Concering Trib.

A Statement From the P~roprietors.
We coined the word, Trib, our trade
marx, which appears Upon the LABEL ct
each bottle Of our lin!ment.
Our product is a combination Of
various substances, some Of which are
common drugs. We do not further
state the source, or methods OF OBJ
tanning and preparing the ingredients.
A portion Of the combination is to
be kept secret at present. We say this
tor the benefit Of inquirers. Trib has
already been used successfully in more
than ten thousand cases in Nevada.
No injury has occurred in any case.
We offer u record. Those who use
Trib (includidg some physicians Of the
best standing) are satisfied.
We do not recommend Trib to be
taken inwardly. Though it contains no
narcotics; We offer it for outward use
only. 1t may be used for sprains.
bruises, stiffness of muscles, and STINT
lar ailments, and for relief in some
cases Of rheumatism:
For chllblains, chatting and blisters;
and for the relief Of hives:
For frost-bite, and for burns and
scalds where the exposed surface is
not so great as to make the use of a
llniment dangerous:
For insect bites and stings, for
thornwounds, and for sores. (
Many cyclers. some athletes and
some pugilists have used Trib success
fully. Those who know best, do not
battle in it. even when using it as a
rub-down-they just rub a little into
the skin-rub till dry-perfectly dry
and leave it so.
Trib is sold by druggists. or we send
two ounces for Csc. six for SOC. or a
pint (l6-oz.) for a dollar.
We shall be pleased to answer all
further questions asked in good faith.

Piute Labor Famine.

There are others. Tom Bastian
has been bowling about the weeds in
in his tater patch. Billy Pierson and
Charley Hoover likewise. Every
married man here has worn the same
socks two weeks. The dance is still on.
The Virginia Report says the absence
Of the local Piute from the streets is
due to a big fandango now taking place
at Wadsworth. All the bucks except
Johnnie Sheep and a couple of other
superannuated old stiffs like him are
attending the great function and nearly
all the sqaws are with them. In con-
sequence many Comstock house
keepers who depend upon Piutes to
help on wash day are suffering great
hardships and many youngsters are
playing an encore engagement with last
weeks socks. But that doesn't bother
the happy Piutes a little bit; they look
upon soap as an abomnatlon o. desc

ROBBED THE BANK.
1t was the Faro Bank at T.4..Laa

$3.50 'AS dAO DdnK at L ficEPP.
II was at ten minutes to one O'Clock
When most everyone was off the streets
and the town was quiet and when there
were but five persons in the Louvre
Saloon when two masked men. one
holding a revolver in each hand and
the other with one, rushed into the
saloon and sternly demanded "hands
up. Those in the saloon were sitting
down talking quietly. The robbers
opened the back door and ran right I'D
to where they were sitting. No one
was behind the bar so one robber stood
at the end of the counter to stop any
one from going behind it and the other
held his two pistols on those present,
who did not fully understand that IT was
a real robbery and Al. Richardson. de-
spite the protests OF the robber with the
two guns pointed at him, rose from his
chair and started toward the man in
quirlng what was the matter. AS he
moved on the man he backed and Mr..
Richardson had him nearly to the back
door again. The robber told him twice
to stop or he would shoot but was un-
needed but his third demand. accom-
panied by a vile name caused Mr..
Richardson to think he meant what he
said and he returned to the bar. He
says, however, 1t was fear of the man
behind him rather than the one in front
Of him that caused him to desist.
Having the situation in hand the
mar with the two pistols put one in his
coat pocket walked to one table and
picked up $i42.5o in coin. put It in a
sack that he had slung from his
shoulder. then moved to the other table
and took between $4,000 and $4,000
making a total Of from $535 to $54o.
He then took the pistol out his pocket
and with both guns leveled on those
present. backed toward the rear door
where they had entered. When he
was within a few feet Of the door he
said to the one who had stood guard
Come on Kid, back out" The order
was obeyed and they backed out Of the
door and disappeared in the darkness.

