Reservoir Withdrawals.

The secretary of the interior has
rendered decision in relation to the
withdrawal of lands for reservoir
sites.
Under the operations of the irriga-
tion law 30,000,000 acres believed to
be susceptible of irrigation have been
temporarily withdrawn by the secre-
tary and the local land officers have
been directed, in case of lands with
drawn for irrigation works, such as
reservoir sites, etc, to allow no en-
tries OF any kind whatever within the
areas withdrawn until the withdrawal
shall have. been modified or revoked.
In timber and stone applications,
where no payment for such lands has
been made at the date of the with
drawal, it is held that no segregation
has been effected, no vested interest
in the application accrued, and conse-
quently the government withdrawals
become operative upon such applica-
tions and effect a withdrawal thereof
so as to terminate the contingent right
Of the applicant, and devote the land
to the objects and purposes OF the act
under which the orders Of withdrawal
were made.
The effect of this decision is to pro-
tect the government from hold-ups by
spectators. These spectators, by ap-
pearing early in the sections where
Withdrawals are made or contemplat-
ed, secure locations on valuable res
ervoir sites which they afterward hold
at exorbitant prices and thus delay or
prevent the construction of important
irrigation works by the government.

Credit Argument.

Our strong position fin the credit nA ------- is a matter attained by ur. daunted persistence in matters on quality and littleness of price, backed by the most liberal and generous cred- it proposition ever offered to the pub lie by the Guarantee Credit Clothing Go.
 Anybody can buy for cash! ''Thars easy" There's no special honor In the fact that one can walk into store. lay down in cold cash the full price asked for an article and so become the possessor. Come to think of it it's the coldest sort of a proposition, mere transaction. To have credit given you is entirely different. Makes you feel as though you were entitled to it. What a great honor it is to be able to enter as store, select such goods as you want and arrange to pay for them in amounts and at times that are convenient to you. What q great dignity there is to credit, and how far reaching its beneficial effects
 A large per cent of the worlds business owes its existence to t1da great comodity. To buy for casEas then, is very ordinary But to buy on credit is always distinction than ops should be proud of.

COLD IN SOUTH.
Northerners Who Flocked to Warmer Climate Have Been Disanpointed.

Very unusual reports regarding the temperature in the south have come from local people sojourning there, and from these it would appear that those contemplating a trip would be very liable to find 1t not quite so sum- ny as 1t has been. Those who have re- turned say they will not go back this winter, and they are very glad to be home again for southern hotels and boarding houses are not prepared for the kind of weather of which this win ter is making record. One business man said yesterday that 1t is so cold south the Southern Railroad company is greatly hampered on account of lack of laboring men. COlored men will not work in such weather because they cannot stand it. The Southern Railroad company had about 5000 men working a week ago or two whereas when he left, these men were gradually going home, taking their wages and provisions and walking the entire distance which in some cases he thought was hundred miles.
 Some Waterburians who have been staying fin South California have been obliged to go further south and many are thinking of coming home because they cannot get the accommodation in the hotels there which are to be had at an ordinary boarding house in the north.
 The snow not only stays, which is a very unusual thing. but furnishes ex- celent sleighing and the colored pOpu- lation Is thinking that the world ts coming to a frozen end.
