State from one source
There Is probably no place IN
the State where a certain sum OF
money would go so far towards
obtaining the desired results in
the way of irrigation as in Ma
SON Valley. There are natural
reservoirs at the head of our
streams and the cost OF canal
building would be insignificant
compared TO that on some Of
the other proposed routes.
Ne believe that this irrigation
work should be done where the
most good VIII result 70 the
greatest number OF people IN the
shortest length of time, and
after the Churchill county canal
should come the Walker River

canal from the Truckee River
into the lower Humboldt Valley,
a distance of some eighty miles.
for the purpose Of retaining the
arid lands in that section. 1t i
also stated that twenty miles OF
this proposed canal would be
through solid rock. This might
be a great engineering feat. and
might also prove 8 paving prop
osition. but it would be a very
expensive undertaking. and We
believe there are other places IN
the State where greater results
could be obtained for a tenth
part of the money it would cost
to build such a canal. Just why
it is contemplated TO do all the
government canal construction
in this State In one section Is not
understood. unless II be that
the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company is the one that Is to
he first benefited BIZ the irriga-
ton movement. The railroad
company owns a great deal of
land along the route Of the new
canal being built through Chur-I
chill county, and also owns much
more in the Humboldt Valley
1t is but natural that this COM
pany should strive 10 have its
lands the first improved by the
government so that they can be
sold 10 settlers. The company
would not only derive benefit
from the sale Of its lands but
would do considerable business
By hauling home-scekers over its
lines.
II strikes US, however, that the
investment of all the money to
be obtained through the govern
ment, in one section. IS not as
good policy as could be adopt
ed. The punching Of the work
would be likely 70 give the i'm
preston TO outsiders that there
are no other MYERS than the
Truckce and no other lands than
those tributary TO its waters
where irrigation systems can be
formed, while the fact is there
are many sections where storage
could be accomplished at a much
less expense. and where a great
,er amount of good would be de-
rived in much shorter time.
Take, for instance, the Walker
River and the Mason Valley
country. This section is partial
Nv settled now, and the storage
of water here would be a great
boon to those who are strug.
CLING to hang onto their homes,
while in some other proposed
district settlers are scarce and
the country is all new and much
work would be required to put
the land i'll shape There are in
this valley about 10000 acres of
land which can be put under cul-
tivation by a correct and COM
paratively inexpensive system of
water storage and canals, while
less than a fourth of that
amount of land is under cultiva-
ton. 1t is fact that but little
government or State land re-
mains untaken in this valley,
but it would seem that the new
irrigation law should work just
as well IN this case as it will

Boa 272. Independence, Mo.
When old age comes OF catarrhal dis
eases come also. Systemic catarrh is al
most universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become SO
indispensable to old people. Peruna is
their safeguard. Peruna is the only rem
edy yet devised that meets these cases ex-
actly.
Such cases canIot be treated locally;
nothing but an effective, systemic remedy
could cure them. This is exactly what Pc
runa is.
If you do not derive prompt and satisfac-
tory results from the use of Peruna, write

NEGROES GROW RICH FAST.
Many of Those Living in the Creek Ma
ton Are We1l-to-Do.

Many of Those Living in the Creek Ma
ton Are We1l-to- Do.
1t Is not in the South that the rich
est negroes are found, although many
in that region have amassed a goodly
store of property since the war. Doubt
less the wealthiest community OF col
pred people in the world is found
among the Greek Indians in Indian
Territory. There are about 1000 of
them. and they are worth on an aver
age $4,000 each. The wealth of the
more industrious foots up ever higher,
certain individuals being the owners
of from $4,000 to SIS, 200 worth of
land each.
These negroes are the descendants
Of slaves of the Creek tribe of Indians
and are known as Greek negroes. They
are entitled to a share in the division
Of Greek Indian lands, also a part OF
the trust funds. Together the 1000 ne
groes own 1900, 900 acres of land.
And vet their education is far from
complete. Their social environments
are crude in the extreme and progress
goes slowly amid their huts and fields.
Unlike the other Indians of the rich
five civilized tribes, the Creeks insist.
ed upon freeing their slaves to give
them an equal share in their lands and
money. AT that time there were few
slaves. but the number grew through
descendants, until now fully 1000 have
laid successful claim to a head right
on the Creek rolls of citizenship. They
have their W representatives in the
Creek Indian Legislature. their own
schools and their own churches. Ev-
erything bids fair to make them the
model community of negroes In the
United States when Indian territory is
recovering from the tangle wilderness
of reconstruction, its laws made uni
form and itself a State of the Union.
There is little culture among the
Creek negroes. They have a social
set all their own, to which not ever
the Indians are invited. Their charac
teristics are in a great measure differ
ent from the negro of the South or the
North. 1t is a mixture of both, with
additional peculiarities.
Like the Indians, these negroes have
their dances In the open, which have
come to be a sort of religion with
them. And. following In the footsteps
IF the Southern Negro, they have bar
becues. 'possum hunts and the like. As

and save their money, and, like the
type from the city, are well dressed
gashdily, but at the same time wear
expensive clothes.
hese~7 900 Creek negroes live in a
of rich land called the Canadian
Fra bottoms, and Okmulgee is their
n and trading point Okmulgee is
capital of the Creek Indian nation,
naS been for years a negro town.
r3N1y, noWever, WHITE people nock-
ed and have taken possession. The
negroes are starting their own towns
along the branch of the Frisco Rail
road.
Notwithstanding that many of these
Creek negroes are Industrious. there
are some among them who rent out
their estates and lounge In idleness
about the railway stations. 1t Is a
common sight to see a 500-acre tract
of rich land in the Canadian bottoms
being titled by a white man. Invaria-
bly,, upon inquiry as to his landlord,
he. will refer to the negro owner. in no
complimentary terms. Meanwhile one
will find the owner shooting craps or
enjoying himself eating turkey and
'possum in a neighboring village.
When the Creeks freed their negroes
in 1854 the two fraternized for a time,
and even intermarried. but that has
all passed now. In accordance with
the terms granting their freedom, the
Creek negroes are allowed a voice in
the tribal government. and so they
have their own members in the Coun-
ell, have their own schools and all
that; but the Creek Indian feels above
the Greek negro and refuses to asso-
ciate with him.

Do our business men get more out OF
life han their forefathers got out of 1t
a hundred years ago? In certain direc-
lions it is quite evident that they do.
There are more ways of having fun,
there are more things to do, it is far
easier to go about. And yet 1t seems
to be true, also, that people have less

5the individual of to-day is fifty times
as able to supply his material wants as
was the individual of one hundred
years ago. That is to say, the produc-

fifty fold. 1t would seem reasonable
to suppose that under these conditions
a man to-day would have far more leis-
ure than ever mar had before. But
the truth is the mar of to-day is Tread

his terrible social and business respon-
sibilities. He rushes off from a hasty
breakfast to board an express train, to
be whirled TO his telephone and type
writer and other devices for saving
time. Everybody, nowadays, is out of
p%oliteness supposed to be over head
and ears busy-busy in trade, busy in
his profession, busy socially. We are
continually hearing people say, II have
no time for anything 1t is the fash
ion to be overwhelmed with engage
ments and pressed for time. If there
is a death in the family, the clergyman
is hurriedly summoned by telephone to
perform the funeral services. Personal
letters are dashed off on a typewriter,
because this suggests rushing employ
ment; and the result Is that the grow
ing generation of young men does not
know how to write a letter with the
proper forms of s%alutation and super
scription. Now the moral of this tale
is that while a moderate degree of
