STORAGE RESERVOIRS.

The storage of most of the. spring
waters which would otherwise go to
waste has come to be one of the ne
cessities of the western states. In
past years water was considered inn
portant largely in connection with
the limited amount of land then un-
der irrigation, but so rapidly have the
demands of irrigation advanced and
so greatly is water needed, not only
for this, but for other new purposes
as well, such as cheap power to gen.
crate electricity and for town and city
supply, that it has now become a
question of saving all the water of the
streams, that of the freshet season i'll
the spring as much as possible as
well as the summers flow to meet the
increasing demands. This must be
done by the construction of large stor-
age reservoirs, and already great ac-
tivity is being shown in the western
states and especially i'll California, in
making preliminary surveys for these
important and necessary undertake
ings.
The United States Geological Sur
vey has recently published in its in
teresting series of water supply and
irrigation papers, the results of one
of these Investigations looking to the
storage of water in the valley of
Cache Greek, one of the important
agricultural and fruit raising dis
tricts near Sacramento, noted for it's
fertility and productiveness. The
basin of this stream is also of consid-
cradle additional importance as it con-
tains as the head waters of Cache
creek, the beautiful body of water
known as Clear Lake, situated III the
heart of the Coast Range, at an ele-
walton of over 1000 feet above sea
level. The purity of it's waters and
its relative nearness to San Francisco
makes its storage possibilities as a
probable supply for that city of con-
siderable value.

persisted IN ALASKA,

Tacoma, Wash, Nov. 10. - Miss
Emma Scott, sister in-law of Attorney
General Sheets of Ohio, is believed
by her friends to have persisted in
Alaska. She went to Nome early
last year. In September she was
stranded with party of miners in
the Kotzbue Sound country. Their
mules died and the men they sent
back for provision failed to send
them. The party was then $50 miles
from Point Blossom Mission station
on Kotzebue Sound and had no other
hope of securing food. Miss Scott has
relatives and friends here who have
been eagerly awaiting the latest news
from Nome to learn if her party was
rescued. The last steamers have now
arrived, but have brought no tidings
Postmaster Cromwell, who has assist
ed in the investigation, has wired
Attorney General Sheets on the sub
ject.

HONOR IN THE ARMY.

President Roosevelt is proving him
self a reformer in many ways which
were not expected. He sets fine eX-
ample in sending his boys to the pub
lie schools, he testifies to his belief i'll
possibilities ahead for the negro race
by inviting Booker T. Washington
to dine with him, and now he has set
a standard of honor for appointments
in the army which is entirely new
and as entirely commendable. The
case is that of Capt, Crawford of the
South Carolina volunteers, who was
slated for appointment as second lieu
tenant in the regular army for SER
vices in the Philippines He was en-
gagged to marry girl in South Caro-
lima and after the preparations for the
wedding were made Tilted her with
out any assigned reason. The girl

BRITISH ISLES.

London, Nov 13.-Violent winds
rain and snow storms are reported
from all the coasts of the United
Kingdom. A fierce gale is blowing in
the channel and mountainous seas are
running. No less than half dozen
small vessels within sight of Dover
are flying signals of distress and the
life boats are vainly attempting to go
to their rescue. Rocket apparatus has
been sent to the south foreland,
where an admiralty vessel is on the
rocks with the crew clinging to the
rigging. Several vessels have been
dismasted and tugs are rescuing craft
which were driven ashore. At other
channel ports there have been similar
exciting scenes. Ships everywhere
are running for shelter.
Wild weather prevails over the lake
district. The first snow is falling on
Westmoreland Hills A number of
coast towns have suffered damage to
sea walls and houses, several rivers
have broken their banks and seriously
damaged the low parts of inland
towns. Traffic i'll some of the streets
of Blackburne has been stopped.
There are several feet of water in
many low districts Belfast is flooded
and elsewhere the mills and schools
are closed on account of the floods.
Seas are so high off Tyne that ship,
ping movements have been stopped
Even the river traffic is partially sus
pended. Hundreds of shipyard mel

ARTISTIC PRINTING
An Advertisement for Any Firm.

Did you ever stop to think of the
immense quantity of common printing
there is i'll the world? If not, look
around and you will find that more
than one half of the printed matter
you come across is ordinary, gotten
up at cut throat" prices just for the
sake of getting the order.
Any firm using such printing does
not take into consideration the fact
that this class of printing carries no
weight as an advertisement, in fact,
it is not noticed except to be condemn
ed.
Get first class and artistic station
airy even if it does cost a few cents
more and what is the result? Every
letter, bill or statement sent out from
such firm is an advertisement show
ing that the proprietors of the bust
ness has respect for his business and
believes there is nothing too good for
it.
Anyone needing good printing
should write for estimates on any
thing in the printing line from a small
dodger to a large book, to the

BEING RIGHT.

