ATHENA, SEPTEMBER 4, 1908

There is one scheme to come before
the irrigation congress, which meets at
Ogden on September Is, that should be
defeated, thinks the East Oregonian.
This is scheme to have the govern
ment provide an appropriation of several
million OF dollars to add to the accu.
mulated national irrigation fund, for
the purpose Of carrying on more ex-
tensive irrigation plans in the West.
This Ss a plan to enrich a few contrac-
tors and favor few localities, and it
would breed extravaganza and misuse
of the fund. II the legitimate funds
now accumulated are used to reclaim
the arid land of the west in a practical
manner, it is sufficient for all present
purposes. The land that is reclaimed
must pay back to the government the
cost of reclamation, and the extra bur-
den of an appropriation should not be
added to the cost. just let the west re-
claim itself. That is all she asks. This
scheme to borrow money and load the
burden on the arid districts is not the
work Of true irrigationists, it would
seem, but Of spectators, who expect to
be benefited by the construction Of
sovsrnment works. As the idle lands
are sold let the proceeds be applied to
reclamation, thus keeping perpetual
fund on hand The law as now framed
is very good. No immense apprepria-
ton is need to hamper the work Of ir-
rigation. II will only add to the cost Of
the irrigated land, and make the settler
pay back the money which the contrac-
tors received.

The Best Remedy for Group.

From the Atchisor. Kan. Daily Globe.
This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for Group
is in demand in every neighborhood.
One of the most terrible things in the
world is to be awakened in the middle of
the night by a whoop from one of the
children. The Group remedies are al
most as sure to be lost, in case of Group,
as revolver is sure to be lost in case of
burglars. There used to be an old
fashioned remedy for Group, known as
hive syrup and tolu, but some modern
mothers say that Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is better, and does not cost so
much. II causes the patient to throw
up the phlegm" quicker, and gives re-
lief in shorter time. Give this remedy
as soon as the croupy cough appears and
it will prevent the attack. 1t never fails
and is safe and pleasant to take. For
sale by all druggists.
