Why and Up,

Two northumberland little English
words are Why and Up.
Some persons preface almost every
sentence with a why.
"Why, saw Jim yesterday"
"Why, yes, he said so"
why, we pay IA cents for eggs
tWhy, Sarah has gone to Moline"
"Why, was out of town yesterday"
"Why, Pm all right.p
''Why, the folks are we'll"
And SO on without end. Each of
these sentences tell the whole story
just as well without the Why, which is
entirely superfuous.
Many persons appear to use the little
word to fill in with while they gather
their thoughts. 1t is just as well to
keep still till one has something ready
to say. There isn't half enough silence
in the world. Look at the example set
us by the stars!
Then there is up:
"He ate it np.n
1.-THE house was burned up"
1.-THE wood is all used up.n
The whole story is just as well told
without the up. He ate it. The house
was burned. The wood is all used.
What is the use of this everlasting
Whying and Upityupping?
Lo and behold, there is much to learn
in this world.
Then again, there is much to be un-
learned. - Exchange.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is infiamed you have rumbling
sound of imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever, nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

Newlands' Plan for Irrigation.

An entirely new scheme for the pro-
motion of the national irrigation of
lands has been gotten up by Congress-
man Newlands and incorporated into
a bill which was introduced in the
House by him last week. 1t supple
ments his former bill for reservoirs on
the Humboldt river, and provides that
money received by the National Gov
eminent from the sale of public do
main in the arid land States be turned
over to the irrigation fund and expend-
ed by the Government in irrigation
work on the lands from which the
money is derived.
This bill, it is stated, has an excellent
chance of passage at this session of
Congress. Mr. Newlands himself de-
scribes the bill as follows in state
ment given correspondent of the
San Francisco Bulletin:
ut provides that all moneys received
from the sale and disposal of public
lands in the arid and semi-arid region,
excepting those set aside for agricul-
tural and mining colleges, shall form
special funds for reclamation works.
The Secretary of the Interior is author
lied to make plans for storage works
and to withdraw from entry lands
which it is proposed to irrigate from
them, and he Is also authorized to en-
ter into contracts for the construction
of such storage works out of the arid
land reclamation funds. Upon the
completion of each irrigation project
the total cost thereof is to be ascer-
tanned and divided pro rata per acre
on the lands to be irrigated, and such
amount shall be charged against such
lands as cost water rights. The lands
are to be subject to homestead entry,
each entry to be limited to eighty
acres, and the water right is to be paid
for in annual payments extending over
ten years. All moneys received from
the sale of water rights will go into the
reclamation fund. In all construction
work eight hours shall constitute q
days work and none but citizen labor
shall be employed.
"The purpose of this bill is to meet
objections urged against the general
scheme of reclamation, which is that
it taxes the East for the purpose of
Western Improvement. Under this
scheme sales of lands in the West con-
stitute the fund for reclamation. Last
year the sales of public lands in the
arid and semi-arid region aggregated
four million dollars. This bill has the
approval of the National Irrigation
Association and it is confidently ex-
pected that it will prove an automatic
method of reclamation for public
lands.v

BY provision of law, no graduate of

University influence. The University
asks about S26, 900 more this year from
the Legislature, as extra matter. IN
my opinion the University and the
public high school graduates should
stand on their own bottom There
should be no discrimination between
them. If a graduate of public school
shows her fitness to teach, the fact
that she has no normal or university
school certificate should not count
against her, and if graduate of nor
NAL or university school shows her UNI
fitness 20 teach, her certificate should
not count for her. In short, l be-

Carson Letter.

EDITOR COURIER: The principal
argument before the Legislature on the
resolution against the lottery was that
If Nevada should permit lotteries to do
business, that she could expect no APP
preparations from the general govern
ment. There is not another State
Legislature in the Union that would
not give lottery scheme greater sup
port, proportionately, than Nevada
gave the present scheme. In other
words, we have been s'better than any
body" The legitimate argument now
is: If we could not expect any appro-
priation from the general government
If the lottery amendment passed, we
ought to get a mighty big one as re-
ward for the manner in which the
scheme was beaten. take it for
granted, now, that we have been SO
good, all we have to do is to cross our
hands, roll our eyes, and wait for the
appropriation. But don't try to hold
your breath until you get it, or hold
your hand where it won't do any good,
or anything of that sort.
