The Oakland Tribune says, edltor-
tally: Hon. Thomas Fitch of Nevada
Utah, California, Arizona and HAWAII
has taken up the Owens river water
project on the tip of his tongue ana
inflated it with a mighty blast OF not
air The Owens river project could
have no more appropriate promoter
than the Honorable Tom, whose fancy
and eloduence linn every scheme IT

Enthusiastically one, we might say
but Mr.. Fitch has watered 1t with
Pierian springs and bespangled 1t VITA
the flowers OF rhetoric.
AT a Chamber of Commerce banquet
in Los Angeles, Mr.. Fitch, who gain
ed his first knowledge of irrigation
when he was trying to break into the
Senate from Utah in the palmy days
of Brigham Young, opened up on the
Owens river scheme in this forensic
ia shion:
THE scientists tell US that ages ago.

SILVER-TONGUED TOM FITCH
ON OWENS RIVER PROJECT

, when the ichthyosaurus swarmed in
Devonian seas, and the mastodon
| roamed in the antediiuvian forests OF
the Arctic, then the waters of Owens
river flowed into San Fernando val
ley But the surrounding mountains
W ere one day attacked by a japanese
iitsu wrestler of the period, a ruffianly
earthquake, which dislocated their ribs,
and as a result the river was expell-
ed from it's lawful bed, and forced to
take up with an uncongenial spouse,
now called Owens lake, in whose al
kaline arms it has ever since unhap-
PLY rested"
No wonder this was received with
applause and laughter; it is as rever-
beratory and harmless as a salvo from
the Ancient and Honorable Artillery
of Boston, whose gun practice is limit
ed 10 snapshots at close range from
pocket TASKS. But the Honorable Tom
proceeded-he always does. With "a
fine appreciation of the humor of the
thing, he said: 1T is a curious coin
cidence that the first point that will
be reached by the river in it's journey
hither is known by the uneuphonious
name of Jawbone Canyon" If uneu-
phonious in name Jawbone Canyon is
indeed an appropriate route for TAX
ing water from Owens river to Los
Angeles.
Mr. Fitch's genius did not stop here,
however. He drew Buckle and Draper
into the scheme along with the mas
todon and the earthquake, and the
Atlantic Coast from Bangor to Gal
weston. 1t was Jules Verne, Colonel
Sellers and the Conquest of Mexico all
rolled into one. 1t was as affluent as
the richness of his own opulent imag-
ination and as charged with running
water as the stream of his own elo-
quence. AS long as he spoke the flow
was copious, inexhaustible; even the
champagne glasses overflowed in their
enthusiasm over the pictures he drew
and the teeming treasures he exposed
to view at the end of his silver tipped
tongue. Moses was not circum-
stance as a water producer, and his
rod was nowhere beside the imple-
ment with which Fitch has unlocked
many a strong box and the enchanted
ears of millions of adoring listeners.
From Ell Paso to Death Valley, from
Pahranegat to Phoebe, he made the
desert bloom as a rose and filled it's
vacant vastness with swarming multi
tudes, hurrying commerce and a
luxuriant vegetation embracing every
growth under the sun from the ice
plant to the mint julep. Then he
launched into a eulogy of California
calculated to make John P. Irish's
necktie hide itself for shame and envy.
1t ran thus:
with that wealth of sea and shore,
of forest and mine, of field and or
chard did the Almighty endow this,
His favorite child? Here July suns
scorch not and January storms freeze
not. Overcoats are an incumbrance in
winter and fans an impertinence in
There was never a case of
sunstroke or of hydrophobia in Cali
fornia. Spring is too busy attending

TO her flowers to spread any lap for
bids winter to get any sleighbells
ready. Winter indeed exists only in
the almanacs and on the mountain
tops. The gardens of Los Angeles
know him not. Here nature arrays
herself always in lovely toilets and
the loveliest of all is her Easter gown
Acres of wild vioIets and fields of
scarlet poppies. Banks of lilies and
heliotrope. Hedges of roses. Orange
trees on which belated fruit and pear
ly~ blossoms may be plucked from the
same Dough. Forests of redwood and
pine in the mountains. Groves of oaks
in the valleys, and the bees humming
all the year round-thus attired does
beautiful and affluent California out
stretch her motherly arms to guard
the health and happiness of her chill
dren.'
At the close, he dropped like Silas
Wegg, into poetry. That is, he re-
cited some verses which he said was
poetry, but it sounded dull and COM
monplace beside the prose which pre-
ceded it. 1t was not merely a shower
of rhetoric, but a deluge. If Los An
geles does not get water from Owens
river after this-well, the Honorable
Tom Fitch's tongue has lost it's cum
ming. He certainly made Owens river
flow all over the Chamber of Com
merce banquet board, and that is prob
ably as near Los Angeles as it will
get for some time to come.

