PACIFYING THE JAPANESE.

There is every reason to ex- pect the most gratifying results from the current trips of Secre- tary Taft and Secretary Root. In Japan Secretary Taft is car rying out the policy of the ad- ministration with that rare tact and good humor which constitute one of his greatest faculties, demonstrating tU the Japanese that the United States entertains the friendliest feelings toward the fiowery kingdom, despite the fact that this country cannot ac eommodate great numbers of Japanese Nlaborers without up- setting local labor conditions. No nation on earth would be willing to permit great infuxes
 The women of this town have labored earnestly and long in an endeavor to maintain truth and sobriety in the home, teaching their sons and daughters that these are cardinal virtues and are to be prized far greater than wealth or jewels. They have recognized the fact that home life is the foundation of all life, and that municipal, state and national existence is pure only as the home life is pure. The women of this city have been the silent force, the under cur rent that has been working so effectively through the years, the result of which has meant the ushering in Of social condi- tionS that are extremely whole some.

MICROBES.

Microbes in everything you eat and drink, and if you eat and drink microbes you will surely die, and if you don't eat and drink you will still more surely die. Bound 50 surely die in any event, you had better pay no more attention to microbes than you grand daddies did. They ate and drank everything they wanted, and they lived long.
 What did Methusaleh know about microbes in his time? Eat and drink everything you want, microbes and all, and you will live until you die, and that is what old Methusaleh did-he lived until he died.

FAKIRS.

Our readers should keep their weather eye open for fakirs and swindlers. They are numerous and work every scheme to catch people. The latest swindle, worked by a sharper in one of the cities recently, is an apt it.
 lustration of the ability of these dead beat fakirs to catch not only the ignorant but all others who are not constantly on their guard. This swindler walked into jew elry store, and selecting a $125 watch left a check for $500 drawn on an out of town bank, with in structions that the watch be reg
 ulated and that he would come after it and his change week later. On his returning he was informed that his check was nc good. "Well, that's strange" 7" he said. "It's the second time the bank has done that on me. But here's the money for your watch," and he handed out $125 in currency and started for the door. "Oh, yes," he said, turn ing around, you'd better give ne that check" 1t was willing ly handed over to him. On the back was the jewellers endorse ment. With this the man went into a bank, got it cashed, and was never heard of afterward.

CEMENTING OUR FRIENDLY
 RELATIONS WITH MEXICO

In Mexico Secretary Root has made host of friends and has done everything possible to ce- ment the friendly relations that already exist between the United States and our little sister repub- lie to the south. The com bined influence of the two nations is potent for good, as is shown by the responses of the Central American republics to the tender of good offices which came from Presidents Roosevelt andDiaz, and there can te no question in the minds of persons who look at the situation without preju- dlce that the stronger bond of friendship which must follow from Mr, Roots visit will make for even greater good in the future.

Did you ever notice that talk doesn't hurt a man much? Per lection isn't looked for in man,
 and when some one tries to in iure a man by ranting about a few faults he has the absent one,
 who is probably attending to his own affairs, is elevated in the hearers estimation, while the informant is lowered According ly. If man knocks along, do- Ing fairly well, people realize that while he has some faults, he has more virtues, and they are charitable enough to overlook these faults. But it is different with a girl or woman. No mat ter how good and pure a woman may be, let some one start an infamous lie about her and al- most everyone seems willing to pass it along and there's always some one to believe it. That lie can never be lived down. It may burn low. but the gossip lovers are ever ready with new fuel. Did you ever think how damnably mean some goody- good people are in this respect:

A summary of the work of the Reclamation Service to January 1, 1907, shows that it has dug 1,267 miles of canals, or nearly the distance from Washington to Omaha. Some of these canals carry whole rivers, like the Truckee river, in Nevada, and thu North Platte, in Wyoming. The tunnels excavated are 47 in number, and have an aggregate length of 91 miles.
 The servIce has erected 94 large structures, including two great dams in Nevada and the Minidoka dam in Idaho, 80 feet high and $50 feet long. It has completed 670 headworks, fumes, etc. It has built 376 miles wagon road in mountainous country and into heretofore inaccessible re gions. It has erected and in 0p- eration 727 miles of telephones. Its own cement mill has mana- factured 70. G00 barrels of cement and the purchased amount is 3l2,O00 barrels. It's own saw mills have cut 3,036.OO0 feet, board measure, of lumber, and 6,5i0,000 feet have been pur. chased.

YUrIA'S GREAT DAM.

Contributed to the National Geographic Society by C. J. Blanchard, Statistician United States Reclamation Service
The Arizona sentinel., 1907-10-09

The government is engaged upon the construction of a great dam across the Colorado river about twelve miles north of Yuma. The structure Is Of the India wier type and is the first of the kind ever attempted in this country. It will have a length of 1, 780 feet across stream and will be )9 feet high and up and down stream will have a length of 247 feet. It will be d great mass of masonry resting on the sandy bottom of the river, as no bed rock was found in the channel at this point. The weight of this structure will be 500, 900 tons. Water will be diverted by means of canals connecting with both ends of the dam and the area irrigated will be approxi- mately 9O,000 acres. When irri- gated this will probably be the most productive region on this continent. Harvests are prac tically continuosu throughout the year, and the yields from we'll irrigated lands are enor- nous.
