THE National Homemakey is the
name of a magazine published
monthly in Washington, d. c., by
the National Irrigation Association,
with Guy Elliott Mitchell as edi-
tor. The magazine deals wholly
with home-making in the West by
irrigation, and each number con-
tains splendid halftone engravings
illustrating articles on what has
been done, what is being done and
what can be done in the way of
making homes in the arid region
by a system of irrigation. The
magazine is ably edited and we'll
worth the price of subscription, 81
per year. The residents of this
valley could, no doubt, get some
valuable information from each
number of the magazine in regard
to identifying their homes and inn
proving their farms. The, Home
make, is also doing good work in
urging Congress to make a law
which will reclaim the entire arid
region by irrigation, carried on by
national aid.

SOME opposition to the irriga-
ton bill now before Congress is
springing up, and Representative
Sebley, of Pennsylvania, has dele
gated himself the oracle to talk the
measure to death. This man Sib-
ley has mind about as broad as a
Iath, and as dense as the material
from which laths are made. His
argument is that if the West is
built up by irrigation the East will
be injured in its agricultural re-
sources.
While there are over Ioo, 200, 900
acres of land in the arid West to
be reclaimed, it must not for one
moment be supposed that all this
land is to be reclaimed at once; not
in year, nor ten years, nor TWEEN
ty years The reclamation will be
gradual, few thousand acres be-
ing taken up and put under water
and cultivation each year. This
system will build up a country
which of itself will consume great
quantity of the stuff produced, and
the balance would naturally come
to the Pacific Coast for expectation.
Not only will the East not be in
jured in an agricultural way by
the irrigation of the West, but her
manufacturing industries will be
vastly benefited by being called
upon to furnish manufactured ar
ticles to the vast number of home
seekers which would settle in the
new irrigated West.
1t is said that the Hansbrough-
Newlands bill will pass the Senate,
but that it will have tough strug-
gle in the House.
President Roosevelt, in his mes
sage to Congress, spoke very plain
ly about his desires in regard to ir-
rigation and reclamation. He is
better acquainted with the needs
of the West than any President
the country has had for a great
many years. and Congress should
pay heed to his recommendations.
1t will not be we'll for a Republican
Congress to turn down the requests
of the West on the irrigation ques-
tion

Cured Daily IN Spite Of Themselves.
No Eoxioss Doses No Weskealao of the Nerves. A
Pleasant and Positive Cure for the llQuor Habit.

1t is now generally known and un.

ease and not a weakness. A body
filed with poison, and nerves COM
pletely shattered by periodical or
constant use of intoxicating liquors,

ty or loss of time from business by
this wonderful "Home Gold Cure"
which has been perfected after many
years of close study and treatment
of inebriates. The faithful use ac-
cording to directions OF this wonder

teed to cure the most obstinate case,
no matter how hard drinker. Our
records show the marvellous trans
formation of thousands of drunk
ards into sober, industrious and up

remedy is in no sense a nostrum but

this priceless remedy, and and as

Bears can climb well il little. but the
grizzly and other large species stay
mainly on the ground. A bear always
climbs down n tree backward, as does
the domestic cat until she has nearly
reached the ground. when she turns
and jumps. but most wild eats run
down trunk head first. even the heavy
leopard being a more skillful climber

discoverable reason unless II be that

side track lay waiting engine. The
fireman and engineer were smoking
placidly. while the safety valve was
giving open evidence of the size of the
fire within. AS the engine was doing
nothing In particular, this waste OF
coal reused the ire of the man on the

he inquired of the loaiing fireman.
