Yast Snm For Reclamation.

Washington, July 1.-THE half cen.
tury mark is gradually being attained
by the national reclamation fund. To.
day, upon close study of his books, an
official at the interjcr department an,
nounced that the fund had reached
the enormous total of 1887, 076, ,000
About 55, 800, 600 wPs added to the
fund during the fiscal year ended
June 30 from the sale of public lands.
Asked to explain the increase over
last year this official said:
"Ihe department has restored to
entry over 1000, 600 pcres of lend that
had been withdrawn from entry under
the reclamation act tor examination.
AS soon as u project is declared un'
feasible the land is restored to entry.
In that way much land has been
thrown open to the homeseeker and
many dollars added to the reclama-
tion fond.
"There is an expected balance OF
little more than 81, 600 in the
fund, but, according to my informant,
no new projects will be taken up for
the time being indeed, not until the
returns are received from some of the
projects in Arizona, New Mexico and
Nevada, that ale about completed. "
Another source of great worry to
the reclamation service has been the
labor problem, according to this
official. Wages are high and labor is
scarce. This combination, it is said,
has used the department to revise a
few of It's estimates in EUilding irri.
CATION projects in the west. Should
this situation continue much longer
it is feared that work under the Carey
act will come to a standstill in few
more years.

cures the backache, periodical headaches,
the dragging down distress in the pelvic

pelvic catarrhal drain, so disagreeable
and weakening, and overcomes every

the strongest possible endorsement OF
the most eminent medical practitioners

through druggists, which does not con-
tain q large percentage of alcohol, so
harmful in the long run, especially to
delicate women. 1t has more genuine
cures TO its credit than all other medi-
cines for women combined, having
saved thousands OF sufferers from the
operating table and the surgeons knife.
1t has restored delicate, weak women to
strong and vigorous health and virility,
making motherhood possible, where there
was barrennesS before, thereby brighten
