Dynamite Famine Prevails In
 Mexico.

From all over Mexico comes reports of the scarcity of dyna- mite and blasting powder. Even at greatly increased prices mining men have been unable to secure sufficient quantities to meet their requirments and loses in business is the result.
 The high tariff excludes Ameri- can dynamite and the Mexican factory holding the concession is not supplying the demand. Says the Parral Miner: Tt IS like trust controlling the price of bread, because the bread of the mine owners and of the thousands of whom they employ depends on the. success of their business and if their business stops, either because they cannot find dynamite, or because they

Sour Grapes

The Albuquerque Journal is much exercised for fear that if Arizona is not joined to New Mexico that when we are given statehood Arizona will be domi mated by the Mormon church. This jS a clear case of sour grapes. Ascertaining that the sentiment of the country is with Arizona in her fight against be- ing yoked up with thls ignorant, non-producing population of New Mexico. This paper in a period of spleens, makes this ri- diculous charge. We'll, we all say that if we were compelled to choose between being dominated by the MOrmons vote, or the vote of New Mexico, there is not much question as to where Ari- zona will stand. While the charge is absurd yet were 1t a fact, the people of Arizona would ten thousand times rather take their chances with the intel ligent, progressive Mormons, who obey the law, and are good citizens, than to unite with New Mexico, under her present con- ditions of citizenship. We wish to tell our Albuquerque con temporary that it need not loose any sleep over Arizona, her future. and her, possibilities. We are fully competent to take care of selves, and further the people of this territory are not the kind of people who allow any sect, denomination, or ma tionality to dominate them Enterprise.

A settlement made up of near ly twenty-five families has sprung up in the vicinity of the Phoenix & Eastern railroad at Queens creek, and improvements ot a permanent nature will be begun in a few days. The soil in that vicinity Is q sandy loam and of character well adapted to the growing of fruits and small produce. There is no irri- gatiCn, and as d result the land IS free from weeds and muc other growth, the seeds of which are usually first washed on land through irrigation ditches. The land is quite level and holds moisture well, so that as much rain as has fallen in the past month insures a good crop. Some twenty acres of land has been planted i'll peanuts .-Coco- nino Sun.

MANY MEN AFTER
JOB OF PAYMASTER

WASHINGTON-Within two days
after the announcement was made
from the Navy department that a
competitive examination will be held
for applicants to vacancies in the pay
corps, 1873 applications came to the de-
partment from young men in twenty
one different states in the union. Penn
sylvania and Illinois furnished the
longest lists of young men who are
ambitious to secure paymaster's
commission. Judging by the number
already received, the department ex-
poets to be deluged with letters from
those seeking to enter the corps. AS
there are but twelve vacancies, the de-
partment will have ample material to
draw from.

ESTIMATES FOR PANAMA CANAL
Congress Will Be Asked to Appropriate
$4,000 900.

WASHINGTON - An estimate of
$16,O00,000 for continuing work on the
Panama canal has been sent to the
Treasury department from the War
department to be sent to congress.
The estimate of $4,000 900 is for
expenditure up to and including the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1907. A
part of this money will be necessary
at once and an emergency appropria-
ton will be asked for as soon as con-
gress convenes in order that the work
may proceed
1t is stated at the offices of the COM
mission today that unless money is pro-
vided as soon as congress convenes all
the, work must cease. All estimates
were made without regard to the pro-
posal to issue bonds.

DISTRESS AFTER MEALS
Sure Sign That Williams Pink Pills
Are Needed to Tone Up the
Digestive Organs.

Loss of appetite, distress after eating,
shortness of breath, q feeling of utter
weabness-these are symptoms that are
familiar to most sufferers from stomach
trouble. Too often the ordinary doctors
treatment serves but to weaken the dis
eased organs
The new tonic method of treating dis
orders of this kind does not aim to do the
work of the stomach, does not demand
that the food be pre-digested, but builds
up the weakened organs, SO that they can
do the work that nature intended.
Mrs. L.O. Law, of No. 1924 North street,
Horton, Kansas, says: "In 1897, while
we were living on farm i'll this neigh
borhood, became generally debilitated
rs the result of overwork. l had serious
indigestion, lost my appetite, suffered
from sense of suffocation and from OBJ
struction of the circulation, so that arti-
fetal means had to be used to restore it.
After suffering for months without find
ing any relief | tried box of DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills of which had read in
newspaper. The first few boxes made
me lots better, and after using the third
box l felt entirely well.
II am now i'll excellent health and am
able not only to take care of my house
but also to assist my husband i'll a store
which he has lately taken. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills cured me and l can recon-
mend them. They are so simple, so
easily taken and SO prompt i'll their ac-
ton"
Remember DR.. Williams Pink Pills do
not act on the bowels. They make new
blood and restore shattered nerves. In
this way they carry health and vigor to
every organ and fiber of the body. They
are sold by all druggists or will be sent,
postpaid, on receipt of price, so cents per
box; six boxes for 81 so, by the Dr. Will
liams Medicine Co., Schenectady, NY.

Birds In Attack.

