| which nine are entirely completed and
| ten more are more than half done.
''The total area that will be redeem

prises are completed will be 2,292, 346
acres and the estimated cost will be
$S9,431,6OO, of which S42,O91,O00 has
already been expended.
"Some Of these enterprises are very
interesting. That at Vinidoka, Idaho,
diverts water from the Snake river on
both banks, and when the pumping
works are completed about sixty thous-
and acres, now covered with sage
brush on either side, can be brought
under cultivation.
s"The Payette- Boise project, which is
about half completed, provides for the
storage of water upon both the Payette
and Boise rivers for the irrigation OF
80, 900 acres. at cost OF nearly nVe
million dollars.

TO RIVAL CHICAGO.
Immense New Stock Yards to Be
Established i'm New jersey.

New York, Jan. 4.-According to plans
which have been announced here, inn
mense stock yards, rivalling in capacity
those of the west are to be constructed
on the Hackensack meadows in New
Jersey. In connection with the yards
there will be modern slaughter houses
designed to supply cheaper and fresher
meat for Greater New York and vicin-
ity as well as to compete for the
worlds trade. The organization, 1T is
said, will be capitalized for 10 million
dollars. Plans for the proposed pack
cry have progressed so far that surveys
for the yards are now being made by
engineers. Fifteen hundred acres will
be used.
Not a dollar of Chicago or other west
ern capital is to be used in the project,
it is said, but it is to be backed by
English and Canadian capitalists. Work
on the buildings will begin this spring
and it is expected that some of the
plants will be in operation by the fall
of 1909.
The new plant is to be situated be-
tween Secaucus and West New York,
n. J., in direct line with the Pennsyl-
vania railroads tunnel connection with
New York city and connection with the
Lackawanna, Lehigh Valley, Jersey
Central, Baltimore & Ohio Reading,
Erie and other railroads. 1t will be
comparatively as easy task to construct
a belt line to the yards. Further trans
portation facilities will be afforded by
dredging the Hackensack river and
Newark bay to connect with channel
now under construction.

Don't Blame
Your Stomach
When Without Exertion or Cost You
Can Enjoy Meals and Cure
Dyspepsia.

Don't blame your stomach or your
luck when your meals declare war on
your system.
When the stomach won't do it's work
it is because it cannot.
When foul smelling odors come from
your stomach, when the head aches
and the sourness of mouth every morn
ing makes you hate your breakfast,
when dreams and nightmare assail
you don't give up the fight
This is the appeal of nature, and it
should be heard.
Over-eating, late suppers, poorly
chewed food, too rich pastries and un-
der-done cooking are some of the
causes of the stomach's i'll health.
When the stomach is busy, it presses
and churns all the liquid matter from
food and with it's juices dissolves into
liquid form or pulp everything which
comes into it.
If such food be poisonous it effects
the juices, attacks the stomach, goes
into the blood and weakens the entire
system.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
a full meal easily without material as
sistance from the stomach. They will
restock the gastric fluid with all the
elements needed. They build up the
blood. destroy sour taste, bad breath,
belching stomach and bowel trouble
and quickly restore natural conditions.
One grain of Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tab
lets will digest 5000 grains of food in
the stomach or in a glass vial without
aid of the human digestive apparatus.
The method of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are the methods of Nature
They contain every requisite for the
stomach and digestion. After a meal
one of these little tablets when it en-
tiers the stomach mingles with the
juices. attacks the food and digests it.
1t removes the fermented and decayed
mass, lying stagnant there and eases
the stomach at once.
1t is wholly a question for you to
solve. Your druggist will furnish Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets SOC the box.

USES JOHN DIS WORDS,
NIoffet Puts RoclzefeIIer's Lines Into
a Play.

New York, Jan. 4.-The appearance
of John D. Rockefeller's memoirs occa-
stoned somewhat of a surprise, but the
announcement that he had hand in
the writing of Cleveland Moffet's
play, 1.-The Battle" now appearing at
local theater, caused even more COM
ment as to the unique versatility of the
oil man. According to Mr. Moffet sew
eral lines of Mr.. Rockefeller's are to be
used with his full knowledge and con-
sent, have been inserted in the dialogue
and will be used beginning Thursday
night.
These are the lines:
1T is not merely capital and plants;
it is not merely the strictly material
things which make up a business, but
the character of the men behind these
things. their personalities and their
abilities.
The men of this generation are en-
tering into heritage which makes
their fathers lives look poverty strick-

tic lines and the words purported to be
Mr.. Rockefeller's will be spoken by

BLAMES HARTMAN.
Heney Says Railroad King Is Real
Source of Frisco Corruption.

Philadelphia, Jan. 4.-Francis J. Hen
ey of San Francisco, who prosecuted
the graft" cases in that city, in a
speech at the City club, declared that E.
H. Hartman of New York, through his
control of the Southern Pacific rail-
road, was responsible for the graft
and corruption in the Golden Gate city.
With Abe Ruef and Hartman was
linked the head of the United Railways
corporation of San Francisco by Mr..
Heney, but the real boss, he said, sits
in New York and has as one of his
chief agents in California w. F. Her
rim, general counsel of the Southern Pa
cific railroad.
better than the average American city,
Mr.. Heney said, with the single ex-
ception, of course. of Philadelphia, and
even here you have nothing like that
we unearthed in my city. But the causes
of corruption are the same in all cities
Two Evil Forces Working.
In San Francisco we found two ele-
ments at work. Coming from one source
was the public service corporation and
from another was the saloons and dives
while behind our backs these forces
Joined hands.
In this unholy alliance the boss was
the connecting link, but he was simply
the agent of the real boss-the big bus
mess man who wanted to exploit the
public service corporation. The political
boss really was the small duck in the
pond. Behind him was the public ser
vice corporation and the Southern Pa
cific railroad.
According to my deduction, the head
of the legal department of the Southern
Pacific railroad, W. F. Herrin, was the
boss behind all, the tool of the actual
boss-Harriman."
For moment the auditors sat dazed
by the daring character of this indict-
ment, then burst into prolonged ap-
DlauSe.
