ON THE WHOLE, CHEERFUL
The State Of Trade and Industry and
the Condition of Crops Ge1er-
ally Satisfactory.

New York.-Bradstreet's regular
weekly review says:
Settled, bright spring weather fav-
ors the passage of large quantities OF
products into final consumption, as
evidenced by the reports of expanded
retail trade, of enlarged jobbing re-
order business and of trade at first
hands in excess of the volume usual
at this season of the year. Reports
from the leading industries are of sus-
tanned great activity except in some
few divisions of the fuel and iron
trades, where strikes curtail opera
tons slightly. The crop situation is,
on the whole, quite cheerful, the only
drawback being the irregular distribu-
ton of rainfall in different districts.
Fall trade, as usual, waits on crop de-
velopment, but is of larger volume
than ordinarily at this season.

Select the Brush with Care, Consult
a Dentist Whenever Certain
Symptoms Appear.

So many people show little discrim-
ination in the choice of tooth brushes.
1t is equally wrong to have them too
soft or too hard. This ought to be as
c%ertainable by the touch, and they
should not be used for any length of
time, but at once discarded. Cheap
brushes with which the market Is now
flooded are an abomination, for the
hairs are sure to come out and lodge
between the teeth, causing much dis
comfort, and, moreover, the bristles
are often secured in such a way with
wire that it becomes ~dislodged, and
pricks the gums. Teeth should always
be closely watched, and If the gums
recede or any decay is perceived, re-
course should be had at once to a
dentist, for in dentistry a stitch in
time does not save nine but ninety.
Once let decay get any deep hold little
can be done, but 1t is easy to arrest 1t
at the beginning.
Parents cannot be too careful In In
stilling into their children early the
necessity of care and attention to the
teeth. 1t seems quite a weakness in
the young to shirk tooth cleaning, and,
moreover, mothers should watch the

vides the watersheds of the Gunnison
and Uncompahgre rivers.
The Uncompahgre valley, which is
to be made fertile by the waters of
the Gunnison river, comprises parts
Of Curay, Montrose and Delta
ties. 1t has q general elevation above
5000 feet. Most of the land under
the government project is in private
ownership, the cultivated areas being
largely in orchards, alfalfa, and
grain. The well.watered orchard
lands in bearing are easily worth
$500 per acre, and this fruit has a
ready sale in the Eastern markets of
the United States and in Europe
The tunnel, which will be cement
lined, will have a carrying capacity
of 1900 cubic feet a second, and will
connect directly with a. elaborate
system of canals and bitches, extend
ing down the valley on both sides of
the river. Owing to the failure Of
the contractors, the government is
now constructing the tunnel under
force account, and expects to have
the work completed and in opera
ton in the spring of 1908.
The completion of this work will
add 1000 homes to the Uncompahgre
valley, and will increase the taxable
wealth of Colorado by not less than
$40, 900, 900. The estimated cost Of
the whole project is approximately
50, 500, 900, which sum must be re-
turned to the government In not less
than ten years after completion by
the owners of the lands which are to
be irrigated.

WHAT SURVEY FOR GUNNISON
TUNNEL HAS COST.
Government Employees Enter Canyon
5000 Feet Deep from Which No
One Had Ever Before Re-
turned Alive.

The story of the survey for
Gunnison tunnel Is one replete with
thrilling inc 'ents and hair-breadth
escapes which shows what govern
ment employees are called upon to en-
dure in carrying out the great projects
for the reclamation OF some OF the
western arid lands. A. l.. Fellows
and J.. w. Mcconnell, members OF the
reclamation service of the govern
ment, are the heroes.
When the order came from Wash
ington to the resident engineer OF the
reclamation service at Denver, a
ing as follows: advise me II 1t Is
feasible to divert Gunnison to I'm

| neer." Fellows set his square jaw,
quietly made his preparations, took
along one assistant, and went survey
ing down Gunnison canyon.
No a SO far as known, had ever
| gone through the canyon alive. Stout
ly built RATS of logs launched at h
head of the canyon had emerged at

wood. 1t was popular belief that no
man could go down the canyon and
live to tell of his experiences.
With their instruments and provl-
| sions on an inflated rubber mattress,
Fellows and his companion set forth
on their expedition. There was hard
ly an hour of the time they were in
the canyon that their lives were not
in deadly peril; there was not a min
| ute that was not filled with heart
breaking ha%rdships. 1t all ended by
| Fellows and his companion saving two
| things-their lives and their note
books. Everything else went down
with the flood. When the men emerged
| at the Devils Slide, weary, bruised,
and bleeding, friends who had been
waiting to pick up their mangled
bodies hailed them as if they had re-
turned from the dead.
When Fellows sem his report to
| Washington there was in it no word of
the perils and ~hardships of survey
work in a roaring canyon. 1t was
brief and to the point: "Gunnison
tunnel project is feasible"
Soon the order zane from Wash
ington: Complete surveys for con-
struction."
The next man on the scene was j.
w. Mcconnell, now constructing en-
gineer of the Gunnison tunnel.
About two miles. or a little more
than one-third, of the great Gunnison
tunnel has now been completed. Night

queried Jessie, her dimples playing

at me.

"a girl does need n r two dainty

who is growing up takes a little time
now and then to bestow attention on
the laundress who has to wash and
iron the dainty muslins that are so
elaborate and SO beautifully finished
with lace edges and delicate en-
broideries.

No young girl has the slightest oc-
casion to worry about her figure If
only she has a dress that fits her
comfortably, if she stands up straight
throwing back her shoulders and hold
ing UP her head. The figure will take
care Of itself. Health is the great
beautifer and sensible dress is for
young people its best ally.
Fortunately for young girls, there is
no question about the length of their
skirts. for everyday wear frocks
that reach the ankle, are comfortable
and insure ease in walking, and i'm
munity from contact with mud and
dirt. For functions such as Jessie re-
ferred to in her naive question about
receptions and Sunday evenings, a
girls best gown while she is in her
teens may be instep length. Girls
never wear trailing skirts in these
days. An excellent adjunct to clean
illness, comfort and health Is a whisk
broom or a clothes-brush s%crupulous-
ly used every time a dress is taken of.
If we would carefully brush our
clothes and shake them out of an open
window before hanging them in clos
cts or wardrobes, we should rid our
selves of the danger of germs that
may have lurked in outside dust.
Girls should be grateful that their
lot is cast in the twentieth century.
An eighteenth century girl, or one born
in the early nineteenth, wore a short
WASTED frock with the skirt beginning
under the arm-pits. 1t was of cling
ing stuff and swept the floor as she
walked. Her shoes were thin SLIP
pers without heels held on by strings
crossed over the instep and around the
ankles. On her head she often wore
a construction of muslin and wire that
was half turban and half cap. Hell
sleeves were short and her dresses
half low at the neck, as a rule. DO you
not think that you are much better
dressed than she was, both for health
and beauty?

The woman who stands well must

ing upon the balls of the feet; she
must learn that the chin should be
held up and the head a little back;
and that the hands should be main
tanned in some easy, conventional atti-
tude. When she has learned these
things she can stand well. But to be
seated well is another matter.
