Tuesday May a We begin the
sale of the famous Tri State land
at SCOTS Bluffs, Neb., said to be
the finest single body Of irrigated
land in the United States, embrac-
ing %, 900 acres, Of which 10000
acres will be sold Immediately.
This land Is owned by the Tn
State Land Company, Of which h.
A. Cndahv is president, and is nn-
der the Great Tri-State Canal,
one Of the largest systems OF lrrI-
cation IN the west, constructed al
a cost of 100000. Six four horse
teams. "a horses. ear stand abreast
across the bottom of the canal,
which for the first few miles is
ninety feet wide on the bottom. 1t
is half again as large as the I'M
mense government Pathfinder can
al. It's headgates, dams, intakes,
wasteways and drops, are wholly
constructed of steel and reinforced
concrete. Its every part repre-
sents the highest achievement of
modern engineering skill and work
%manship.
The Tri. State Land Co. has prac-
ticalIy the first water right out
of the North Platte river, and for
an immense amount of water.
When 1t is also remembered that
the South Platte waters all the
Colorado irrigated land at Fort
Collins, Greeley, Fort Morgan,
Brush, Sterling and Julesburg, and
supplies only one-fourth as much

ton; loo bushels of oats at 40 cents
per bnshel.
Third-It is a singular thing
that while the majority of farmers
who buy irrigated land know moth
ing of irrigation, you IA never in
terest an irrigation farmer in any
other kind of land He doesn't
have TO understand all about lrri-
CATION to succeed. The ditch rider
knows and the farmer soon knows.
Fourth - While your Eastern
Nebraska land will 90 on up TO
$50 per acre, il may then stop, or
it may go back TO $50 or $75, like
the same land did IN Pennsylvania,
Ohio and New York. But your
irrigated land, increasing It's fertil-
ity and producing power each sue
ceeding year, will do like the other
irrigated land in this country and
Europe-go on up to 5000, $500,
500 and $500 per acre, and will
not simply keep YOU but will
make you rich.
This land lies so perfectly that
a fiat price eff SO per acre has been
fixed on all uncultivated land and
$50 upon cultivated land; hence
the first excursionists have the
choice of the entire tract. Our
first excursion on Tuesday, May a..
will be made especially attractive,
and each agent is limited to two
buyers. A regular excursion will
be run every two weeks.

CITIES WHICH ADVERTISE.
spokane, Buffalo, Rochester and
Other Towns Seek Publicity.

Spokane maintains publicity
bureau that supplies the newspapers
throughout the country with inter-
esting items. thus keeping the name
constantly in the public eye.
Colorado Springs and san Anto-
Mo also have publicity bureaus that
work along similar lines. Denver
relies for its advertising almost en-
tirely on the bringing Of conyen-
lions TO the city.
SO does Seattle. says the Spring
field Union. the idea being that
strangers will carry back with them
favorable impressions and some OF
them will either return as permanent
residents or influence friends who
may contemplate a change Of resi-
dence.

HEAVY BUSINESS
FOR RAILROADS
COMMISSIONER KNAPP SAYS
THIS YEAR MIGHT SET A
NEW RECORD.
A Shortage of Cars Is Looked For As
Result of the Tremendous
Crops 10 BE Moved.
RECORD OF 1907 SURPASSED

Washington, Aug. 17.-Heavier
business than ever has been known
in a single year is looked for by
Chairman Knapp of the interstate
commerce commission for the Amer
lean railroads during the present
fiscal year.
A serious situation anticipated not
only by Knapp but by other officials
of the commission. and by operat-
ing railroad men generally, is that
there may be shortage of cars.
Crop prospects are considered so
bright that the likelihood is that
transportation companies may be
taxed beyond their capacity to han
die the freight that will be offered
them. A
Already, according TO the figures
submitted to the commission, rail-
roads in considerable number have
recovered from the low business
pressure of year and a half ago,
and now are handling almost as
much traffic as they handled In the
rush months of 1897, which was the
banner year in American railroad
ing.
In the views of Knapp. the car
riers are now in a better position to
carry freight offered than they were
in 1907, and he said today that 1t

II. w. WALKER co. SUCCESSFUL
After a great deal of effort and
correspondence r. w. Walker Co.,
the popular druggists, have succeed
ed in getting the DR.. Howard Co., to
make a special half-price introduce
tory offer on the regular fifty cent
size of their celebrated specific for
the cure of constipation and dyspep-
STA.
This medicine is a recent discov-
cry for the cure of all diseases of the
stomach and bowels. 1t sot only
gives quick relief. but it makes per-
manent cures.
DR.. Towards specific has been so
remarkably successful in curing con-
stipation, dyspepsia and all liver
troubles, that R. W. Walker Co.. are
willing to return the price paid in
every case where II does not give re-
lief.
So great is the demand for this
specific that r. w. Walker Co. have
been able to secure only a limited
supply. and every one who is trou-
bled with dyspepsia, constipation or
liver trouble should call upon them
at once, or send 25 cents, and get
sixty doses of the best medicine ever
made, on this special half-price offer
with their personal guarantee to re-
fund the money IL it does not cure

would not surprise him If that year s
record were broken this year.
"The railroads learned a good les
son in 1907" said Knapp. They
we're absolutely unable to handle
promptly the traffic offered them.
Since that time they have added ma
terially to their equipment, have inn
proved their roadbeds and in every
respect have increased their facili-
ties. / do not doubt that this year
will be a red-letter period for them
and for the country"
Generally II is expected. however
that shortage of cars will result
this fall from the increased business
of the carriers, and some embarrass'
ment by shippers may be looked for
as a consequence.

Ryan Invented a Blow.


Tommy Ryan was, probably, the
first modern fighter to really invent
a blow, and to this day it remains
peculiarly his own. Always careful
of his hands, he fell into the habit
of dealing a hail-liSe blow with his
wrist, and in this manner discovered
that a blow on the neck, just back
of the ear. was wonderfully effective.
Small wonder, for it thunders right
over the mastoid process, torturing
and paralyzing.

it. but men when they see a fat woman
pass them on the street or in public
places make all manner of sympathetic
remarks about her. They do not mean
To be unkind or to seem unmanly, but

A TOBACCO REPORT
Agriculture Department Sub
mits Some Interesting
Figures.
KENTUCKY is THE LEADER
palladium Specially


Washington, Dec. An interesting
report just issued by the Department
of Agriculture on tobacco production
in the United States. shows while some
tobacco is produced in almost every
state less than / per cent of this coun
trys crop is grown west of the Missis
sippi, Texas being the only TRANSMITS
sissippi state in which the industry has
gained much Importance.
Kentucky leads all the states in to-
bacco growing 1t produces more
than one-third of the United States's
crop. and about one-ninth of the en-
tire crop of the world
The tobacco grown in the United
States is of two general types or class
| es, cigar tobacco and chewing. smok
| ing snuff, and export tobaccos. In
! 1908 something more than 100 million
pounds of cigar tobacco was grown il
| the United States. and nearly four
| times that amount of the other types.
The cigar tobaccos are grown most
! ly in New England. Pennsylvania.
Ohio and Wisconsin. though there is a
considerable and rapidly increasing
production of this type in Georgia
| Florida and Texas. The tobacco used
for chewing, smoking. snuff and ex-
port are produced most heavily in
Kentucky, Tennessee. North Carolina
Virginia and South Carolina.
Tobacco production is largely con
fined to certain clearly defined dis
tricts, each of which produces spe-
cial type and fills demand for tina,
type. The kind of tobacco grown in
particular districts depends mainly
on the soil and climate conditions.
