Kidneys theHlSelNeS DfSak down and waste away cell by cell.
 Bladder troubles moS always result from a derangeuaent of the kidneys and a cure is obtained quickest by proper treatment of the kidneys. If you are feeling badly you can make no mistake by taking pr. Kilmer's Swanp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
 It corrects inability to hold urine and scald- ing pain in passing it, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its won- derful cures of the most distressing cases.
 Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sized bottles. You may Ef

RECEPTION TO TEACHERS.
c. F. Jones referred to the coming
convention OF teachers in this city next
June, and suggested the fire depart

matter. The fire department he said
was identified with the public enter
prises of Ell Paso. while the teachers
represented one of the noblest institu-
lions of the land: IL was, therefore, but
right and becoming that the fire de-
partment should take a leading part in
rendering the ladies reception, or
show their welcome by giving q must

tertainment of similar nature.

with hearty approval, and OF mott on,

part in the general program the fire
department should take in welcoming
the teachers to Ell Paso.

IRRIG ALTON PARAGRAPHS.

The stampede to entert the Oklahoma
public lands, upon their opening to
settlement, Is matter of recent his
tory. The government has between
0,00O, 900 and a 100, 900, 900 acres of
arid public lands which can be reclaim
productive than the lands of Oklahoma a;
and the government could sell it's land
to settlers just as fast as it reclaimed
it.
Such important works as storage re-
servoirs should be built as internal i'm
provements and permanently main
tanned by the State or Federal govern
ment. This would give absolute as
surance of safety to communities farm
ing the lands below them. Without
| such "a guarantee of stability, the inhe-
rent fear of the settler in reservoir
systems cannot be overcome, for the
irrigator is always at the mercy of the
reservoir.
1t is well said, why should the arid
west not have its share of the great
sums of money which are being ex-
pended by the national government
for internal improvements. What
good reason can be advanced why the
western states and territories should
continue TO contribute to building such
improvements for the east and the
south unless the west is given fair
proportion of expenditures for such
purposes? Eastern states whether
seabOard or interior, get their proper
ton Of river and har Dor appropriations,
but the arid states of the west get
nothing, even while they contribute
their share to these expenses.
Crops evaporate 300 times their own
weight of growth annually. To allow
the growth of weeds in an irrigated
field means an immense loss of the
precious fluid so necessary to plan.
life. While the man causing the
waste gets all the water he needs, still
he deprives the irrigation works of a
portion of its capacity thereby cutting
off some one or causing an increase in
expense and perhaps q resulting loss to
himself IN the end.

PREHISTORIC

Today's DesoIation Was Once
a Garden
ANCIENT IRRIGATION
Some OF the Marvellous Engineering
Accomplishments Of Older Days

Special Correspondence of the HERALD.
WASHINGTON, March l1.-One OF
the most marvellous engineering ac-
com plishments of ancient or modern
times is shown in discoveries which
" ere made last year in the lava beds
of New Mexico. Thousands of years
ago, the biologists tell US, a system OF
irrigation reservoirs and bitches was
operated in the southwest which is not
paralleled by anything OF this nature
In the United States today. The
builders of these works, people older
th an the Pueblo race, cultivated thou
sands of acres of now arid territory.
Reservoirs were constructed at the
bases of mountains to catch the flood
waters before they were absorbed In
to the loose and bottomless sand, and
the bitches, where they ran through
sand, were cemented to prevent the
waters escape.
Lava has flowed into some of these
bitches, once filled by sparkling water
in centuries gone by. What can have
been the history of this prehistoric
race or what can have caused their ap
pearance, can only be copjectured.
Unlike the aucients of other lands
these people have not left q complete
record of their glory and their down.
fall and whether it was the result of
climatic conditions or great upheavals
or whether they were supplanted by
more warlike and stronger races, is
mystery. That they were highly de-
veloped, however. in agriculture,
which is the mother of civilization, is
shown by the evidences which they
have left. Their canals wind in and
around for miles, showing superior
engineering knowledge in securing an
exact and uniform fall: rem arkable via
ducts were used in crossing canyons,
while net work of distributing ditch
es brought every available acre into
use for tillage. Vast fields of waving
grain and laden orchards must have
stretched away, down the fertile val
leys under the magic touch of water
for arid America where it has been
reclaimed through irrigation of today
yields eXtravagantly-au with such
development of a peaceful art must
have been likewise an advanced state
of civilization. Here was no irrigs-
ton by individual owners or diverters
of water; but a great system covering
large area, carefully thought out and
operated by q central head for the
greatest good of the many and the
utilization of the greatest possible
acreage.
And it seems strange in the present
era of great progress. and vast under
takings that this section of country,
once the most hig hly cultivated of the
continent, should now be an arid and
cherries waste with a torrid sky and
psrched earth, even while the same
rainfall OF ages past still continues
year by year, and the water supply is
still there, only awaiting its utilization
by man.

 Addressed Voters of Oak
 Grove in Afternoon

Adger, March 1.-(Special.)-The largest political gathering for years assembled here last night to hear Hon. John w. Tom linson, candidate for governor. Many came on the afternoon train from Belle Sumter and Johns to attend the meeting. James Hillhouse, ST., presided over the meeting and, in a graceful speech. introduced the speaker, who received an enthusiastic re- ception. MT. Tomlinson spoke for some thing over an hour and completely captured his audience.
 Why" asked the speaker, "did General Shelley, after withdrawing from the race the office, when he had no opposition in Jefferson county, re-enter the race when he had opposition in the county? Why did he, after advising me to run, get out against me? What transpired behind the scenes to cause him to change his mind and scramble, as he is having to do, for the office? These" continued the speaker, "are questions that the people of Jefferson county and the state are asking"
 MT. Tomlinson discussed the currency question and the question of trusts and that of large standing army. At the con- elusion of his speech nearly every one present pledged him support and many congratulated him on his speech, especially on the absence of any demagogic appeals which are so frequent in speeches made to the miners.
