AN UNWATERED UMPIRE.
Work Of the National Irrigation Asso'
citation.


The vista that the possibilities of in
rigation reveal, says the Los Angeles
Herald, is almost stupendous, as few
facts and figures prepared by the Ma.
tional Irrigation Association demon'
strate. The federal government today
owns 100, 200, 900 acres of land. which
is worthless only because it is arid.
This ''unwatered EMPIRE can be re.
claimed by irrigation and rendered
capable of sustaining a population OF
at least 5O,000,O0O people. In the
words of the secretary OF agriculture in
his last annual report: "More than
one.third OF the country depends upon
the success of irrigation to maintain
the people, the industries, and the
political institutions of that area, and
future growth will also I've measured by
the increase of the reclaimed area. In
a region which, in the extent of diver
sity of its mineral wealth, has no
equal on the globe, the riches OF the
mines in the hills are already surpass-
Ell by the productions of the irrigated
farms in the valleys, and the nation at
large is at last awakening to the fact
that the development of the use of the
rivers and arid lands of the West will
constitute one of the most important
epochs in our increase in population
and material wealth."
Work for the Federal Governments.
These stupendous possibilities also
present a colossal problem How may
this gigantic desert be transformed
into a land Of pro ,perity? Who is to
redeem the national domain by a COM
prehensive system of reservoirs! 1t has
been demonstrated by 20 years Of expe.
rience in irrigation development and
by the reports Of government experts
and engineers that the great problem
can only be solved by the federal gov.
eminent. Captain Hiram M. Chitten
den. engineer corps, U. S. A., in his
report on "Surveys for Reservoir Sites. "
declares emphatically that reservoir
construction in the lid regions of the
West can properly be carried out only
through public agencies. "Private
enterprise can never accomplish the
work successfully. As between state
and nation, it falls more properly
under the latter"
Ten Years Would Reclaim the West.
1t is estimated that SLAB, OO0,O 900
would reclaim the arid lands of the
West; that an expenditure by the fed.
eral government of 81 100000 year
for 10 years would open up lands for
the settlement Of population as big as
that of the entire country at present.
An appropriation Of 500. 900 was made
at the last session Of congress for pre-
'iminary surveys to discover the best
locations for the immense reservoirs.
The assistance of every organization
and Of every individual in forwarding
this all.important work should be wei.
coined and assisted in every possible
way. GUY +. MITCHELL.

GOOD FORTUNE
HOW AN ENTERPRlSING FARMER
STRUCK 1T RICH.
Shattered by Disease, Robert White.
While Endeavoring to Cure Hi nself,
nAade u Fortunate Discovery.
From the Democrat. Shelbyville, Ind.

From the Democrat, Shelbyville, Ind.
Near Waldron, Ind, resides Mr..
Robert White. one OF the best known
farmers of the community. He is we'll
situated, and just now has had All un.
usual share of good fortune.
In his earlier days Mr.. White was
strong and athletic, but now while on
the declining side of forty, hard work
'daiid disease have made him different
man, although today he is in good
health.
For Il number Of years he has been
troubled with rheumatism, catarrh OF
the head and stomach. Often in bad
weather his ailments would be aggra.
waited and he would be in u serious con.
dition.
When the grippe visited this section
seven years ago, Mr. White was one OF
those attacked by this fearful disease
A. d was confined to his bed for several
days. After recovering enough to sit
up for few days, concluded he was
we'll enough to get out about his work.
He went out too soon. Most all pa.
tients do that. He had relapse and
was confined to his bed for several
weeks. His old disorders became
greatly affected. The efforts of his
physician, who had been attending
him all the time, proved unavailing.
The doctor was dismissed. Several 9th.
ers were tried but their treatment was
useless.
MIR. White doctored himself and used
many remedies said to be good for his
diseases, but he was not helped.
d He wrnt to Matisville and took the
baths. but they did him only temper.
AIRY good. ut seemed impossible to
get relief" said he, "and did not
know what to do.
''At last l was persuaded to try DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
and they cured me. commenced
taking them last June, and after taking
five boxes, was entirely cured. They
relieved me from all suffering. OF
course suffered from rheumatism
most, and l am now completely cured
of that. had tried two catarrh spe.
cialists, who were said to be good for
the trouble, and they each said my
case was incurable. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People cleansed out
my system. purified my blood, and l
am now strong and we'll. These pills
relieved me of miserable suffering, and
my only regret is. that did not have
the good fortune to take them seven
years ago. have recommended the
medicine to a number and the dealer
in Waldron says he has large demand
for it,"
1t was natures own remedy that &C.
complished this cure caused by impure
blood, for DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People are composed of vegetable
remedies that exert a powerful inliu-
ence in purifying and enriching the
blood. Many diseases long supposed
by the medical profession to be incura-
BILE have succumbed to the potent infiu.
ence of these pills. This universal
remedy is sold by all druggists.

AT SHILOH.

Notwithstanding tn Q heavy
down.pour of rain Wednesday,
some 5000 people assembled on
the Shiloh battlefield to pay trib-
ute to the patriotic soldier dead.
The heaviest siege of rain came
after the dense crowd bad gather.
ed, and had assembled in groups
in the cemetery ground, and
gathered around the grandstand,
where thousands Ofsouls were be-

hours the rain fell thick and fast,
and he or she, that went prepared
with umbrellas escaped IA good
bathing, to some extent, while
there were hundreds women with
infant babies and children who
were forced to endure the worst.
In the afternoon, for a brief peri
cd, the rain ceased, and to the
gentle tones of the string band,
the people re.assembled in the
cemetery to spend few hours,
and to listen again to speeches
from noted persOnages. The
steamers Tennessee, Cummins and
the City of Memphis carried PEG.
pie from all points down the river,
while the Bessie Smith aecommo.

Florence and Pittsburg. Capt.

rain, people were not permitted to
take advantage of the nice graded

stands were open to quench the
thirst OF the multitude, but owing
to the rain the ownersdid not reap
the expected harvest. FOR the
benefit of the small boy, a "hying