Railroad Patents.

A single firm Of Patent Lawyers, c
"A. Snow & Co., of Washington, D. c.,
have in the last year procured 1850
patents for their clients, many of them
tor rejected inventions. C. c. Snow
&Co. have been accused of railroad
ing patents through the Patent Office,
but they insist that this locomotion Is
better than ox-carting them, for by the
latter process the inventor often dies
before he gets his patent.

 The cooperation of the western states with the Department of Ag- riculture in making this broad in- vestigation of the duty of water will be of immense value just now when the time is ripe for western awakening which will induce the government to enter into actual ap- propriations for the construction of irrigation works which will place under cultivation vast areas. It is important that all the light possible should be thrown upon the subject.-Guy D. Mitchell.

In March 1893 the democratic party went into power. The nrst six months of that year there were 6,23g business failures with liabili- ties of over $7O,OOO,OOO. For the first six months of 1896, under tho Wilson Bill, there were 7,602 fail ures with liabilities amounting to 105 million dollars.
 Then the tide turned. ,McKin- ley took the oath of office in 1897, and from that on failures grew less and less until for the first six months of 1900 they were the smallest in eighteen years. They were only 4,SSO,2 with liabilities of about 60 million dollars.

Serious losses from evaporated
 do not occur in main canals, but
 from the fields where water is dis
 tributed. During the midsummer
 season the continuous sunshine
 heats the surface of the ground to a very high temperature. A test
 made last summer by the govern ment irrigation man, showed the surface soil in southern California to have e temperature of 120 de- grees F. When a thin layer of wa ter is spread over land thus heated as it is frequently done where flooding is practiced, the loss from evaporation must be excessive. Mir. w. NJ Reed discusses this in his report on New Mexico, show ing instances where it has become so great as to entirely consume the volume supplied. Irrigators know by practice how much faster an ir- rigation head of water travels over fields at night and in the early than during the afternoon. This is due to the difference in the rate of evaporation. In order to lessen this loss it is importance that fields be irrigated as quickly as possible. To do this each irri- gator should be supplied with all the water he can distribute. Where only a small stream is used, prog ress is slow, the soil next the lat erals is saturated; it is hard work to reach the high spots while the low ones are over irrigated by the delay this causes.

SPEAR POINTS

There is no music in hell.
 The truth needs no apology
 Mite sometimes becomes might.
 Every seat may be a mercy seat.
 Bitter truth is sweeter than fiattery.
 There is nothing more eloquent than silent time.
 It takes more piety to bear praise than blame.
 The higher life is found in the valley of humility.
 A double-faced man can see in only one direction.
 Tc live the truth we must have the truth abiding in us.
 The Christian life demands our all, yet it gives more than all in return.
 If you prefer the service of sin, you must be prepared to accept the wages of sin.
 The report of the minority voice in the heart should always be given a hearing.
 They who live near enough to know Gods thoughts are not troubled by His thunders. Genuine heart service is always ac- ceptable to God, whether rendered in the kitchen or cathedral.
 Great souls are subject to widely un- like passions, just as great pendulums swing between widely opposite poles. Horn. ..:.s=-.z.-.----

