REPORT.
Work Done Up to Date by Arid Land
Reclamation Society.

Washington, Aug. 22.-The first an
nual report of the arid land reclama-
ton society of the geological survey,
made by F. H. Newell, who is in
scharge of it. has been completed and
soon will be made public. 1t gives de-
tailed information of the work done
TO date for the establishment of sys-
tens of irrigation under the direction
of the national government. 1t ap-
pears that the work has been carried
on in different localities in the var
ious states and territories as follows:
On the Salt and ella rivers in Ari-
zon; on the Colorado river in Cali
fornia: on the North Platte. Gunnison
and Grand rivers in Colorado; in the
Snake river in Idaho; on the deep
well problems of western Kansas; on
the Milk river in Montana; on the
artesian well probabilities of western
Nebraska; on the Carson and Truck
ee rivers in Nevada; on the artesian
probabilities of central Oregon; on
the Bear river in Utah; on the va
kima river in Washington; around
Lac Desmet and also on the Sweet
water river in Wyoming.
At each of the places where sys.
tematic work has been conducted pre-.
liminary temporary Withdrawals of
public lands have been made. but the
areas which may be reclaimed are in.
Dictated only in a general way by
these temporary segregations. Com.
menting on the effect of these with.
drawals. the report says:
The impossibility of stating in adj
vance what lands will be ultimately
recommended for reclamation will re-
suit in great disappointment to many
persons. The fact that the lands
have been temporarily set aside is, in
the eyes of many, an idication that
these lands will be reclaimed; and
although every attempt has been
made to warn individuals of the fulfil
ity of filing upon these lands under
the homestead law they persist in TAX
ing up land on the bare possibility
that surveys and examinations will
ultimately show II to be reclaimable
II is an unfortunate condition which
cannot be corrected at present.

SIMPLY BREATH 1T.
Few 7inutes Use of fHyomei Four Times Da,
Cures Cntarrh.

Cures Catarrh.
The pleasantest, most convenient and
the only scientific method for the treat
ment and cure of catarrh is Hvomei.
Simply put twenty drops of Hyom"i in
the inhaler that comes with every package
and breath it for few minutes four times
a day.
1t seems remarkable that so simple a
way Of treating catarrh will effect cure,
but the most important discoveries Of
science have always been the simplest
BY breathing Hyomei in this way every
particle of air that enters the air passages
of the throat and head and goes into the
lunge is charged with healing balsam
that kills the germs and bacill of catarrh
and soothes and allays all irritation.
The fir,t days use of Hyomei will
show a decided improvement and in =
short time there will b., no further trouble
from catarrh. Its action is rapid and
lasting
You take no risk in buying Hyomei
A complcts outfit costs but s1.00, and if
after using you can say that it has not
helped you L. TaCgurt will return your
money. What other treatment for cat
arrh is sold under guarantee like this'
