Three-Fourths Of Water Saved

The one great point made by Mr..
Stiles in his report on sub-irrigation,
is the saving of at least three-fOurths
of the water by this new system. The
statement is rather under than over
the mark, beyond doubt. Indeed, he
says that fully seven-eights of the wat
er is wasted by evaporation by any
system of surface furrow or basin ir-
rigation, and my own experience on
the ranch near Long Beach during the
past season leads me to believe that
by shallow irrigation all the seven
eights of the water is wasted.
Readers will at once perceive that by
deep and gradual sub-irrigation eight
acres can be better cared for than one
now is by the common method of shall
low surface irrigation. In other words
the water now available for irrigating
one acre by the shallow or surface
method will irrigate seven acres more
by deep or sub-irrigation as practiced
and so ably commended by Mr.. Stiles.
Hence, not only vastly superior re-
suits will follow the Stiles method,
but the area of irrigated land may be
increased seven fold, if it is available,
for the present supply Of water will
reclaim it and maintain it.
Even if but one-half of the water
now used, or rather wasted, by the
present system of shallow or surface
irrigation can be saved and made far
more effective by deep sub-irrigation,
it follows as matter of course that
double the number of acres of oranges,
lemons and other fruits dependent up
on irrigation can be brought under cul-
tivation to much better advantage by
deep or sub-irrigation if suitable land
can be found for the purpose, without
any increase in the water supply. In
any event, very superior crops will be
raised with less than half the water
now used

All the money possessed by Americas
richest man couldn't buy him one min
ute's respite from sorrow. When John
d. Rockefeller came face to face with
the problem of Life and Death he
found he was no more than a beggar.
The price Of a life he could not pay,
and his money was fortress which
Death stormed with ease. The world
knows John d. Rockefeller as a money
grubber, a man who has wrung mill
ions from the legitimate channels of
trade and refused to hear the cries Of
the victims to his capacity for bust
ness. There is another side to his char
acter. The love of this strong man
was lavished on little John McCor-
mick, his grandson. They were a
strange pair. They played together,
they watched the building Of house
together, they admired the chickens and
ranged the great barn on the Rookie
feller estate together. The man made
the boys pleasures his own. Little
John Mccormick became i'll and Death
refused to be stayed. The business Mr..
Rockefeller poured oil money and hired
special trains to convey doctors who
could earn fortunes by saving the life
of baby. Science was invoked. Ev-
erything possible was done. Zone lit
tie life for a baby for an old mans
sake" was the cry. The answer that
came back from the tomb was "No,"
and after nights OF worry and days Of
pain there were little white coffin and
poor old man bowed down with grief.
What is the good Of millions that will
not buy the things that the heart values
more than hope Of heaven itself?

HARDTOBEAR
Story Of a Druggist Who Was
Always Compounding Rem
edies for Others Yet
Suffered AgOnieS
Himself.
From the Republican, Eldorado, III

Perhaps in no case where stomach
trouble was the ailment has the eff
cheney of a popular remedy been SO
thoroughly demonstrated as in.the case
of w. e. Mathis, prominent druggist
of Eldorado, Ill. The story as told by
Mr.. Mathis is as follows: nj
"In the spring of 1894 I had a very
serious case of Indigestion, My stom
ach commenced to give me great:trpu-
BILE, and, while knew the nature of
the pain, did not at first use the
proper precaution. For some time I
did not pay any attention, but at grad
ually grew worse, when I consulted a
physician, who prescribed for me-
used his medicine according to fnstruc
tions. I began to experience nervous
spells, became subject to eqagestion
of the stomach, and considered myself
in a precarious condition. The physi-
clans medicine and other remedies I
tried failed to benefit me. ~
lone day a friend urged me to try
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, for Pale Peo-
pie. I considered it a1Gseless texperi-
ment, but as I had tried everything
else, I agreed to take them. 4 That
was three and half years ago, When
I had used three boxes i could note
very plainly the change for the. better.
When I had used the seventh box I
was cured.
"The pills have not, only cured the
Indigestion, but they have salso cured
my nervousness, my blood isS,A per-
feet condition, and they have brought
my weight from lao pounds at the
commencement of the stomach trouble
to 180 at present. Sc
eff any one who reads this desires
to know more of my expepiente, will
gladly answer letters which enclose
stamp for reply. -

