The larger share of the business of
Denver, Breme county, is done out
side the Incorporation. Both the
lumber yards, the grain business, one
implement house, hardware store, a
printing office, blacksmith shop, hotel,
the railroad station and the leading
general store are outside the town
proper. The bulk of the people in
side of the incorporation do not want
to take the outside territory in and
those outside do not wish to go in, so
there you are. The corporation tax is
an item worth saving and the out
siders are willing to save it.

At the recent city election at Clear

feeling was aroused because no caucus
had been called and the DIRECTORS, just
to show that they were not to be I'M
done, ran third candidate for alder
man, John Cobb. In order to have a
vote counted for Mr.. Cobb it was
necessary that each individual voter
should write his name on the ballots
draw square opposite the name and
place cross in the square. AS a rule
this would have been too much bother

Did You Know This =?

Do you know that neglected cough
or cold leads to consumption? More
people die from the effects of catching
cold than from any other known cause.
There is one remedy, and remember
it only costs 80 cents, that has proven
a safe, unfailing cure for coughs and
colds 1t is called Gooch's Mexican
Syrup. Your druggist has it or will
get it for you. 1t heals and strength

do you good; you had better get a

PRACTICAL CRAFTSMANSHIP.

An impressive object lesson for those
who are are inclined to be-little the Inn
portance OF irrigation, and those who
assert that irrigation enterprises are
matters for private investment rather
than Government aid, is to be found In
the Nile dam at Assouam. This great
enterprise has just been completed at
cost OF sl2, 500, 900 and it is estimated
will add twenty per cent to the fertile
area of Egypt. No similar engineering
problem OF equal magnitude has ever
been faced by engineers before. The
dam is mile and a quarter long, Is Az
feet wide 90 top, is OF solid masonry
aud dams the waters of Father Nile for
a distance OF one hundred and forty
miles. A most difficult feature OF the
undertaking was that 1t was necessary
to provide at times for the passage OF
the river through the dam. This is
accomplished by sluIce gates.
The Egyptian Government arranged
with syndicate OF capitalists TO finance
the enterprise, who are to be reim-
bursed by yearly payments. 1t is es-
timated that the products of the land
irrigated by the water stored in the
dam will pay for the structure In one
year, and that the Egyptian Govern.
ment will receive 81, 900, 900 In one year
In taxation from the new land reclaim
ed and made fertile by the waters OF
the overlooking Nile that otherwise
would flow to waste in the Mediterra-
mean.
There is something sublime in the
thought that Egypt, the land of ferti-
lily n nd promise, whose soil has yielded
of It's abundance for $4,000 years peri
odically. rejuvenated by the sediment
of the great river, the granary where
Jacob and his sons went for corn to re-
lievc their famine. is now to receive the
benefit OF modern science and skill, and
TO have ia area of fertility increased by
the resources OF the modern engineer.
