This is one of the principal points
that has inspired confidence in
Kennewick. Our sc miles of canal
is owned and operated by the
Northern Pacific railroad company
who put in the canal not as a direct
money making proposition, but for
the purpose of developing this val
ley, that business might be gained
fo1 the road. The canal has al
ready cost more than the company
can ever get out of it directly, but
that it is a good investmant is evil
denced by the fact that the bust
ness transacted at this station now
averages over $4,000 a month
more than it did before the canal
was built. So we say in conclusion
before you invest in irrigated lands
investigate the stability of the
proposition.

We do not wish to cast any
doubts in the minds of people who
contemplate settling in this country
on the general principal of irrigat-
ion, but we would like to say
word that may save some who, not
familiar with the system, may be
led into making investments that
will not turn out as nicely as the
prospectuses say the will. Irrigat-
ion is in our opinion the safest and
most economical system Of farming.
When farm is under a good irri-
eating canal its owner alone con-
trolls the water supply and can have
as much or as little moisture as he
desires, and just when he desires
it. He does not have to keep a
Hicks almanac and a barometer,
and contract nervous pros.ration

weather, In most of the irrigated
sections sunshine is at discount
during the growing season and
with a reliable irrigating canal the
growing proposition is settled. But

prospective buyer of land should

DIET IS DISSOLVED.
Austrian Emperor Makes a Speech
From the Throne.

Budapest, Hungary, jan 4.-The king
emperor, F'rancis-Joseph, formally dis
solved the diet today in a speech from
the throne dealing with the parliament
tary situation. The speech said:
THE experiences of the recent past
determined a large part of the cham
Der of deputies to place on the order of
the day the question of a reform in the
standing orders. The conflicts arising
therefrom, however, created a situa-
ton of such a critical character that we
can no longer hope for the re-establish-
ment of the working capability of the
present diet. In view of this fact we
consider it our constitutional duty to
afford the nation an opportunity for de-
claring its attitude. We do so with full
confidence in the devotion of the nation
in its constitutional Institutions and it's
innate political wisdom. The harmony
between the king and the nation and
their mutual confidence have eSta bliSh-
ed conditions of undisturbed constitu-
tiOnal life and the undiSturbed, success
full working of the free institutions Of
the nation has in the past rendered a
beneficent period of peaceful develop
ment possible. If now the working of
these institutions encounter obstacles
on international grounds it is incun-
bent on the nation to manifest its will.
For these reasons We have on the pro-
posal of our government decided on the

6-inch galvanized iron castings are
sunk to depth of 20 feet to act as

The pumping plant easily delivers
5000 gallons of water per minute into

the capacity of the we'll is only about
1000 gallons per minute. 1t is Mr.
Holcomb's intention to extend his well
farther southwark until the supply is
ample for the capacity or the pump,
and in this there is little doubt but
that the well will be successful. He
owns 1000 acres of land, the most of
which he expects to irrigate from this
plant.
The pumping plant and well have
cost over $1,000 already. but if he in
creases the value of his $40 land up
to 500 per acre the profits on even
500 acres will have paid for his irri-
cation plant five times over.

Peruna is their safeguard 1t is the
only remedy yet devised that entirely
meets these cases.
Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in so many homes is
that it contains no narcotics of any
kind. Peruna is perfectly harmless.
It can be used any length of time
without acquiring a drug habit Pc
runa does not produce temporary re-
suits. 1t is permanent in its effect
1t has no bad effect upon the sys-
tenn, and gradually eliminates ca
tarrh by removing the cause of ca
tarrh. There are a multitude of
homes where Peruna has been used
off and on for twenty years. Such a
thing would not be possible if Peruna
contained any drugs of a narcotic

WHY TRAINS ARE LATE.
Rock Island Inspector Investigating
Conditions in New Mexico.

1t was reported on good authority
that an inspector for the Rock Island
system has been sent out by the head
reason the train from the east is
always late, says the Ell Paso Herald.
That it is usually late no one will
deny and the fact that the matter is
to be investigated is a source of much
qualification to the officials of the
Northeastern, because in the minds of
some that part of the system has been
receiving the blame for the lateness
when as a matter of fact the North
eastern frequently makes up some of
the lost time that had in reality been
lost long before the train ever reaches
that road. It is said that the report
of the inspector will have great weight
in changing existing conditions so
that trains may be run through on
schedule time.

STRANGER THAN FICTION.
A Remedy Which Has RevOlutionized

a Remedy Which Has Revolutionized
the Treatment of Stomach Troubles
The remedy is not heralded as a Won
derful discovery nor yet secret patent
medicine, neither is it claimed to cure
anything except dyspepsia, indigestion
and stomach troubles with which nine
out of ten suffer.
The remedy is in the form of pleasant
tasting tablets or IoZenges, containing
vegetable and fruit essences, pure aSep-
tic pepsin government test,) golden
seal and diastase- The tablets are sold
nv druggists under the name of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets. Many inter
esting experiments to test the digestive
power of Stuart'S Tablets snow that
one grain of the active pr1nclple con-
tanned in them is sufficient to thorough
" digest 3. 900 grains of raw meat, eggs
and other wholesome food.
Stuart's Tablets do not act upon the
bowels like after dinner pills and cheap
catharctics. which simply irritate and
indalne the intestineS without having
any effect whatever in digestlng 1000 OF
curing indigestion.
IF the stomach can be rested and as
sisted in the work OF digestion it will
very soon recover its normal Vlgor, as
no organ is so much abused and over
worked as the stomach.
This is the secret, II there IS any Sc
cret of the remarkable success OF Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets, remedy prac-
tically unknown a few years ago and
now the most widely known OF any
treatment for stomach weakness.
This success has been secured entire
