We wonder how many Of our boys
realize that land is going fast-boys
brought up TO think that IN America
land can never be scarce, that when
they have played out at everything
else they can somewhere get q piece
of land for nothing and the next day
be prosperous farmer, can with ditfi-
Guilty be made to see it. In 1865 there
was but little over 1000, 900 acres
under cultivation In theUniced States.
Today the cultivated acres number
236. 900, 0OG and these acres are not only
our best, but they are fast going up In
value beyond the reach IF men of
small means. Keen scented corpora
tions snuffing the inevitable battle
from afar are turning their attention
TO land, and greedIly buying whole
counties with no idea OF ever letting
an acre 20, but the boy who thinks he
is made for something higher looks
calmly on thinking there will by
plenty left for him should he ever
have to stoop to IL. The sons of half
starved teachers, lawyers, traders and
Others, who are unsuccessful 10 their
overcrowded callings, are turning 90
our cheaper lands, sure to find there
what they nor their parents have
known never before-truly indepen-
dent homes.

WATERS CONTINUE TO RISE
Scene of Devastation in Kern County
California-Auxiliary Levee
Now the Only Hope.

Bakersfield, Cal, July This morning
the flood waters in the rich reclaimed
wheat lands in the lower part of Kern
county caused yesterday by the breaking
of the Buena Vista lake levee continue
to spread and rise undated, and all re-
sistance against their progress is i'm
possible until the auxiliary leVee being
constructed at the San Emedio road is
completed and the waters reach that
point. The break in the levee has wild
ened continually and it is reported that
the entire levee is doomed.
Coincidental with the break in the levee
yesterday was the breaking out of two
large fires IN the grain fields of Miller
& Lux nearly twenty miles distant from
the lake. After burning all day, the fires
were finally eXtnguished last night short
ly before midnight About two whole
sections of grain were destroyed. aggTe-
eating between loco and 10000 sacks. In
telligenCe of these two fires and the re-
markable coincidence was suppressed by
the officers of both corporations because
of the suspicion naturally aroused by the
two catastrOphes occurring at precisely
the same time. The officials Of neither
corporation will commit themselves. The
fire broke out at Button Willow, seventeen
miles from the lake and at headquarters,
four miles from Button Willow. Flood
waters from the lake are rising at the
rate of two inches an hour. The advance
this morning is about two and a half
miles from the San EmediO road. where
the fight will be made by the construction
of an auxiliary levee TO stop the advance.
According to Superintendent James Og-
den of the Miller & Lux company, he
does not expect the waters TO reach that
point for three DAYS

A TONIC AND SPECIFIC
HOW DR.. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS
RESTORE LOST STRENGTH.
A Doctors Prescription, Not a Cure
all, They Have One Purpose to Make
Rich, Red Blood.


Rich, Red Blood.
General debility is due to impure
blood. Its causes are worry, overwork,
failure of the body to regain its health
after severe sickness, lack of nourish-
ment from disordered digestion, or
some drain upon the body, all of which
result in thinning the blood, preventing
it from carrying health and nourishment
to the tissues of the body. The way to
cure it is to build up the blood and
enable the various organs to perform
their functions.
Mr.. John +. Williams, of Gil Lincoln
ST., Anderson, Ind, who is in the boot
and shoe business, says: In 1897 was
taken sick with typhoid fever, which
left me completely run down. l went
back to work before l entirely recovered
my strength and the close confinement
Of the store was too much for my weak
ened body. did not give up as should
have done, but kept at my work, al.
though / suffered great deal from sick
headaches and pains in the back The
sick headaches came on me about every
ten or twelve days and the doctors said
they were caused from my ewes. NY
stomach was weak, appetite poor and
complexion sallOw. had night sweats,
which so weakened me, that l had little
interest in my work.
:" / tried several doctors but got No
better and remained in this condition
until l read about DR.. Williams Pink
Pills and started to take them. got SC
much relief from the first few boxes
that l used them until l was entirely
cured. am perfectly well now, but ]
think l should have been a weak man
for many years, if had not used the
pills"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills make rich,
red blood, enabling it to carry life and
strength TO the weak nerves and other
tissues of the body. They are a specific
for such blood diseases as anamia,
rheumatism, the after effects of the grip
and fevers, and for such nervous diseases
as dizziness, sick headaches, neuralgia,
and have accomplished miraculous
results even in partial paralysis and
lOcOmOtOT ataxia.

Blood" containing full information
about blood diseases and their treatment

NO BRITISH REBATE.

London, July 4-Replying in the
house Of commons today to a question

Foreign Secretary Grey said that he
had no official information of America s
intention in this respect, but in any
case the claim of the British govern
ment was based on the actual expendi-
ture incurred.
