range. The Helena river crosses this range through a deep valley. A dam 100 feet high has been built across the river and the reservoir thus formed is seven miles in length and will hold 4. .000, ,000, 900 gallons. It is necessary to lift the water 270O feet to the top of the mountains in order to give it suffi- cient headway to reach the gold camps out in the desert. The distance to Kal- goorlie. the furthest camp to be sup piled, is BPS miles. The water is to be raised to the mountain top by means of eight pumping stations. the machinery for which has been purchased at a cost of $1, 800. .0O0
 At the summit of the mountains the pipe line begins. It is thirty inches in surface along the railroad track. except that in crossing various salt lakes on the route it is supported on piers. It Is hoped to deliver from the reservoir to the mining camps 5,OOO,OOO gallons of fresh water daily. Even with this amount of water it is not expected that the mining population will have a drop to waste. They will have to pay a good price for 1t. The charge to the miners. for example. will be $l.50 to $l.75 per thousand gallons at wholesale rates
 It is not expected that the project will become selt-supporting for some time The plant is to be owned by the state and the deficit must be paid out of the general taxes. Even if the 5O,000 per sons to be supplied should require the works to be run at their fullest capacity the pipe line would hardly meet ex- penses.
 It is believed. however, that an in- creased production of the gold will be made possible by a good supply of wa ter and that the entire state will thus be benefited, for more miners will be required in the field. and practically all their supplies, except machinery, come from the farmers and merchants of Western Australia.

Settling ''Water Problem" In Aus.
 tralia.

Arizona is not alone in vast under takings to increase the water supply. In Australia. great reservoir ranking in importance with the reservoir of the Tonto is to be constructed for the pur- pose of furnishing water to gold fields BPS miles away. The enterprise is 50 unique as to make some details con- corning it very interesting indeed.
 Western Australia is now one of the largest gold producers in the world. Twenty years ago the great desert east of the fringe of fertile grain lands and timber along the sea was not supposed to be worth a cent square mile. The desert was Tsholly unknown, except that a few explorers had made their toilsome way over the immense ex- panse of sand; a few others less for tunate had perished in these forbidding wastes
 Then 1t was found that this Sahara was really to be the treasure house of the colony. The precious metal dug out of these sands. has made the gold product of Western Australia equal to that of all the other states in the com monwealth. Gold has helped this divis- lustiest members of the British colonial empire.
 Around the great mining center In the desert 5O,000 people are living. It's natural to ask how they get water to supply their needs. The fact is, water is an extremely scarce commodity there. It probably does not bring so high a price In any other part of the world. Salt water is obtained without much difficulty by digging, but the cost of condensing 1t to procure fresh water is 90 costly that every pint must be carefully used. There is an occasional shower, and every house and tent in the mining district is supplied with tanks to catch the rain water; but 1t is an unreliable source of supply. The re- suit is that every drop of water must be husbanded.
 Today Western Australia Is hard at work to remedy this great need and to supply the Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie mining districts with good supply of water. The total cost of the work will be not less than $15.OOO.OOO. but 1t will solve the water problem.
 About twenty-five miles northwest of Perth, near the sea and the capital of WesteFn. Australia, is the Green Mount

James A. Le Roy, formerly secretary York Post about the native troops in the Philippines and the police corps first known as the Insular constabu- lary. The Macabebe scouts rendered most effective service when under the eyes of American officers: then their barbarities could almost always be re- strained. or by themselves, they showed their old and hated Pampango and Tagalo enemies no mercy Mili- tarily they were a success, politically "a mistake. Other native scouts. re- cruited at first without authority, did excellent work; for some purposes they were better than American soldiers and cost less. Nearly all the army men speak well Of them. The officers of the native constabulary are trying hard to weed out that force and make it all it ought to be. There have been numerous complaints against members Of it from the interior towrs; clashes with the Manila municipal police have occurred. But only twice since July 4. last year, has Governor Taft had to ask for the aid Of regular troops in restoring order anywhere in the ''pacified" provinces. The army men-some of them-look for another uprising. perhaps at the begin ming of the rainy season of 1904. Evi- dently MT. Le Roy takes a more hope full view of the probabilities.

