TO BE EXPENDED IN MILK RIVER
VALLEY.
WORK TO START IN MAY
Exact Line Of Canal MOI Yet Estab-
Ijshed-Dam Will Be
Built First.

Great Falls Tribune: In Thursday
mornings Tribune, the statement was
made that the first work in Montana
under the national irrigation law
would be the construction of a dam at
st. Mary's lake, designed to provide
a great supply of water for the coun-
try along Milk river, and possibly also
along the Marias. That information
was brought to the people of northern
Montana by Senator Gibson upon his
return from the national capital, and
full confirmation of it was received
yesterday in a dispatch from Wash
ington.
What are, the prospects for the st.
Mary's canal?" was the Tribune's
query of Senator Gibson, and he re.
piled:
"That work. is to be pushed right
along. For a time was a little afraid
of it being delayed for other projects,
but l have no fear of that now. Work
on the dam at the lake will almost
certainly be started this summer. The
exact line of the canal is not yet fully
determined. OF course it is desired to
RUN lines in every possible way be-
fore a definite location of the canal is
made, and necessarily there will have
to be more surveying done before the
best line can be determined conclu-
sively. The department, naturally, is
anxious that no mistake, w in de-
tail, should be made, and our interests
lie in the same way. In the first ma
tional irrigation enterprise the west
would be seriously harmed if any mis-
take would lessen the success of the
undertaking."
The dispatch received from Wash
irgton yesterday is as follows: 4,
Engineer Babb of the geological sur
vey, with a large force of men, will
begin work on the st. Mary's irriga-
ton project in May, or possibly earli-
er. The secretary of the interior has
made the necessary allotment for
western irrigation projects to do the
necessary work this year.
There is a vast amount Of prelimi-
nary work to be done in completing
the surveys and awarding the con-
tracts.
The work probably will be begun on
st. Mary's dam and upon. various por-
tions of the canal.
The project as planned calls for a
dam at st. Mary's, and a canal to the
north fork of the Milk river, with
canals for Milk river. 1t will call for
an expenditure of $4,000. 900.

BIG SHIPS IN COLLISION.
City Of Seattle Runs Into British Bark
Bankleigh.

- H
Vancouver, B. c., March 17.-While
both vessels were enveloped in a
dense fog the Pacific Coast Steam
ship company's steamer City Of Seat
tie ran down the British bark Bank
leigh this morning and caused dam
age which is variously estimated at
between $4,000 and $4O,O 600, with the
possibility that a thorough surve of
the B%ankleigh may reveal more seri-
GUS injuries than at present looked
for.
Subsequently the City of Seattle was
libeled for $685. 600. Bonds were Civ
en and the steamer left for Skagway
this evening. The Bankleigh was
moored beside a wharf at the time
the City of Seattle ran into her, and
damaged her port side, twisting her
steel plates and jamming her star
board side in. The damage to the
wharf is estimated at $4,000. The
wharf was knocked Is feet out of
place. The City of Seattle was strain
ed forward.

TIE DEAF MAY NOW HEAR.
Wonderful Invention of an Alabama
Man.

Wonderful Invention of an Alabama
Man.
New York, March 16.-By means
OF an invention of Miller Reese Hutch
inson, a young Alabaman, who was
recently decorated by Queen Alexan-
dra for his efforts in behalf of the
deaf, three children, deaf, dumb and
blind, have been enabled to hear a
pianist play Sousa marches, a phono-
graphic reproduction of the sounds
and the sounds of their own voices
~utteling the words, Mamma" Papa"
and 'Hello!' in %quavering childish
| treble.
The experiments we're made at the
laboratory of Mr.. Hutchinson, and
were witnessed by many persons. The
invention consists primarily OF a trans
mister, IN earpiece and a small cleo
trio battery. By means of these in
etluments sound is projected into the
ear in a manner to stimulate the audi
tory nerve. The volume Of sound has
nothing to do with the action of these
instruments. Y
The penetrating quality Of the cleo
trio sound wave apparently disregards
the mechanism of the outer a and
affects the inner ear direct.
The first patient brought out to
try the effects of the invention was
Girls Benson, who is blind, deaf and
dumb. A physician tried to make
him hear in various ways, but all his
efforts were in vain. The little in
strument was then clapped on the
lads ear, the current switched on
and Mr.. Hutchinson said in ordinary
tones. "papa." The youth worked his
fingers rap.aly in the sign language.
HE says he can hear something,
but does not know what it u.s." said
Prof. Van Tassell, who was in charge
of the children. The current was
made stronger. The youths eyeballs
We're raised and he smiled. Then he
tried to repeat the syllable, and in
c weird treble cried shrilly, Papa"
Noticing that the patient was becom-
ing quite excited over his novel *
%perience, Mr.. Hutchinson suggested
that one of the girls be brought into
the reception, room.
She could not hear a sound, no mat
ter how loud, but when she had the
%earpiece of the instrument fastened
to her head and the pianist at the
end of the room began to play Il
Sousa march her cheeks flushed and
her fingers beat time on a table.
Another girl, born blind, deaf and
dumb, clapped her hands in ecstacy
when she heard her own voice cry
Mamma and reached out wistfully
ic the piano when the piano stopped
playing and the new harmony died
out of her ear, but fingered wildly
! in her memory.

