Cuban Diarrl1oea

U. s. soldiers who served in Cuba during the Spanish war know what this disease is, and that ordinary remedies have little more effect than so much water. Cuban diarrhoea is almost as severe and dangerous as mild attack of cholera. There is one remedy, how ever, that can always be depended upon as will be seen by the following certificate from Mrs. Minnie Jacobs of Houston, Texas: 'I hereby certify that Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy cured my husband of severe attack of Cuban diarrhoea which he brought home from Cuba. We had several doctors but they did him no good. One bottle of this remedy cured him, as our neighbors will testify. l thank God for so vaua ble medicine" For sale by all dealers.

Hubbard Before Supervisors

At this months meeting of the board of supervisors several important matters are to come up for consideration. One will be the application of R. c. Hub bard for permission to put in turbines at the entrance to False bay for the purpose of generating electric power. MT. Hubbard is working OH a similar scheme in the Imperial Valley, where he proposes to operate an electric rail way system by means of the power that he generates. The plan is to put in car system that will take in all the towns in the Valley. Hubbard's ap- plication was in last month, but there was some flaw in it which he was asked to correct.-Union.
 It is news to learn that Mir. Hubbard has his eye on the electric railway business of this Valley, but it is not to be wondered at, for with the growth of settlement and development of busi- ness this kind of transportation will inevitably be in great demand.

Tore Streams to be Mea~nred

Streamgauging work in California during the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1905, will be carried on by the United States reclamation service in co-opera- tion with the state along the same lines as during the last two years. num- Der of gauging stations will be added to those already maintained throughout the state, and it is proposed to establish a number of gauging stations on numer- ous small streams in the Sacramento river basin in connection with the reclamation work in the Sacramento valley.
 At present gauging stations are maintained on streams which control 8l per cent of the total watershed of the Sacramento river basin. In order to increase this percentage and more accurately estimate the maximum flood flow, gauging stations will be establish ei on the following streams: Puta creek at Winters; Thomas creek, near Hen leyville; Antelope creek, near Red Bluff; Mill creek, near Tehama; Deer creek, near Vina; Chico creek, near Chico; Butte creek, near Chico.
 With the addition of these stations it is thought that practically the total flood discharge into the Sacramento valley can be estimated. Stream gaug-. ing is being carried on on Pit river and tributaries, in the Owens valley, on Colorado river and canals near Yuma, and numerous canals in the Imperial Valley by the reclamation service. Measurements on a number of streams of minor importance or where snfficlent data are already recorded, will be dis continued at the end of the calendar year-Express.

Ellis Purchases Cotton News

James G. Ellis, formerly editor and manager of the PRESS, is in the harness again, having purchased the Colton News from Willard Beebe. We are in- formed that it is Mir. Ellis intention to issue a daily edition of the News and that he has reduced the subscription price of the weekly to one dollar per year. The people of Colt"n are to be congratulated on Mir. Ellis enterprise but they must support the new venture liberally. Such a paper as the News cannot be published for one dollar a year, the paper alone will cost more than that amount. We wish Mir. Ellis every success in his new venture.

Bids on Yuma Project

Bids for the construction of the Lac guna dam and sluiceways, known among government officials as the Yuma project, were opened at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon by Supervising Engineer J. B. Lippincott of the Geo. logical Survey at his office in the Braly building. These bids are eight, as follows:
 N. $. Sherman Machinery Company, Oklahoma City, Okla, $l,030, 1l75O; Pacific Construction Company, San Francisco, $S66,56O; Faris-Kesl Con- struction Company, Ltd, Boise. Idaho, $862,O00; Cotton Bros., x Co.,, Oakland, Cal, $S47 1875; City Street Improve ment Company, Inc, San Francisco, $829, 9,5l9.5O; P. Mcdonnell, Duluth, Minn., $S23 ,660; Burrel Construction Company, Oakland, Cal., $799,55O J. G. White & Co.,, Inc, New York, $797 $50.
 The last quoted bid is the lowest of tine eight, and is $232, ,467 30 lower than the highest. The report of the bids given out to the newspapers from En- gineer Lippincott's office states that "J. G. White x Co. is one of the strong est and most experienced contracting firms in the United States"
 This was the second opening of bids for the Yuma project. Bids were called for on the 18th of last March. This was the time of extensive washOuts on the western railroads, with resultant delays in mails. These delays caused five bids to reach the office of the super vising engineer too late for opening, and the AttorneyGeneral ruled that they could not be considered. The Sec retary of the Interior therefore directed a readvertisement for bids for June 5, with Mondays result.
 The awarding of the big contract lies with the Secretary of the Interior.- Times.
 At the bidding on this contract March 18th the lowest bid was that of Orman & Crook, of Pueblo, Colorado, 1885, $50, so that Uncle Sam has made $38, ,000 by readvertising.
