Hoods Sarsaparilla
Eradicates IL. cures all its manifestations
nd builds up the whole system.
Accept no substitute.

the improvements will be at least $50
to the acre; that the net annual profits
on the land will average SIS to the
acre; and. finally. that the present
value of the states arid lands is NOM
inal, and the annual acre profit a bag
atelle compared to possible future
pro- $.
Applying these figures to that part of
the Big Bend project that will come
under the Occur d'Alene system, the
following is deduced:
First, the irrigation Of 500 900 acres
of sem!arid land in the Big Bend coun-
try should increase the rural popula-
ton of the state by $4,000. Accord
ing to the rule Of political economy,
that for every 1000 persons engaged in
a given pursuit there will be 1000 in
other callings directly supported there
by, it would also increase the urban
population by $4,000 making total of
75o, 600 as a direct result of a single
enterprise. An increase of 100000
would double the present population OF
the state.
Second, the irrigation of 100000
acres Of semiarid land in the Big Bend
country should increase the taxable
property of the state by approximately
S225, 100000, an amount nearly equaline
the assessed valuation of all taxable
property in the state today
Third, the irrigation of 100000
acres of semiarid land in the Big Bend
country should cause the distribution
of more than S1OO.OOO,0OO in annual
profits to tillers of the soil in the dis
trict-an amount exceeding three times
the cost of developing the system.

Man or Mountain.

Clifford b. Hildreth is the proprietor
of hotel at York Beach. Me-, a few
miles from a promontory known as
Baldhead Cliff. The place is wild and
picturesque, and is the mecca of many
summer visitors.
Hildreth is called "Cliff" by all who
know him. His head has pushed
through his hair, and he has little
use for a comb. A few weeks ago a
party OF tourists stopped in front OF
his hotel, and, seeing Mrs. Hildreth on
the veranda, one Of the men called out
Can you tell me where Baldhead
Cliff isT'
"He must be around the house some
where" said Mrs. Hildreth. II saw
him just few minutes ago" She wa.
not disconnected by the slangy title
that she believed the tourist had be
slowed on her husband.

sHEEPMEN WITH PACKERS.
ALL Other stookmen Herd With the
New Assoc iatlon.

The National Live Stock association
was rent in twain recently by the adop-
ton of a new constitution, which ad-
mitted the packers to membership, and
provided an open door through which
the railroads of the country might at
any time become factors in the con-
troll Of the organization.
The cattlemen, horse and swine own
ers, together with representatives of
some of the affiliated industries, re-
fused to agree to the new constitution
and withdrew when they considered its
adoption probable. and formed a new
organization under the name of the
American Stock Growers association,
whose aim it will be to WELD a domi-
mating influence in the interest of the
cattle growers.
Roughly speaking. the sheep grow
ers, commission men and the stock
yards interests remained with the Ma
tional Live Stock association, and the
actual growers of all other animals for
the market have gone with the new as
sociation.

We shall feed the hungering souls of earth.

The growth of public interest in

ganization in Spokone of the north
west section uf the National Irrigation

educate the people of Washington and
Idaho to the necessity for irrigation
in these states, as a factor in their
final commercial and industrial supre-
macy. and to influence congress,
through popular demand, to set aside
adequate sums from the general irri.

projects in this field
There will be a convention of the