Saddle and bride and grth
stirrup and crupper and bit;
Man on the top of a little horse
Shaggy and strong and fit;
Rugged and bearded face,
Ragged old hat of felt,
Rifle that kills at thousand yards,
And tight-crammed cartridge belt,
Oh it isn't by turning out your toes,
You can beat the foe in fight
Orby learning to march like "A marionette
Or by keeping your buttons bright;
And it isn't the way that you crock your
arm,
When you shut your eye to shoot;
But it's taking to cover at every chance.
Hilock and rock and root
He doesn t know how to dress,
And he doesn't know how TO drill;
But he met the smartest troops in the
world
And Tough till they had their fill,
He's a slovenly, awkward chap,
He's lubberly far meT-man;
But he lay on the veldt from dawn till
dawn,
And shot till they broke and ran
For it isn't the way that you keep the
touch,
Or the way that you wheel about;
And it isn't by pulling your waist belt in,
And by padding your tunic out;
And it isn't by cooking your forage cap,
Or by gluing glass in your eye
But it's knowing the way to shoot like
And it's learning the way to die.
They have gathered his kith and kin,
In prison beyond the sea-
But they can't imprison daring soul,
That lives in a bosom free;
They have shattered the calcined walls,
Which sheltered his child and wife;
But they can't extinguish the flame
they've lit,
Till it dies with his dying life
| For it's never the heat of a burning home,
| That has softened foeman's heart;
And it's never the reek of lyddite shell,
That has riven his ranks apart;
And it isn't money; it isn't men,
When the guns loud song begins;
But it's feeling your foot on your native
land,
And it's being RTGHT-that wins.

FOR AMERICAN SHIPPING.

President Roosevelt, in making the
announcement that he will carry out
the national policies inaugurated by
his lamented predecessor, did much to
give the country confidence. Ship
ping interests should feel secure UNI
der the new administration, for there
was no policy to which the late Presi-
dent was more fully committed than
the policy of national assistance i'll re-
storing the American merchant ma
rine. In his last address to the coun-
try-his Buffalo speech, made but n
few hours before he fell by the as
sassins bullet--he made strong and
eloquent plea for American shipping.
If this long neglected but important
industry receives from President
Roosevelt the encouragement prom
ised by President Mckinley, we will
speedily take our place among the
great maritime nations of the world,

AGRICULTURE.

Washington, Nov 13-The indus
trial commission on Tuesday made
public its review of evidence taken
before commission on the subiectsof
agriculture, and agricultural labor.
Among matters discussed is that Of
agricultural depression of which the
commission speaks as follows
THE cause most often assigned for
the depression of agriculture in the
eastern states is the increased produce
ton due to the opening of western
lands in advance of the natural de-
mand.
The competition of the west has been
rendered especially severe by the pol
icy of the railroads in making freight
rates relatively low for long distances.
The other staple products having
thus become Improbable in the east
1t has been necessary for farmers to
change their methods Thus truck
farming has largely superseded cereal
growing along the Atlantic coast but
farmers in the north Atlantic states
now complain of the severe COMPETE
ton of States further south in this in
dustry, and much the same may be
said of fruit growing. Even so per-
ishable commodity as milk is trans
ported much longer distances than
formerly, since the Introduction of
refrigerator cars.
Another cause which several wit
nesses assign for the unsatisfactory
condition of agriculture in some parts
of the country is the conservatism of
the farmers, their lack of quick adj
justment to changed conditions, and
lack of effective business planning
and management. -

ONE VyOMAN

With two faces one face bright with
health, the other face pinched and drawn
by illness Many a woman can take the
portrait of herself made but few years
ago, and holding it by her face in the
mirror realize a similar change.
Behind this change in form and fea-
ture is always disease, and generally dis
case which affects the womanly organ
ism. The backache and bearing-dow
pains put a heavy strain on the nervous
system. There is loss of sleep, lack of
appetite and, as a natural result, loss of
strength and flesh.
Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription
cures diseases of the womanly organs.
1t establishes regularity, dries enfeebling
drains, heals inflammation and ulcera-
ton and cures female weakness.

years with womb trouble and dragging-down

AUSTRALIAN MAIL

London, Nov l4.-Inquiries at the
postoffice department show that no
change has been made in the matter
of sending the Australian mails by
way of the Pacific across the United
States by rail from San Francisco to
New York and thence by steamship
to Liverpool. The authorities say the
San Franciscan route will ordinarily
be used for the New Zealand mails,
but the Suez route is quicker for the
Australian service. No change is
likely until much quicker boats are
put on and more frequent service
given between the United States and
Australia.

