gate tle first and second class land that
would come under the canal, besides the
percentage that must be allowed for
loss in transmission.
This would have its intake upon the
left bank of Naches river, the headworks
being located about three and one half
miles below the mouth of Tietan river,
in section 5, township IA, north, range
IL east. This proposed canal was orig
inally surveyed by Mr. II. X. Owens in
1895, under the direction of the state arid
land commission.
The canal for the first Is miles would
follow along the southern slope of the
ridge separating the Naches form We
mas valley; thence it would pass to the
northern slope of the same ridge and
continue to the lS mile mark, where at
Selah or north Gap, it would cross Yak
ina river by large inverted siphon. AZ
ter crossing Yakima river the proposed
canal would circle around Mckee valley
to point in section 10, township IL
north, range 81 east, where by tunnel
6lOO feet long it would pass to the south
of the Rattlesnake range.
In the pass between Mckee and Rattle
snake valleys a point exists sufficiently
low to conduct the water through with
out tunnelling. The calculations to de-
termine whether or not it would be less
expensive to tunnel or to conduct the
very large amount of water that will be
required through a distance of l3 miles
to avoid tunnelling have not been com
pleted. During nearly all of these thir-
teen miles good land is covered, but it
probably would be more economical to
cover this by means of a lateral of
smaller flow.
After passing to the south side of Rat
tlesnake mountains the canal continues
along that slope, covering large and
very fertile area of land lying above
the Sunnyside canal of the Washington
Irrigation company. At the eastern ex-
tremity of Rattlesnake mountains, about
six miles north of Kiona, it circles to
the north slope of these mountains and
commands an extremely large amount of
land lying between Columbia river and
Rattlesnake mountains, north of the
Yakima river. The soil is very deep
and would be extremely productive if
water should be applied to it.
The canal would terminate near CO.
lumbia river at the end of the l4O-mile
mark. All the land included under this
canal lies under the high line canal. 1t
would, however, be about 50 miles short
er, and probably has under it more land
for which water is available.
This proposed canal has the advantage
over the high line canal of the heading
in Naches river below the mouth of Ii
etan river, where there can be obtained
not only all the water that would be
available for the high line canal, but
at McAllister's Meadows on Tietan river
Under this canal there are 100000
acres of first and second class land. AL
lowing one cubic foot of water for l60
acres and Is per cent. for loss in trans
mission, 5000 second feet of water would
be required to irrigate all the land.
The average flow of Naches river into
the Yakima, after all the canals upon
the Nacnes and Tietan have been sat
isfed for the past five years, $500 to
1904, inclusive) during the irrigating
season has been as follows:

DIR. MEssING's ADDRESS.
He Pleases Greenville Audience With
 His Discourse.

Greenyille, March 29.-(Special.)-- Dr. A. J. Messing, of Montgomery, de- livered an able and beautiful address at the City Hall last evening. under the auspices of the Woman's Club. He was greeted by a wellfilled house of appreciative listeners. His theme was ''Woman,'' and daintily and beaut- fully he handled his subject. Dr. Messing has appeared before a Green vile audience on a previous occasion, and his admirers are numbered by all who have heard him on both occasions.
 The lecture last night was prefaced by a piano selection by Mrs. c. B. Gambel, vocal solo by Miss Porterfield and reading by Mrs. Hunter. Gussie Thompson, who enlisted several years ago in the United States army, was brought home several days ago in a very serious condition. In December he ran up long flight of stars, at the top made a misstep and fell, rolling down the entire length of the stairs. Since that time he has been in a hospital, but his condition continuing so serious he longed for home and was honorably discharged and sent back, a nurse accompanying him. His left arm and leg are para lyzed and emaciated and he is greatly changed from the buoyant young man who entered Uncle Sam's service. He resided in Montgomery a year or so before enlisting, and also at Birming- ham.
 R. A. Lee and family, who moved from this place to Coffee Springs, have returned to make this their home again.

Preserving Health and Beauty.
 Nearly everybody knows that char coal Is the safest and most efticieut disinfectant and purifier in nature. but few realize its value when taken into the human system for the same cleans Ing purpose.
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; it is not a drug at all. but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and car- ries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or eating onions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal efTectually clears and im- proves the complexion. 1t whitens the teeth and further acts as . natural and eminently safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; 1t disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh-
