The government has filed

The government has filed a petition of intervention in the suit between the state of Kansas and the state of Colorado over the ownership of the waters of the Arkansas river, which rises in Colorado and flows for 2S9 miles in that state, then enters Kansas and flows for BIO miles in that state until it enters Okla homa. The future of 15, GOO, ,O0O acres of once arid lands that have been reclaimed by irriga- tion and of fully 60,000, 900 acres of land in the arid region which the government proposes to re- claim, is bound up in the decis- ion of this case. Unless the su- preme court holds that the gov ernment's rights to the appro- priation of the waters of inter- state streams are superior to the rights of the state, it seems inev- itable that the reclamation act or irrigation law will become a dead letter.

$50, 900 For 5 Inches of Water.
Attorney General.

The Los Angeles Examiner says: Messrs. Bell & Moore have offered the city three inch es of water for the sum of $50, 900. This is the offer made:
 "We offer the city of Los An geles the water rights at the Bell ranch, two and a half miles be- low the city, for $50, ,OOO, S1O, 900 cash, the balance, S40,O0O, on fifty years time at 3 per cent per annum, payable quarterly. We think three inches of water can be developed by sinking two wells $50 feet deep, the city to pay for the same, the wells to be sixty feet apart and near a well that is now producing two inches of water"

Free Schools.

Less than two centuries ago no system of free schools was maintained anywhere on earth. Today there is no civilized coun- try on the face of the globe that does not possess its advantages.
 From Robert Raikes' first Sun day school, founded in 178O, the figures are now sublime.
 In the United States alone there are 450,00o public school teachers, with 16,oOO, 900 pupils! an army compared with which the host with which old King Xerxes invaded Greece was in significant.

Making It Right.

A good story is going the rounds of the offices of the Met ropolitan Street Railway com pany concerning the wonderful presence of mind displayed re- gently by @ new conductor on one of the company's trolley cars. This particular car was bowling up Fifth avenue recently when it was hailed and boarded by a company inspector.
 The official hurriedly counted the passengers in the car and found that there were nine. Then he cast his eye up to the register, which in these cars is fastened to the woodwork above the door, and found that there had been only eight fares rung up. He disclosed his identity to the new conductor and called at tention to the discrepancy.
 Slowly and painfully the new hand counted over his passen- gers and then scanned the regis. ter.
 "Begorra, an you're roight, sir,' he said, and promptly stopped the car. M
 Say he demanded, address. ing thepassengers in an author itative manner, wan 0, youse fellows1l have to git of the car. !" -Kansas City Journal.

New Rule on Desert Lands,

Absolute ownership, of all water rights is required before desert land entries can be proven up, according to a rule promul- gated by the general land office, which has resulted in the rejec- tion of numerous final proofs.
 "The claimant must be abso- lute owner of the water stock appurtenant to the land,'' said General Franck c. Prescott, reg ister of the land office here, to- day. "F'ive thousand dollars of stock hypotbecated for *5OO is an insufficient showing of recla- nation.
 Another drastic rule relative to desert land entries is that only the first blowing and breaking of the land is credited to the work of reclamation; subseduent culti- vation and crop raising is held as a mere investment. These two rules indicate a policy of the general land office adverse to any effort to use the desert land act for speculative purposes. Los Angeles Express.

Unpatented Hines Taxable.

Recently Sheriff Charles l.. Fowler, assessor of Santa Cruz county, received this communi. cation from Attorney General Clark:
 Prescott, Ariz., May ?, 1906. MT. Chas. l.. Fowler, Sheriff of Santa Cruz County, Nogales, Arizona.
 Dear Sir:-Some time ago the Territorial Auditor informed me that you desired an expression of opinion from this office as to whether unpatented mining claims were taxable under the laws of Arizona. 1 beg leave to advise you that they are taxable as personal property and that you should be governed in as sessing them by the same rule that obtains in assessing other property, to-wit: on the basis of their cash value.
 Very truly yours,
 B. s. CLARK,
 Attorney General.

For Proper Sanitation.

The good seed sOwn by the Civic Committee of the Yuma Woman's Club is beginning to bear fruit in the activity of the new Town Council in the inter- est of sanitation. The ladies went be- fore the old Council, some time ago, and asked for the inauguration of a vigorous cleaning up campaign to in- clude back yards, front yards, streets and alleys, highways and by-ways--- wherever trash and refuse find a lodg- ment. They also called attention 10 the condition of Orange avenue, and to the neglect of the orange and pepper trees bordering this beautiful thor oughfare. The slogan announced by Mrs. Pngh on the occasion referred to, viz, "Clean up, clean out, keep clean. Make Yuma beautiful" seems to have made a lasting impression, and no doubt these ladies are very glad that the present Town Conncil needs no urging along these lines.

Are You Tired, Nervous
 and SleeDleSs !?

Nervousness and sleeplessness are us- ually due to the fact that the nerves are not fed on properly nOurshlng blood {; they are StdTUed nerves. Dr. Pierce'S Golden Medical Discovery makes pure, rich blood, and thereby tho nerves are properly nOuriShed and all the organs of the body are run as smoothly as machin- cry which runs in oil. In this way you feel clean, strong and strenuous-yOu are toned up and invigorated, and you are good for whole lot of physical or mental work. Best of all, the strength and in crease in vitality and health are lasting.
 The trouble with most tonics and med icineS which have large, booming sale for a short time, is that they are largely composed of alcohol holding the drugs in solution. This alcohol shrinks up the red blood cOrpuScleS, and in the long run greatly injures the system. One may feel exhilarated and better for the time being, yet in the end weakened and with vitality decreased. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery contains no alcohol. Every bottle of it bears upon its wrapper The Bddge of Honestly, in full list of all it's several ingredients. For the druggist to offer you something he claims is ujust as good is to insult your intelligence.
 Every ingredient entering into the world-famed "Golden Medical Discovery '" has the unanimous approval and endorse ment of the leading medical authorities of all the several schools of practice. No other medicine sold through druggists for like purposes has any such endorsement.
 The "Golden Medical Discovery" not only produces all the good effects to be obtained from the use of Golden Seal root, in all stomach, liver and bowel troubles, as in dyspepsia, biliousness, con stipation. ulceration of stomach and bowels and kindred ailments, but the Golden Seal root used in it's compound ing Is greatly enhanced in it's curative ac- ton by other ingredients such as Stone root, Black Cherrybark, Bloodroot, Man drake root and chemically pure triple refined glycerine. #
