the other night, when ready to go up
stairs I felt a wakeful fit coming on
felt as if could never go to sleep
again and had never been asleep since
I was born. Instead of going upstairs
I wandered into the dining-room aim
lessly. There I remembered that we
had had excellent mince pie for din
ner, so rambled into the pantry,
found whole mince pie and ate one
third of it. Then went up to bed.
Yes, sir, and slept like top-didn't
know thing till morning. After two
wakeful nights I tried mince pie again,
and with the same excellent results.
1 give you the experience for what
it is worth, and you take it at your
own risk. A man simply can't stay
awake on mince pie-it holds him
down. Yes, sir!"

ARTESiAN FLOWS.
Government Expert Makes Report
on Arid Lands of Central
Washington.

Washington, Jan. 23.-An exaniina-
ton has recently been made by F. G.
Calkins of the photographic branch Of
the United States geological survey, of
the possibilities of increasing the water
supply Of portions of Central Washing
ton. Kittitas valley is one of the areas
in which irrigation is already extern
sively practiced by water drawn from
the Yakima river and its tributaries.
Plans have matureud for the construc-
ton of bitches from the Upper Yakima
which will materially extend the irri-
gated area to the east and south east in
the near future.
Attention was also given to strip
of desert land just east of the Columbia
river, now used as stock ranch, and
also portion of the great wheat grow
ing region adjoining it on the north
and east which extends northward INTO
the Big Bend of the Columbia river
and eastward beyond the Idaho bound
airy. AS the district has an arid eli
mate, and it's eastern portion is prac-
tically without surface streams. the OBJ
ject of the examination was to deter
MIN the practicability of sinking deep
wells as means of obtaining water,
and especially whether artesian flows
could be found. Irrigation from the
Columbia, except to limited extent
on its lowest terraces, appears to be
impracticable because of the depth and
steepness of the sides of the canyon
through which the river flows.
The information gathered this season
indicates that supply of water suffi-
cient for present needs can be obtained
by deep drilling throughout the region
examined, at depths of from forty to
675 feet. While there are no flowing
artesian wells, the deep waters are
found to be under pressure, and it is be-
lieved that in certain of the lower wells
along the Northern Pacific railroad an
artesian flow could be obtained by prop
er casing.

MADE GOOD FIGHT
DETAILS OF COMMANDMENT OF
FORT SAN CARLOS.
Three German Vessels Shoot All
Day Without SiIencing Venezu.
elan Guns...Aim of G erman Gum
ners Evidently Bad, Though
Some Execution Was Done.

Maracaibo, Jan. 23.-The lombard.
ment of Fort San Carlos, which began
Wednesday morning by the German
cruisers Vineta, Panther and Fake CON
timed until Wednesday evening at s
O'Clock. Thursday morning at day break
seven or eight shells were hurled at the
fort at long range. They all fell short.
At 6 O'Clock the Panther, being of light
draught, closed in and again became
actively engaged. The fort replied and
at O'Clock the engagement was pro-
ceeding as fiercely as on the previous
day. Twelve dead and fifteen wounded
Venezuelan soldiers were counted in
the fort at o'clock Wednesday night
by the correspondent of the Associated
Press.
The Panther left her position, close
to Fort San Carlos, which she took up
early in the day, and at p. m. with
drew and joined the fleet.
The Vineta and the Fake were close
together and nearer the fort than the
Panther. At 6 o'clock the German ves-
sells retired seward, after having made
second Intellectual attempt to land
troops in the village of San Carlos, sit
uated ut the base OF the fort.
The fort is literally covered with
pieces of broken shells. 1t was noticed
that a great number of the German
shells had not exploded. The walls of
the fort which face toward the entrance
of the lake suffered particularly and
were greatly damaged.
1t is estimated by the commandant,
General Bello, that the German ships
fired more than 1900 shells at Fort
San Carlos.
Although the damage inflicted upon
the fort by the sustained fire of the Ger
man cruisers is very great, it is not all
that could be expected from continued
fire from modern high-p guns. The
village of San Carlos suffered greatly.
The aim of the German gunners appear
to have been inaccurate, for more than
so per cent of their shells exploded in
the village before reaching the fort
A fisherman from the village of San
Carlos has arrived here in a canoe with
his family. Two of this mans chill
dren we're killed by shells from the
German cruisers. He reports that more
than twenty-five Indian fishermen have
been killed or wounded at San Carlos.
The fishermen there are helpless.

ACROSS THE BIG BEND.
Long Electric Line for Eastern
Washington Contemplated.


Wilson Creek, Wash Jan. ga
big scheme for the construction of an
electric railroad across the Big Bend
country. controlled by Big Bend capt.
talists, has been launched. 1t is pos
sible that in a little over years time
the road will be finished and the dream
of the people OF the Big Bend country
will be realized. Surveyors are now
in the field laying out the exact route,
and in few months the actual con-
struction will begin. Both freight and
passengers will be carried.
The new line will have its southern
terminus at Washtucna, in the lower
part of Adams county, on the o. K. d
n. railroad. 1t will then run almost
due north to Ritzville, on the main
line of the Northern Pacific, thence in
ia northwesterly direction to Odessa, in
Lincoln county, on the main line Of the
Great Northern, then paralelling the
latter road to Harrington, thence cut
ting northwesterly again across the
country to Wilbur, where it meets the
Central Washington. from Wilbur the
road will head for some point on the
Columbia river not yet determined. Al
this point connections with the river
steamers can be easily made. In ar
air line the road would be 40 miles
long, but its actual length has not yet
been determined.

ARE MOST PROGRESSIVE.
DIR. LOrenz Talks About American
Medical Profession.

Medical Profession.
Vienna, Jan. 22.-Dr. Lorenz, who
has arrived here from London, told a
representative of the Associated Press
of his impressions of the United States.
"Above ALL" he said, 81 was struck
with the magnificent charity vi the
Americans and their immense gifts to
educational institutions and hospitals.
Their willingness, even their anxiety,
to spend money in aiding others, is
almost beyond Belief
Next to this condition, DIR. Lorenz
says he has marveled most at the large
number of alleged healers in America,
naming Christian Scientists and faith
curists of every description, who seem
to flourish there.
The doctor was enthusiastic with re-
gard to the practice of medicine in the
United States and declared that Amer
lean doctors, nurses and hospitals lead
the world.
american physicians are the pres
ent progressivists, continued DR.. Lo-
REM, "while the English physicians
are extremely conservative.
"In America it was difficult to &C.
commodate the doctors and students
who desired to attend my clinics,
whereas during my last week in Lon
don many of the most eminent surgeons
showed no interest in the new methods,
while others who were present declared
the old ways to be the best "
DR.. Lorenz said in conclusion that
he anticipated revisiting the United
States, but it was impossible for him
to tell when he would have the oppor-
tunity.
