Yes, August Flower still has the

ilized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors We're scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostitution or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of I'M
digested food regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and oragnie
action of the system, and that is all
they took when feeling dull and bad

when he unpacked the animal at the

Austin, Texas, the pretties city in
the Lone Star state, has met with an
awful calamity in the bursting of the
great dam on the Colorado river, from
which the electric and other power was
obtained. The great floods of the past
week were too much for the massive
walls of masonry to withstand and
they went down with a crash, the great
food of water engnlfing the power
house and drowning the engineers and
Others employed in the generating
rooms. The flood still continues and
the loss In property reaches away up
In the millions. Austin is without
light and power and it will be fully a
year before the damage can be repaired.
The dam cost originally nearly 2,OOO,-
zoos and the power house 35O,OO0S.

The rush to Cape Nome next month

any part of the frozen north and Of
fer better advantages for mining. The
people who rush off to new fields, with

A dam In the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado river would be one of the
greatest benefits that engineering sci
ence can bestow on the people of
northern Arizona. In this great gorge
can be generated enough power to
operate every piece of machinery in
the territory. With this power enough
water could be pumped from the river
to irrigate the fertile valleys of the
northwestern counties and even sup.
ply the farmers of the Salt River valley
with the necessary amount Of irriga.
ton water. The value Of an overflow
dam in the Canyon cannot be esti-
mated. 1t would add 10 one year mil
lions TO the wealth of Arizona and
make possible the working of every
low grade mine in this section. Edison
might try his hand in the work. It
would be fitting climax to his brill
liant career in the world OF great things.

Mohave county has many great
tracts of placer ground that could be
profitably worked If the power could
be generated on the Colorado river by
means of current wheels or other meth
cd. The gravel lies along the river
banks for hundreds of miles and is
nearly as rich as the beach diggings at
Cape Nome. In many of the diggings
as high as 40s day has been made by
means of dry washers. Had the miner
been able to sluice the ground he
would have worked ground that had to
be discarded. With cheap power all
this ground will some day be worked.
