UP TO DATE FARMER
UsUEs MUCH ELECTRICITY.

Electric lighted farm houses, barnes
common things in the west. A light
ing plant is not only a convenience
but reduces the fire hazard by doing
away with milking by lantern light and
climbing around in feed yards and hay
mows with dangerous lanterns.
Gasoline engines are also becoming
almost a necessity on the modern farm.
They are doing all the big things
which the farmers formerly used their
horses and borrowed their neighbor ;
horses to do as well as all the little
things which tired the women ana
boys.
All over the west farmers are buy
ing automobiles, which have become 20
practical that they can depend on them
for quick long trips, saving theic
horses for work in the fields which
cannot yet be done by electricity, ga
sOline or petroleum.
These three modern conveniences
and necessities help make up the equip
ment of the modern farmer and re.
cognizing this the National Corn Ex-
position, to be held at Omaha Dec. y
to 10, has secured a gasoline engine,
dynamo and switch boar which will
be given by a Michigan manufacturer
for the best half bushel of wheat in
the milling test-the entries to be
open to the world. The gasoline en-
gine of the outfit may be used for any
purpose for which power is needed
about the farm and then rr1 the dyna-
mo at night, making ample light for
house and barns.
An automobile worth 5000 has been
offered by the Brush Automobile com
pany of Detroit, Mich, for the best
bushe of corn on the ear and the en-
tries for this are also open to the
world.

Iowa Men Back Project to
Develop Vast Tract of Rich
LAID Near Montrose
BIG IRRIGATION PLANS

Plans for the early and rapid deve-
lopment of the resources of the Natur-
ita and Paradox valley district of Mont
rose county are well under way. A
railroad that will connect the town of
Norwood with the outside world is con-
temp.ated.
George w. Knox, Harmon Layton and
j. j.. Van LEV, all of Des Moines, are
back of the enterprise. 1t is their OBJ
lect to get sufficient capital interested
to assure the building of the road into
Norwood, and thus furnish an outlet
10 vast acreage of irrigated landc.
The cailroad is really second to an
immense irragation scheme. The Des
Mrincs men recently purchased small
iuigating system in the vicinity of
Norwood. They have obtained dredges
ana m2vcG twenty carloads of machin
CRY Eto .hc district.
The work Of widening and deepening
TIE diichcS of the system is IN tfc way
and the laterals will be extended. 1t
Is expected that when completed the
irrigating plant will provide water for
more than 100000 acres of as rich
land as Colorado boasts.
Norwood is located in the northeast
corner of San Miguel county, thirtysix
miles from Telluride. The town has
population of about 600 and is grow
ing rapidly. AT the gateway to the big
district under irrigation a railroad is
practical necessity. Knox, Layton
and Van Lew want to give the town
the long felt want.
Capitalists who have been approach
ed by Layton have taken keen inter
est in the project. He has party of
engineers looking over the territory for
rich men of the East
1t is proposed to run the road to Nor
wood, either from Montrose on the main
line of the Denver & Rio Grande road,
or from Placervile on the Rio Grande
Southern.
In the vicinity of Norwood about 100
acres of land already is under cuitiva-
ton. With the irrigation projects nov
under way completed at least 100000
acres will be brought under water.
The section gets its principal water
supply from the Lone Cone and Dolor-
es peaks.

The Southern Pacific was the only bid
der and the figures submitted were dis
appointing to the board members, the
latter declared.
When some time ago a tentative under
standing was reached among certain city
officials that the Southern Pacific should
get most of the aqueduct freight it was
with the implied If not distinct under
standing that the freight bids would be
extremely low. AS this semi-agreement
has not been kept. in the view of the
board, new bids may be asked or the city
may build it's own railway.
The figures, which only traffic Of
fetal can understand easily, were referred
to the aqueduct board for analysis.
The bids, classified according to the
various kinds of freight, contain about
500 items. In the distance tariff, for in

DISTRICT IS
IN FURORE.
NEoREss HIRED BY JAY GoULD's
SISTER CAUSES 1T
Fashionable Section in Arms Against
Domestic, Who is Arrested for
Loud Singing and Abusive
Language

Miss Jennie Clark, a negro domestic in
the house of Mrs. Anna G. Hough, sis
ter of the famous financier, Jay Gould
was arrested yesterday morning as re-
suit of a general indignation meeting in
the fashionable Wastlake district.
The principal trouble alleged against
Miss Clark is her propensity for making
vocal noises of a somewhat discordant
nature
Residents Of the Westlake section de-
clare that she has disturbed the peace Of
that exclusive neighborhood for several
moons, but Miss Clark assures the police
that she is the victim of deplorable mis-
take etc.
The warrant resulting in Miss Clark
arrest is sworn to by Mrs. Amasa Spring
of 742 Lake street. She told Assistant
Prosecuting Attorney Eddy that the ne
gress had threatened to xii. her, and that
she had made the lives of herself and
Mrs Ralph Hagan, a neighbor, almost
unbearable by the use of vile epithets,
abusive language and boisterous songs
calculated TO mar the domestic felicity OF
her defsnseless listeners.
Mrs. Hough, who has been attended by
the negro woman for over ten years, is
declared by Mrs. Spring to be deaf. The
latter says she believes everything the
maid tells her. and that her mistress can
not hear the woman's abusive language
and loud singing.
Mrs w. S. Holland of 7a1 a. street
says the only far asesress is her
excessive religious enthusiasm. She Is the
only one 10 come to Miss Clarks defense
The Houghs came here from Chicago
ten years ago. and--although a sister Of
the dead money king--Mrs. Hough has
remained socially retired since making
her home here.

