Washington, naturally his address to
the bankers yesterday drifted into this
channel. Secretary Shaw was the
first man in a public place to suggest
the maximum and minimum tariff
scheme of meeting such a condition
as has arisen with respect to Germany,
and the President, of course, stands
for the idea.
i have head it intimated," said the
secretary, that an amendment to our
present tariff laws is likely to be prof.
posed at the next session (but with
what prospect of passage I cannot
say, substantially as follows:
BE it enacted, that whenever any
country grants to the people Of any
other country privileges within it's
markets which are withholden from
the people Of the United States, then

DIR. Miles Nervine Cured
Me.

When the nervous system has been Shat
tered by the use of deadly drugs there is
nothing to equal DR.. Miles Nervine in restor-
ing it to health and normal activity.
II feel so grateful for what Dr. Miles Re-
storative Nervine has done for me that
must tell it for that part of humanity that
suffers as | have. During the three years
l suffered from nervous prostration found
no relief except when doctors gave morphine.
To get rid of suffering took morphine my
self as it was the only thing that would give
ease, and now you, who point with scorn at
morphine using, how could you, when in
such agony, knowing II about the only thing
that would give relief, resist it1 ! knew il
was terrible habit and knew of its deadly
grasp, but never fully realized its signif
canoe until l had used It number ofmontLs.
Oh, the misery of being addicted to such
habit. / resolved then and there to quit it
and resolved l would never be a slave to any
such demon. About this time happened to
notice Dr. Miles Restorative Nervine adver-
tised and ordered bottle. After using FIVE
bottles / can truthfully say am cured of
using morphine. Now, however much per-
sons may doubt it, God is my witness am
cured. This testimonial is unsolicited but
feel 1t my duty to give it for the benefit of the
suffering. "-MArTIE PHILLIPS, Prescott, Ark.

Mr.. II. V. McChesney, in a witty
and pungent address, called forth
great applause, at the same time
telling many homely truths, which
added to his reputation as an after
dinner orator.
Mr.. ]. M. VanDerveer added to
his reputation by several delightful
solos, closing with "Jesus Lover
of Ny SOUL" arousing general and
generous applause.
Judge Thos. r. Phister, of Mays
vile, who was a special guest OF
the evening, made beautiful ad-
dress, which was thoroughly ell
joyed by the Elks present, as II
touched closely upon secret matters
as to which the uninitiated, OF
course, could only guess at the ap-
plication. 1t was greatly enjoyed.
At eleven O'clock" Judge j.
II. Polsgrove, in a few appropriate
words, paid tribute to the sick and
the departed of the Lodge.
A fitting climax tn the evening 4
fun and enjoyment was the address
of Hon. Eli H. Brown, the "Baby
Elk" The only having been an Elf
for few daysl. It was pithy and
to the point assuring the crowd
that it was not the only institution
which had "baby."
The big crowd departed at II sc
o'clock, having enjoyed every
moment of the evening.
The whole affair, which was
under the management of a com.
mittee composed of Messrs. Grant

from start TO finish, and has created

sired.

WIPING OUT THE DESERT.

1--WE have no useless American
acres" said Secretary Wilson in
speaking of the work of the de-
partment in introducing new
plants and improving methods of
agriculture. There are no bad
acres, we will make them all pro-
ductive. We have agricultural
explorers in every far corner of
the world, and they are finding
crops which have become so ac-
climated to dry conditions, SIM
liar to our own in the West, that
we will in time have plants thriv-
ing upon all our so-called desert
lands. We will cover this arid
area with plants of various sorts
which will yield hundreds of mil
lions of tons of additional forage
and grain for western flocks and
herds. Our farmers will grow
this upon land now considered
practically worthless.
A tireless activity is being dis
played by the Department in the
reclamation of great acres of the
Central West through the far
reaching work of our agricultural
explorers who are traversing lands
in the interests of the Americs n
farmer, especially the high, dry
plains and steppes of Central Asia
the Cradle of the World-where
agriculture reaches back from
history into dim tradition. The
activities of Mr.. Wilson's Depart
ment bode ill for the continuance
of any very great stretches of our
once limitless American Desert.
GIANT GOVERNMENT DAM
IN ARIZONA.
The government contractors
have begun work on the giant
Tonic dam in the Salt River VAL
ley. Already the government has
blasted out a mountain roadway
along the precipitate shelves of
the canyon and has constructed
it's cement mill and its big power
plant, utilizing the energy of the
stream itself wherewith to grind
the 100000 barrels of cement
necessary to build the enormous
edifice, a work of solid masonry.
This dam is to be 280 feet high
and 200, feet thick and to cost
$3,5O0,0O0. 1t will form the
greatest artificial lake in the
United States and will irrigate
something like 100000 acres of
deep and fertile soil. The condi-
tions are described@by the en-
gineers as ideal for dam building.
The towering perpendicular walls
of the narrow box canyon, at the
bottom of which rushes the Salt
River, are of tough and enduring
sandstone, and this masonry
wedge will become in reality
part of the everlasting rocks which
it joins to hold back the torren-
tial floods of the Salt River.

IN RECEIVERS HANDS.
Mexican Plantation Scheme Comes Into
 the Courts.


 Indianapolis, April 3.--The Ubero Plantation Company was today tenn porarily placed in the hands of the Union Trust Company as receiver on a complaint which admits the solvency of the company, but alleges that exist ing conditions cause the concern to be unable to carry on the work of culti- vating it's property. The suit was brought by Charles P. Nordyke, the owner of eleven shares of stock.
 The complaint after asserting that the Ubero plantation companies fS solvent and has no outstanding obli- gations such as mortgages or bond,s s explains that the company had a con tract with the Mexican Traders Com pany of New York, the latter agreeing to cultivate the plantation of 6,000 acres on the isthmus of Tehuantepec, Mexico, for a period of years and to pay the Ubero plantation company an amount each year equal to a 10 per cent. dividend on the paid-up stock
 It is alleged that the Mexican Trad CTS Company failed to comply with It's contract after the first year and that last fall 1t declined to be held further and turned back to the Ubero Com. pany its plantation without paying the 10 per cent. dividend. The complaint declares that the Ubero Company was not financially prepared to operate the plantation.
