fectly level upland plain, 1000 feet above
the Columbia, through sage brush six to
eight feet high-seldom less than five.
The quality of the sage is the evidence
of the soils richness. The soil is the
common volcanic ash of Yakima and We
natchie.
Projects are under way to irrigate sew
eral parts of this, aggregating about
10000 acres, for which water is to be
brought from the Klickitat, more than
fifty miles to the westward.
All this region about Horse Heaven,
and from there across the Columbia to
the new Government Umatilla project
and up Snake River, is susceptible of
similar development. There are many
small pumping projects along the Column
bia on both sides down to Hood River
and White Salmon, where the natural
rainfall begins to make irrigation I'M
necessary. But in the dry region dry
farming for wheat already makes the
land extremely valuable. Going up the
river the other day. looking out upon a
barren sandy desert extending apparent
ly for miles, with nothing to break it but
sandstone buttes, l was convinced that
this, at least, was the most worthless
land in America. Suddenly, on the edge
of the butte top appeared a long train Of
horses-there were between twenty and
thirty of Them attached to ''header, ;"
or combination, which was reaping,
threshing and sacking grain in a single
operation. l learned that some of that
dry desert was producing more than
forty bushels Of wheat to the acre.
They will hold it in wheat, as they are
holding the Palouse, until the water can
be brought on. Then much of this, too,
will be turned into fruit land. The five
cent apple seems to have come to stay.
In spite of the millions set out here, the
number of bearing trees in the whole
country is steadily diminishing, and the
deal of hard work on ten-acre farm-or
even on five acres-may for long time to
come be sure of an abundant return and
an independent life.-John l.. Mathews.

CURE YOUR SC|AT|CA
1t Is a Form Of Neuralgia and Has
Frequently Been Cured by
the Tonic Treatment.

Sciatica is neuralgia of the sciatic
nerve. Its origin is generally rheumatic
and is the direct result Of taking cold.
For this reason the disease is commonly
known as ''sciatic rheumatism.
Lack of blood is almost always associ-
ated with neuralgia. One medical
authority has defined neuralgia as ''the
cry of the nerves for better blood"
This is true because the nerves receive
their nourishment through the blood.
Build up the blood, the impoverished
nerves are fed and the neuralgia pains
disappear.
Absolute rest is the best aid to proper
medical treatment. Rest and DR.. Will
liams Pink Pills will cure most cases.
After years of suffering, Mr.. Fred @.
Lowe, Of North Paris, Me-, was cured
of sciatica by this remedy. Mr.. Lowe
member of Co. D, 14th Maine Infantry.
He says:
"About thirty years ago I began to
have sciatica and think it must have been
caused by exposure. My hips, legs and
back were affected and often the pain
was so intense that l would drop to the
ground. Lis pains were SHARP as
though a knife was cutting me. My
left leg and foot were swollen to double
their natural size. would be helpless
for three or four weeks at a time and
was obliged to use crutches for six
months There were sharp, jabbing
pains around my heart. could not
sleep and lost in weight and strength.
II suffered intensely for about twenty
years. was under medical treatment
most of the time but received scarcely
any benefit. Through reading the
papers 1 learned of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills and gave them trial. They gave
me relief in short time and took
them until cured"
Sciatica is stubborn in resisting treat
ment and the patient frequently suffers
for years. DR. Williams Pink Pills do
not simply relieve pain but they cure
diseases caused by depraved or vitiated
blood They actually make new blood
and have therefore a direct and power
full curative effect on such diseases as
rheumatism, anamia, general debility
and after-effects Of the grip.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists. or sent by mail, postpaid, on
receipt Of price, so cents per box; six

THE BEST APPLE REGIONS.
Central Washington is but a small part
of our new Western fruit land. Ka-
lispell in Montana is one of the best
regions for late apples. The high CEN
trail plateau of Oregon at the head of the
DesChutes promises to be another. And
the greatest Of all projects now opening
are those of southern Idaho. There re-
main, however, in Washington probably
the best two large developments yet to
be opened-the Big Bend and the Horse
Heaven. Big Bend lies east of the Co.
lumbia River, west of Spokane, in the
big curve of the Columbia; and Horse
Heaven lies southwest of it in the re-
verse bend, west of Pasco. Big Bend
project is to get it's water from We
natchie, bringing it across the Columbia
at high elevation and distributing it
through an abandoned bed OF the bigger
stream.
Horse Heaven, which visited week
or so ago, is said to be the most remark
able tract of land in the State. 1t con-

WILL HAVE TO CHANGE
ITS SYSTEM AT ONCE
American Indemnity COmpan Of
New York Is Now I'm
der Criticism.

Albany, n. Y, Dec. S.-The manage
ment of the American Indemnity COM
pauy of New York is criticised in a re-
pert made public tonight by Superinten-
dent of Insurance Hotchkiss, following
a Joint examination of the company by
the insurance departments of New York
and Massachusetts. The company, or
ganized under the laws of New York,
has its headquarters at St Louis.
Compliance with the conditions i'm
posed, which include change In man
agement," says the report, seem to
warrant the conclusion that the COM
pany may safely continue in business"
A careful inquiry into methods of
business of all other companies writing
credit insurance win be made as soon
as possible
The report says the preliminary finan-
cial statement of the company called at
tentiOn to an impairment of capital,
which, while doubtless emphasized by
heavy losses in the panic Of 1907 is, in
the final analysis, traceable both to
what seems to the examining depart
ments, to have been in the past an in
sufficient loss of reserve and to prac-
tees and operations covering a period
of years"
The report then adds:
"The impairment has been met by a
reduction i'm the capital stock from ST.
900 600 to S350,000 at a stockholders

partments. which viii make unlikely
