100000 less than the states con-
tributions to the fund, and Over
81, 100000 more than the so-called
restricted portion of 81 per cent.
The Okanogan project received 4
grant of $500, 900, and the report of
the reclamation service predicts that
the whole area of somewhat less
than 5000 acres will be under water
in the spring of 1908. 1t is Officially
estimated that the lands under this
project will, after irrigation, be
worth from 500 to $500 per acre,
although situated at distance of so
miles from the nearest railroad sta
ton. For remoteness the lands in
cluded in this irrigation scheme are
unique, and it is quite certain that IL
the area had not been one of great
fertility the project would never have
been authorized.
Kittitas Project.
The reclamation service summar-
ICES what it has to say about the I'M
approved Kittitas project as follows:
THE result of the preliminary sur
veys was to indicate that whatever
the route (for a canal) selected, the
cost per acre for the system would be
relatively high. Both routes involve
heavy construction in the way of side
hill rock work and siphons unde!
high heads. The lands under this
project are adapted to diversified
farming, which is now practiced with
much success, although the irriga-
tion season is shorter by several
weeks than in the lower end of the
valley" The annual report of the
service adds that ION account of the
expense involved this project cannot
be undertaken at this time"
The same opinion is expressed In
regard to the Benton project, form
erly called the Ledbetter project, for
the report says: 1.-THE large initial
outlay, about 100000, needed to
carry the main canal to any consid-
cradle area of irrigable lands, and |
the large ultimate cost, about 81 :
100000, make it certain that the |
building of the project must be de-
ferred several years. The project IS
as whole feasible and inviting. The |
land is fertile, the irrigation season
is long, transportation facilities are
fair even now, and the unit cost per
acre is moderate"
Surveys Discontinued.
In regard to the Priest river pro-
ject, the report concludes a brief dis
cussion as follows: "As the develop
ment of the projects already ap-
proved will leave no funds available |
for many years for undertaking new
projects in Washington, further stud
les and surveys of secondary pro-
iects have been discontinued. Most |
of the lands withdrawn in connection |
Herewith have since been restored"
Although more than $4,000 has i
been expended in examination of the
Paouse project, this scheme of irri- |
cation is no longer considered by the
reclamation service.
In Washington.
Briefly summarized, the projects in |
Washington are as follows:
Yakima Proiect-40, 900 acres, to
cost $45 an acre. total cost of first |
unit, s1,S00.o0o; annual revenue. |
$3.50 900; total area to be reclaimed, |
100000 acres.
Tieton Projects, 900 acres, to |
cost $50 an acre; total cost, $780, |
900; annual revenue, $4,000.
Okanogan Project-9,00 acres, to !
cost s55 an acre: total cost, $685.
COO; annual revenue, $49,500.

 In His Most Prosperous Year. His Oil Stock.
 New York, Feb. 27.-The magnitude of John D. Rockefeller's fortune was developed in an inquiry here. In re- ply to a question Frederick T. Gates, MT. Rockefeller's business representa- tive, said:
 There have been a great many amusing misstatements on the sub- ject. everal years ago Senator Hoar in the senate credited Mir. Rockefeller with fortune of 1,000,000,000. Quite recently statement has been made and published widely throughout the country that his annual income ex- ceeds $100,000,000. Now the facts are that Mr. Rockefeller has at various times himself authorized a statement that his fortune can not exceed $250,- 000,000 to $300,000,00O. Furthermore, his income instead of being $100,000,- 900, or nything like it can not, in his most prosperous year, have exceeded $15,000,000 to $20,OO0,0OO. The public generally are under the impression that he owns majority of. the Stan dard Oil stock The facts are that Mir. Rockefeller's holdings of Stand ard Oil stock are about 20 per cent"

Women are doing jury service up in Colorado state. The first woman
 juror to sit in judgment upon a case in Denver City is described as "a beautiful young girl with mass es of fluffy golden hair and dancing blue eyes, She sat in divorce suit. The plaintiff was man who charged that his wife had an incom- patibility of temper, was cruel to him, and had deserted him. He was himself young and good looking and of course won his suit. It has been suggested in connection with this innovation of women sitting as jurors to try divorce cases that Cupid may take Up headquarters in the temple of justice and do live ly business while the sundering of the bonds of hated wedlock is in progress.

