high LINE CANAL" IN
WYOMING A BIG PROJECT
Dam, It Is Said, Will Be the Highest
Known-Two Miles Of Tunnel Thru
Granite.

Belle Fourche, s. D., April I'm con-
nection with the irrigation scheme near
this city, news from the great Shoshone
project in Wyoming is especially inter-
esting. The government is about to let
contracts for the, construction of the
HHigh Line Canal' in connection with
the irrigation project in Big Horn
county, Wyoming.
The construction of the big reservoir
at Shoshone involves the erection of
the highest dam in the world. This
engineering feat, however, will be
equalled by the work of boring the
great. diversion tunnel which will go
thru the Rattlesnake mountains to carry
water from the reservoir into the lands
north of Cody. This tunnel viii be cut
thru solid granite for over two miles.
Reclamation engineers say the work
will require several years and that the
construction of this tunnel viii cost
over 81 ,000,0 900.

suit Of the decision of the supreme
court Of the United States, upholding
the constitutionality Of Michigan's ad

cover $5, 060,608 from various railroad
companies, this sum representing the
balance between the amount. due accord
ing to the ad valorem rate and that on
the gross earnings basis Of taxation, in
effect before the present law was en-
acted. In addition, the taxes for 1905.
which must now also be paid under the
new law, amount to $3,527,059 making
a grand total of overs 900 900.
The schools OF Michigan will be

estimate that the primary school fund
will be increased nearly one-third nv

continual scarcity of funds, the appor.

when the back taxes are paid will be of
decided benefit to. the small schools.
It is likely that the entire amount

A KENTUCKY WOMAN
How She Gained Fifteen Pounds in
Weight and Became Well by Taking
Or. Williams Pink Pills.

Women at forty, or thereabouts, have
their future III their own hands. There
will be a change for the better or worse,
for the better if the system is purified by
such a tonic as DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs. ID. q. Wedding, of Hartford, KY,
writes as follows concerning the diff
culties which afflicted her:
- was seriously i'll and was confined
to my bed for six or eight mouths in all,
during two years. l had chills, fever,
rheumatism. My stomach seemed al
ways too full, my kidneys did not act
freely, my liver was inactive, my heart
beat was very weak and / had dizziness
or swimming i'll my head and nervous
troubles.
81 was under the treatment of several
different physicians but they all failed
to do me amy good. After suffering for
two years l learned from an Arkansas
friend about the merits of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills and / decided that l would
try them. The very first box l took
made me feel better and when I had
taken four boxes more was entirely well,
weighed fifteen pounds more than when
l began, resumed my household duties,
and have since continued in the best Of
health. l have recommended DIR. vii.
hams Pink Pills to mans people Dill ac-
count of what they did for me, and ! feel
that cannot praise them too strongly"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills restored Mrs.
Wedding to health because they actually
make new blood and when the blood is
in full vigor every function Of the body
is restored, because the blood carries to
every organ, every muscle, every nerve,
the necessary ourishment. Any roman
who is interested III the cure of Mrs. We'd
ding will want our book, ''Plain Talks to
Women" which is free on request.
