coLoRADo's FLOOD DELAYED.

The Colorado River gage at Yuma, Tuesday, showed the remarkable fig ures of 21.S feet. Not for long peri cd has this season Of the year shown so low a stage of the Colorado, and it is watched with deep interest by those who know that the normal period for flood season is at hand So far, the seasons floods have not started, and it is the estimate of officials of the Cal ifornia Development Company, based on careful reports from Colorado, Wy oming and Utah, that there is only seventy-five per cent of the normal amount of snowfall upon the water sheds of these states, and that, if an average summer follows, the Colorado River will not reach more than a max imum gage of twenty-five feet. It would require a gage of 25.S to raise the water so that it would reach any part of the California Development Company's levee system. If but the twenty-fve-foot gage is reached, the rivers waters will not come within three-quarters of a mile of the main levee.

TO ONION GROWERS;

Ship your onions in sacks. Crates are too expensive. The barley sack is too large, the onions are liable to decay Our attention has been called to this, so we procured a sack that holds only sixty pounds, just two boxes of onions. It Is just the thing you want. Price of new sacks just from the factory $6.5O per one hun dred. We procured these sacks es- pecially for your use.
 After onions, plant Santa Claus Melon, Black Eye beans and field corn, adapted to your valley, The Mexican June and the Mammoth White, both are Texas grown seed, and for that reason are suited to your climate. One Texas grower says of the Mammoth White corn, After trying many varieties, we have found that the Mammoth White gives the best satisfaction in yield and quality It is the only large cared corn that ripens with the earliest varieties"

sMUeGLERs' CRAFT IN JEOPARDY

On March 19, United States customs officers, at CaleXico arrested Sam liar per and Howard Wade for smuggling whiskey from Mexicali and seized the horses and buggy, which they had hired from a livery stable. Proceed ings for confiscation of the outfit have been instituted in the Federal Court at Los Angeles, and the owners of the horses and buggy will have to ap- pear and show cause why their prop erty should not go the same route as that taken by the seized demijohns, kegs and bottles. In the running of contraband stuff, livery rig and a low, black, rakish schooner look alike to Uncle Sam.

COMPLAINS OF THE WEARIsoME WAYS OF JUSTICE IN
 ENsENApA.
American Interests Join in Petition for Court of First Instance and Offer to Pay Any Deficit in Revenues in Order to do Away With Delays.

Citizens of Mexicali have ambitions to raise that town to a higher standing in official circles and they seek to se- cure the establishment of a court of the first instance there. At the pres ent time cases proper for this court have to be taken to Ensenada, a dis tance by road of approximately 15O miles.
 The constantly expanding import ance of Mexicali and it's tributary country brings numerous cases into the court of the first instance in the course of each year. and it is felt by managers of the various large inter ests represented there that an injus- tice is done them in compelling a hear ing of each of these cases in the out. of-the-way town of Ensenada.
 Particularly trying have been the troubles over squatters on lands legal ly held by Americans. The Mexican law, it appears, gives the squatter cer. tain possessory rights if he is allowed to remain in undisturbed control of the lands for one year. In each of these cases there have been vexatious delays until the American interests across the international border have joined forces with the progressive ele- ment in Mexicali and seek to secure a court for that town.
 As all the machinery of the law is now located at Ensenada, it is assert ed that the higher officials are rather averse to giving Mexica1i a judgeship; and as an offset to the additional ex- pense which would be thus entailed, it is reported that the California De- yeiopment Company and the Califor- nia-Mexico Land & Cattle Company have agreed to offer to the Mexican government payment of all deficits after receipts and fees have been col lected, in case new court is estab- hshed.
 The court of the first instance cor responds to the county superior court in the United States; and In case of Americans getting into difficulties on the Mexican side of the line, they would be enabled to secure speedy trial, instead of having to languish in a Mexican jail, as has been the situa- tion in some cases heretofore.

The Most Common Cause of Suffering,

Rheumatism causes more pain and suffering than any other disease, for the reason that it is the most common of all ills, and 1t is certainly gratify- ing to sufferers to know that Cham. berlain's Pain Balm will afford relief, and make rest and sleep possible. In many cases the relief from pain, which is at first temporary, has become per manent, while in old people subject to chronic rheumatism. often brought on by dampness or changes in the weather, a permanent cure cannot be expected; the relief from pain which this liniment affords is alone worth many times it's cost. 25 and 50 cent sizes for sale at the Fl Centro drug store.

