JOKE ON SWEET CHARITY.



~ Enjoyed t.
The other day colored porter from
one of the hotels was sent to buy some
tin cups After making the purchase
he started back to the hotel and met
one Of the hostlery's best patrons-a
commercial traveier--and the latter
asked the negro to carry his sample
case to Washington street store.
A few minutes later the negro, sam
pie case, and tin cups, were in front
of the store, The travelling man was
in the store. While waiting for him,
the negro sat down on the sample
case, and in less than iiffy fell asleep.
One Of the tin cups was in his hand,
and It fell forward, as does the cup
held by a blind man.
Perhaps you won't believe It, but
that negro collected 43 cents while he
slumbered. Passersby thought him a
blind mendieant. And maybe that por-
ter didn't enjoy the jokel He did

DOCTOR ADVOCATED OPERATION
PE-RU-NA MADE KNIFE UNNECESSARY.

NATARRH is very frequent cause of
- that class Of diseases known as
female weakness.
Catarrh of the pelvic organs produces
such variety of disagreeable and irritat-
ing symptoms that many people--in fact,
the majority OF people-have no idea that
they are caused by catarrh.
If all the women who are suffering with
any form of female weakness would write
to Dr. Hartman Columbus. Ohio, and give
him complete description of their symp-
toms and the peculiarities of their troubles,
he will Immediately reply with complete
directions for treatment, free Of charge.

Everywhere the women are using Peruna

simply it cures by removing the cause of
female disease.
DR.. Hartman has probably cured more
women of female ailments than any other

in any event, within each ten year pc
riod after the passage Of this Act. the
expenditures for the benefit of States
and Territories shall be equaled ac-
cording to the proportions and subject
to the conditions as to practicability
and feasibility aforesaid.
RULES AND REGULATIONS.
The Secretary Of the Interior is
authorized to perform any and all acts
and to make such rules and regula-
tions as may be necessary and proper
for the purpose"
EXTENT OF LAND.
This canal will irrigate something
over two hundred and forty thousand
acres Of land in this district. but as yet
the limit of irrigable lands has not been
fixed and It is not known to GER
tainty what will be included and what
will be out OF reach Of this system.
SIZE OF HOMESTEAD.
These lands can be entered under
the Homestead Act only. subject to
certain restrictions as to payment of
cost OF water to be used in reclama-
ton, size Of entry. etc. 1t has been
ruled under the wording Of the law that
homestead entrymen can make filing
upon 100 acres, but that later this
amount can be cut down to 30 or more
acres, according to the discretion of
the Secretary.
ENTRIES SUBJECT TO PROVISIONS.
No assurance can be given as yet
that the land taken up now can be
given water for irrigating purposes nor
will the u. S. G. S. be able to furnish
such assurance until the lateral canals
have been surveyed and located and
classified. The surveys and examina-
tons have not yet progressed to
point where 1t is possible to ascertain
the actual lands to be irrigated or the
size Of the homesteads. When this Is
known the fact will be made public and
entry will be invited. Pending the de-
termination of these facts, homestead
entrymen can make entries subject to
the provisions of the laws and to the
changes which the SECRETARY may
make OF later date. That is to say,
a man may enter upon 100 acres, but
when the plans are finally made this
may be reduced to 30 acres. Before
title can be secured. he must, OF
course, pay for the water and comply
with other requirements yet to be
stated. Whether homestead entry
men can ultimately obtain title or not
cannot be decided until further pro-
gress is made.
RECENT ORDER EIGHTY ACRES.
There is a recent order of the Sec
retary Of the Interior that all lands
commanded by the proposed irriga-
ton canal shall be classified and sub
divided into farms or homestead tracts,
each tract to contain as near as may
be eighty acres of good, irrigatable
lands. This work has just been COM
menced and will be completed some
time this coming winter. After this
work is done the Sectary will announce
the lands open for entry, naming the
limit Of entry, the price to be paid for
water and the conditions which must
be complied with in order to secure I'll

SIZE AND CAPACITY OF CANAL.
The canal is now under construc-
ton and will be thirty-two miles long
fIfty-three feet wide at the top, twen-
ty- one feet wide at the bottom and
fourteen feet deep. 1t will be capable
Of carrying volume of l.4oo cubic

work is fourteen months.
QUALITY OF SOIL.
Every quality Of soil comes under
! the canal from the richest of the river
bottoms and just enough clay to be
the right constituency, and It will pro-
duce the grain and vegetables and hay
and hardy fruits that have taken blue
ribbons and gold medals at all our ma
tional expositions. All the soil re-
quires is the water the canal will fur
nish. There are no crop failures un-

this soil is the detrtus Of volcanic rocks,

worth is Olinghouse, a steady dividend
paying gold camp. Churchill is rich

CLIMATE.
The climate Is the most healthful
and delightful in the world Rainfall
and snowfall are both slight in the val
