LAND OPEN MAY FIRST
Fifty thousand Acres to be furnished With
Water by March I, 1905.

lCHulHS lHe COHSlIuCllOH Ol lHe
great irrigation reservoir in
Churchill county, stated the
other day to Journal reporter
that the project was attracting the
of desirable settlers in
all parts of the United States.
He also made a number of state
ments that should prove most in
teresting and instructing to
persons who purpose establishing
homes on the tract when it shall
be thrown open to settlement.
MANY FILINGS MADE.
We expect to have water ready
for distribution over from thirty to
fifty thousand acres by March,
1906" said Mr.. Taylor. Quite a
number of filings, might say a
large number, have been made,
but in my opinion they are i'll ad-
vised. Every filing made now is
subject to the tract distribution by
the Interior Department. The
land first watered is to be divided
into I6o-acre tracts. 1t is design
ed to allow each settler not less
than 100 acres in all, divided into
eighty acres, watered, and eighty
acres pasture. Only the head of
each family will be permitted to
file. The entire tract will be sur
veyed into quarter sections. Each
settler will be allowed to file on
one distinct quarter section only.
He will not be permitted to pick
his land from two or more quarters.
He must file on his quarter as a
whole.
DELUDED BY AGENTS.
Intending settlers should not
be misled by agents with alleged
knowledge of choice tracts to be
watered. Eventually something
like half a million acres may be
reached by the waters gathered
from the Truckee and Carson
rivers. The transformation of
this great tract, however, will be
gradual. | can state positively
that no man has knowledge at
present of locations by the water.
II have in mind an agent who
advertises quite extensively his
ability to locate settlers on choice
tracts. His name is II. c. Law
renee, and he halls, | believe, from
Fallon, Nevada. He advertises
himself as formerly connected
with the United States Geological
Survey. He was, but only the
capacity of a brush cutter. He
has no knowledge, whatever, OF
water locations. 1t is an outrage
that honest settlers should give
up fat fees for the purpose of be-
ing deceived into locations on al
kali flats, worthless as land, and
with no possibility of ever being
reached by irrigation"
OPEN MAY FIRST.
about May Ist the government
will issue a map showing clearly
the location of the land to be
reached by water. | would ad-
wise every intending settler to
wait for the map before filing loca-
tions. After filing, the locator
will have six months in which to
make actual homestead entry; say
until January, 1905. Within two
months of that time the water
will be ready for distribution.
We will have an abundance to
thoroughly soak the land, and a
splendid drainage system.
Thousands of acres of this
land will produce grain and alfal-

A short time ago, by request, Uncle Isaac came to Waco and sat for his pie ture. In his hand he held a stick cut from the grave of General Andrew Jack son, which has been carried by him ever since. MT. Brock is dignifed old gen. tl1nan, showing few signs of decrepi- tude. His family Bible is still preserved. and it shows that the date of his birth was written 115 years ago.
 Surely few words from this remarka- ble old gentleman. who has had 115 years of experience to draw from would be interesting as well as profitable. A lengthy biographical sketch is given of this remarkable old man in the Waco Times December 4, 1898. A still more pretentious biography of this, the oldest living man, illustrated with a double column portrait, was given the readers of the Dallas Morning News dated December II. 1898. and also the Chicago Times-Herald of same date

THE OLDEST MAN IN AMERICA
Tells How He Escaped the Terrors of Many V
 by Using Pe=ru=na

This centenarian Is an ardent friend of Peruna, having used it many years.
 In speaking of his good health and ex- treme old age, MT Brock says:
 After a man has lived in the world as long as have. he ought to have found out a great many things by experience. 1 think I have done so.
 "One of The things have found Ouf 10 my entire satisfaction Is me proper thing for ailments that are due directly 10 the effects Of fbe climate. For H5 years have wifhsfood fhe changeabie climate Of fhe United States.
 "I have always been a very healthy man, but of course subject to the little affections which are due to sudden changes in the climate and temperature. During my long life I have known great many remedies for coughs, colds and diarrhoea.
 "AS for Dr. Harfman'S remedy, Peruna, I have found 1T 10 be fhe besf, if nOf fhe only, reliable remedy fer these affections. 1T has been my standby for many years, and affrib- ufe my good health and extreme old age 10 fhis remedy.
 "It exactly meets all my requirements. It protects me from the evil effects of sudden changes; it keeps me in good appetite; it gives me strength; it keeps my blood in good circulation. l have come to rely upon italmost entirely for the many little things for which need medicine.
 When epidemies of la grippe first began to make their appearance in this country I was a sufferer from this dis ease.
 "I had several long sieges with fhe grip. Al first ' did nor knO " that Peruna was q remedy for this disease. When heard that Ia grippe was epidemic cafarrh, Ifried Pernna for Ia grippe and found ii 10 be just fhe thing"
 In a later letter dated January 31, 1903. MT Brock writes:
 II am well and feeling as well as ! have for years. The only thing that bothers me is my sight. If l could sec better could walk all over the farm and it would do me good. I would not be without Peruna.' Yours truly,

The next few weeks may be passed over in silence Huston's frame of mind defies description in cold type When his wife's bill was filed and his lawyer called him in to discuss it. a great light broke upon him. Then his temper asserted itself and he disdained explanations.
 The case went to trial. and the court room was crowded, attracted by the promise of sensational testimony. The case of the plaintiff was brought to a dramatic close by the testimony of Mrs, Hodges regarding her discovery of Illus ton descsnting from cab bearing the number 1476.
 All eyes were on the defendant. He laughed sardonically.
 Hardened wretch" murmured the crowd.
 Huston's lawyer called the officials of his desk from 8:30 to II: 30 on the morn ing of September To- Then Ben Phillips was called and told the story of the cab ride in about six sentences, but with many grins.
 Let us draw the curtain upon the end ing of the case, of Mrs. Hustons deep contrition and humiliation. Let it only be recorded that the cottage is again a happy home and that Houston occupies his old desk at the bank q more cynica, and wiser man-and man who shies whenever he sees a cab.