WEST POINT.

Washington, Nov. 49, - The most
important feature of the report of the
board of visitors to the West Point
military academy is recommendation
that the academy be rebuilt The re-
port says: cit has been nearly one
hundred years since West Point was
founded and from the birth of the in
stitution nearly all the improvements
have been on the patchwork plan
There is but one building constructed
by the government at the post that is
within this day and generation. All
the others are old, uncomfortable,
and entirely inadequate to the present
conditions. Few of them are equip
ped with any of the conveniences now
to be found in the average public
school building in the country dis
tricts of many of the states 1t can
truthfully be said that there is
pressing necessity for a complete tear
ing down and a new building up.
The policy pursued in this regard at
Annapolis should be speedily adopted
at West Point.
The enlarged duties and responsible
ties OF the military, as related to the
recently enlarged sphere of American
influence and power is such as not
only to justify but force Congress to
proper recognition of the demands of
the military academy. Putting the
matter in few words it can be truth
fully said that the barracks in which
the cadets sleep and study and live
when not in recitation room or on the
drill ground are little better equipped
than the barracks at the average coun-
ty poor house. The report says the
board is satisfied that the hazing has
been eradicated.

IN COLOMBIA.

Washington, Nov. 1.-the Colon
bian government is making an earnest
effort and in an interesting way to
solve the troubles which have arisen
in it's executive branch. The first
official act of new Colombian con-
gress is about to appoint "desig
nado" an official who succeeds to the
presidency upon the retirement of
both the president and vice president
General Rafael Reyes, Colombian
minister to France, now in attend
ance upon the congress of American
republics at the city of Mexico, as one
of the Colombian delegates, holds
that position.
Information has reached the Colon
bian legation i'll this city to the effect
that the commission composed of
three Colombian officials is about to
leave Bogota for Mexico city to en-
deavor to induce General Reyes to ac-
company it back to the Colombian
capital and take up the reins of gov
eminent.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
former president, San Clemente has
been out of office for sometime it is
true that he is still the constitutional
president of Colombia, and he has yet
to tender his resignation from that
office. However, San Clemente, it is
stated, has said he will tender his
resignation provided President Marc
quin, who is constitutionally only the
vice president, will do likewise. A
great many of the present complica-
tions III Colombia have arisen out of
this situation, and the strong factions
back of the commission see in Gen.
Reyes an official with a clean title to
the presidency, if, as they confidently
believe, President Maroquin can be
induced to relinquish his Office.

All the world over and in every

established itself and pursued it's

thousands of men to-day would tes-

Salvation Army; that the first voice
they heard calling to better existence
was the voice of some officer or SOL

that brought them near the presence
of living God was the prayer of q
Salvation Army girl. If it is possible,
then, that the eyes of some of Mont
pelier's blind men and women may be
opened, who among those who think,
will be ignorant or prejudiced enough
to despise the physician, or his meth
cd of operation?
OF the Salvation Army lasses and
their unselfish work, Will Carleton, the
poet, says:
eff these women I've seen

From the lowest depths down;

Or to share in His crown "

AN ENTERING WEDGE.

The Boston Commercial Bulletin
says that 1.-the organization of the
Free Hide League means that the now
existing duty of fifteen per cent on
imported hides is to be vigorously at
tackled at the next meeting of Con-
gress. - To secure this inconsiderable
in the cost of South Ameri-
can hides the Free Hide League
and the Commercial Bulletin would
reopen the whole question of tariff
policy. And the free hide people are
only types of other selfish interests
that are now at work, some of them
shouting for reciprocity, which very
many persons understand to mean a
reduction in the protective duties on
other peoples goods.
The Philadelphia Ledger bluntly
admits that the free hide advocates
want the Dingley tariff to be revised
1t says "Steps were taken yester-
day, at a gathering of shoe, harness
and leather men from various parts
of the east and as far west as Mil
waukee, which, it is believed, will
lead to a vigorous demand for the
abolition of the present tariff on hides,
and which will, it is thought, throw
open the entire subject of tariff revi
sion for the consideration of Congress
at its session in December. "
