of San Andreas, and the other
800 acres was the property of Ellen
Templeton. The purchase was made
for the timber and will be sufficient
quantity to insure supply for the
mills of the company for some years.
The timber is all of the finest quality
and is well located for lumber oper-
ations.
Last Tuesday r. D. Edwards started

mired down in the soft ground, and it
took 16 animals to pull it out. The
wagon was pretty badly strained in the
operation.

"I've got little touch of indigestion y
says one man. Another says, "my
stomach feels little out of sorts" It
is just such little things which If neg
lected mean the total loss of health.
The one medicine for disorders and
diseases of the stomach and organs of
digestion and nutrition is DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t increases
the activity of the whole digestive and
nutritive system, clears away obstruc-
tons, stops the loss the body sustains by
undigested or partly digested food, puri-
hes the blood from the poisons resulting
from imperfect digestion, and increases
the secretions of the blood making
glands. Golden Medical Discovery >
has wonderful record of cures of So
called hopeless cases.
Mr.. Thos. H. Rudasill, of Henry, Lincoln Co..

from every available source, and being only
temporarily benefited thereby, applied 70 your
institution for treatment You instructed me TO
take course of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery, which am now doing. Although un-
able to strictly follow directions 1 have derived
more actual benefit from the few bottles have
taken so far than from all the other remedies

Allow me to thank you for your PROMPT and

IRRIGATION APPROPRIATION.

A'r'AOA iIOS Arr fhOfh1AI1ON.
The irrigation appropriation of $3.50,
900 which is asked for the use of the
Geological Survey, would enable that
bureau to vigorously prosecute its
needful work of getting at the facts
concerning the water possibilities of the
arid region, and making surveys to
show definitely where water can be
stored, in what quantities and how
much there will be to store. These are
all subjects of vital interest to arid
America and which Congress owes it to
the West to provide for literally.

Federal irrigation Coming.

Looking over the field at the
close of the century it is seen that
the United States stands practical
ly alone among irrigation countries
in having left all the work of re-
clamation to the unaided efforts of
private capital, and in the prodi-
gality of the surrender of public
control of streams. In one respect
the policy pursued has been sue
cessful. 1t has resulted in an
enormous investment (not less
than $Ioo,ooo,o 900, and some esti-
mates make it twice that sum-, and
the creation of taxable and pro-
ductive wealth of many times the
amount invested. We have now
about reached the limit of this
sort of growth. There will be a
few large private investments in
canals hereafter until we have
better and more liberal irrigation
laws. Entrance on the coming
century is confronted by larger
problems; the storage OF flood
waters, the interstate division of
streams, and the Inauguration of
an adequate system of public con-
troll, which will insure to the
humblest handler of shovel his
share of the SHOWS falling on
mountains above his farm, no mat
ter how far removed he may be.

",solWsUAlism IS PROGRESS AND lift."

about labor difficulty in the Illi-
nois Steel Company's plant at
South Chicago. Here is what the
Tribune had to say about it this
morning:
"The feeling of unrest among
the employees of the Illinois Steel
Company has now somewhat sub
sided. The crowd of men who
gathered in South Chicago saloons
on Thursday night and plotted
mischief was not visible during
the day, and the police expect no
trouble from them. All dynamite
owned by the company has been
carefully guarded and its where
abouts is kept secret from the
excited men. A strong force of
private detectives and policemen
is on guard at the mills, and the
force in blast furnace No. q, where
the trouble on Wednesday night
occurred, is under surveillance.
There appears to be no dis
satisfaction visible among the en-
ployes of the company who are
not connected with the blast fur
mace, and the force of 900 police
men and detectives is considered
we'll able to cope with the 40 men
employed in the blast furnaces.
All of these men are not disaffect-
ed, however.
THE rumor that several hum
dred men were imprisoned within
the gates of the company for two
days proves to be false. The men
were kept inside the gates from
Wednesday evening until E o'clock
on Thursday morning without
being given food, but they were
allowed to leave after they had
worked twelve hours"
Other papers tell of the "hot
reception" that will be meted out
to the "malcontents" in case they
attack the works"
One would think that a bunch
of Chinese Boxers were in South
Chicago waiting for a chance to
burn the steel trusts mill and mas
sacre all peaceful citizens.
Here is the story of the way the
"trouble" started. 1t is the "other
side" There is always another
side" but it seldom gets in print.
Listen to the other side:
Jack Roedder is foreman of blast
No. at the steel trusts South
Chicago plant. Under him was a
big gang of men. Their work is
the hardest and the hottest in all
the great mill. Their wages are
of the same generous proportions
generally allotted to workmen by
trusts.
On Wednesday, the Fourth of
July, independence day, the trust
didn't celebrate. Instead it sent
its white slaves into the furnace
like rooms and drove them on to
toll.
The hot wave was on. The air
was sitting. Other people, en-
Toying a holiday, could barely
keep alive. The white slaves of
the trust toiled on. Finally one
fell to the hot floor, and then a
second dropped like an OK in his
place.
They were carted away to the
trusts hospital, and there they
died. They are John Leach OF
o1a2 Mackinaw avenue and An
drew Cushman, $500 Mackinaw
avenue.
The other men in the gang
pasped in agony, and finally Roed-
der could drive them no longer; he