In Missouri ~ inches OF RAIN mas Iallen since JAIL
and most Of the land has been SO muddy that very
little corn or grain could be put in Iowa, Illinois
and in fact nearly every state In the middle west
has had ain over abundance of rain and the farm
ers will not do very well this year. Out in North
Dakota, we have just enough rain to make the
crops look we'll, and We are getting rains rgnt
along, Just when they are needed.
The following editorial copied from recent
number Of the Ladies Home Journal Is very op-
portune and If read by of the candy stands in
this city, might have tendency to induce the own
ers to protect their sweet meats from germs. Candy
should never be allowed to stand in windows un-
protected by glass; and we believe that the owner
should be compelled by the board of health of our
city to give that candy the necessary protection.
We should all do all in our power to stop the
spread of tuberculosis and other diseases.
Now that the primaries are over, we are 60
ing to 20 back to old custom and give our
readers some news. Help us along in this matter.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

rhev did an excellent thing in Indiana: eA-
acMv what ought to be done everywhere. Nos
In. % the state board of health in Indianapolis
descended upon lot Of street peddlers who sell
candies hopcorn and other confections. On tne
stands of these peddlers the BOARD plaeeo i'.' 1
laboratory plates, no more and no less piooo.0u
than the candies offered for sale. The VINO VIC"
mon those plates and the dust DESCENDED lhere
unon. The busy and curious fly came TO eAainlne'
ond ee,ecting to wipe his feet in his haste aaued
his contribution OF germs. After five minutes o.
exnosnre to wind dust and flies, threeinch plate
was taken to the laboratory, where some 'niee
thousand distinct colonies Of bacilli were dscoVe'eo
on It. Now the average bacillus Is very lnuusc
r,ous colonizer The colonies spread and grow anu
when the story of them got into the newspapers 1ne
,h,ic stomach rose in wrath and other violent emo
lions and every street peddler was forced to put
his merchandise under protecting grass anu w -
quickly. Naturally, the virtuous, rent-paylng mer
chants wagged approving heads and said II serveu
the rascals right. Then the same health autnorltles
visited the department stores OF these Vlrtuous'
rent-paying merchants, where rare perfumes anu
tuberculosis injected dust waited ABOUT ana
fined them in a police court for not keeping thelr
sweetmeats properly covered up. Now the sweet
toothed folk of Indianapolis are at least gettlns
cleaner andes. But not every state has board OF
health that is regardfu of health as Is the INDIANA
hoard. So it is a neat and timely question to ask
those who buy andes at unprotected stands or
counters all over the country: What do you eat with
your candy-typhoid germs or the bacllh OF tuDer
culosis?

Appellant seeks to have respond
ent adjudged an involuntary trustee
of certain real property. The COM
plant alleges that the property form
erly belonged to one Charles Will
liams, plaintiffs father, who died in
March, 1897, the respondent being
the plaintiffs mother and widow of
the deceased. That nearly a year
prior to the death of Charles Will
liams the property was sold at fore
closure sale to the Middlesex Bank
ing Co., who assigned the certificate
of sale to the Farm Land Co., and no
redemption having been made, the
latter company acquired title to the
premises through such foreclosure
proceedings. Respondent thereafter
purchased said land from the Land
Co., and she is sought to be charged
as an involuntary trustee thereof to
the extent of a one-third interest
therein, upon the theory that she as
natural guardian Of plaintiff COM
mitted breach Of duty in not re-
deeming from such foreclosure sale.
The complaint contains allegations
as to fraudulent conduct and breach
of duty on respondents part, but
such. allegations are mere conclus-
ions of law and have no effect. The
complaint contains no allegation that
respondent had any trust funds, or
any funds in her possession or con-

MUCH INTEREST
SHOWN in DAIRYING
SINCE THE DAIRY CONVENTION
in BISMARCK MANY MEET
lNGS ARE HELD
NEW SETTLERS ENTHUSIASTIC
OVER NATURAL ADVANTAGES
FOR THAT BUSINESS
NUMBER OF NEW CREAMERY
ASS'NS HAVE BEEN FORMED
OF LATE

At no time in the history of North
Dakota has there been such activity
along dairy lines as at the present.
The Dairymen's Convention at Bis.
marck, January 81 and %, has oeen
followed by numerous dairy meetings
in various localities west of the Mis-.
souri, river.
These meetings have been held in
private homes and in school houses
and in every instance have been we'll
attended, the asemblages numbering
from twenty to over hundred per-
sons.
AT nearly every meeting were found
| former patrons Of creameries in To-
wa, Wisconsin or Minnesota and in
many instances dairymen from all
three states and others as we'll.
These new settlers are enthusiastic
over the natural advantages found in
the western portion of the state for
dairying and many living some dis.
lance from shipping points desire to
convert the grains grown into as con.
centrated and valuable a commodity
as is possible.
The experience OF the dairymen
from the older states and the know
ledge of the success attained by the
dairymen at New Salem, Hebron and
Glen Ullin stimulates these new set
tiers as well as the older ones to
build creameries where they may pat
ronize them.
The creamery buildings will be con-
structed by the farmers themselves
from stone, concrete Or lumber. thus
limiting the cash outlay to the ma
chinery and other necessities that are
not obtainable in their locality.
Creamery companies have been or
ganized as follows:

bet P. O., Oliver county, northwest of

Meetings have also been held at
Hazen, Mercer county, at the Green
River church, northwest of Dickinson
IL miles in Dunn county and at Beach.
Meetings will be held this week at
HANOVER, on the Gath, Oliver county.
Dickinson 26th, and at Sweet Brier
Goth. A meeting is also desired at
Stanton, Mercer county and no doubt
others will be held before the spring
season opens.
1t is interesting to note how croseiy
dairy activity is following the ranches
At recent Melby meeting were found
several ranchmen, all anxious for the
establishment of creamery and the
president elect of the association is
a rancher himself, who pledged in
good faith to milk number Of cows
and patronize the creamery.
