500 SHOPS AT MINOT
Extension of System Makes Repair

Special to The Journal. ...
Minot, N. D., Oct. 3.-According to
stories circulating among railroad men
here, the 500 road will build extensive
car shops in Minot before long. No
information has been received here
concerning the matter, but. railroad
ton say that shops will be built. The
main shops Of the road are in Mime
apolis, and there are repair shops at
Harvey and Kenmare. It is probable
that the two repair shops will be. con-
solidated and removed to Minot, which
will be made the divisional headquar-
tiers. IF the 500 builds the proposed
line between Bismarck and Minot,
shops at this point will become a
necessity. = -.
It also is stated on good authority
that the 500 will begin work on new
station early in the spring. !,

The wave of moral reform which is
now sweeping over the northwest has
reached klamath Falls, and that typ
ical frontier town is now rigidly OBJ
serving the Sunday closing and anti
gambling laws.
The expenditure of about $4,000, 900
on the government irrigation project
there is bringing all kinds of people
into the town and many of the unde-
sirable element had flocked there ex-
pecting to reap a harvest from the
laborers and homeseekers.
However. this undesirable element
has been rudely notified TO leave town,
a rigid anti-gambling policy is in force
and all saloons are closed tight dur
ing the entire "a hours on Sunday.
A special from klamath Falls says:
Klamath Falls is to he from this
time forward very different city in
its public life and the enforcement Of
the regulations of state laws and city
ordinances governing saloons and
gambling.
Up to this time 1t has been one of
the typical frontier towns of the
northwest. with gambling wide open
and all sorts of slot machines, devices
and contrivances to catch the nimhle
nickel-or more generally the two-bit
pieoes, as dimes, nickel and pennies
have been but slowly coming into IA
vor with the people of the great in
terror basin where Uncle Sam is now
making preparations to distribute
water over 250.000 acres of land.
Alex Martin, jr., Mayor of Klam-
ath Falls, has issued "A circular to all
saloon proprietors notifying them
that, effective July I, all saloons must
close at midnight Saturday and re-
main closed until midnight Sunday;
all gambling. including money and
cigar slot machines, will be closed,
and all requirements of state laws and
city ordinances must be strictly OBJ
served
In addition TO this it is stated on
good authority that the license OF
500 per year will be increased to
$500 and possibly made as high as
$1,000 or $1,000, as means of limit
ing the number of saloons and erad-
icating the least desirable element

TO DRAIN INLAND SEA,
Southern Pacific VIII Reclaim the
Yuma Basin.

Prof, L. C. Hill, chief of the govern
meTt reclamation service in Arizona,
states that the Southern Pacific rail-
road will soon begin the task of drain
ing the great inland sea that is now
forming in the Yuma basin in Arizo-
ma. The undertaking is without par
allel in the history of railroading in
this or any other country.
The Colorado river has broken
through its banks in Arizona. The
course of the river has been diverted
by this break and the whole volume
of water, practically, is pouring
through the break and settling in the
Yuma basin.
1t las already washed out 200
miles of Southern Pacific tracks, be-
sides other damage. An area OF $40
square miles in extent is covered with
water. Brush mattresses will be
floated to the gap in the river bank,
fastened with piles and weighted with
rock. When these dam sare built
high enough the water will be turned
back into its natural channel.

In Lap,and they have no salt, and
the bark Of the fir tree is used as q
substitute. The Lapps peel the bark
from the trunk of the tree, carefully
remove the epidermis and then divide
the inner bark into quite a number OF
very thin layers. During the brief but
extremely hot Lapland summer the
layers are exposed to the sun until
thoroughly dried; then they are torn in
to narrow strips and placed in boxes
made of fresh bark taken from other
trees. Deep holes are then dug in the
sand, and the bark boxes are buried in
them, where they are allowed to re-
main for about three days. The second
day fires are made over places where
the boxes are buried and kept burning
briskly for several hours. The heat
penetrates deep into the sand, turns
the fir bark a deep red color and gives
to 1t pleasing taste and odor Finally
the boxes are unearthed, the fir strips
are pounded or ground into coarse
powder, and the Iapps use 1t just as
we do salt. only much more sparingly,
because it is so troublesome to pre-
mare .