WILL SEND APRON
TO MRS, HARVEY

school fair is being managed by
Mrs. j. F. Harvey, of Milwaukee, and
she has written to Acting Governor
Atkinson to see if he will not send her
an apron to be worn by one of the
young women in charge of the Apron
Booth, at the fair, which booth is Mrs.
Harvey's especial interest. 1t is ex-
planned in the letter that the plan is
to have young women representing
the various states and territories wear
aprons emblematic of the several To-
calities.
And what the deuce is an apron?''
asked the Acting Governor. in all in
nocence, when he had read this COM
munication
He was enlightened later. There are
a lot of people in his circle who can
enlighten him. And the matter was
turned over to Mr.. Babbitt, who is a
married man and a master of school
masters, and misses and who might
naturally be supposed to be au fait
concerning aprons and things like that.
Superintendent Rabbit will look
among his school treasures for an
apron, and may send a lace one as an
advertisement of a Hawaiian indus
try. 1t would be a good scheme.

Restore Strength
AFTER THE GRIP AND WASTING
FEVERS THE BLOOD IS BAD.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills Actually Make
New Blood and Good Health
Follows.

The evil effects that follow many
{ wasting fevers. such as typhoid and
malaria, are caused by the bad condi-
ton in which these diseases leave the
blood. AS a result, the flesh continues
to fall away, the sufferer Hows ner-
vous and irritable, and even slight
exertion causes shortness of breath.
These are dangerous symptoms and
indicate that the system is in a state
that invites pneumonia, bronchitis or
even consumption. What is needed is
a new supply of rich, red blood to car
ry health and strength to every part
OF the body. Such a specific has been
been proven that DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People have accom-
plished this result.
81 was all run down from the effects
of the grip" says Mrs. Amelia Hall, of
No. High street, Norwich, Conn,
land could not seem to get strength
to walk; could not eat a full meal, my
stomach was so weak, and I was so
nervous that could not sleep. could
only stay in bed a few minutes at
time, either night or day. The least
little thing would startle me. I had
difficulty in breathing. had frequent
fainting spells and felt that every hour
would be my last.
MY general health was completely
wrecked and I had neuralgia and
rheumatic pains, dyspepsia, constipa-
ton, and female weakness. My physi-
clan attended me for the grip and
again for the condition that it left me
in. but / got no strength from the
tonics he prescribed. In fact, nothing
helped me Until 1 tried DR.. Williams
Pink Pills and they cured me.
Il grew stronger and gained flesh
from the time I began taking them. I
am satisfied that the pills are all that
is claimed for them and I shall always
do all I can to make their good quail
ties known"
DR. Williams Pink Pills are guaran-
teed to be free from stimulating or
harmful drugs of any description and
may be taken without fear of injury
to the most delicate system. They
quickly cure nervous disorders of every
kind check wasting diseases and build
up strength. At all druggists, or direct

ceipt of price, 80 cents per box, six

ing anything except at election

The News was the only paper
in the state that made editorial
mention of the fact that Nevada
had passed the list mile post on
her journey of progress and
prosperity. We claim no credit
for this. We had to fill in and
could think Of nothing else to
write about. and, as no one reads
this column except the members
of the Board Of County Commits
sioners, we were not particular
about the tilling.
Progressive West, in its Decem-
Der number, copied the article
without changing even Il comma.
The misguided editors of several
of the state papers copied the
article from Progressive West,
giving credit to that progressive
journal, and, so far as we have
seen. it was the only article
copied from that number.

GROWTH IS DUE
 TO INCREASED HELP.
New Addition to Upper Lowell Will Have Same Sanitary Advantages as Older Settle ment on Equal Terms.

Gerater Lowell-Greater Upper Low ellis a material thing. Yesterday Chief Engineer w. c. Mcbride of the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining Company, finished the work of survey ing and plating ninety additional lots to the settlement on the hill near the Lowell shaft of the compay These lots will be placed within the reach of the employees of the company and will be leased to them for the purpose of building homes thereon at nominal rental, in the same manner as were the lots in the older settlement dis. tributed.
 The only stipulation named in the companys condition is that the lessee of lots must be an employee of the company and a man of family who desires the lot to build on.
 Recent advantages in the way of fire water mains and sanitary arrange. ments will be included in the new ad, dition, and already wOrkmen have laid the water mains and laterals to be used for fire protection.
 The levy of 20 cents per room to cover the cost of maintaining better sanitary conditions will be imposed on owners nthe new addition. but the ground rent of 50 cents per month will be further added to this fund from the receipts of the company. The laying out Of the new addition is the direct result of an urgent neces | sity caused by the increased number | of men of families being employed il the mines of the company close to !, Lowell.