English shoe manufacturers who are
beginning to suffer from American
competition allege that, although the
British workman's daily wages are only
about half as large as those of the
American operative, the .1abor cost"
Of pair Of shoes iS fully 25 per cent
more in England than in the United
States. Most Of the responsibility for
this fact is laid upon the British union
of boot and shoe operatives, which, it
is said, forbids its members to turn
out more than a certain amount Of
work. Possibly this union has found
the solution to the labor problem; but
the manufacturers doubt it, and base
their doubt upon the experience Of the
raee-that men who are afraid Of doing
too much eventually find it hard to get
anything to do.

the ability of American manufacturers

There are ores in this country that could he readily worked by the process but they arc of grade too low to baul to the shelter and leave a margin of profit. A shelter of this kind miobt be made profitable if erected near the mines.
 There will be Il business and minipq center of much importancs in that rich mineral region of copper and gold of which Pearce. Black Diamond, Tur- quoise and Gleeson will be all tributary.

Unparalleled Losses.

: The losses in Amalgamated copper stock within q few mOaths are without parallel in the history Of Wall street
 At SEQ a share, at which the stock sold, the share capital Of the company represented d stock market selling valre of S2Ol, ,5OO.OOO. \ cut in half ia price. 10 65s. with the selling value at s5. represented slO0. 70. OOO, and the decline Of the security is represented by the same enormous figure. The public loss Of SlO0, 75l. .OOO is widely dis. tribuied, and figures not only in the money actually withdrawn, but in the decrea>ed borrowing power of stock holders.
 No such loss, i, is believed. has ever been eD,ailed Tn connection with any one property in an e0Ul perivd. Il tall. on the rich and the poor alike, and has sent a chill throughout the financial world, affecting money rates al every financial center of Europe, and infi0, encing, at one time or another, British eoaSolS, French ren,es and German im, perlal bond issues,
 Tho result has been obtained through declines in copper and copper Shares and no securities apparently have escaped the malign influence, through the effect which the sellipg ot one stock or group ot stocks has ou aa. other, That the stock has had such influence on the markets ot the world is duo Co the fact that it is the property ot the Standard oil party, and has been re- gard cd as renecling the position ot that all.powerful in,eres, toward the general market. Not one word of news has accompanied the decline, which was inaagurated just prior to the omis- sion of the extra quarterly dividend on Amalgamated copper tn September, The omitted dividend amounted Co of per cent, involving sun 10 larger than S755, 900.

received in the Picket Office the day be-
fore from Mrs. Nettie Pitcher of Her
mosa, S. OAK, in which she says
Kindly send paper containing account
of the death of L. B. Reno" The files
Of The Picket failed to disclose any
edition containing Mr.. Renos obituary
and it became the duty OF reporter to
find out how long the gentleman had
been absent from this life, so that an
accurate account of the event might be
secured.
It is up to the reading public to solve
this enigma. The general opinion seems
to prevail that Mr.. Reno has been dead
since the 9th day of November last. At
that time, in company with several other
distinguished gentlemen, Mr.. Reno died
political death from which there shall
be no awakening. From the Salt River
elysium of defeated politicians he now
gazes with supreme contempt upon the
mad whir Of the political maelstrom.
AS far as physical health goes Mr.. Reno
looks as sound and healthy as the best
of them. Someone has been playing a
joke on the lady in Formosa, where L.
q. Reno used to live and is we'll known.
But politically Mr.. Reno is like his side
partner, William Jennings Bryan, dead
dead, dead.
