made upon him when he for the first
time looked upon a valley filled with
verdure that had been wrested from a
desert region solely through the use OF
water by means Of irrigation. The !
transition from the vast and sterile !
plains that he had been traversing for |
days to the verdure clad oasis fed by !
arteslan wells was as restful and re-

glimpse OF an irrigated oasis was In
north Africa, but II differed only In de-

looked upon In Arizona, New Mexico |

liar. Irrigation, In fact, Is one Of the
Oldest landmarks Of agriculture and Is
at the same time In certain regions the
most useful II need not be argued
that there are portions Of the United
states in which irrigation Is absolutely
Indispensable to continued existence
there. and especially to the carrying on
of agricultural pursuits. The arid re-
gion Of the United States has been well
defined by our geographers and Is esti-
mated to be about 100000 square miles
in area. II comprises vast territory
extending north and south from the
British American boundary line to the
Mexican, and the total amount OF arid
lands owned by the government aggre-
gates about COO 900 acres. Of which II
is believed at least 10000 900 acres can
be reclaimed by irrigation carried out
on a vast scale In other words, a vast
empire Is at our doors merely awaiting
the benehcent action Of water to unlock !
its hitherto closed storehouses Of wealth
This region Is destined TO become pop
ulous and capable Of supporting not less
than a million families, all through the |
lmpoundlng Of water now running to |
waste and the placing of It where It |
will do the most good to the greatest
number.
A dozen years or so ago the whole |
amount of irrigated land in the United |
States did not exceed 1000 900 acres. but
II has more than doubled since What
has been accomplished in such states as
Arizona, California, Colorado, Montana,
Nevada, etc, is too well known to need
recapltulation here but It Is matter
for proud boast that 1t has been done
mainly by private capital individual
and communal The friends OF irriga-
ton say that less than the cost OF one
first class battleship, or about l3OOOO 900,
would supply life giving water to 100000
acres OF land, converting It from sterll-
ity into fertility and making It available

this city this morning announced his
death to his many friends here.
The cause of Mr. Mitohells death was
an abcess which bad formed over the

good health for some time and had been
taking a lsy.off. When the Elks excur-
sion began, however work was 30 heavy

his run; but the work was too much for
hlm and he was obliged to give up. He
was taken to the hospital a few days ago
and it was there he died.
Nearly everyone who is acquainted
with the railroad men in this eity at all
knew Conductor Mitchell. Jolly, good.
natured and always accom- moda dating, his
passengers a. we'll as fellow. employees
learned to respect him and to value his
friendship above the average. He was

BRAIN FOOD NONSENSE.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most competent
authorities. They have dispelled the
silly notion that one kind of food is
needed for brain, another for mus
cles, and still another for bones. A
correct diet will not only nourish Il
particular part of the body, but il
will sustain every other part. Yet,
however good your food may be, its
nutriment is destroyed by indiges-
tion or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent their
coming by taking regular doses Of