object in view a large force Of clerks
have just been sent into the field.'
One Of the most important branches
of the inquiry, the outcome Of which
is eagerly awaited, is that having
for its object the ascertainment of the
payments made by street railway COR
porations in return for the franchises
granted by the various municipalities
OF the country. It is believed that
the information now being gathered
will show that a great majority Of
such corporations pay nothing what
eve for the valuable rights which
have been granted to them from time
to time. And it is because some Of
them pay either a specified annual
rental for the use of the streets or
a percentage upon their gross receipts
that the larger cities in which fran
chises are expiring are anxious to
know what other cities secure, and
this is exactly what the census Office
will find out.
Commissioner Who Is Qualified.
One of the best posted men on inter
oceanic canals of all the democrats
who have been suggested to the pres
ident for appointment upon the 18TH
milan canal Commission is William A.
Harris of Kansas, who closed his
term in the senate from the Sunfower
state on March 3, 1908. 1t is probably
a matter not generally known, but
ex-senator Harris may be said to have
inherited a knowledge Of isthmian
canal questions. His father away
back in the sos was interested in
the Atlantic and Pacific Ship Canal
company, which company caused to
be made the first reliable and scien-
tific survey of the Nicaragua canal
route. Subsequently young Harris was
connected as a civil engineer with
surveys Of this and other routes. He
has ever since taken a keen interest
in all canal questions which have
1855 IAOAA WCoAy Wdy dAOAl6
through diplomatic and legislative
channels tLling IN ;sst thirty years.
He has followed, step by step, every
development made in canal matters.
Since the beginning of his term in
the United States senate six years
ago Senator Harris has been second
to Senator Morgan of Alabama on
the int%er-oceanic canal committee and
has taken al active part in all canal
matters in and out of committee dur
ing these years. There is, next to
Senator Morgan, probably no man bet
ter posted on the canal situation in
all it's phases alive today than ex-
Senator Harris. He has been con-
stantly in touch with the diplomatic
and engineering conditions of the en-
tire complex canal subject. Ex-Sena-
tor Harris, it may be said in passing,
has been strongly endorsed to the
president for a place on the canal
commission.

Hit by Hurricane.

Halifax, N. S., March 16.--The Brit
ish ship Unalonda arrived from Liver
pool today. The steamer was in a
hurricane for 10 days, during nine of
which she covered only 800 miles. She
was driven back one day .6S miles and
another day "a miles. Mountainous
sea- swept her deck from stem to
stern, smashing boats, bridges and
steering gear. The carpenter was
crushed to death in the afterhouse,
and the coxswain had his arm brok-
en-. Several of the crew also were
badly hurt. Constant use of oil kept
the steamer from being engulfed by
the seas.

.YEsTERpAY,s STOCK MARKET

New York, July 15. There was renewal of general weakness in the market this morning, which was interrupted at times by feyerish but poorly maintained rallies. Trad ing was not particularly active and there were rumors that some large holders of stock are in trouble, particularly some Ca recent borrowing of the Lake Shore and Chicago, Burlington and Quincy at high rates of interest does not speak well for the future of the money market, but the contin- ued decline is simply the result of the iqui. dation. It is' quite true that we are at a point where a rally could easily be made. It is understood that Pennsylvania will be paying off loans at very heavy rate soon, and there are still strong rumors of an in CT ease in Copper dividend. While the situ- ation looks badly, there is much uncertainty concerning the immediate market outlook, regarding which the street has rarely held so many conflicting opinions.

Wall Street Poet.