BUILD KLAMATH LATERALs.
Reclamation Service VIII Complete
Work Not Contracted.

The secretary of the interior has
granted authority to the reclamation
service to construct 10 miles of canal
and 81 miles of latcrals in connection
with the Klamath irrigation project,
and to employ the force required to
carry the work vigorously to compile
tion. In order that this distributing
system may be ready for use when
the main canal, now under construc-
tion, is completed.
No bids were received for this work.
The time required to readvertise
would so delay construction that 1t is
improbable water could be provided
for irrigation by next season.
Advices from reclamation engineers
in charge of work in the klamath
country show that progress on the big
canal Is very satisfactory; also that
many inquiries are being made about
lands t? come under the project, and
indications are that the many settlers
who have already signfied their in
tention to locate will be followed by
many others with the completion of
the big undertaking.

The funeral customs among some Of
the Swiss are most peculiar. At the
death of Il person the family inserts
formal black edged announcement in
the papers asking for sympathy and
stating that "the mourning urn" will
be exhibited certain hours on special
day. In front of the house where the
person died there is placed little
black table, covered with black cloth.
on which stands black jar. Into this
the friends and acquaintances Of the
family drop little black margined Wis
iting cards, sometimes with a few
words of sympathy on them. The urn
Is put out on the table on the day Of
the funeral. No one except men ever
goes to the churchyard, and they gen.
orally follow the hearse on foot, though
sometimes carriages are used. The
horses that draw the hearse have long
black cloaks on, with places cut out
for them to see through.

KILLING GLANDERED HORSES.
Bnlancc Of tho IIorr Herd Near Idaho
Falls Quarantincd

The idaho Falls Express gives the
following statement as to conditions
giving rise to end perpetuating the
rumors of glanders in that part of
Idaho:
State Veterinarian Noble was in
town the first Of the week to further
inspect the herd of horses belonging
to Rasmus Hoff, which he quarantine
ed short time ago on account of
gianders. Six OF the animals were
killed previous to the doctors arrival,
II being alleged that 1t was done by
the state stock inspector. Another
was killed Saturday, all of the horses
being shot by AL Christianson, who
claims to be a deputy stock inspector.
There is some dispute among the
veterinarians of this district as to the
exact nature of the disease, and many
of the stockmen and farmers are in
terested. In order to determine the
exact status of the case, Mr.. Hoff and
DIR. Miles have sent portions of the
Schneiderian membrane and mucus
from the nasal passage to the bureau
of animal industry at Washington, ID.
c., for diagnosis. In the meantime
the balance of the herd is under quar-
antine. 1t has been impossible to To-
cate DR.. Noble, though he declared to
a Capital News representative a short
time ago that CHAMBERS existed. He
made an examination of one of the
animals Saturday.
The fact that the horses were shot
and that the balance of the herd is
still under quarantine goes to prove
that an infection of very serious ma
ture exists.

NO MORE GAS FOR MAIL CARS.
Railway Mail Clerks Would Eliminate
Dangers

Railway mail clerks have tired of
members of their national organization
heing burned to death or subjected 10
death by fire from the lighting ar
rangements of the mail cars. announ-
ces a Washington, D. c., report.
They have therefore secured the in
PRODUCTION by Representative Jonkins,
of Wisconsin. chairman of the house
committee on judiciary, of a resolu-
tion directing the postmaster general
to notify the railroad companies car
rying the mails that within a year
from the approval of the resolution
they will be required to furnish cleo
trically lighted cars for the transpor-
tation of the mails.
While the mail clerks are principal
ly interested because their personal
safety is involved, the postoffice de-
partment is deeply interested because
of the quantities OF mail destroyed in
such wrecks from fires started by the
gas jets or lamps in the mail cars.
Electricity would undoubtedly be safer
for the clerks and for the mails, and
consequently II is expected that the
resolution will be supported by the
department as we'll as by the mail
clerks organization. The railroads
will doubtless oppose 1t because of
furnishing gas equipment for such
cars will probably try to defeat the
resolution.
No action is expected before next
session. but the matter will be brought
before the annual convention of the
railway mail clerks this summer and
it is hoped that the resolution will be
adopted at the next session of con-
gress.

