Last Two Decades Add 10000 to Their
Number.

The popular idea that the American
Indians are decreasing in number is
d ssipated by official figures showing to-
day that there are more than 100000
red men in the United States. The in
crease in population of about 10000
during the last two decades is attrib-

the Los Alimitos Sugar company re-

the patents. The decision also will af-
feet the beet sugar industry all over

reflects great credit on the engineers
who have had charge of it.
But something must be done to
relieve the present situation, which is
one of disappointed hopes to many set
tiers upon the arid lands, who, count
ing upon an early completion of the
projects undertaken, have invested
their money and spent their time and
seemed to be no nearer the goal of sat
isfactory irrigation than they were
when the projects were begun.
81 think it wise to apply to con-
gress for relief by urging the passage
of an enabling act which shall permit
the secretary of the interior to issue
bonds In the sum of $10,000,000 or
more to complete all the projects now
projected.
"These bonds should be redeemed
from the money paid into the reclama-
ton funds after the completion of the
projects.
From conversation with the SEN
ators who have visited much of the
reclamation work and given an exam

proposal as this seems to them to be

The president on the subject of irri-
cation, said:
1.-THE plan of the government to re-
claim the arid and semiarid lands,
manifested in the reclamation act, has
been carried out most rapidly by the
bureau charged with its execution.
~ had the honor the other day in
Colorado of opening the most ambi-
tious of these projects, at least the
most difficult of them-the Gunnison
tunnel--which is to bring water INTO
a valley in Colorado known as the IN
eompaghre valley, with 10000 acres,
and TO put it in condition to grow
fruit and cereals.
sfThere are 80 projects which have
been entered upon by the reclamation
bureau, and l believe all Of them are
10 be commended for their excellent
adoption for the purpose for which they
were erected and for the speed with
which the work has been done.
cit is said, however, that in the plan
ming of a number of these improve
nents the enthusiasm of the projectors
has carried them to point where they
begin to feel embarrassed in the mat
fer of resources with which to complete
the projects, and begin to show that
prudence was not closely observed by
those engaged in executing the act
that the projects were too many, and
more than could be completed in
reasonable time after their beginning
because of lack of funds.
"The reclamation act provides foi
the expenditure of funds made up OF
the sale of public lands and reimbursed
from time to time by the installments
TO be paid by the settlers who take
up the irrigated land, and it also pro
vides that no part of project is t.
be contracted for or begun until thu
money for the completion Of that par
of the project contracted for shall b'
in the reclamation fund.
''Now it appears that it will taxi
$40 900 900 or more which is not avail
able in the reclamation. fund at pres

hope and upon the reliance that sue

ably have been wiser to adhere strict
to the limitation thus construed, eve
though the language of the act, by d
viding up the projects into parts

of more projects than there was likel
to be money enough to complete With
a reasonable time.

yielded to the pressure within the lie

in ; Hours.

A prominent medical man. who suffered
with a severe cough and cold on the lungs,
often being kept awake all night, and weak
ened by loss OF sleep, finally discovered a
simple formula which will cure any cough in
Ave hours by the clock. It is laxative
tonic cough syrup which can be made at
home by any one and the formula is here

and George Sweet were victorious, kill
ing one of the men and putting the
other to fight.
The dead man is Baseom Wallace
whose home is in Douglas county.
The man who escaped was Tom
Greenman, and he was wounded
The battle occurred near Nine Mile
bridge, at about shutdown. Deputy
Sheriffs Logan, Sweet, Long and Doak
of Spokane had located a bunch of
stolen cattle and were waiting for the
men who had them in charge. The Off
GERS had separated, Logan and Sweet
being concealed on the edge of bluff
when they saw Wallace and Green
man approach. They ordered them to
throw up their hands, but the only
reply they received was a fusilade of
shots.
Ewing Pershall and Dwight Per-
shall, said to be the other two mem
bers of the gang, were arrested in Spo-
kane by Deputy Sheriffs Doak and Ryan
and taken to the county Jail
According to the officers the four
