Special o The Herald.
RHYOLITE, New, May 30.-Work has
been started upon the Ash Meadows
water system which will supply south
ern Nevada with water and power for
mining and milling purposes.
The seven carloads of pipe that al
ready have arrived at Amargosa are
being unloaded and the pipe freighted to
the distributing points along the pro-
posed line, while the survey gang is
laying out the line for the three lines
that will run from the company's prop
erty to the pumping station on the
Borax Smith road, five miles from the
site of the big reservoir at the top of
the Funeral range of mountains near
Lee.
The water for the Greenwater division
of the company's line will be handled
first, as the miners of that district now
are forced to pay $4 and SIS a gallon for
water that is not of the best grade, and
until the Ash Meadows system is COM
plete there will be little milling done in
any part of southern Nevada.
The plans of the company include a
vast reservoir 1900 feet above the pump
ing station that will hold 100000 gall
Ions of water and will supply the min
ing country for radius of forty miles
by gravity flow
Three pipe lines will assemble the
water at the station from the 7S0 acres
of land that the company holds at Ash
Meadows, and while but three springs
will be harnessed at the present time

at Length
BY Associated Press.

DENVER, May 3O.-The scope of the
land convention to be held in this city
June IS, 10 and 20 has been enlarged to
include consideration of arid land
reclamation.
An address was issued today by the
program committee, of which Senator
Henry M. Teller is chairman, outlin-
ing the objects of the convention. The
policy OF the government regarding
public lands from the adoption of the
constitution up to the present day is
reviewed in detail.
The questions to be discussed at the
convention is stated as follows:
1. Has the United States government
the constitutional right to hold the
public lands within the borders of a
new state in perpetual ownership and
under municipal sovereignty without
the consent of the state?
2. When the new states were ad-
mitted, with all rights and privileges
of the older states, did not the agree
ment include the right to acquire the
public LANDS for its citizens under the
laws of the United States?
3. The withdrawal of large tracts of
public lands in the west having been
urgent upon the ground of the public
necessity, does such a public necessity
exist in fact as would warrant the
large Withdrawals already made?

A Gigantic Scheme

Although the scheme is gigantic one
the Ash Meadows company seems to be
capable of handling it, as the company
is incorporated for $5, 100000 and already,
it is stated, has $1,25O,OO0 in bank in
Scranton, Pa.
The amount of money will be suffi-
cient, say the engineers, to install the
system without drawing upon the
treasury stock of the company further.
The property owned by the company
has been patented and the water appor-
toned, 300 inches being retained for the
land and the water rights apportioned.
Three hundred inches have been re-
tanned by the company to develop the
land owned by it, while the remainder
has been taken for sale, milling and
mining purposes.
In speaking of the new company
Judge Ray said: "The Ash Meadows
company will supply the great want of
southern Nevada, for with railroads,
known mines, electric power, telegraph
and telephone there is nothing needed
but water to make the country Won
derful producer.
"To mills we will supply water
cheaper than it can be developed by
private individuals, and already the
Homestake and the Mayflower stand

the Death Valley Mines company will

None of the Socialists in Boise accept
Duncan as a member of their particular
branch of the party. DR.. Herman Titus
of Seattle, one of the Socialist writer's

terview with Duncan this afternoon. He
declared afterward that he thought it
would not be to the best interests of
Socialism to have the young man re-

declared, that he had not come to Boise

In first rate health.
Not long ago. said a New York

she recounted.

chi1dren's quaint misunderstanding of
Biblical metaphors and parallels, and
she told an amusing story on this
head
..She said that little boy came
home one day from school in bad
humor. Another boy, Jack Jones, had
given him a thrashing, and he wanted
revenge.
"tOh,' said his mother, don't think
of revenge, Willie. Be kind to Jack.

he will become your friend
Willie thought he would try this
method. He did not see Jack Jones
till the next day at recess Just as he
was buying a lemon pie for luncheon
Jack appeared and said:
Look here, licked you yesterday,
but didn't give you enough. Now I'm
going to lick you again.
And he planted hard blow on Will
lies little stomach.
Willie gasped and grunted, but in.
stead of striking back he extended his
pie to Jones.
Here he said, in a kindly voice
I'll give you this. I make you a pres.
ent of it
Jack Jones, in glad amazement, fell
upon the pie greedily, and it had soon
disappeared.
Gosh, it was good he said. What
did you give it to me for?'
Because you struck me- said the
heaper of Goals.
Instantly Jones hauled off and
struck him again.

