1t requires very little capital to ac-
quire ownership in one of these irrigat-
ed farms. The land is open to entry
under the homestead laws. Practically
no charge is made, the homesteader
being required to pay to the govern
ment in ten annual installments the
actual pro rata cost of irrigation. He
must reside upon and improve his prop
erty for five years before getting IT,
tie, after which he may dispose of 1t
as he sees fit. On the basis of the
present compilation the cost will be
about SGT an acre.
The government officials have no
fear that the irrigated land will not be
taken up by homesteders. They fully

expect to sell all the land. No effort
will be made to realize a profit, the
idea being to recover the actual cost of
building and operating the irrigation
bitches. The proceeds from the sale
of these lands will be turned into the
reclamation fund, to be used for sim
liar work in new regions. The $27, 0OO,-
600 to complete the IA projects thus far
approved was realized through the sale
Of public lands in arid States and Ter
ritories since the adoption Of the irri-
CATION act In June, 1901. The actual
proceeds have been about $20,OOO,0OO,
but Secretary Hitchcock thinks he is
safe in mortgaging future receipts to
the extent of $7,000,000.

New plans for irrigatins arid lands

work which will require an outlay of
S27 100000 were submitted to him the
other day, and after devoting much
time to their consideration the Secre-
tary has approved them. The expendi-

only exhausts the fund now on hand
for enterprises of this kind, but mort
cages for several years to come all re-
ceipts for irrigation purposes.
Fourteen projects have been adopt
ed by Secretary Hitchcock, scattered
through as many States and Terrific

like 100000 acres OF land that is now
utterly worthless for grazing and agri-
cultural purposes will be converted

Industry is still maintaining posi-
ton of prominent activity, while dis
tributive trade for spring, not as yet
fully opened, lacks definite form in
some lines. Lumber is strong at higher
prices than last year. Early predic-
lions of small gain in gross railroad
earnings for the year 1904 over 1908,
the best hitherto reported, are confirm
ed by reports to Bradstreet's of frac-
ton of per cent increase for the last
10 months. December gross receipts
show a gain of per cent over 1903,
but for the first half of January the in
crease is considerably smaller than last
year.

SORES
Wheeling. W. Va, MAY 28. 1903

Wheeling, W. Va, May %, 1908.
Some years ago while at work, I fell
over truck and severely injured both
of my shins. My blood became poisoned
as a result, and the doctor told me I
would have running sores for life, and
that if they were healed up the result
would be fatal. Under this discouraging
report I left off their treatment and re-
sorted to the use of S. S. S. Its effects
were prompt and gratifying. 1t took
only short while for the medicine to en-
tirely cure up the sores, and L am not
dead as the doctors intimated, nor have
the sores ever broke out again. Some IL
years have elapsed since what have de-
scribed occurred. Having been SO signally
benefited by its use can heartily recon-
mend it as the one great blood purifier.
