NEW HIGH LINE PLUME
Will Carry Water to Lands Lying South of HotviIIe and Hitherto
 Considered Useless.

Work was begun during the pres ent week on the construction of the new high line Hume, which is to carry water to the high lands lying south of Holtville and on the west side of the Alamo River. Hitherto these lands have been considered useless on a5- count of their elevation over ,~ the ditches of Water Company Ne. l, but recent arrangement transfers them to Water Company No. z, which un- dertakes the construction of the new Hume.
 The 1uming of the water across the Alamo River will serve double pu-- pose, says the HoItville Tribune, that of carrying water and serving as q county bridge.
 The~/upper portion or deck will be used as a county bridge and under pGath the water will be carried through forty inch pipes. It will take about 600 feet, of pipe to span the river At present only one line of pipe will be put in, but arrangements will be made so that two more fumes can be added at any time needed. The fumes and bridge will be located about six and one half miles southeast of HoltvilIe and crossing the Alamo at this point will save. the ranchers liv- ing in that section about two miles of drive in going to HoltVille.

The ONE TONIC FOR
DELICATE PEOPLE
Nursing Mothers and Women
Who Need More Strength Find
DR.. Williams Pink Pills Per-
fectly Adapted to Their
Wants.

Some women recover their strength
very slowly after an acute illness, after
childbirth and other conditions of ex-

assist nature is a tonic and, especially
In the case of the nursing mother, care
must be taken that it is a safe tonic, one
from which the increased strength of
the mother will be shared by the child.
Debilitated persons are very liable to
have weak digestions and in such cases
the tonic remedy must be one that is ac-
,eptable to the most delicate stomach.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills give to the
blood the elements necessary to make it
pure and red. For this reason they are
the best tonic for all rundown condi-
lions of the body. The experience of
Mrs. L. Davis, of No. 400 Park avenue,
st. Paul, Mimi, proves the worth of
these pills. She says:
For two years after the birth Of my
child was in a greatly rundown con-
ditiOn. I was too weak to do my work.
L was very pale and thin and reduced in
weight. 1t seemed as though there was
no blood in my veins. / could not get
rest at night as ! was very nervous.
was subject to splitting headaches.
''The doctors said was suffering with
lack of blood and was all run down.
They did not do me any good and was
discouraged. On one visit to the doctor
he said that he would try one more
thing and if that did not help me he did
not know what to give me. When
left his Office tore up the prescription
and went to drug store where bought
a box of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
They seemed to help me and I soon
began to have an appetite. continued

When the heart action is
weak, it fails to pump the blood
through the lungs with sufficient
rapidity. Then the lungs do not
absorb the proper amount of
oxygen, although they may be
taking in a normal amount of
air. The result is shortness of
breath, smothering spells, diff
cult breathing, oppressed feeling
in chest. DR.. Miles Heart Rem
edy strengthens the heart nerves
and muscles, and in this way
increases the circulation.

International System.

San Antonio, Tex, Oct. 5.-The clos
ing of contracts here for the construc-
ton of railroads from Brady to San
Antonio, Texas, and from San Antonio
to Rio Grande, is declared to be the
final act in the plans of b. F. YOakum

behest of separate promoters, who have
not announced the identity of those
financing the projects
Connection is had at Brady with the
Frisco and the line south from this

Brownsville & Mexico railway at Rio
Grande City. Both are Yoakum roads.
At Brownsville the Rio Grande is be-
ing bridged at Matamoras on the Mex
lean side. and a line is in progress to
Tampico, which is heralded as
Yoakum road, thus spreading a COM
plete network over the southwest, with

New Line VIII Extend From Wichita
to BenkeIman Neb.

Kansas City. Oct. 5.-Grain grow
ers of central Kansas are much in
terested in the proposed north-and-
south road, known on paper as the
Kansas & Northwestern, and those
back of it are actively pushing the
project toward realization. Dr. Ivan
B. Parker of Hill City, Kan, is one
of the directors of the proposed
road and when in Kansas City
recently expressed faith in it.
ut is our purpose to build the
road from Wichita northwestward to
Benkelman, Neb., where it will con-
meet with the Burlington" said DR..
Parker. "At other points it will
make important connections with the
Santa Fe, Missouri Pacific, Rock
Island, the main line of the Union
Pacific and it's Lincoln branch. Thus
farmers in the territory affected
could ship their grain to gulf ports
at something like 5 to cents
cheaper on the hundredweight than
the present rate. One director has
been selected from each county
traversed by the survey and it is ex-
pected that every county touched by
the road will bond it at $4,000 per
mile in addition to the popular stock
subscriptions. In Graham county,
where I live, feel sure that the
railroad bonds will be voted by the
people 4 to l."

Man Who Was Hung in Effigy Says
Officers Conspired With Mob.


Deerfield, Kan, Oct. SC. R. Oak
ford, the editor of the Deerfeld News,
of this city, has decided to bring suit
against the mayor, city marshal and
police judge because they would not
let him secure the effigy made CT him
self and hung by the mob in this city
several days ago.
The Deerfield editor, who is So
cialist of the type so loved by Fred
Warren and Eugene V. Debs, wrote a
piece in his paper in which he severe
ly criticised President Taft because
Mr. Taft is to shake hands with Pres
ident Diaz of Mexico. The people of
this city, or a part of them, did not
like the expressions Mr.. Oakford used
in his paper and to show their disap-
prevail they constructed an effigy and
strung the thing up properly labeled
so that people would know for whom
it was intended.
In speaking of the matter Mr.. Oak
ford said he was not positive who the
people were that constructed and exc
cuted the effigy, but he wanted to
take a picture of it t0 be used in evil
dence. While this VS. being done, he
says, the mayor, police judge and city
marshal interfered and had the thing
taken away before the photographer
could get his camera focused on it.
This act, Mr.. Oakford thinks, was Il
sort of collision with the mob in that
it prevented him from obtaining evil
dence. So he has determined to pros
ecute the officials of this city.

X. U. GIRLS HAVE NEW PLAN.
Will Bank With Each Other ard Lead
Simple Life.


Lawrence, Kan. Oct. 5.-Inspired by
the plea for the simple life made
by Chancellor Strong of the University
of Kansas. il his opening chapel adj
dress u few days ago, number of
K. U. girls have taken up a scheme
de cidedly unique. IN his talk the chan
cellor criticised what he termed the
reckless expenditure of money which
seems to be characteristic among the
students who are not in degree at
least Self-SuppOrting.
TO curb all unnecessary expendi-
'1res, several girls in their second, third
] fourth years of the university have
Ken up a plan whereby each is to
take charge OF another's money. When
each girl receives her allowance from
home, it is given to one of the other
girls, who portions it out to the owner
in just such amounts as she thinks IS
due her for the necessary expenditures
from day to day. and in turn has to
get money for her own expenditures IN
the same manner from some other girl
who has charge of her allowance. NO
two girls are allowed to have charge
of each others money, for such
scheme would be conducive to trading,
and the benefits would be lost.
The money belonging to each OF the
girls will be kept in the bank, but not
Under the control Of the one to whom
it really belongs. The plan now is that
for ordinary expenditures in which
each girl is subject to the same con-
ditions a certain amount will be nxed,
and in no case will the allowance be al
lowed to exceed this amount. Also for
luxuries there will be a stipulated
amount per week. and each girl will
be required to keep within the limit
no matter what her allowance from
home may happen to be.
The scheme adopted is a new one and
will be watched with interest to see II
it works out in practice as we'll as it
sounds in theory.
