The unfortunate experience of the state of New York in it's alienation of valuable water rights at Niagara has aroused keen interest here in the repart that bills are to be presented in con gress this winter granting a practica1 monoply of water power rights in many parts Of the country to a handful of Individuals and corporations. A report on the subject of waterpower and it's value has been prepared by a prorni- nent engineer of this city and submit ted to the government authorities. Ac- cording to this report the total water power of the United States immediately available amounts to over 3O,00O. GOO horsepower. or more than enough to do the entire mechanical work of the nation Of this enormous amount now almost entirely unused. 1000. 900 horse power is represented by Niagara The eastern states arec redited with nearly 5'OOO,OOO, the upper Mississippi valley with 2.000,0 900. the state of Washington with 3,00O,000, and northern California with over 5,O0O,OOO horsepower. It is estimated that the ultimate mower available in the streams of the country under improvement will be well over 1OO,OOO,OO0 horsepower The estimate Of 3O,OOO,O0O horsepower represents. however. energy equivalent to that con tained in 65O,OO0,OOO tons of coal. or flfty per cent in excess of the present annual production of coal. representing an expenditure of s2,O0O, ,OOO. 900.

This city has just received a sur prising illustration of the importance of little things, and more particularly of the disadvantages of letting small obligations run too long. Just 137 years ago the colony of New York obli- gated itself in the form of a note for 10 pounds, or fifty dollars. Claim is now made on the cOmptrollers office for the settlement of this debt by the holder of the note. The sum demanded is considerably more than $50 however. It Is in fact TAO times that amount. or a trifle of s39.O0O, this being the result of compound interest at 6 per cent for t$7 years. The original note is now in the hands of the city authorities. pend ing settlement of the matter. It is a curious document. and reads: Ten Pounds-NO. 15.466. By law of the Colony Of New York this bill shall be received in all payments in the treasury for Ten Pounds. New York. February 16, 1771.

 ] TRY THIS FOR YOUR COUCH. :

Mix a half ounce of Virgin Oil of
 Pine compound pure with two ounces | of Glycerine and a half-pint of good | Whisky; shake well, and take a tea | spoonful every four hours.
 | It is claimed this mixture will break up a cold in twenty-four hours, and cure any cough that is curable. Being free from Opiates and drugs, it
 is far preferable to the ordinary
 cough remedies, and, as it provides
 a quantity sufficient to last the av- craze family an entire year, it is as inexpensive as it is effective.
 The necessary ingredients can be
 secured from any good prescription druggist and the mixture easily pre- pared. It is well to remember, when having the formula put up, that the
 genuine Virgin oil of Pine compound
 pure is never sold in bulk, but is put up for dispensing only in half
 ounce vials, each vial securely sealed
 in a round wooden case. Rank imita- tions, resembling the genuine only in
 name and style of package, are
 sometimes offered, but these are es- sentially ineffective and often cause
 nausea. It is better to purchase the
 ingredients separately and prepare the mixture at home. Be sure to get the genuine Virgin oil of Pine Com pound pure guaranteed under the Food and Drugs Act, June 30, 1906, Serial No. 451, prepared only by Leach Chemical Co.,, Cincinnati, O.

 While it's various guardians of the peace are squabbling as to the best way of protecting their municipal patient, that patient-in other words, Father Knickerbocker-is suffering the usual result. Burglary and larceny crimes are becoming uncomfortably frequent. now totalling over 35,000 annually, while the total value of these hauls is nearly s16,0G0,000. Brought down to a daily basis, New York has almost 100 rObberies every twenty-four hours, this being al the rate of one for every fif- teen minutes day and night Nor are these petty affairs in which property of little value is involved. The average value of each lot of loot secured by burglars and thieves is S460 or more than a good many honest folk earn in a year. Every" hour marks the theft of $2OOO worth of property and every day nearly $50,O0O worth. In spite of the fact that these robberies total 35.00O annually. the average annual number of arrests has been only 1764, or just about one in twenty. Of those only one in four is convicted. so that the chances in favor of the burglar,woul seem to be about so to l. It issaid that under the present police system only per cent of stolen prop erty is recovered.
