Something for Stone to Do.
Taking the estimated irrigable area
at 1861 900 acres, as accepted by the
state engineer, the cost of the irriga-
ton system is s1S.43 per acre. Let Mr..
Stone, or any other person, submit
these figures to those who have had
to do with similar large undertakings
and leave it to them to say whether
or not the estimates are fair. We must
have evidence and truth to establish
facts in matters of this kind, and Mr..
Stone is called upon to show by
engineering figures secured in any way
by a reliable man that the estimates
he quotes can be substantiated in any
way. He will find that a reputable
engineer will not rely wholly upon "a
very small boy with a very small pen.
Gil and a very small piece of paper"

Mr.. Stone does not seek the truth,
nor does he stay with the facts when
he obtains them, but by glittering
~generalities he seeks to play to the gal
leries. Thus far he has not made a
single point which will appeal to any
person who understands irrigation,
either from a practical or a theoretical
standpoint. His policy, if he could
carry it into effect, would be one of
destruction, and he adheres to it only
for the purpose of bleeding the settler

through his illness, and many of his
most intimate friends, including John
Dillon. Shortly before his death Fa-
Their Hatton had been with him. Mrs.
Davitt, who had been in constant at
TENDANCE on her husband until few
days ago, when she herself was taken
i'll, lay PROSTATE in the same hospital
too weak to leave her room.
Death was due to blood poisoning
which followed two operations for ne
crosis of the iawbone and spread SO
rapidly that all efforts to stay its
course were unayailing. Mr.. Davitts
illness began with an insidious attack
CT toothache to which he paid no at
tention until John Dillon urged him
to have recourse to medical advice.
For some time there were hopes for
his recovery, but the state of his
health, which was undermined by ex-
ertions at the recent general elections,
greatly handicapped his progress.

PADEREWSK'S SELLBoY.
Musical Youth Made Hit with the
Great Pianist by Playing
His "Minuet"

Rosamond Johnson, of Cole & John
son, composers of that once popular
song, Under the Bamboo Tree once
held position as bellboy in Young's
hotel in Boston. This place, says Sue
cess Magazine, he once nearly lost,
through taking the liberty of playing
Paderewski's "Minuet" for the great
pianist. Paderewski, who was stay
ing at that hotel, had rung for a bell
boy, and young Johnson answered the
call.
Being so fond of music, he made
bold to ask the great composer and
pianist to play the "Minuet" for him.
Paderewski could not understand Eng
fish then, and the boy thought from
his gesticulations that ne wished him
to play it. So he sat down at the
piano and commenced playing. Pad
erewski's manager happened to enter
the room just then, and, enraged at
the bellboy's presumption, threw him
out of the room and went directly to
the management and had him dis
charged.
AS soon as he learned what had
been done, Paderewski, who had been
pleased with the lads playing, sent
for the manager of the hotel and had
Johnson reinstated in his position.

Coffee Knitted an Old Soldier.

An old soldier, released from cof-

Il stuck to coffee for years, although
it knitted me again and again.
About eight years ago (as result.
of coffee drinking which congested my

attack of malarial fever.

start about my usual work only to suf-
fer relapse. After this had been
repeated several times during the year

1.-The Doctor said he had carefully
studied my case, and it was either quit
coffee or die, advising me to take Pos
tum in its place. had always thought
coffee one of my dearest friends, and
especially when sick, and l was very
much taken back by the Doctors deci-
sion, for l hadn't suspected the coffee
l drank could possibly cause my trou-
BILE.
l thought it over for a few minutes,
and finally told the Doctor l would
make the change. Postum was pro-
cured for me the same day and made
according to directions; we'll, l liked
it and stuck to it, and since then !
have been new man. The change in
health began in a few days and sur
prised me, and now, although l am
seventy-two years of age, 1 do lots of
hard work, and for the past month
have been teaming, driving sixteen
miles day besides loading and I'M
loading the wagon. That's what Pos
tum in the place of coffee has done
for me. l now like the Postum as well
as l did coffee.
Il have known people who did no.
care for Postum at first, but after hav-
ing learned TO make it properly accord
ing to directions they have come to
like it as well as coffee. I never miss

Committee AGAINST sMoor.
Unanimously of the Opinion That
Senate Should Vote ON Ques-
con This Session.

WASHINGTON, d. c. = That Reed
Smoot is not entitled to his seat in
the United States senate as senator
from Utah was the decision of the SEN
ate committee on privileges and cleo
lions, declared Friday by vote of
seven to five.
The decision was on Senator Du-
bois' resolution offered at the meeting
two weeks ago, which was carried by
Senators Burrows, Dolliver, Pettus,
Overman, Bailey and Dubois and
Frazier voting in the affirmative and
Senators Foraker, Dillingham;, Hopkins.
Beveridgc and Knox in the negative,
The vote of Senator Depew was not
cast Votes were had on the consti-
tutional questions of expulsion and
exclusion, after which the members
of the committee expressed themselves
in favor of a vote in the senate at the
present session OF congress.
The effect of the resolution adopted
will be to place squarely before the
senate the question whether Senator
Smoot shall continue in his seat and
leave to that body the decision as to
the method of procedure. A majority.
it is said, can declare that it is the
sense of the senate that Senator Smoot
be excluded and under the form of
the resolution proceed to unseat him
by that method.
Chairman Burrows, who will draft
he report, is of the opinion as is also
senator Dubois, who has directed the
fight against the Utah senator, that
the senate can decide for itself the
procedure and that if a majority says
to exclude, instead of expel, that will
be the method pursued. The report
under the instructions of the commit
tee will be ready to be offered to the
senate on next Friday. Chairman
Burrows and Senator Dubois express
themselves as confident that vote
will be had at the present session.
