AUTOMOBILE ROAD.
Highway to San Diego Would Insure
 Telephone Line.

President Collier, of the San Diego Chamber of Commerce, urges the SUI pervisors of that county to cooperate with Imperial County in making the road between San Diego and Fl Cen tro navigable by automobiles c. H.. Bigelow, who recently made the trip in a motor car and found all the bad places in the road, says he will build a long-distance telephone line from San Diego into the valley as soon as the road is improved, so that the line can be kept up.
 A survey of the road is the first requisite. When the amount of work necessary and the cost are determined it may be found advisable to issue county bonds and build the road under the provisions of the Highway Con- mission Act.

COMPLAINTS AGAINST DAIRYMEN

Complaints have been made against the Wilsie and Haskell dairies by Inspector J. l.. Starr of the State Dairy Bureau for failure to comply with instructions given last year. The inspector visited dairies in the valley and told the owners what they should do to comply with the law and keep their places in sanitary condition.
 Finding no improvement this year he has begun prosecutions. Other dairies in the valley will be inspected and if similar conditions are found, prosecutions will follow.

MISCELLANEOUS LINERS
WIND AND WATER.

Brawley escaped water famine last week through the kindly offices of Old Boreas, The pumping plant for the domestic water service is operated by electric motor, and, when the injunc- tion went into effect, shutting off water from the Holton electric power plant, the juice" was cut off from electric lights and motors. Fortunately, the old windmill had been retained as an auxiliary to the pumping force, and Saturday the wind blew a stiff breeze all day, thus allowing the supply tank to become we'll filled with water. A gas engine will be secured soon for the pumping plant.

The managers of the American Press association paid a unique trib~ ute 10 lhe founder Of the Organiza- tiOn he late Orlando ]. Smith, who was buried at Dobbs Ferry last Tues day. The Press in it's last edition published only the account of the life, death and funeral of Mr Smith, the tributes paid to his memory by friends who knew his worth. and the paid announcements. All refer enCe to the business of tho concern was removed from its columns, and every column rule was made to pay it's tribute to the man who made the Press what 1t is, and who brought the American Press association from a very small beginning to the place it occupies at present. All who ever had dealings with Mir Smith regret his death and offer their sincerest sympathy to his family, relatives and friends.

The greatest difficulties eXperl- enced hy the metallurgists in the West Australian gold fields arose from the scarcity of water, says q writer in Engineering Magazine. The mines were situated in arid districts. between 800 and 400 miles westward from lhe sea and coastal rivers, and lhe only sources of supply in the mining camps were tho mine waters, mineral springs and desert salt pans. All the ground water was full of al- kali and he miners were compelled to disuu the alkaH water to obtain supplies for drinking and domestic purposes. The scarcity. however. was remedicd early in 1903. The government clearly recognized the economic yame of the gold discover jos and, while in" mining boom was on boldly undertook to supply the principal mining communities with good water It's scheme was. in addi- tiou To being inc greatest of its kind. unique in other respects The esti- mated requirements of the fields amounted q 5,000,0Oo gallons of water per da> After numerous sur voys had been made, it was deter mined 10 run wcir across the IIel- ena river, near Nundaring. and pump tho water thus collected ill 21e feet rivefed steel conduits a. distance of 35l l2 miles to Bulla Bulinc. \ con crete weir 7fo feog in width and 100 feet in height was constructed across the river. This formed a reservoir with q storage capacity of 4.6OO .OOO.- 900 gallons and daily output ca pacity of 5,000 GOO gallons. The main service reservoirs from which the towns and mines of fhr gold fields are supplied ie situared al Bulla BuIling, twenIy-one miles east ward from Coolgarde. This reser- voir has an elevation of 1.29O feet above the level of the Mundaring reservoir. The water is pumped from Mundaring to the Bulla Bulling reservoir by steam pumps operating

After having become one of the WeaIthiest men in the world on ac- count of profits made out of the steel business. particularly in connection with the formation of the United States Steel corporation, and after having been a protectionist all his life, the sudden attack made by An drew Carnegie on the protective tar if came as a distinct surprise to the country. It is true that Mr Carne- gie has not been noted for keeping himself long in the background, but one would hardly have thought that he would seek the limelight of pub licity and advocate free trade with out having good solid reasons to sup port his position After having de- Clined an invitation to appear before the ways and means committee of the house of representatives, Mr Car negie appeared Monday in response to d subpoena, and instead of giving earnest thoughtful testimony back cd hy carefully prepared estimates of costs. as was done by MT Schwab, Judge Gary and other steel manufac- turers. Mr Carnegie treated the whole subject as little more than a joke.

THE GROWING OF TREES.
Increased Need for Private Forestry
 Says Agriculture Department.