Birds display great skill and cur
ming in the chase, the attack and in
guarding themselves from injury dur
ing the struggle for supremacy. The
secretary bird is the inveterate enemy
and untiring pursuer of the snake. All
sorts, even the most venomous, he
hunts with zest that is at once in
teresting and amusing.
The snake fees from its foe, who
follows, watching every opportunity
for a blow. When the reptile turns
the bird uses one of his wings as a
shield and strikes with his foot. The
snake buries its fangs in the wing, but
leaves the lson in the plumage and
the bird escapes unhurt.
Repeated blows from the powerful
claw confuse and disable the snake
and at last it falls, to be at once dis
patched by thrusts of the sharp beah
into it's head The bird then losses
his victim into the air and, catching
it as it falls. swallows it.

IRRIGATION WORK.
Much Credit Given To II In Western
Nebraska.

Nebraska.
WASHINGTON - The department
] Of agriculture has issued a report Civ.
, ing the results of an investigation Of
inter-water rights on the Platte river
and its tributaries and dealing with
the water right problems on this
stream in the state of Colorado, Neb-
raska and Wyoming The issues dealt
with in this bulletin are similar to
those now being litigated in the United
States supreme court with respect to
the water of the Arkansas river. They
comprise: The relation between ripar-
ian rights and those acquired by ap-
preparation in the same state, and the
relation between appropriations rights
in the different states.
The report says
THE Platte river and its tributaries
irrigate 1924 ,463 acres of land. Some
of the best farming land sells for less
than $40 an acre. Fifty years ago this
land was regarded as a desert and was
practically worthless. If the right to
use water in irrigation were taken
away from it, 1t would be practically
valueless today.
More than 100000 people live in the
irrigated territory on this stream. Not
all OF them depend on agriculture. The
cities of Denver, Cheyenne, Laramie,
North Platte and score of other
towns with their machine shops. flour
mills, paper mills beet sugar factories
and transportation interests all tend to
augment the importance of water, be-
cause not city or town, a factory or
a railway, can be assured of the prlv-
lege of using the water of this stream
without securing right thereto
through definite legal procedure
"The value of water rights for irri-
cation has risen from 81 an acre to $35
an acre, and stored water sells for even
higher prices. Water to irrigate an
acre of land has been sold for SIS a
year.
THE average flow of water in the
South Platte and it's tributaries is g.
756 cubic feet per second. Against this
supply rights to 3O,597 cubic feet per
second have been established in Col
RADIO and Nebraska. The area irrigated
from the North Platte and it's tributar-
les is about 900 900 acres. In Nebraska
riparian rights are recognized as well
as rights Of appropriation.

LIFE INSURANCE AGAIN.
Some of the Bright Spots.

(ChicagO Tribune.)
There has been much discussion the last
few months upon what the press has
called scandals in some of the large east
ern lie insurance companies, and while
attention has been riVeted upon the diff
culties OF these institutions the public has
almost grown to believe all are alike, and
are inclined to cenSure all for the short
comings of the few.
In looking over the situation carefully
there seems to be some companies located
In the west that have neither specialized
In Wall street securities nor invested in
them. All their assets including both re-
serve and surplus are invested in first
mortgages on western improved farms
the best security in the world, and draw
Ing good rate of interest. One such
company that certainly exhibits clean
record, as shown by its reports, has its
home office at Lincoln Neb., and conducts
its business under the name of The Old
Line Bankers Life of Nebraska. 1t is
nearly twenty years old, but has never
done much talking about itself 1t has
grown conservatively and quietly and has
made progress each year along lines that
Its policy holders approve. Practically all
of its assets of a million and quarter
dollars are invested in first mortgages on
the best of farms ana not dollar Of
past due interest is shown in it's report.
Its earnings last year for its policy hold
ers was more than IL per cent on its
mean reserve, the cost for new business
written is less than any of the leading
life insurance companies in the United
States, and its death loss per thousand
Unlike many companies organized in re-
cent years on the remains of some de-
funct assessment order or company, 1t
started originally as an old line COM
pany, and has no assessment business

earned for its policy holders is in amount
equal to 80 per cent oil It's entire reserve,

A Hint for Little Tapers.

One night man took a little taper
out of drawer and lighted it, and be-
gan to ascend long, winding stair
where are you going?" said the
taper.
Away, high up said the man;
higher than the top of the house
where we Sleep"
"And what are you going to do
there?" said the little taper.
Il am going to show the ships out
at sea where the harbor is" said the
man; "for we stand at the entrance to
q harbor, and some ship far out on
the stormy sea may be looking for our
light even now"
Alas! no ship could ever see my
light" said the little taper; sit is so
very small"
"If your light is small" said the
man, keep it burning brightly and
leave the rest to me-"
Well, when the man got up to the
top Of the lighthouse-for this was a
lighthouse they were in-he took the
little taper and with 1t he lighted the
great lamps that stood ready with
their polished reflectors behind them,
and soon they were burning steady
and clear, throwing a great strong
beam of light across the sea. BY this
time the lighthouse man had blown
out the little taper and laid it aside
But 1t had done it's work. Through its
own light had been so small, it had
been the means of kindling the great
lights in the top of the lighthouse and
these were now shining over the sea
80 that ships far out knew by it where
they were, and were guided safely into
the harbor.
