One of the greatest American nIillionaireS once said to his physician, VA million dot- lars. Doctor, for new stomach, and theH the sick man grOaned and turned away Ore of mans greatest pleasures IS that born Of a keen appetite, vigorous digestion and a good dinner, and this belongs to many a good fellow who is living on sI1lalk wages. but the rich man without stomach has to forego the good things of the table because his stomach rebels Without healthy stomach and good digestion, our blood is thin watery and poor, our heart action is weak our liver does not do its drty. and man is miserable and unhappy In this condition man IS prey to the germs of influenza consumption, malaria and ali the ills that he is heir to. Consumption can be treated by natural methods which are as close to nature as possible.
 Dr R. V. Pierce, chlet consulting physl, ciau of the InvalidS' Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo, N. Y, years ago uir- derstJod this disease, and after long pc riod of experiment discovered certain roots and herbs which were natures remedies. and succeeded ill putting them up i'll q form that would be easily procured ana ready to use This he called Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It gives ro false stimulation because 1t contains no alcohol and no narcotic. It helps diges- ton aud the assimilation of such elements in the food as are required for the blood. Instead of cod liver oil, against which the already sensitive sto,uach will declare open rebellion, this tonic has pacifying action upon the sensitive stomach and gives to the blood the food clements the tissues require. It maintains the patient s nutrition by enabling him to eat, retain, digest and assirnilate nutritious food. 1t overcomes gastric irritability. and symP- toms of indigestion, and i'll this way fever, night sweats, headaches, etc. are done away with. It fortifes tue body agalust the germs of consumption. grip and ra- Fsrja, and it builds up the tissues and T/uts os healthy flesh
 When the druggist says he has some ti,ing that is "just as good as pr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, hs says so be cause he hopes to make better proht' but his owr mixtures have not stood the test of icHg experience TOT had the euccesS sa2; p1. rizrce'5 medicines h2Te hS1,

THREE MILLION DOLLARS
 FOR IRRIGATION AT YUMA
Nearly 100 600 Acres of the Most Fertile Lands on
 Earth to be Irrigated.

also lcvee of considerable length on both sides of the Gila. The height of levees will be five feet above highest flood mark - that of 1891. Course of main canal will be southeasterly, skirt ing the Lagpna mountains, to the Gila river, which will be crossed by tunnelling; thence skirting the edge of the mesa, to Yuma and on to the lower valley. At drop into the valley it is intended to develop 1000 horse power of electricity and establish a pump ing station: calculations are at present to raise water to lands ten feet above the average level of river. The lands to be Watered by pumping are the Gila lands lying just above the outflow of gravity canal. Laterals willreach every quarter section in the dis trict. The plans also provide for drainage system to carry off any seepage water that it may be necessary to remove.
 The three million dollars, it is estimated, will completely cover the cost of the system, including the levees and pumping plant, and three years work will be re quired to put it in operation.
 There seems no doubt that all arrangements can be perfected between the government and the land owners in time for actual construction to begin on the dam this fall. The impetus that will at once be givsn to every line ot business and industry in this section will be so great as to give it such a boost forward as will be unparalled by any region in the west in rapid growth and development.
 Writing of the Colorado river, i and lands tributary, Prof. R. Il. Forbes, chief of the government experiment station at Tucson, compares them with the Nile river and valley. He says: "Both (rivers) rise in mountainous country and flow through sub 1 tropical regions. Each makes a narrow ribbon of fertile soil i Each has a summer overflow The products are varied. The Colorado is destined to be mod ern Nile. The Colorado is but little used or adapted for traffic. while with the Nile the opposite is true.
 In conclusionP Professor Forbes states that the climate of the 1 Colorado is near perfection.

he could not have committed so foul a murder For our part ye frankly say that we do not be- lieve that the perpetrator of so cowardly q murder as that of Archie BorQues could ever have had the bravery, the courage, or . the manhood to do as Buck did when he saved the life of Super intendent Griffith. Again we say, he should~be pardoned.
The Arizona sentinel., 1904-05-11
BUCK SHOULD BE PARDONED

We are pleased to note the generous recognition by the press of the territory of the heroic action of Convict Buck in saving the life of Superintendent Griffith at the time of the recent attempted break at the prison. Bucks conduct has but one parallel in the history of the prison and, indeed, history re- cords no braver or more merito- rious deed, and it should receive it's just reward-an uncOnditiOn- al pardon from the governor.
 The story has been told so 1 frequently in the press that we shall not attempt to repeat it.; but we do want to call attention ! to one or two details which have been omitted from the general press reports
 i Buck came into the hall be- tween the dining-roOm and the inside office just after the con- victs had begun their attack. The superintendent saw him and called to him to come to his as sistance, Buck immediately ran
 to the butcher shop, secured a
 knife, locked the door and came
 to the rescue. As he did so the