CURRENT COMMENT
 Strengthening the Span of Life.

"The spirit shall not always strive with man for that he also is flesh; yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years" Man shrinks from death because he is not full of days" which is 120 years. Professor Met chinikoff. of the Pasteur institute Paris. says that 20th century science has overcome all disharmonies. and that shortly 14O years will be the nor nal span of life. There are, he says, l2s. .0OO. .0O0, 900. 900 useless microbes in mans insides and that this microbian flora must be killed and kept killed. and that the thing to do is to strength en the blood globules, the nerves. the hepathis and renal cells. the muscular fiber of the heart and to beware of all uncooked, microbe infested salads, strawberries. melons, onions. cucum- bers. celery, radishes and the like; and with the use of some cytotoxic serums. which will act directly on the human system, old codgers will go right on living till they are 40 years old. Old hens, old horses, old men are tough, the brain, the liver, heart and kidneys become hardened by the poisoning of alcohol in the food, lead, mercury and the like and these new cytotoxic se- rums will do away with this salevosis or hardening, and we will live to green old age, like Abraham, 175 years; Isaac. 1S0 years; Ishmael, 137 years: and Job. who lived 120 years after he was afflicted and died full of days" In the meantime we hope Professor Metchinkoff will hurry up his dope; we have just gotten to an age where we begin to enjoy life and are not half full of vars. s."-Eldorado O<ansas) Re publican.

Flower Cure for Divorce.

Tn spite of the we'll known fact that conservatories are very commonly at tached to Newport Cottages" Hon. w s. Elliott of New York has a theory that flowers in a. family home are fatal to divorce germs. He is quoted as publicly saying There is nothing that brings the parents together like little flower pot, or a morning glory, or a sunfower. It arouses the interest of the entire family and acts as a pre- ventive against divorce" There may be something in this, but it is to b' feared there isn't. If little children won't hold their parents together it is hard to see how little flower pots can be more icacious.-Rochester eDmo- crat and Chronicle.

It took courage for the editor of the Breathitt County News to say even as much as this Of the murdered James B. Marcum: Thus passes away one of Breathitt's most distinguished sons. He had many friends, but, like most all good men, he had few enemies" The next news from Breathitt may be that the editor has been murdered.

Mans Equal.

Tn everyday life. in matters where mental qualities are brought into play, the woman, as every man knows, is able to take care Of herself. On ev- cry occasion she shows herself as his equal In intelligence and wit. To what end, then, is all this ado to prove that woman is mentally inferior to man No matter what learned professors may say the world has pretty well made up its nnlnd as to the place wo- man is entitled to hold in it. and deep treatises on the brain are not likely to affect that opinion so long as women continue to show the abilities which they display so freely today.-Worces- ter Spy.

Eighteen republican candidates for the bench in Chicago have been as 'sessed $3000 each. The democratic as- sessment Is said to be s2.25O for those now on the bench and s1.75O for new men. The republican candidates are asking what occasion there is for a campaign fund Of $54,0O0. when no halls are to be hired. no canvasses of wards to be made. and no bands to be em- ployed.

STEAMER LEGCETI

NEWPORT NEWS, VA. May 2,---I'he
lumber steamer Frances H Leggett, Capt.
Jahnsen, left the shppyard to-day and
again started on her long voyage to san
Francisco. The vessel. which was recent
yly completed at the shipyard for the
Hammond Lumber Company OF San Fran
cisco, left the yard last Saturday on her
maiden voyage. She was heavily loaded
with cargo OF steel ra!la and carried
two large railroad locomotives on her
decks on Cape Hatteras tho ship was
caught by q gale and her steering gear
became disabled. and for while the sea
broke over her In such Q way that It
was feared that she would so down. Tin-.
ally the gear was temporarily repaired,
and the captain put back to this port At
the shipyard the ship was repaired and
put into condition again. and about one
hundred tons OF her cargo was discharged.
\ II was found that the Leggett was too
heavily loaded for safety, and Il was
thought that she would have,to discharge
about 100 tons, 53f
