THE PATHFINDER ASSURED.

Gov. Chatterton has received word
from Mr.. F. H. Newell, chief engineer
of the reclamation service, to the eff
feet that the secretary Of the interior
has executed a contract with the North
Platte Canal and Colonization
whereby the government will take ov-
err what is known al the Lingle pro-
ject. Under the terms of the agree.
ment the government will enlarge the
Whalen Falls canal in northern Lara
ME county and will carry water to the
people who have already settled or
made agreements to settle under that
canal. The settlers who hold contracts
with the Lingle company will be per
mitted to make their proofs under the
Carey act, but all others will be requir-
ed to comply with the terms Of the ir.
rigation act.

vexed problems that have come up is

dred thousand acres will be reclaimed
by the Pathfinder PROJECT. which COW
ers lands along the North Platte from
Carbon county TO the state line. and,
it is hoped, a large quantity Of the
state Of Nebraska.
Whether there is much development
in Nebraska or not depends largely
upon the attitude of the citizens of
that state. II they permit private com
panies to drive out the government en-
terprises, then there will be little i'm

delays and no end Of litigation.
The government is already advertis-
ing for bids for the construction of a
sluicing tunnel at he Pathfinder dam
This tunnel will carry the water
around the dam site while the huge
dam is being constructed. The entire
work will be pushed with all the vigor
consistent with first class work and 1t
Is confidently believed by those In a
position to know that water will be
supplied to the settlers In four years
time. Settlers under the Whalen ca
nal will doutless be given water be-
fore that time, as the canal
is already constructed for a con-
siderable distance and will not depend
for its water upon the main works at
the large reservoir and the division
dam near Guernsey.
Mr. Newell states that Governor
Chatterton and the state land board
have taken great interest in this mat
ter and that the part they have taken
in the negotiations has been very nelp

she will never look beautiful. The feelings
of nervousness, the befogged mind, the
ill-temper, the pale and wrinkled face, all
result from those disorders peculiar to
women, and the only way to effect their cure
is to strike at the source of the difficulty.
There is every reason why she should write
some great specialist, one who has made the
diseases of women a specially for a third Of
a century like DR.. K. V. Pierce, founder of
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
of Buffalo, N. Y. All correspondence is
held sacredly confidential, and he gives his
advice free and without charge.
During a long period of practice, Doctor
Pierce found that a prescription made up
entirely of roots and herbs, without the
use of alcohol, cured ninety-eight per cent.
of such cases. After using this remedy for
many years in his private practice he put
It up in a form that can be had at any store
where medicines are handled.
In many cases Dr.. X. v. Pie1ce's Favorite
Prescription will fit the needs and put the
body in healthy condition.
So sure of it is DR.. Pierce, he offers a
reward of $500 for women who cannot be
cured of L.eucorrhea, Female Weakness,
Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb. All he
asks is a fair and reasonable trial of his
means of cure.

The present plan of DIR. Mead Is to
establish an experimental station OF
two in parts of Wyoming where it is
proposed to SOW grass seeds with a
view of producing grasses on these
arid plains that will grow with little
or no water. Such experiments are
being successfully conducted in dry
parts Of Oregon, with the result that
an alfalfa has been found that will
grow with as little moisture as that
necessary to support sage brush and
similar vegetation.
I'm southern Russia is found a blue
grass similar to the famous blue grass
of Kentucky and even more nutritious.
This grass needs little or no moisture,
and, besides making an excellent sod.