The grind for money and fame noWa- days works the brain so hard that it takes away the power from the stomach and so Financiers, Lawyers, Doctors, Merchants, Great Actors, School Teach CTS and even thinking and successful Farmers suffer from lack of power to digest food.
 Fact! Fact! Fact! and deplorable fact.
 But there's a way out of it. An old thoughtful money maker was an invalid for about years. During this time and four years after, he studied Foods, Hy- giene, Dietetics, Medicine and Suggest i've Therapeutics. He got well and dur ing the F years of experience and study developed a way for brain workers to keep we'll He has been over the hard and rough roadway step by step. Does his experience count for anything? Can he point you to the rocks that ruin men? ? Can he guide you to safe and healthful channels?
 Since he got well he has made 10 or 12 million dollars which is one evidence of the practical results and literally thousands of brain workers in America and England date their recovery to . health and money making power from the day they began to follow his advice.
 What is it? t@~*
 First quit coffee absolutely. It slowly and surely exhausts the elements in brain and nerve centers that must be there or brain flag follows. Tn order to do this take up Postum Coffee for it supplies the phosphates and other ele- ments needed to naturally, by food in liquid form, rebuild the broken down gray matter in brain and nerve centres.
 This same is true of Grape-Nuts breakfast food.
 . Set up your breakfast like this:
 A little fruit, cooked preferred. A dish of Grape-Nuts (not large one) with some thick, rich cream Gnsist on it) cup of hot Postum Coffee with thick cream, one or two soft eggs. Mo- thing more unless it be slice of entire wheat bread. The same for luncheon, then for the night dinner have a good generous portion of meat, one or two vegetables, Grape-Nuts pudding and a cup of Postum Coffee and insist on the thick cream.
 You will digest these meals, sleep like a baby and find the next day that some- thing has been going on in your body that gives you the delicious sense of power and health and you can in a masterful way do things" and get re- suits.
 Is it worth while? The masters of mankind are first masters of them- selves and put into practice the know ledge of trained experts in the art of body and brain building.
 You can rule if you will. You must have healthy body and brain to do 1t. There's reason" and it's just good old common sense.

BUSINESS AND RELIGION.
Salvation Army Controls Waste Paper
Business in Kansas City.

Kansas City Star: The waste paper
business Of the Hey Rag and Metal COM
pany at Eirs. street and Hannibal bridge
was sold yesterday afternoon to the Sal
walton army Industrial Homes mpa
BY the transfer Of that portion Of the
business OF the Hey company, the Saliva
ton army secures control of the waste
paper business n Kansas City. Posses
sion viii be given next Tuesday. The Sal
walton ArEiy Row ELL be able 10 offer
employment to about I00 men.
The Salvation Army Industrial Homes
company was organized about three
weeks ago to handle the waste paper In
the c!eies Of the United States. OF the
total stock offered for sale, 5000 was set
aside to be sold IN Kansas City, with the
understanding that the money raised here
from the sale OF stock would be used as
far as possible in building up the local
business. SO far aboue half the amount
Of stock offered for sale here has been
taken. The balance required to purchase
the business from the Hey npa was
furnished by Commander Eooth-Tucker.
Active steps viii be taken ct once to in
cTea2e the business. BY the terms of the
transfer the Salvation army VIII obtain
possession Of all Of the warehouses,
leans, wagons and balcTs owned by the
Fey company. The business VIII be car
ried on at the old stand. The army will
also retain its warehouse at 2g2O Grand
avenue.
The waste paper business Of the Saliva
ton army was started in a modest way a
little more than a year ago. The bust
ness first started through the contribu-
ton OF old magazines to be distributed
wherever they Were needed. Finally 50
many magazines were offered that the
arrny had more h were needed and ar
rangerncuts were made for the sale of
them for a few dollars a week.
The gathering Of waste paper also was
deemed advisable by the officers In
charge, and one horse and a rickety old
wagon were purchased for that purpose.
a warehouse was first established at
1850 Grand avenue, but the business in
creased TO u an extent that more room
was needed, and June !, 1903, the building
at 2o20 Grand avenue was leased. More
wagons we're put out, and the busin esq
continued to grow until the army was un-
able to handle it on a limited amount OF
capital. For that reason it was decided
to incorporate. From such a small begin
ming the business has grown and begin
ming next Tuesday the Salvation army
viii have ten wagons running in Kansas
City and will be prepared TO handle about
seven carloads OF waste paper a week.
