Millions Of Dollars.

Millions Of Dollars
At last public interest In the state
of Washington in government irriga-
tion. which has been too long apath-
etc, is becoming stirred. AS the facts
sink into the public mind. II is real.
ICED that the interests OF Washington
and Oregon have been wOefully neg.
lected.
Under the irrigation act. the pro-
ceeds from the sales OF public lands In
l6 western states and territories are
set aside as a government fund for the
reclamation OF the arid lands Of those
states and territories That fund now
exceeds $27. 100000 and 1t is a deplor-
able fact that while the states of Ore
gOn, Washington and North Dakota
contributed in round numbers $4,000
900 of the $27, 600. OOO, not a dollar has
been expended on government projects
within these three states.
The state OF Washington has CON
tributed about $1,000. 900, Oregon near
ly $4,000. 900. North Dakota about $4,-
100000, and 40 per cent Of the So, 1000.
900 from It's state has been with
drawn already and applied to irriga-
ton projects in other states.
And this Notwithstanding expert in
vestigation has shown that in eastern
Washington alone are 100000 acres
OF irrigable lands which can be put
under ditch. The great Big Bend
project alone would reclaim about
!. 900. 900 acres. The scheme for i'm
pounding the headwaters OF the Yak
ina river would reclaim about 100000
acres more. The impounding OF the
waters OF the Falouse river in Wash
tucna coulee would reclaim 100000
acres of the finest soil in all the west
AS much more land can be reclaimed
by diversion of the waters OF the Co
lumbia at Priest Rapids. The Okan-
ogan country has a meritorious pro
ject OF 1900 acres. and what is call
ed the Kittitas project would reclaim
10000 acres

EXPECTED DEMONSTRATIONS DID
NOT OCCUR LAST SUNDAY.
Order Relgned Generally Throughout
Entire Extent Of Russla-Strong

st. Petersburg, May 16.-The wide
" heralded May day demonstrations
in st. Petersburg were a complete
iasco, and reports from Moscow and
the provinces indicate that order
reigned on Sunday generally through
out the entire extent of Russia. Minor
disorders are reported at Reval,
Kishinelf and one or two other places,
but up to midnight no reports of seri-
GUS tumults or loss Of life have been
received. and the attempt Of the social
democrats and social revolutiOnists to
signalize May day by great antigov-
eminent demonstrations appears to
have been thorough failure.
In St. Petersburg the day was pass
ed in almost perfect quiet. and happily
without drop Of blood being shed.
The advertised meetings Of the so
eialists were attended chiefly by spec
tators. Governor General Trepon
handled the situation firmly. but with
q view TO avoiding collisions. and
made his dispositions skilfully. Squads
OF Cossacks patrolled the streets. re-
serves being held out of sight in court
yards, but there was no occasion to

More or less tension and agitation
were apparent in the streets in the in

sacks with whips in their hands, but
otherwise the city wore almost a nor
NAL appearance. The weather. which
was cold and raw. perhaps acted rs

Birth in the past and for the possibilities
for the order in the future
Congregation Beth Israel OF New Orleans
has issued an appeal to all the Jews, "ortho-
dox and reform alike" of that city, to assist
them to build house of worship. Five
thousand dollars has already been sub
scribed. Beth Israel is orthodox congrega-
tion and for years has contented itself with
assembly rooms wherein devotional exer-
cises were held. Lately they have secured
a magnificent building for a synagogue and
to meet the obligations assumed they appeal
to the Jews to help them
The annual report of Mount Zion Hos
ptal, San Francisco, shows total receipts of
$23,4O1.12 and disbursements 3,3S3.11.
Five hundred patients were treated during
the year.
The board of directors of the Hebrew
Sheltering Guardian Society of New York
held a meeting last Sunday morning for the
purpose of considering the question of build
ing new home. The institution is sadly
in need of a new building as it has out
grown it's present quarters During the dis
cussion the newly-elected president, Mr..
Adolph Lewisohn asked how much had al
ready been raised, and when told that the
sum was 100000, offered gift of $4,000 on
condition that $15O,000 additional be raised
by the board within year. It is the inten-
tion of the society to erect the new institu-
tion on the cottage plan.
At the instance of a number of rabbis of
New York City, headed by Chief Rabbi David
Ridvas, a central committee has been formed
for the purpose of collecting funds which are
to be devoted to the care of immigrants,
practically the Jewish reservsts from Rus
sia. Within the past month no less than
5000 refugees from Russia have passed
through the home of the aged on East Broad
way, and the Hebrew Emigrant Aid Society.
1t is proposed to establish an employment
bureau and provide these immigrants and
others who may come here with sufficient
means to help them along until they obtain
work. A couple of thousand dollars have
been already collected, and an appeal has
been issued to all congregations throughout
the country.

We have sold groceries to thousands and
have built up good reputation and great
business in doing it. The plan we have fol-
lowed has been very simple. We have sold
the best class of goods at prices that were
lower than anybody else could possibly make
them, but we have never sought to fit the
goods to the price. We have gone upon the
principle that it is better to sell one dollars
worth of groceries and have them salts
factory that the customer will come back
than to sell ten dollars worth, and never see
the customer again.
That is the open secret of our success.