Contracts which provide for the delivery of a uniform constant flow are, as a rule, wasteful of water. Contracts which charge for the acres irrigated without regard to the volume used on these acres, are temtation to extravaganza on
 the part of the irrigator. On the other hand, contracts providing payment proportioned to the quan- tity delivered and for delivery in a. mounts which can be most eff cientlY distributed cannot fail to lead to economy in the use of wa ter and consequently to high du- ty. Under such a system the ir- rigator is benefited by his saving and pays for his waste, Such con- tracts can only be employed in connection with a system of rota. tion in delivery to irrigators. This rotation benefits the canal compa- ny as we'll as the irrigator, because it lessens the loss from evaporation and seepage. If a canal is large enough to supply 100 farms it will still supply them whether they are all irrigated every day or one-half given twice the usual supply every other day. On large canals the economy of such rotation is very great. It would permit of dividing canals into sections and supplying the lands under them, one section at time. A canal 60 miles long could be divided into three section of 20 miles each and all the loss from seepage and evaporation ou the lower forty miles saved while the irrigators of the upper section were being supplied. In the same way, by keeping the full supply in the canal, water could be rushed thru to users under the lower sec tion with less loss than where the flow is depleted by latcrals alog the route. The greatest saving in TO- tation, however, would be made in the laterals. Where water is per mitted to slowly dribble thru con- tinuously, the waste is enormous. By deyising a system for grouping

 Ft. depth Measured at the.heads of canals 5 63 Measured at heads of laterals 2,4O Measured at margins of fields l.29
 The causes assigned for these immense losses are, improper com struction, the nature of tho soil thru which the canals pass, and the practice of placing checks in canals to throw water on land too high to be irrigated without their use. The report of the work on the Gage Canal in California shows that practically all these losses can be stopped where the value of the water will justify the necessary ex- pense. This saving would enable many existing canals to irrigate doublo the area now reclaimed.

During the year that Mir. Mead has had the work of irrigation in- vestion in charge great number of measurements have been made, of water used for irrigation-at the heads of the large canals; at the heads of the small canals or laterals and also at the margins of the fields where used. These show in many cases a surprising dis crepancy. The differences in the measurements at the three places show the approximate loss of wa ter in transit in canals.

 Matters.

Report of the First Years's Work
 of the Office of Experiment Sta
 tions in the West.
 The excellent work which MT. Elwood Mead of the Department
 of Agriculture and his assistants, are doing turnout the West along irrigation lines, is becoming we'll
 known. As State Engineer of
 Wyoming, MT. Mead achieved for
 his State such an enviable reputa- tion turnout the irrigated region that his broader work of investiga- tion under the general government is meeting with much favor and is being watched with deep interest.
 Ills first annual report on "Irriga- tion investigation" is just issuing and will be found of great value to the West.
 It deals with the methods in use in the arid States in the distribu- tion and use of water in irrigation, and gives large number of meas urements made to determine the duty of water; the losses from seepage and evaporation in canals !; and describes the methods by which the water supply may be more effectively and economically applied to crops. It contains pa pers discussing the results of the years investigations, by Elwood Mead, Expert in Charge, Clarence T. Johnston. assistant, and reports and discussions by special agents Thomas Berry, Colorado; w. NJ. Reed, New Mexico; w. H. Code, Arizona; w. Irving, California; R. c. Gemmell and George l.. Swendsen, Utah; D. w. Ross, Ida ho; Samuel Fortier, Montana; O. V, Stout, Nebraska. It is illustra- ted by views, diagrams and maps showing the location and char acter of the investigation made,
 The investigations, says Mir. Mead, deal with problems which sorely perplex the irrigators and canal builders of the arid West. Their comprehensive study is a new feature of National aid to irri- gation development in this coun- try. Heretofore the leading object of such aid has been to promote the construction of new canals, to show how much land there was above existing ditches which could be reclaimed, and the bene- fits which would come from such | It is believed that this investigation also will tend to | secure these ends, but it's primary purpose is to promote the welfare of the people living under the ditches already built, to render the farms now irrigated more profta- ble, to lessen the controversies over the distribution of water and se- cure it's more systematic and econ- omical use.
 Every transaction which has had to do with the disposal of streams I has been marked by lavish prod igality. bitches diverted more water than was used their owners claimed more than they could di- vert; while decres gave appropria- tors titles to more water than ditches could carry and many times what the highest flood could supply. Little was known of the quantity of water needed to irri- gate an acre of land, and in the absence of such information the ignorance and greed of the specu- lative appropriator had these op- portunity.
