Ask Large Sum for Canal.

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 3.-According
20 the second annual report of Henry
A. Van Alstyne. state engineer and
surveyor. an appropriation of $4,000
900 will be asked from the legislature
for work on the 100O-ton barge canal
this year. The report particularly
deals with the barge canal project and
state road improvements. According
to the figures given in the report less
than $1,000, 900 of the s1O,000,000,
made available by the legislature for
the first years work has actually been
expended, but about s9,00O,00O of con-
tracts have been assumed. The work
will require a number of years and an
enormous expenditure of money, but it
is believed that the canal will become
one of the most valuable improvements
of the state.

New Army Law in France in Force


PARIS, Jan. 3.-The new army law
which was adopted by an overwhelm
ing majority at the last session of the
chamber of deputies. has gone into
effect and, it is believed, will give gen.
eral satisfaction. The new law reduces
the term Of active service in the army
from three to two years On the
other hand it renders every French
man liable, and abolishes all former
exceptions concerning widows sons
and breadwinners. While such
young men are serving in the army
those dependent upon them will be as
sisted by the state. Men, hitherto
freed from military service owing to
weakness will be enrolled in an aux
Hilary corps. 1t is maintained, that this
law will not decrease the numbers of
the army on a peace footing which is
$4,000, but military experts are of
the opinion that there will be slight
reduction, of about $4,000, because one
half of the active army will be re-
leased annually, instead of one third,
as heretofore and that the abolition of
exemptions does not compensate for
this.
The principle Of the new law is all
round equality. In carrying out this
principle the pupils of cadet schools
must serve one year in the ranks be-
fore beginning their studies, while stu
dents in the various professions, here
tofore serving only twelve months,
must nenceforth serve one year as or
binary soldiers and then on passing ex-
aminations, become reserve officers
during the second year Of service.

COUNCIL SETS DAY FOR SPECIAL
ELECTION AND ADVERTlSES
FOR BIDS.
Mayor Hunt Commends Council for
Prompt Action Taken-Advises
All Haste Possible.

Walla Walla's proposed gravity
water system is to be pushed to an
early completion if the water PROPOSE

the completed pipe in the ground.
Clerk Reynolds was also instructed to
correspond with various bonding COM
panies relating to the sale of the bond
issue of s25O,O0O against the revenues
of the water works if the proposition
carries at the special election.
Mayor Advises Haste.
Mayor Hunt in a message to the
council praised the board for the Wig
orous manner in which the water
question has so far been handled. The
mayors message was as follows:
"Walla Walla, Jan. 2, 1895
'To the Honorable Council of the City
of Walla Walla, Walla Walla, Wash
Gentlemen: No act Of yours has
met with such general APPROVAL as the
vigorous manner with which you
handled the ordinance calling for a
special election to vote on the pro-
posed extension of our water system,
and the issuance of the necessary
bonds to pay for the same; and I adj
wise that you continue to give this
water proposition your first and care
full attention.
In order to give our city relief and
prevent a water famine in our city, it
becomes necessary that we forward
everything in connection with the
building of the proposed system with
all possible dispatch. There is not one

THE PHOENIX BUSINESS COL
lEGE AND ACADEMY.

The standing possessed by this es-
Enlistment is now so favorably known
in the city that little reed be said
about its courses. but perhaps some
of our country boys and girls may
not be so well posted as to its adyan-
tages.
II supplies most thorough educa-
tion in all grade subjects and high
school subjects. Its English and Ian
guage courses have again and again
been favorably commented upon and
il has had unbroken success in training
for college work
The business college department.
however. is what has attracted the
most notice and it is this which espec-
tally appeals to all who have taken the
trouble to examine IL.
This last year several old expert
bookkeepers went thoroughly and COM
pletely over the course and pronounced
it most practical. and one of the best
for commercial training they had seen.
The same has been said Of its short
hand course. The college has teachers
who wilk If required. teach other
methods. but after careful examina-
ton and the testimony of experienced
office men and teachers il advises the
PERRIN system To all students. This
system has no shading. no. position. no
dotting in Of novels. no long lists Of
word signs; 1t is rapid but above all il
is easily read.
This year important improvements
have been made in the business de-
partment; new rooms built. offices
built in for banking ana commercial
work and the new year will see in the
Phoenix Academy and Business Col
lege of the best schools in the terri
tory.
a feature that should not be over
looked is the success Of its graduates.
No pupil is without a position and
some OF the best positions in the CITY
have been filled by persons who have
received their commercial education m
this building. This fan continual calls
were received for office help which the
college could not supply.

arship at this establishment can con-
slider himstlf fortunate indeed.

HYomEI CURES cATARRH.
Costs Nothing Unless 1t Gives Relief
Sold Under Guarantee.

No matter how severe or chronic 4
case Of catarrh you may have. consult
the Larson Drug Company about the
use OF Hyomei. They have so mucn
faith in the efficacy of this treatment
that they give their personal guarantee
with every outfit they sell that IL will
effect cure. or the money will be re-
funded.
In many instances Hyomei has cured
catarrh when the patient has suffered
from childhood. quite a few people IN
Phoenix who have been unable for
years TO get a good nights sleep on
account of the disagreeable tickling
and dropping at the back of the throat,
have obtained quick relief from a few
treatments with Hyomei, and the con-
tinued use has made a complete and
lasting cure
There is no stomach dosing when
one uses Hyomei. Simply breathe its
inhaler that comes with every outfit
and all catarrhal germs will be killed
and the mucous membrane will be
healed.
A complete HyOmei outfit costs but
ST. sufficient for at least two weeks
treatment, making it one of the most
economical methods of curing catarrh.
If the outfit does not complete cure,
extra bottles of Hyomei. if needed. can
be bought for 50 cents. Remember
that there is no risk in buying Hyo-
mel. 1t costs nothing unless it cures.

were sent in by way of the mouth of

abandoned as a summer route and
used only for the purpose of sending
out the mails during the winter by

the purpose after they left the coun-

1t was while on one of these trips
in 1882 that the Russians discovered
gold on the Anauk and it is known
today as the Yellow river of the Rus

ever attempted mining on any large
scale or whether they found gold in
paying quantities, but it is thought to
be the first time on record of gold be-
ing found in this country.

HOW TO REDUCE YOUR FLESH.

To increase the lung capasity is the
first step in the reduction of flesh.
For this purpose running is, think,
superior to any other exercise. Box
ing and hand ball or also excellent
for the wind" And these exercises
will do more than increase the respira-
tory functions; they will greatly
stimulate The circulation as well as
all the secretory and excretory pro-
cesses. What leg exercises will not
do. however, is oxidize, to any greatex-
tent the soft tissues of the trunk and
arms. True, by stimulating the organs
of elimination and by increasing lung
capacity. leg exercises will oxidize
upper tissues somewhat; but when
fat is replaced by muscle, it has a
strong tendency to reform. A bad eff
feet of leg exercises exclusively is that
they draw a major part of the blood
rich in oxygen, to the lower limbs
whereas if vigorous arm and trunk ex
ercises were executed, besides the
leg exercises, much blood would be
attracted also to the upper parts
which would then be vxidized to the
best advantage, their lost fat being
al the same time, replaced by solo
tissue, and hence having little tenden
Cy to reform. Running, therefore
splendid exercise though it is, should
be supplemented by vigorous upper
exercises. By vigorous upper eXer
cises I do not mean calisthenics nol
any kind of so-called light exercises
l mean reasonably hard work.-G. Ell
