Sea azo.ooo. 900 Years Old.

Three hundred and seventy mill lion years is the approximate age of the oceans, according to the calculations of Prof. R. D. Salis- bury of the department of geology of the university of Chicago.
 Tt has been calculated" writes MT. Salisbury, "that if the salt now in the sea were precipitated it would make something like $500, . GOO cubic miles. If to this be added all the other mineral matter in solution in the sea water the amount would be swollen to about 4, 500, 900 cubic miles" ."
 Prof. Salisbury estimated the quantity of salt and water brought to the sea each year by rivers, and on this basis obtains 37o, 1000, ,ooo as the estimated number of years it would take for the amount of salt now in the sea to have been brought to it by rivers at the pres- ent rate

A Checking Stand.

It will be of interest to every visitor to the Territorial fair to know that there will be provided for the convenience of those who attend, a checking stand under the grand stand. Those who bring wraps, overcoats, lunches, grip sacks, or any impediments, except babies, if they do not care to be burdened with them during their wanderings around the ground, may leave them at the checking stand. It might not be bad idea for some one to establish check ing stand for babies also. -Repub- lican.

A bill has been introduced in congress by Congressman Howell of Utah, for the annexation of the Arizona strip north of the Colo rado river to Utah. Bills have been introduced every congress for the past decade to put that portion of Arizona in Utah but at each session nothing was done. But this time the congressman seems to be much more in earnest and the proposition is to make of the strip a national game park, and at the same time to annex it to Utah. Last summer Senator Reed Shoot visited the strip with a party of Utah people and it is their hope to present the matter of national game preserve to the President and thereby get his sup port in adding the strip to Utah and thus wrest it from Arizona without compensation. The strip lies in Coconino and M O h ve counties and these counties should at once take steps to prevent the taking away of a large part of their domain without some remunera- ton.

Made In large quantities to supply
the immense demand for 1t, II requires
the utmost vigilance to maintain the
purity and excellence of every single
bottle. Sent as 1t is to the cold, wintry
climate of the north. or the hot, torrid
climate Of the south, Peruna must be
so prepared that neither cold nor heat
can change its composition or alter its
appearance.
In All Directions
North. South East and West car
loads of Peruna are being rapidly con-
veyed to their destination by hundreds
of railroads.
Not a single bottle of this vast
amount contains a speck Of impurity
or the slightest difference in compost
ton. The contents of every bottle are
exactly alike. All these difficulties
have been overcome and Peruna is
furnished to over two millions of
homes, each bottle in spotless purity
and pharmaceutical integrity.
Endorsed by Prominent People
No medicine that the world has ever
produced has received the unqualified
endorsement of so many prominent
people as Peruna.
All classes praise Peruna. People of
national prominence, who are busy
with professional and official affairs,
do not usually take time to write let
ters of commendation. Such people
are generally very cautious about al
lowing their names or photos to be
used in public print especially to
recommend a remedy. even though
they believe the remedy to be a good
one.
But Peruna arouses such enthusi-
astic approval as to break down all
precedents in this particular. 1t is nc
wonder when one stops to think of it
Catarrh is an insidious disease. While
it does not often make one actually
sick abed, 1t is a very annoying all

Los ALAMITOS. Feb. 4.-The record
here for this storm is 215 inches,
making total of 633 for the season,
nearly all of which has come since
January 1. The precipitation has been
in showers so far apart that the soil

are incalculable. Crops are now as
sured on upland and in valley; hay
grain and beet crops are certainty,
and the dairyman who did not sell ou'

beet land is greater than the supply
and it is safe to say that every avail
able acre will be planted as soon as
practicable.
Since the close of last seasons run
a force of men has been constantly II
