Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale Of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mother and
grandmothers never thought OF
using anything else for indigestion
or biliousness. Doctors we're scarce
and they seldom heard of appen-
dieitis, nervous prostration or heart
failure, etc. They used August
Flower to cleanse out the system
and stop fermentation of uAdi-
gested food, regulate the action Of
the liver, stimulate the nervous and
organic action Of the system, and
that is all they took when feeling
dull and bad with headaches and
ether aches. You only need a few
doses of Green's August Flower, in
liquid form, to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter

Mr.. He1gate Explains.

EDITOR GAzETTE:-Your edi-
terial comment on one of my let
tiers makes it necessary for me
to beg space to explain that my
article was either very clunlsily
writer Or very oddly interpreted.
l referred to a ruInor afoat
here to the effect that a number
OF prominent senators of both
parties urged Chairman Jones to
telegraph the democratic men,
bers of the Oregon legislature
asking them to vote for Senator
Mitchell. l said that even the
rumor, since it testified to the
public estimate of the senator's S
relations with his colleagues,
was itself an evidence of his
strength. Despite the bright
light of your criticism, 1 fail
utterly to see that I even hinted
that his democratic support In
Oregon was an evidence of his
strength. I referred to his
power as a senator, net a candi.
date.
AS to his election: The fact
that he was elected is the prinoi-
pal thing. The mere political
alignment of his supporters,
since he was elected as a rspub-
lican. will cut no figure. Sena-
tor Morgan has lost no prestige
On account of the republican
votes given him; nor has Sena.
tor Hoar's influence greatly
diminished because of the fact
every democrat in the Massachu-
sets legislature voted fer him.
Of course, as you state, Senator
Mitchell should have received
the votes of all the republican
members Of the legislature.
You say: "The mention in
Mr.. Helgate's letter that Sena-
tor Simon and Representative
Moody are especially sought out
by the special correspondents of
the Oregonian and their doings
chronicled in a more friendly
and elaborate way than the acts
of other members from Oregon is
very indiscreet. This paper be-
lieves that when members are
elected to the national legisla-
ture it is best to encourage all to
work together and to hold up
their hands and support each
and all of them in every way,
dropping the small talk engen-
dered to some extent possibly
by antagonistic efforts in political
contests
How indiscreet? If you mean
it is not COED policy On my part,
that is a very small eousidera-
ton. The statement is abso-
lutely true; and is not, as you
seem to fear, discreditab1e to
Senator Simon and Mr.. Moody.
l cannot agree in your infer
ence that the friendship of the
Oregonian stamps a msn a de-
generate. We ought all to take
a pride in knowing that these
gentlemen are constantly doing
something for the state, werth
mentioning. I was net mourn
ing because their good work was
reported by the Oregenian, but I
simply called attention to the
fact that the delegation as a
whole has not received, and is
not receiving, the fair treatment
and support that the best inter
ests of the state demand should
be accorded it.
fear that my letter was net
read with that careful delibera-
ton which the commentator
usually employs.

BIsBEE BRANCH.
s. P. Watchman Guarding the Grade
 Crossing.
IFrom the Deming Herald.l

Grading goes merrily along on the Bisbee and Deming railroad survey in this city, and the men and teams are being increased daily. It is now un- derstood that the work of laying the ties and iron will be commenced in a week or two and pushed to completion as rapidly as possible.
 The Bisbee and DeEing railroad will have one of tue smoothest road beds in the country. and A Wallace, the big railroad grader, is extremely well pleased with it,
 The unbrotherly feeling between the Bisbee railroad people and the s. F. grows apace, and last Tuesday when the Bsbee graders crossed the s. P. tracks with their grade they were or dered away. Since then the S. P. peo- pie have kept very determined looking man named C. Il. Brown at that point to see that the Bisbee grad CTS do not cross it's tracks again.
 Chief Engineer " NJ. Wam baugb of the Bisbee aud Dening road was in town Sunday, and assured several of our citizens that the road would cer. tainly be pushed and built to compile tion, and would not be affected in the least by the company's Fl Psso plans, whatever they might be.

igan, the lumber camps of Wisconsin, the mines of the northern peninsula and the prairies of the far west, occa- sionally having lucidity enough to marry, remain for time, forget and wander on, leaving a trail ofgrass wid. ows aud semi-orphans behind him, but all the time conscious of the fact hat he was somebody from somebody from somewhere with faulty or dis eased memory that utterly failed to inform him of his name or whence he sprang.
 When found in ''No. Mans Land" he wore a suit of clothes that for patches and variegated colors would have won first prize agains. the coat of Jacob.
 MT. Burnett bought Thompson a new suit and retained his old ones.
 After the indentity of Thompson was established Mr. Burnett was besough t by Grand Army posts to put the story of Tnompson's wanderings in book and he received assurances of subscrip- tions which would have netted him not less than $l0,000. He actually bega n work upon it, but the story was so crowded with interesting incidents, all of them could not be included ia a work of reasonable size and none of them could be omitted. Once he under took to make the story of Thompson the subject of play, but the obstacle of a multiplicity of incidents again presented itself.
 Thompson recently reopened com munication with him and told him that an agreement had been made to bring out book containing the tale of his wanderings and desired that Mir. Bur nett contribute at least chapter to it. He requested that his old clothes be sent him. Yesterday, in response to an urgent request, Mr. Burnett boxed the suit carefully and shipped it tc the east, where it will be on exhibition at the Guard Army encampment of the G. A. R. in Cleveland, Ohio.
 Hugh Thompson is now living in Var Vert county, Ohio, surrounded by rela, tives, friends, his latest family (h, knows nothing of any other) enjoying the tail.end of an eventful career, tho events of which he knows but little of. and thankful that he is an integra part of government that marks ever the sparrow's fall.

