IRRIGATION PROJECTS.
First Cost of Getting Water Upon the
Land, About $50 Per Acre.

Washington, Nov. IA preliminary
examination has been made by the
engineers of the United States
projects on New Mexico, known as the
Hondo and the Triton lake projects. A
cursory examination indicates that
each project is feasible from both an
engineering and a financial joint of
view.
The land on the Hondo project
which could be irrigated to advantage
amounts to possibly $4,000 acres, and
the first estimate of cost of putting
the water on the land is about $40 per
acre. Land which can be irrigated
most easily from the Hondo reservoir
is nearly all in the hands of private
parties, so that the question of colonl.
cation would cause no trouble. 1t is
all first class irrigable land, free from
alkali, and, because of the underlying
limestone formation, it will never be
/ troubled from that source. The lands
If watered will be easily worth 500 an
acre when planted in alfalfa or corn,
and If used for fruit raising will event,
! ually have higher value. The works
contemplated for this project are the
charging of the natural reservoir and
an inlet and outlet canal which in
volve no engineering difficulties.
The land on the Triton lake project
is all government land with the ex-
j ception of a few claims bordering the
river, This land is. underlain by a
very porous red sandstone, which win
probably afford good subdrainage and
prevent trouble from alkali The
reservoir site is an excellent natural
depression and will hold 10000 acre
feet without any expense except for
the outlet works, which will be in red
sandstone.
The works contemplated In this
project are: a dam and head works
on the Pecos river about 10 miles
above Fort Summer; about sc miles of
, canal to carry 200 second-feet in
times Of food; three structures at
crossings of creeks; the necessary
outlet works, including tunnel 1000
feet long: and about 80 miles of dis
tributing canals on the lands to be

EXHIBITIONS.

When Susie spoke her litJle piece
On exhibition day,
In the old schoolhouse bleak and brown
That looks down Warson way;
In pinafore and dangling braids
She seemed vision sweet,
For me to worship whera | sat
And shufIled in my seat.
When Susie spoke her little piece
All red and pale grew she,
With bashful air and shifting glance
That saw no soul but me.
Although no word | understood,
SO low her lispings were,
| glOried in the thought that |
Whole audience was to her.
When Susie spoke her little piece
But that was years ago.
We're married now, and still am |
Her audience | trow.
Now when she speaks her little piece
Her voice rings clear and loud:
I'd rather be boy again
And share it with a crowd

Y. M. C. A. STARTS
AFTER 100000
Committee Issues an Appeal
to st. Paul Citi-
.,- ZenS.

The Young Mems Christian associa-
ton, of st. Paul, is very much in ear
nest over the matter of obtaining the
necessary 100000 wherewith to erect a
home for the association which will be
lasting and a proud monument to the
philanthropic motives which prompt
its contemplated erection.
1t is claimed by the executive COM
mittee of the association that their de-
mand of 100000 is not an exorbitant
zone-that st. Paul is the only city in
the United States having upwards Of
$4,000 population without building
of this character. Rented quarters
have proved, all over the country, to be
entirely inadequate because of the re-
luctance of landlords to fit up build.
ing as it should be fitted in order to
give the satisfaction required.
1t is computed by this committee
that in st. Paul there are 400 places
where intoxicating liquors are sold and
327 Of these are licensed saloons paying
total of $S27,006 per annum for
licenses alone. For other expenses 1t
is estimated that the footing, with the
license fees, is over $4,000, 900. To COM
bat this the association calls for $780,
600, and in the appeal, among other
things, say in regard to the project of
obtaining this sum by canvass:
After many conferences of. the can
YaSSing committee it was deemed nee
essary to make an inventory of those
who might be interested to give this
large amount.
Nothing but intimate knowledge of
the vast value Of the building would
influence the canvassing committee of
prominent, busy men, to attempt the
arduous task Of so exhaustive a can
vass.
Sooner or later they will reach you.
First, make up your mind to give
something. Then remember that $780,
600 requires the aggregate Of many
large subscriptions, not small ones.
DO not be offended by their persist
ence.
1T is complimentary to be asked to
be generous.
"The result will be the building
where, during the next 100 years, a
multitude of young men will find ref
uge, inspiration and upbuilding, and
have reason to thank God for your gen.

Because when ''77' is taken the in

HAVE HAD THEIR DAY.
Old Fashioned Medicines for catarrh No
Longer In Vogue.


For many years past the usual treat
ment for catarrh diseases was with local
doucheS, sprays, inhalerS and liquid med
fcines composed principally of alcohol,
all of which never cured but simply give
the temporary relief and stimulation.
A thorough cure can be made only by
the treatment which removes the catarrh-
al poisons from the blood.
quirements and which so far has been
remarkably successful in curing catarrh
is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
These tablets act upon the blood and
mucous membrane only.
They can hardly be classed as a secret
patent medicine as they are composed
of such valuable remedies as blood root,
Hydrastin, red gum of Eucalyptus tree
and similar antiseptics combined in tablet
form, which cure by eliminating from the
blood and mucous membrane the poi
sons of catarrh.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large,
pleasant tasting lozenges to be taken in
ternally. allowing them to dissolve in
the mouth d thus i reaching the throat
If desired they may also be dissolved
in water and used as douche, in addi-
ton to the internal use, but it is not at all
necessary to use douche; few of them
dissolved in the mouth daily will be suffi-
cient. However, when there is much
stoppage of the nose douche made from
but the regular daily use internally will
cure the whole catarrhal trouble without
resorting to the inconvenience of a
DR.. Bennett stated that the internal
treatment of catarrh by means of pleas

the place of douches and local applica-
tionS," and further says that probably
the best and certainly the safest remedy
at present on the market is the Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets, as no secret Is made
of their composition and all the really
efficient catarrh remedies are concen-
