building up its delta, higher and
higher until today the bed OF the river
Is above the valley on eitae- siGe.
Once let 1t cut It's banks and the
stream spreads out all over the eoun-
try. About four years ago large
corportion, imbued with the laudable
purpose of making homes for settlers
In the Salton Desert, completed big
canal heading in the river below Yu-
ma and almost ON the international
boundary. The canal was large
one, 60 feet on the bottom, and carried
n great amount of water through
Mexico into California on to the area
now called Imperial Valley. The
canal heading, owing to the character
of the banks of the stream, was lDse-
cure. 1t has always been q source OF
trouble and annoyance. The river
resented 1t as an obstruction in It's
course and deposited great loads OF
silt in front of it and then proceeded
to cuk a channel around 1t. DTeases
were used constantly to keep the canal
heading open.
The last great flood in the stream
simply wiped away the head gates
and opened a way for large part OF
the stream to flow into the valley.
Just below this point the stream
spilled over the banks again and fol-
lowing down an old stream channel
1t finally began to pour its whole vol
ume In to Salton Sink. Only the high
banks of the Imperial canal prevented
larger areas of irrigated lands from
being inundated and millions of dol
lars In crops from being destroyed.
Great difficulties are presented to
the engineers who are trying to induce
the stream to go back to its old chan
mel. A new heading is projected.
Thousands OF feet of lumber have
been ordered and STEAMBOATS, are
awaiting It's arrival. IL these means
prove ineffective there is danger that
5000 families now residing in the I'M
peria1 Valley, may be rendered home
| less. Competent engineers are In
clined to believe that the task Is be-
yond the strength of the present COM
pany to perfom and that measures
now being undertaken will not prop
erly nor permanently safeguard the
property Of the people In the valley.
This Is a question for the engineers

Rest fhe Bones q Pocahontas.

The proposition to bring back to the
ancient city of jamestown the body or
Pocahontas, in connection with the ex-
position at that place, has aroused con-
siderable Indignation, both in England
and in America, by people who believe
that such step is nothing more than
a move intended as a side-show feature
of the exposition. While 1T Is true
there have been instances Of a disturb
ance Of O grave made hundreds OF years
before, as in the recent case OF Ad-
rliral John Paul Jones, still the cases
cannot be compared. One Is a man VINO
had much to do with the preservation
Of the American nation and navy: the
other was the central figure in bit OF
fiction surrounding the settlement OF
this country by English settlers. Po-
cahontas, it Is true, was native Amer
ican. which John Paul Jones was not,
but Pocahontas married an English
man, lived ard died il England, and
the traditions Of her later life were sur
rounded by all that is English.
The London Standard, in comment
ing on the movement to bring her body
TO America, cites pages from book by
an American writer tending to show
that the life Of Pocahontas was ira
dition and poetical version and add
ing: "If the original myth is really
believed by the people of jamestown

How 10 Ten Counterfeits.

Aay visitor to the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing where Uncle Sam is
printing the much sought-after green
backs, comes away impressed with the
intricacies Of the manufacturing OF
PAPER note. Few, indeed, understand
the rule of four adopted by the Govern
ment as an aid In thwarting the plans
of counterfeiters. Acquaintance with
the rule of four, might help many peo-
pie of the outside world in detecting
counterfeit money. Every note printed
bv the Government national currency
and not bank notes-contains a number
and d letter, no two bills having the
same number. These are printed, as
the visitor can see, in the blocks OF
four as they leave the plate printer
table. For instance, a number VIII pc
found on a note, 58,3S3 with the letter
G In the upper left hand and lower
right hand corners another bill bears
the number 790S8 d; another 1866 u.
These numbers and letters have re-
lation for each other and are easily de-
termined. The last two numbers on
the note determine, when divided by
four. the letter to be found in the two
corners Should the last two numbers
- AivAible by four. with a remainder
of one. the letter appearing should be
A: If two remain. B IL three remain,

mainder, the letter appearing should

STOP LAED-GRABBING.
THE DUTY OF CONGRESS- rs TO
AMEND F4ULTY and AKTT-
QUATED LAND LAWS.

President HiII.of the Great Northern
Railroad, Calls Attention to Enor-
NOUS Dispoaais OF Government
Land Without Settlement Into
Homes.
From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
There will be people ill.natured
enough to charge that President Hill,
of the Great Northern Railway, did
not come into court with entirely clean
hands IN the vigorous denunciation Of
the land-grabbers contained in his re-
cent speed before the National Irriga-
ton Congress at Portland. This, how
ever, does not necessarily detract from
the truth Of his charges. Perhaps few
men in the country are better qualified
to speak upon the blighting effects Of
the dishonest policy which has appro-
priated millions Of acres Of valuable
lands, only TO exclude from them the
actual settlers who would have devel-
oped them.
President Hill is a railroad manager,
and railroads depend for profit upon q
traffic afforded by a populous and Well
cultivated country. A railroad ttend-
ing through territory without farms or
farmers, towns or industrial communi-
ties must suffer serious disadvantages.
Where great tracts of land are owned
and controlled by mere spectators, de-
yelopment is impossible. 1t is very
likely that President Hill spoke oy the
card when he charged that those who
go upon Government land at this time
for the purpose of making homes are
only a handful.
Rapid DisposaIs of Public Lands.
His figures, showing the rapid in
crease in area of public lands which
have passed into private ownership
since 1898, possess a significance that
is startling. Nearly 100000 acres, q
total area equal to three times that Of
the State of Pennsylvania, have been
awarded to private owners in the SIX
years from 1898 to 1903, inclusive, very
little of which-according TO President
Hill-has become the property OF home
stead seekers. The bulk Of it has be-
come the holdings of the lumber kings,
cattle barons, and spectators pSre and
simple. 1t is evident that there are
more men who deserve the penalties or
the law which have lately been inflicted
upon Senator Mitchell, of Oregon.
The duty of Congress in this connec-
tion is unmistaxable. The laws under
which this vast domain has been Sc
cured by private interests with no In
tention of opening 1t to development
should be repealed or amended to pre-
vent any further footing OF the pubic
lands.

Toothache or appendicitis ?

A movement looking to the better
care Of children is spreading. 1t Is
proposed now that the tooth brush
driil be part OF the curriculum Of
our schools, and that dentists should
visit regularly the children attending
them. Doctors have spoken very
strongly on the usefulness Of taking
tonics and similar medicines In order
to promote better digestion, or to
purify the blood, when a constant
system OF poisoning is going on In the
mouth. It is claimed that much poor
blood and weakness in children comes
from dental decay. A noted physician
declares that appendicitis Is caused by
bad teeth. Take your chOice-either
have your teeth extracted or your ap'
pendix cut out. The doctors get you
either way, going or coming.
