OF the Hansbrough irrigation bill
that has passed the senate, the Min
neapolis Tribune says: "The senate
has passed the irrigation bill provid-
ing that all the moneys received from
the sale of public lands in states in
which aridty prevails over any ap-
probable sections. shall be applied ito
purposes of irrigation. The house
should pass the bill without question.
IT is more important by far than the
ship subsidy bill or the rivers and
harbors bill. although the lafter state
n1ent may seem violent heresy to many
minds. There is no question touch
ing the prosperity of this country more
nearly than that OF the reclamation
from aridity of the millions Of acres
OF which the title still rests with the
government Such irrigation must,
of necessity, result in the further re-
clamation OF other millions of acres
owned by private parties

Mr.. SchWab's observations in France,
Italy and Austria and now Germany have
confirmed his belief that their external
markets will inevitably become the United
States markets and that all they can do
in their trade contests is to preserve
their domestic markets, through tariffs,
the Americans apropriating the rest or
the world. Whether Germany puts up
her tariff or not, 1t does not count for
much, in Mr.. Schwab's general survey OF
the internationl situation.
Naturally" he said, lit is to Americas
interest that the German tariff should
not be increased, but do not think we
can expect Germany not to Increase her
tariff so that it will really protect her
home market from our competition III
Germay does not raise the tariff, it means
that our highly finished goods, as well
as our coarser products will take this
market.

hours were entertained with the many
interesting and unique features of a Grid

One of the best features was "coun

been recognized by expert skin special
lists.
Says DR.. Fox, in his celebrated Atlas
of Skin Diseases: ''The term Eczema,
meaning to boil out or 'effervesce,' i'm
plies catarrhal condition of the skim
DR.. Morris, physician to the Department
of Skin Diseases at st. Mary's Hospital,
London, England, in American Medicine,
Nov. 9, 1901, defines Eczema as "a ca
tarrhal Inflammation of the skin, orig
mating without visible external irritation
and characterized in some stages of it's
evolution by serious oxidation
In Eczema, or Catarrh in the outside
or covering-skin, many of the same con-
ditions exist that are found in Catarrh
of the inside, or lining skin, known as
mucous membrane. There is the same
engagement and inf1ltration and a more
or less infiammatory condition. Owing to
the difference in structure of the two
skins there is usually less discharge in
Eczema than in Catarrh of a mucous
membrane, it often being only a slight
oo2ing that drying, forms scabs. or
scales, and because Of greater nerve sup
ply in the outside skin. Eczema gives rise
to more irritation as burning and itching,
than is found where the Catarrh is IN
the inside, or lining skin
Eczema is just as much Catarrh as is
the disease of the inside skin known by
that name. Catarrh is constitutional or

OPTIONS GOOD FOR TIME

CAR SITUATION IS EASIER
Roads Have Considerable New
Equipment Ordered and Expect
to he Able to Handle
Big Business.

The traffic officials of the different
roads centering in st. Paul report that
business is exceptionally good for inns
time Of the year. While the railroads 90
not exactly have seasons, the spring
months of the year are generally re-
garded as quiet ones, but the business
this year promises to exceed that OF any
year previous for some time.
The car shortage has been diminished
to some extent, but the roads are all
pretty hard pressed. However, the inn
mense amount of new equipment ordered
during the summer just passed will soon
begin to arrive. which will relieve the
situation somewhat.
Much equipment is being ordered this
spring, and it is hoped in this way to
be able to combat successfully with the
usual rush of fall business.
A local official said yesterday that his
road was in pretty good shape in regard
to cars, compared to what it was a
month ago, but at that more cars could
be used if they were available. He
stated that many people in ordering cars
called for more than they were able to
use, and that the roads were beginning
to realize this and fill orders of cars in
proportion, instead oe sending the full
number requested. While last year was
big year for traffic, 1902 promises to
exceed it considerably.

When President Hughitt,. of the North

ago, the arrangements for drawing the
usual annual appropriation for the regu-
lar spring work on the Omaha were
completed. The work viii be commenced
as soon as the weather permits and Will
probably take all summer.
1t was reported yesterday the Omaha
contemplated building some new lines.
but this could not be confirmed at the
general offices. Several officials were
seen and they all discIaimed any kowl-
edge of any new work, but all said that
the regular spring work would be quite
extensive this year.
The road will go on with the work Of
shortening the ST. Paul. Chicago line, and
will also reduce the grades and eliminate
the curves along the line as rapidly as
possible The intention Of all the roads
seems to be to shorten the distance to
Chicago as much as possible, and the
Omaha is following out this policy in
marked manner.
AS was noted in the h e G o b e
few days ago, the company will no doubt
make some improvements on the prop
erty recently acquired on the West side,
such as building spur tracks to the new
manufacturing concerns that are going
up in that section of the city.
