Pretty Safe Rule to Go By.

When there is a feeling that the heart
or lungs, blood or liver, brain or nerves
are diseased, at once commence to doctor
the stomach That is the foundation of
the trouble in 90 cases out of every 100.
Commence to regulate the digestive or
gans, get them in healthy working con-
dition, and the other troubles will leave
of themselves. Diseases which have
their beginning in the stomach must be
cured through the stomach. The medi-
cine for stomach disorders and half the
ills of life, is Dr. Gums Improved Liver
Pills. These pills put all the digestive
organs in good condition so that disease
has no basis to work upon. They are

IRRIGATED AREA IN WASH
lNGT0N ON The INCREASE
A Report of the Investigation Being
Prepared for Publication In the
Fall by the Department.

The census Office has announced, after
a careful investigation conducted in the
summer of 1902, that there has been
considerable increase since 1899 in the
irrigated area of eastern Washington,
and in the number of irrigators. A full
report on Investigations conducted by
Clarence j. Blanchard and Harry l..
Holgate, is now in process of prepare
ton. and will be issued late in the fall.
This report will show number of in
teresting and important facts bearing
on the development of irrigation in the
eastern part OF Washington.
In 1899 the number of irrigators in
Washington was 3,5l5, and the number
of acres irrigated l35,47O. The figures
for 1902 are, respectively, 4,5S5 and
l54,962. The cost of irrigation systems
was, in 1899, Sl,679,3l9, and in 1902,
$2,33O,75S. The total length of main
bitches operated in 1902 was 1905 miles.
The Columbia river, including Clarks
fork, heads in the Rocky mountains
west of Helena, Montana. 1t crosses the
northern part of Idaho and flows north
westward across the northeastern corner
of Washington until it reaches the inter-
national boundary; there it makes an
abrupt bend and flows in general
southerly direction until it turns east a
few miles below the mouth of Snake
river and forms the boundary between
the states of Oregon and Washington.
Next to the Colorado, the Columbia is
the largest river in the arid region of
the United States, its drainage basin in
GLIDING parts of Oregon, Washington,
Idaho, Montana, and large area in
Canada. The entire drainage area of the
Columbia river is 2l6.537 square miles,
about onehalf of which belongs to the
Columbia river proper and onehalf to
its main branch, Snake river.

by the Columbia river is arid and semi

cessful farming The valleys comprise
some of the most productive farming
lands in the United States, having a
deep soil of apparently alluvial deposits
mixed with volcanic ash, with an under
lying bed of clay. The soil of the up
lands is less fertile, but produces, with
sufficient moisture, heavy wheat crops.
Most of the territory in Washington
drained by the Columbia river and its
tributaries below the mouth of the
Snake river produces crops without irri-

In 1902 the number of irrigators was
3S7; the number of acres irrigated,
S,252; the number of irrigation systems
in operation, 1856; the cost of construc-
ton of the operated systems, $45,993, or
an average cost of 1857 per acre irrigat-
ed; and the total length of main bitches,
90 miles. Irrigation was chiefly from
the Walla Walla river and it's tributa-
ries.
Snake river enters Washington near
Lewiston, Idaho, and joins the Columbia
near Pasco. In 1902 Oh farms of Wash
ington, with an irrigated area of 4,96S
acres, were watered from this river. its
tributaries, and the springs and wells,
in the drainage basin. There were oper-
ated II irrigation systems representing
an initial expenditure of $lO9,S53, or an
average first cost of $22.ll per acre.
There were IS miles of main ditch. Most
of the irrigated land lies in Asotin coun-
ty. From Asotin creek and it's tribu-
taries, $40 farmers irrigated 1928 acres
from six irrigation systems costing $94,-
100. The total length of main bitches
was 26 miles.
Nearly four-fifths of the irrigated
acreage of Washington and nearly one.
half of the irrigated farms are found
in the Yakima valley. The Yakima river
has its source in Keechelus lake, OH the
eastern slope of the Cascade mountains
in Kittitas county, Washington, and
flows through Kittitas and Yakima
counties, joining the Columbia river near
Kiona.
There has been since 1899 important
development of irrigation systems in
the Yakima valley. Two large canals
have been constructed and the older sys.
tens have been extended. Some of these
systems had difficulty in securing water
in 1902, and unless storage reservoirs
are constructed in the mountains it is
not probable that there will be any fur.

river. The total number of farms irri-
gated in 1902 from the Yakima river and
its tributaries and from springs and
wells in the Yakima valley, was 2.5O5.
and the area irrigated l2l,705 acres.
There were operated 255 irrigation sys-
tens. which cost 81 .96S.555, or a cost of
$l6.l7 per acre irrigated The total
length of main bitches was 6lS miles.

Irrigation between the mouth of the

near Little Rock Landing. Telegraph COM
munication to st. Genevieve is interrupted,
but Commander Vreeland, of the Arkansas,

this indicates that it will be some time be-
fore the Arkansas will be released.

said: 'The United States monitor Arkansas
has been compelled to stop on the journey
anchored pending information regarding
the channel between St. Genevieve and
Cairo. Captain Vreeland has been told that
several places in the channel have only
nine feet of water. He has telegraphed for
government dredge boat to come from

ATLANTA, Ga, May Mrs. Julia
Workman, matron of the Indiana Reform
School, who is a delegate TO the conven-
tion of Charities and Correction, has just
performed the feat of bringing a prisoner
from Indianapolis to Atlanta. This latter
individual is Robert Loefier, twelve years
of age, who recently ran away from his
home in Mobile. Ala. After leaving home
the boy beat his way to Cincinnati and
thence to Indianapolis. where he fell into
the hands of the authorities and remained
in jail twenty-seven days.
Mrs. Workman became acquainted with
the case and she decided to bring the boy
as far as Atlanta and to make arrange
ments to have him sent on to his home.
Accordingly, she wired his parents and
the authorities of Mobile and asked that
an officer meet her in Atlanta. She left
Indianapolis with young Loefier in her
custody and brought him TO Atlanta,
despite repeated efforts on the boys part to
escape. The little fellow was so averse to
returning South that Mrs. Workman finally
secured a rope and tied it about his waist,
keeping one end in her hand so to make
sure that he would not give her the slip.