ASK COUNCIL TO RULE
ON VR00MAN ACCOUNTS
Finance Committee Recommends the
Transfer of Moneys from General
Expense to Engineers Fund
to Settle Case

The question of adjusting differences
existing between the auditors office and
the city engineers office. it is believed
has been settled by the councils finance
committee.
The committee recommends that $4l2 be
transferred from the general expense fund
to the city engineers fund, to take care
of the w. l.. Stellway National Bridge
company, Los Angeles Bridge and Con
struction company. Fairchild Gilmore
Wilton company and j. f. Greenough de-
mands
The sum of 5000 is also to be transferred
from the general expense fund to the city
engineers fund TO take care OF the Dom
aid Barker Carl Leonardt, L. A. stephens
and Ora-Grand l.. & S. C. demands
drawn by the engineers department
against the storm sewer bonds of 1908
which are charged by tho auditor against
the engineers fund.
The sum of 1858 will be similarly trans
ferred to take care of the demands OF
]. S. Mcbride for a rebate of assessment
In consideration of right of way, and the
sum of SO to take care of ]. T. Saunders
claim.
1t appears that the payroll for June
1907, amounting to s15,59S, and the payroll
for the Vrooman act inspectors for the
same month, amounting to $33S2, was not
charged against the engineers depart
ment in this fiscal year.
With regard to the claim of the engin
eers department to the proportion OF
500, 900 for expenses for the present fiscal
year did not include any sum for Vrc0.
man act inspectors, and as the sum OF
S1S,174 has already been spent on this ac-
count the committee asks for ruling
from the city council at this time and for
instructions to transfer this amount from
the general expense fund to the engineer
fund, and also to provide for future pay
ments if deemed right and proper.
The seventh recommendation is for q
proportion from the general expense fund
to the engineers fund. to take care of the
following current demands: Los Angeles
Bridge and Construction company, $202;
Barber Asphalt Paving company. S46 and
SPAS, and w w. Bramlette, $S72 and $3.50.

GIFT FROM STEP
FATHER BRINGS JOY
TO BOYS HEART
Nine.Year.oId Lad Anxiously Awaits
Birthday Anniversary and
Finds He Is Not For
gotten

One of those incidents which are, con-
stantiy occurring in every day life and
which form novel material for the writer's
of pure fction'' occurred in this city re-
Gently.
Little Vernon Simmons, a bright little
lad had his tenth birthday not long ago.
Long before the day he had thought to
himself how great he would be when he
was really years old. The thought of
it was enough to make him feel quite
weightily the full responsibility of life,
For he is a manly little fellow, and as
CHEEKY as the wealthiest boy in town.
But where his mother. Mrs. Gervais'
lives with him, his sister and little
brother there is no sign of wealth. The
house is plain, and Vernon has no great
abundance of playthings.
His mother some time ago married
second time The stepfather grew to be
fond of Vernon, although the boy was
merely a stepson. The lad fairly idolized
his stepfather and the two might be
termed brothers. Occasionally the father
leaves home and the sole support Of the
family falls upon the mother and the
daughter, the latter working in laundry.
The father had been from home for
some time previous TO Vernon's last birth
day anniversary, and the child knew he
probably would not receive any token of
the day. But he hoped as only boy can
hope and when the morning came he hur-
ried to open the front door.
There, tucked under the mat some time
during the night, was a little package. A
tiny package, but 1t filled the boys heart
with joy, for 1t was from his father. He
opened 1t with eager fingers, and found
therein a ring. The birthday had not
been forgotten by the stepfather, and the
day was n bright one for the boy, for
the day, the most important in the year
except Christmas, his birthday, had not
been forgotten

The Farmers Wife

Is very careful about her churn. She
scalds 1t thoroughly after using, and gives
1t sun bath to sweeten it. She knows
that If her churn is sour it will taint the
butter that is made In it. The stomach is
a churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro-
cesses which are almost exactly like the
churning of butter. Is it not apparent
then that if this stomach-churn is foul 1t
makes foul all which is put into it?
The evil Of foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by 1t, but the corruption OF
the pure current of blood and the dissem-
ination OF disease throughout the body.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
makes the sour and foul stomach sweet.
1t does for the stomach what the washing
and sun bath do for the churn-ab bsolutely
removes every tainting or corrupting ele-
ment. In this way it cures blotches,
pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings,
sores, or open eating ulcers and all
humors or diseases arising from bad blood.
If you have bitter, nasty, foul taste in
your mouth, coated tongue foul breath,
are weak and easily tired, feel depressed
and despondent, have frequent headaches,
dizzy attacks, gnawing or distress In stom-
ach, constipated or irregular bowels, sour