MEAT, MILK AND WATER.
All VIII Hereafter Ec Inspected Off
cinlIX III Boise

Sanitary science Is to be more COM
pletely applied in Poise than ever
heretofore, according to the States
man:
The city council last evening in
structed Attorney Cavanah to draft
an ordinance providing for an inspec-
ton of meats, milk and water. In
drafting the ordinance he is to con-
suit with DR., McBirney, the federal
livestock inspector, and the members
of the health committee of the coun-
ell. who have had charge of the re-
cent investigation of slaughter
houses.
Chairman Davidson of the health
committee brought up the matter, his
declaration for city inspector seeming
to meet with the approval of the other
members of the health committee, and
the councilmen in general.
Both Davidson and Sinsel declared
they had heard of butchers complain
ing that farmers brought in suspicious
looking meats, all dressed ready for
sale. The recent investigation OF
slaughter houses was referred to, and
DR.. McBirney, in a brief statement to
the council. stated the most prevalent
disease among animals just now was
the big jaw, which might be spread
to man. Another was tuberculosis
! Dairy animals, he thought, should be
inspected at least once every two
months. Blackleg was still another
disease which might be communicated
to human beings. The dressed meats
of animals infected with this diseas
could not be detected from pur'
meats.
He advocated strict ante-morten
as well as post-mortem inspection o
/ all meats.

DANGER IN DELAY.

Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous
for Pcndleton People to Neglect.
The great danger of kidney trou-
bles is that they get firm hold be-
fore the sufferer recognizes them.
Health is gradually undermined.
Backache, headache, nervousness,
lameness, soreness. lumbago, urinary
troubles, dropsy, diabetes and Bright's
disease follow in merciless succession.
Don't neglect your kidneys Cure the
kidneys with the certain and safe
remedy, Doan's Kidney Pills. which
has cured people right here In Pen
dleton.
Mrs. E. j. Meiners Of 621 Lewis
street. Pendleton, Ore, says: I'VE
have used Doan's Kidney Pills in our
family for several years. About two
years ago a, cold settled in my kidneys
and back and caused a good deal of
pain and backache. as well as annoy
ance from the kidney secretions. My
back and loins were lame and sore,
companied by sharp twinges of pain.
At this time Doan's Kidney Pills were
recommended to me and I began
using them. They brought relief at
once and banished the entire trouble.
Since then when I have caught cold
have felt a slight recurrence, but
the use of Doan's Kidney Pills has re-
moved the annoyance promptly. We
wouldn't be without this remedy in
the home for anything, knowing It to
be one that has genuine merit"

Do you possess well formed and
evenly balanced features? This Is the
rule; Judge for yourself: The height Of
your forehead, from your hair to the
line of your brow, should be the same
rs the length Of your nose, and botA
should be commensurate with the
depth from the base of your nose to
the extremity Of your chin, so making
three equal divisions. Have you an ex-
cess or deficiency of brain power?
This question you may answer to your
own satisfaction by contrasting the
bulk of your head visible above OF be-

of any particular reform agitation and
Is simply the action of the city admin
istration united upon policy of taxi
ing firm control of the cituation be-
fore the rapidly increasing growth of
the town and consequent aggression of
undesirable classes might lead to
necessity for more stringent action.

changed order of things among the
citizens and It is expected that as a
result there will be a discontinuance
of Sunday opening of all places of bus
mess, contrary to all precedent in this
inland city.
