After the Slaughter Houses.

The city health department. with
DR.. IA. J. Swezey at its head is after
the slaughter houses of the different
meat markets: claiming that they are
unsan;tary, and has made to the coun-
Gil representations looking toward the
construction of a union slaughter house
in an appropriate place, having every
facility for the killing of stock and
the dressing and keeping of meats in
a strictly sanitary manner. AS yet
nothing definite has been done about
the matter. but the butchers seem per-
fectly willing to enter into such an
arrangement, and there is no disputing
the fact that it would be far better
for the public at large.

A Recording Bank that is Something New

A Recording Bank that is Something New.
Solomon said there was nothing new
under the sun. If he had lived IN the
present age he would have retracted
that statement many times. Every
man, woman and child, so to speak,
have seen the ordinary metallic saw
ings bank now in vogue throughout
the country, but few have seen the
matchless self-registering device for
saving money which is designated as
recording bank and is a marvel of
ingenuity. put together in two COM
pact parts of indestructible metal and
designed to last for life time. 1t is
circular in shape and has separate
compartments to hold cents, nickels,
dimes. quarters and half dollars, as
we'll as an aperture for the deposit
of currency if desired. Each compart-
ment is solid and indestructible, the
outer surface, neatly indexed, indicat.
ing unerringly the amount of money
deposited in each compartment,
visible at all times, so that the de.
positor always knows just how much
has been saved. Heretofore money
has been placed iu the ordinary de-
vice, and not one person In thousand
could determine the amount contained
therein unless record was kept of
same. The recording bank is its own
book keeper and accountant. The
figures are there to tell the amount
deposited.
Call or write to the National Bank
Of DEBORAH and the working of this
bank will be explained also the method
by which YOU may obtain one. 1t is
very simple.

THE GREAT COLORADO RIVER

The gYeat Colorado river is the largest stream, both in drainage area and discharge shat lies wholly within the arid portion Of fhe United States. + is formed by the june dion Of the Green and Grand rivers. rising in colorado and W rOming rCS CSpCciiNclN, in re- glOns of great pTecipiiaIiGn, nanny !n the Gsrnr of SNOW. only a small percentage of the water viPlGtd by tEC b9Slr o% the Colorado has as vet been utilized for irrigation. and practically none for any other purposes. The obstacles are many. Through most Q! nS course thiS FiNeE and its tributaries How a | tine bottom Of prOfOEnd canyons from which II Is impossible tO divert them upon irrigabie Bands The river emergeS from its canyon short distance above the NeedleS-thc cross ing of the Santa Fe Pacific EJilroad-tnd has series of valleys which between thus polnt and the Mexican line aggregate about 0HtNJ acres. In this region the waters are heavily laden with sediment, which is a serious oh- staclc to their diversion The grade of the river is so fiat that d diversion canal taken out at the rivers bed must have so slight a ., fall and so low a velocity that it would quickly f:il with sediment from tEe river, For the same reason a c;lllaf lnIlSt DO very long in order to command any ccSSiderao!e area Of land in the river vaSleg.
 TWO AHp A QCAKrEH gIESIoS CAPTIONS A

 The river is n<y7Egatea IsroFe or less from ltS sstolstip 60 tas- Needles by aat-bOttom, stern wheel hO:sts, which SorsEI mes even ascend to she ryanut1 of giFgiA river. Its navigation, however is so difficult aud prec1Tious as to make ft almost useless. At low. water the channel 5s SO broad, shallow and cfaGgeable shat boats are continually runau@ aground. sometimes being nearly week in advancing ten or fifteen miles. In times of high water She swift current greatly impairs navigation. Wherever wagon transportation IS possible, ehiS is preferred to the rSver.
 The chief obstacle to the utilization Of the waters of this basin are: First, the great huctuation in discharge; second, the paucity of land that can be reached by them; third, the large quantity Of sediment making i'm practicable any diversion on a small scale.
 \ comprchensive project is here presented, which, if upon investigation, is found i'm practicable. will largely remove all O. these difficulties, and will also greatly improve navigation at all seasons Of the year.
 The development of the mineral resources isl which this country is richr is greatly ham, pcrcd by tine great cost Of power and the lack of transportation, botir important requisites for the mining industry. The proposed plan will completely solve both problems.

s1.RrRotEeAL CLIMATE.

All ofthe lalrd that can be irri%sstctt frOfa the lower Colorado may bc regarded as haN- ing a semi-tropical climate, where the grow Ing season for most products continues the year round-the requirements for wafer, how ever being greater in the summer season than in the winter. It is here assumed that the maximum use in July will be twice as great as the minimum requirements in January; and that stream with the maximum How Of two cubic feet per second in July, furnishing about 1000 acre-fcct per annum, will supply 200 acres of land.
 It is probable tlrat with proper regulation the Colorado river will be able to furnish continuous stream Of water for industrial Hscs varying from l0,DO0 cubic feet per second Tn winter to 20-D00 cubic feet Der second in summer, in years of smallest discharge, ai- Rowing the great floods of wet years to sweep to the sea as at present. This will be Suffi eicnt to irrigate 2,000,000 acres of land, and is so far in excess of the requirements below the Grand Canyon that no restriction need to be put upon storage and diversion of waters from the tributaries of the Colorado.
 considerable portion of the valleys of the lower Colorado consists of sandy flood plains subject to occasional inundatiops, and rough, Cravclly foothills with soil unsuitable for cul- Iivation. There are also considerable areas of sand dunes, and some tracts rendered bar ren by alkali. All these it is proposed to re- claim by impending upon them the silt which annually passes down the Colorado river