Mental Medicine

A somewhat eccentric physician who
recently died would order patients to
take walks, say, daily, on the left side
of the street, returning by the other
side; another he would order to arise
each morning at certain hour and
eat cheese with ginger beer; another
to take supper precisely at midnight,
and eat only apples; or he would in
struct the patient to put just so many
grains of salt on the egg he was to eat,
and part his hair in a different way
each day His object was to get the
mind of the patient on something else
than symptoms, and this scheme
worked well in many cases, especially
when the patient was suffering from
melancholia.

A Bunker Hill Gun.


A1onzo Smith of Skowhegan has an
of Bunker Hill, 131 years ago. Many
who fought on the American side on
that 18th day of June afterward came
to Maine to settle, among them Biley
Smith, private in the Second New
Hampshire regiment. Mr. Smith, the
great grandfather of Alonzo Smith of
Skowhegan settled in Cornville in 1870
and his grave is in the orchard on
farm near where his grandson, Clark
E. Smith, now lives. The musket
which BiIey Smith carried at Bunker
Hill was among his effects brought
to Cornville, and on his death passed
into the hands of his son, David, and
was by him bequeathed to his grand
son, Sylvester Smith. A few years
ago, when Sylvester left for the west,
he gave the famous old musket to
Alonzo Smith of Skowhegan, who now
treasures it as family heirloom. One
remark made by Biley Smith, in reIat-
ing his experiences at Bunker Hill,
has been handed down to his descend
ants to the effect that he felt some re-
pugnance at first in shooting at the
redcoats as they came up the slope,
but after the first few shots he could
as easily take aim at British officer
as he could at a partridge. The gun
itself is in working order barring the
loss of the flint, and could be easily
reequipped for actual use.-Kennebec

AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA.

u "Our little girl, one year and a half
old, was taken with eczema or that
was what the doctor called it. We
took her to three doctors but by this
time she was nothing but a yellow,
greenish sore. One morning we dis
covered a little yellow pimple on one
of her eyes. Doctor No. 3 said that we
had better take her to some eye spe-
cialist, since it was an ulcer. So we
went to Oswego to doctor No. 4, and
he said the eyesight was gone. We
were nearly discouraged, but I thought
we would try the Cuticura Treatment,
SO purchased set of Cuticura Rem
edies, which cost me 81, and in three
days our daughter, who had been sick
about eight months, showed great i'm
provement, and in one week all sores
had disappeared. OF course it could
not restore the eyesight, but if we had
used Cuticura in time am confident
that it would have saved the eye.

Truth-TeIIino.

The test of civilization is its re-
gard for truth. Truth is nothing
more than honesty. The habit of tell
ing the truth begets accuracy of state
ment, and the habit among a people
of hearing and expecting the truth
produces the truth. Honest men who
have no intent to deceive are called
truthful, but if they are lax and care
less, and have been habituated to
loose statements, and themselves
place no great value upon truth for
its own 1ake, they are pretty sure to
be inaccurate, and, therefore mis-
Trustworthy. For this reason. per
haps, Sir Walter Scott declared that
the right education for young man
was to learn to fish and 10 tell the
truth.

garding the while her yellow hair,
her clear blue eyes, her red mouth
and white teeth. Suddenly, bending

QUICK REMEDIES FOR cRAMP.
Not Hard to Get Relief From This
Painful Affiiction. 49,.

Do your little growing folks wake
up in the night with cramp in their
toes or legs? If SO, tell them to slide
down to the foot of the bed and press
their toes hard against the footboard-
This seldom fails to bring relief. Even
the tiniest tot can do this for herself
when she wakes up in alarm at the
big pain in her leg.
Should this fail, and sometimes
when the cramp is up by the knee, it
is not efficient, tell the sufferer to
press the sole of her cramped foot
against the instep of the other. Press
good and hard, and the pressure, to-
gether with the warmth and electric
ity drawn from the well foot, will GER
tainly bring relief unless the case is
very stubborn. To treat the "knot-
ty,n stubborn kind of cramp, which

they are nervous, or if they have