In it's application to the manage
 ment of private holdings forestry mas Jagged far behind its record or pro-
 gress on the national forests, says
 the secretary of Agriculture in his
 annual report which has just been ls-
 sued. With a fast diminishing tim
 Der supply and steadily rising lumber
 prices the vast bulk of our cutting
 is done destructively. This is mat fer which seriously concerns the pub lie welfare.
 Ten years ago the department or agriculture offered, in pursuance or investigations in forestry, and in or der to disseminate knowledge or improved ways of handling forest lands. to cooperate with prlVate owners through expert advice and as sistance in planning and putting into practice forest management for thelr holdings. The investigations thus made possible were of the first i'm portance. But for them the govern
 ment would have been altogether un- prepared to undertake six years later the scientific management of the na- tional forests. They were in fact the foundation and virtually the begin ming of practical forestry in the United States.
 This offer has never been with
 drawn. The work which its fulfill ment involved was the chief cause of the rapid growth of the forest service between 1898 and 1905. Since 1905, however. the necessity of providing first of all for the needs of the na- tional forests has compelled curtail- ment of expenditures for general in vestigations, since neither men nor money have been available to carry | them on. There has been a steady in- | crease in the number of informal ap- | plications, but many of these were not encouraged to fill out the neces- sary blanks. since neither men nor 1 money were available to make the examination.
 There is urgent need to enlarge 1 this work. The time is ripe for d widespread taking up of forestry by 1 private owners of timber land, large ! and small, if the forest service can be ! III ct posllloH lo Sulue anu dSSist f' l general movement through fulfill ment of its offer None of the na- 1 tional forests is east of the Missis-
 sippi river, and nine-tenths of the eX- i penditures of the service are on be- 1 half of the national forests. It is a
 national duty to protect and put to
 best use this great resource which is
 directly under the charge of the gov
 ernment; but it is no less nation
 al duty to promote in the east the
 spread of methods through which this
 part of the country also can preserve 1 it forests"

WHEN THE KIDNEYS GIVE OUT

Do you ever feel that you simply cant go any further--that you must have rest for that lame and aching .back-relief from that constant dead, tired feeling from those ,stabbing, darting pains?
 This is the condition that so often comes at middle age, bringing with it an extreme nervousness and irrita- bility that makes others think you ."cranky" and hard to get along with"
 Likely your kidneys are worn and Etired and need help. In any ma ,shine there is one part that works the hardest and gives out first. The kid neys work night and day, removing from the blood the uric acid and iotber waste created by over use of strength and energy. Naturally a life of unusual activity doubles the duties of the kidneys, and in time the strain tells.
 With healthy kidneys one has a good chance to live long. but weak kidneys affiict old age with great dis comforts. The back becomes bent and lame, rheumatism is chronic, eye sight fails, and too frequent or Involuntary passag ges of the urine cause embarrassment by day and loss of sleep at night.

AS \ BUSINESS.

Again and again my humorous toners who had once regarded my signature as a positive guarantee ot literary excellence, and at-last-l was forced to seek new muckraking en- poyment at the hands of the same ed itor who had first tempted me from my legitimate path, writes Senlal satirisl in the January Appleton S, But, oh. what a change had taken place since I last did business with him, He listened with polite atten- ton to my proposal. but when l of fered to work for the same price thaI he had formerly paid me he shook his head decisively and said: Is 1t possible that you have not heard of the awful drop in the prices of muck raking? A few years ago we were obliged to pay very large wages, but that was when il was regarded as 9 difficult art or profession; now it is merely q craft that ranks with basket weaving and can be followed at home by the women and children of the family Besides he said, every thing has been investigated to the last point of endurance. and now that the bill to kill pigs by chloroform has been vetoed, and it is impossible to obtain d hearing for any enact ment designed to prevent horned cat tie from dying by anything short of nervous prostration, even the long suffering American public has reached the limit oG it's hysteria and credulity.'
 "There was no course open to me but to accept his terms. am now Il muck-raker for life and l do not mind saving that this line of work has brought more sorrow into our trade than anything that could have happened to it-not excepting even return 10 the old time custom of paying only on publication and no; always then Come with me and l will show you what undertaking has done for the unfortunate FairyieW family"
 He led the way into a room orig, finally intended for a parlor. but now fitted up with work benches and stools. Here I was presented to Mrs Fairview and her eldest daughter who was putting the finishing touch es 10 Graft in the Toothpick Trust" and were so busy that they scarcely paused in their work when. We en- tered. In the dining room the young CT children were filling a Fearless Expose of Society," with undeniable facts. and on a table in the best bed room stood the work on which John Fairview himself had been engaged at the moment of my arrival. Ho pointed to the manuscript with . thin. toll stained finger and said That is one of the finest pieces of undertaking ever turned out in this household It is a fearless exposure of what goes on in the sewers and yet I have hard work to dispose of it. I would not have sold il at all. per haUs. if ii had not been for my very apt and attractive title.
 And what was tnat?' asked,
