Vigorous Old Age

Paine's Celery Compound makes the old
feel young, and cures their ills. 1t has added
wears of health and enjoyment to many life.
Use this great medicine regularly, and its lnvlg-
Grating powers will fill your declining years
with health, strength, and happiness. Read
what George F. Morse, 81 years old, writes:-
WELLS & RICHARDSON Co.,
Gentlemen Just word in favor of
Paine's Celery Compound, hoping it may catch
the eye of some afflicted person, and they
may receive the same satisfactory benefit.
Some IS years ago I had combination of
malaria, chills and fever, and grip, which con-
tinued for year or more; meantime lost in
weight about 90 pounds, trying different medi-
cines and doctors with unsatisfactory results.
Paine's Celery Compound was recommended,
and, after using little began to improve,
gaining about pound week. In year |
had regained 50 pounds of the lost weight and
good health, and have been we'll man ever
since Yours truly, GEORGE F. MORSE.

He Saved the Baby,

Logan Huffman of Lewiston, ILL.,, writes:
about the middle of March, 1901, my little
girl about years old was suffering from a
bad cold. One day she grew worse and
severe attack of Group followed. Various
remedies were used but failed to relive her
and believe she would have died had I
not been able to secure bottle of Harris
Honey and Horehound. A few doses of that
medicine saved her life. It is most Won
derful remedy for Group The first symp-
tom of Group is hoarseness, which is soon
followed by singular rough cough, easily
recognized by anyone who has ever heard
it. The time to act is when the child first
becomes hoarse and ii Harris Honey and
Horehound is freely given, cure is GER
tain. There is no danger in giving large
doses of this medicine as it contains nothing
injurious. Sold by JOS. Bennett.

In County Of Spokane
Says a Report
.5-..F.t -
ISSUED BY THE GOVERNMENT
Some Of the Arid Areas Tina Have
Been Made to Blossom as
the Rose.

Washington, D.. C.-Nowhere in the
state of Washington has irrigation by
private enterprise been attended with
greater success than in the Spokane
valley. True. the irrigation systems
of that region are less extensive than
those of the Yakima valley, but it is
likewise true that nature has done
much to assist the irrigators of low.
lands lying tributary to the city of
Spokane. That region is climatically
peculiar. 1t was found, by irrigation
experts who visited the valley, that
in past seasons whenever there was
rainy summer fair crops could be
raised, but about every third year
crops were almost an entire failure.
The introduction of irrigation, how.
ever, has changed all this.
The Spokane valley, about forty
miles long and from three to six miles
wide is blessed with rich soil in black
granitic loan Around the border OF
the valley are some of the finest or
chards and gardens in the northwest
Out il the valley, which has been par
TALLY settled for years. a different
state OF affairs prevails. The prin
cipal crop, up to the time of irriga
ton, was fall-planted wheat, and this
was about the only crop that could be
counted on. .,....

Advance in Land Prices,
The first part of the year this land
was put on the market at 500 per
acre. and from that price was adj
vancei to $50. BY July most of the
800 acres had been sold in 10, 20 and
40 acre tracts. 1t was put into cult
walton, homes were built. bushes and
trees set out, alfalfa planted and gem
eral garden truck Of all kinds was
raised In large quantities. The irriga-
ted orchards yielded a fine crop of
apples. prunes, plums and cherries.
A good yield of alfalfa was obtained
and successful crops of tomatoes,
corn. potatoes, berries, tobacco, ETC.,
were marketed. The few remaining
tracts that the company now own are
held at 500 per acre, and improved
land at 1925 to $500 per acre. This
land is sold on terms Of one-fifth
down and the balance in four annual
rinstallments, with interest on deferred
payments at Z per cent. III eu
The expense Of supplying water to
these lands to secure crops will likely
be moderate, while the increased
yield, at the very door Of a city of
$4,000 Inhabitants will be sure to
bring good returns.
g~. 7r Fish Lake Canal.
Last year a canal was completed
which will distribute water from Fish
lake over 5000 acres of rich land be-
tween Houser Junction and Rathdrum,
Is miles from Spokane. This land has
but recently been put upon the mar
ket, and part will be sold at SIS per
acre, with the purchasers agreement
that it will be put into cultivation and
improved. The canal is seven miles
long, from eight to twelve feet in
width and will carry nine cubic feet of
water per second. It has been con
structed that it can be enlarged when
necessary. The company owning this
canal also has rights to water from
Newman, Sucker and Hayden lakes
and from the Spokane .riyes. A short
canal has been constructed. from New
man lake and work is being done on
others. When the canal system is
entirely developed it is estimated that
40 900 acres, will be swatered.

Irrigation in the Spokane valley has
been carried out entirely by private
capital The companies building the
canals have not even aVailed them

act, which would, in a way relieve
them of liability, but have acquiret