 The making of metropolitan daily is the fiercest, bitterest, most exhaust ing struggle in the world.
 Every man in the office is constantly on the jump. Minds are trained to make instant decisions, and the wear and tear is frightful. The heaviest burden naturally falls upon those in authority. They do not long stand tue strain. I have seen three men whom l numbered among my friends go insane in executive positions. Dur ing the Spanish American war, when the souls of newspaper men were tried as never before, sax one of the ablest journalists that New York has pro- duced in the last decade leave the com. posing room, where he was making up," and rush through the editorial rooms, raving maniac, still clutching proofs in his hands. He died few weeks later, without recovering his reason. His associates were shocked and grieved, but it never occurred to them to be frightened. Tue third victim died few weeks ago, raving like the others.
 
 With two or three exceptions the managing editors of the New York newspapers are less than forty years old. Truly it is the pace that kills. While the workers themselves have no real appreciation of the pressure at which they work. the proprietors have which explains why three or four men are so trained that they can take charge of the different editions at moments notice.

Letter from Manila.
From the Phoenix Republican,

From the Phoenix Republican,
 Mir. David E. Jones of Congress has received a letter from Lee E. Troxel, who enlisted as soldier and went to Manila at the outbreak of the war. He has secuted over tue greater Dart of Luzon and been finally discharged. He says the island is rapidly assuming state of peace and the natives are giving little trouble. He predicts that the Philippines will become famous for the development of wonderful in- dustrial enterprises under the civil government to be esta blished by the United States. He is very much in- fatuated with the country and is great ly taken with its agricultural and mineral resources. He says he has seen many accounts in newspapers of rich mines being worked there, all of which are untrue. The only mining { done is placer mining and that is done in very crude way. Many Americans who went over there to prospect were prevented by war conditions from do- ing so thoroughly and kept from de- velopiug what little they did find. Nevertheless, he says, he believes Luzon is rich in both gold and copper, aud he knows of. some prospects that are most promising. He believes big mines will be opened up iu the near future and that they can be economical ly worked by native labor under Amer iean bosses. At any rate he proposes to stay there and spar for an opening and would like to get in touch with capitalists who feel like prospecting 1 that country.

School marms follow the flag. The government is going to send TO of them along with 400 more male peda- gogues, to the Philippines in July, if that many can be collected. Their sensations on landing at Manila are a subject for speculation, but they are surely going osbe in transports on the way over--unless they walk. As for the 400, if they can arrange any equit- able system of division, they ought to be in the seventh heaven.

Government Land Areas.
From the Los Angeles Times.l

From the Los Angeles Times.l
 In connection with the movement to have the national government inaugur- ate general system of storage reserv- oirs for purposes of irrigat tion in the aridregions of the west, the proportion of public land yet remaining in possess sion and under control of the govern. ment in some of the Western States and Territories is 8 matter of interest. It will surprise the average reader to learn that in the Territory of Arizona 76 per cent. of the total area of land is still held by the national government. In California, notwithstanding the extensive development of private lands by private capital, 5S per cent. of the territorial area of the State is public land. In Montana, 7S per cent. of the land is still government land. h Utah the proportion of public land is S6 per cent. of the total area. In Wyoming So per cent, in Idaho S9 per cent and in 
 Nevada 6 per cent. of the territorial area belongs to the general government. It is apparent from these figures for which the Natfonal Irrigation Nigga zine is sauthority-that the governm ent of the United States, as the largest land owner in each of the great States or Territories named, has direct and vital interest in theproject to bring the lands under irrigation and therefore under cultivation. As has been fully demonstrated by facts and figures beyond controversy, the general govern ment-whieh is the only agency that ca n take up the irrigation question and solve it satisfactorily on scale of national magnitube--can easily make the work of reclaiming the arid lands self-sus- tainlng through the sale of the reclaim ed acres to actual settlers at 8 moder- ate price. The governmsnt, in the end, , need not be out a dollar. The govern ment could easily realize q liberal l profit upon this work, and still off the lands to settlers at reasonable price; but it would hardly be polite or desirable for the government to gc
 into the work of reclamation as d
 money-making venture. So long as the
 principal and interest on the invest
 ment were paid back to the govern
 ment, everybody ought to be satisfied
 Upon this basis the proposed scheme
 of national irrigation is entirely feasi
 ble. After the first investment the gov ernment would derive revenue from
 the sale of lands sufficient, in Bh course of few years, to reim purse
 for all outlays, and to enable it tt
 continue the prosecution of the wor ) until practically all the arid land were brought under irrigation, an were tenanted by happy aud pros [ porous communities.
 r It is not scheme to have the goverr , ment glve something for nothing. Tn 3 irrigation movement is in no sense a e eleemosynary enterprise, by which tn r government is to be ask sd to hei : needy or thriftless citizens. It is sin c ply business proposition, undt f which the work performed by the go e ernment would be done upon stric e ly business basis, and under condition
 which could be made to yield to u 5 government, as the principal investo e as large returns, in financial sens a as might be deemed expedient or sirable.