Mrs. C. w. Stump, of Canton, Ohio, writes: T wish I could induce every mother who has weak sickly child to try that delicious cod liver prepara- ton, Vinol. Our little daughter was pale, thin and sickly. She had no ap- petite and no ambition.
 We tried various medicines, but without any benefit whatever, and she could not take cod liver oil or emul- sions, as they nauseated her and up- set her stomach.
 Learning that Vinol contains all the medicinal and rength-creating properties of cod liver oil, but with out the disagreeable oil, we decided to try it and the results were marvellous. It gave her hearty appetite; the col or returned to her cheeks and she is stronger and in better health than she has been for years.
 T cannot say enough in favor of Vinol for weak, delicate children
 Our local druggist, A. G. Bedell says: We have never sold medicine in our store equal tqtvinol for delicate, ailing children, weak old@people, or sickly women and children, and we re- u tur,, money If t@ls to benefit, "A. G. Bedell.

"Forakercitis" is the occasion for an exchange of compliments be- tween the Louisville Courier-Jour- nal and the New York Times. That is. an occasion for an exchange or compliments to the aforesaid For akeritis. The Times, for instance, refers to Senator Foraker as the bull dog of American politics, and the Courier-Journal adds that though the Ohio statesman may re- fleet sadly that while bull dog Is spectacular in a chewing match, he is small potatoes in race. An other reflection, too, that should not be overlooked is that the Times has prefixed the name that most pro- nouncedly characterizes the nature of the Ohioan without obtaining the public's consent to do so.

A FEW PLAIN FACTS FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF OUR MER- CHANTS, BANNERS AND BUS- MESS MEN.

The Graphic has several times recently called the attention of our people to the importance, aye the necessity, of patronizing their home merchants and business men and To- cal enterprises generally. It is not only the patriotic duty of every one to do so, but to the financial inter- est of every citizen as well, for whatever benefits the community as whole rebounds in some de- gree at least to each individual member thereof. But while the Graphic has heretofore tried to im- press these facts upon the buyers and consumers of the community, we now desire to call the attention of our merchants, bankers and busi- ness men generally to the necessi- ty of applying these same rules to their own business conduct. The duty of patroniZing home enter prises is no less binding upon the merchant or banker tian upon the general public. The obligation is entirely reciprocal, and rests upon all alike. The merchant or busi- ness man who sends abroad for his printing, binding or stationery, or any other article lie can buy at home at a reasonable price, puts himself beyond the pale of consid- eration for local patronage when it comes to applying the principle of buying at home. There are sever- al printeries in Pine Bluff whose az gregate pay roll amounts to several thousands of dollars per month. This money is spent at home, among local merchants, hotel and boarding house proprietors, landlords, real estate dealers, and sometimes de- posted in our local banks. Yet it is regrettable fact that many of our merchants and bankers send abroad, and even out of the state, for their stationery and printing matter when the same could be pur- chased at home from their local printing houses for about the same price, or at least few cents more on the thousand. The Pine Bluff banks find no deposItors or bor- rowers in Dallas, Galveston, St. Louis, or Chicago; nor do the Pine Bluff merchants sell goods and wares to the employees or proprie- tors of any foreign printing houses, yet, We regret to state, many of these send abroad for their printing and to this extent build up foreign print shops at the expense of their own.

It is the belief of knowing ones that Hearst will not be a candidate for the presidency if he does not get his bill limiting contributions to campaign funds through congress. He evidently wishes to protect the Hearst treasury by law. It almost makes us hope his bill will fail. for the country needs no Hearst ca li- dacy in 1908.
