land from one canal, and l thought
had done wonders But finally the
reclamation service came along
Don't understand that I am speaking
disparingly of the reclamation SER
vice, for they have done a great
work. They came to the west and
commenced to investigate what could
be done under irrigation by the gov
eminent. Previous to this. in 1895,
Senator Carey introduced bill
called the Carey Act" permitting
the United States to give to the
state a certain amount of the public
land, provided the state would re-
claim and irrigate it. We availed
ourselves of the benefits of that bill,
and the government gave us 000,-
600 acres of land on condition that
we woul reclaim it and properly ir-
rigate it, but for some years we
were unable to do anything with it
/ because we could not interest capital
in irrigation But Congress finally
passed the reclamation act, and when
it did so, it commenced to build two
great enterprises in our state, one
known as the Minikoka Project, re-
claiming 10000 acres, and the
other as the Boies-Payette, reclaim
mig about 100000 acres Of land
The government had not more
than commenced on work of construc-
ton until the investor in the east be-
gan to sit up and take notice. Before
the government did this. l used to
come back east trying to raise money
for irrigation projects. The men
talked to in the east would listen to
what I had to say. and then talk
about everything else in the world
but irrigation. But when the recla-
nation service came in, they became
interested and they came west and
commenced to invest. And FIVE years
ago on the 2nd of last July, we COM
menced our first irrigation project
under the Carey Act. Since that time
we have constructed, and are now
constructing and have under con-
) struction, over $3O,OOO,OOO worth Of
canals, and we have constructed in
those five years a canal that would
; carry a reasonable stream of water
from New York to San Francisco.
We went back to Congress and asked
for another 100000 acres Of land
and Congress gave it to us. We
have reclaimed 2,270.O0O acres of the
100000 acres. and we will reclaim
J the other million acres, which means
an empire within itself
In our state we have a population
Of less than 100000. and if you will
look up the statistics today you will
find that Belgium. kindom that
has less than 100000 acres OF
agricultural land. supports a popula.
tion Of over 100000 people. We
mean to build homes on this land
and there is no place that population
can become more dense and. at the
same time. more comfortable than
on irrigated farms. That shows
something Of what can be done by

The Teeth and How to Brush Tn,

The Teeth and How to Brush Them
Always brush the upper teeth from
the gum down and the lower ones up.
Brushing them across is said to
loosen them, and, besides, il does not
cleanse the teeth vertically, from the
gums up or down, as the case may be,
the bristles remove whatever may be
lodged between teeth.
The under side of the teeth must
be treated even more carefully than
the surface, for neglect will allow the
tartar to gain firm hold, thus max
ing professional service for its re-
moval a necessity.
The choice of a tooth brush is OF
more Importance than is generally
supposed. Choose a brush the bristles
of which are not too stiff, as hard
bristles are apt to cut the gums
which sometimes causes serious
mouth sores. Those with unever
bristles are superior to the ordinar,
The raised bristles at the end of thu
brush enable the user to get into thu
cups" of the broad teeth, used TO
crushing the food, at the back of tn
mouth. Particles of food find thes
teeth good resting places and as
result we find that it is nearly Away
these teeth in which cavities frs
appear. Physical Culture.

NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT

out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him, but he Kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try a certain medical college.
but its treatment did no good. AT
the time I was induced to try Cuti-
cura he was so bad that / had to cut
his hair off and put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on him on bandages, as 1t was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
of skin on his whole body that was
not affected. He was one mass OF
sores. The bandages used to stick to
his skin and in removing them 1t used
to take the skin OF with them. and
the screams from the poor child were
heartbreaking. l began to think that
he would never get well, but after the
second application of Cuticura Oint-
ment l began to see signs of improve
ment. and with the third and fourth
applications the sores commenced to
dry up. His skin peeled off twenty
times, but 1t finally yielded to the
treatment. Now I can say that he is
entirely cured, and stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he
is to-day, twelve years or more since
the cure was effected. Robert Wattam,

Government Has No Hall of Records

to house its different departments in
rented buildings all over Washington,
and the constant danger threatens the
destruction of valuable archives when
ever a fire breaks out, and there Is
not any reason why fire should not
break out in non-freproof building.
The loss of government property in
this fire is thought to be less than
$1,000, but in the library over the fire
was a unique collection of geological
literature containing more than $4,000
volumes, $4,000 pamphlets and $4,000
maps, the most complete collection Of
geological works and maps in this
country if not in the world.

"A around, congress sidesteps. smoth-
ers or overrides all propositions which
would embark the government in the
business of road building. The logic
and Importance in the outcry for
"goodroads" is universally admitted;
but everybody's business comes peril
ously near having nobodys attention.
Some communities. townships, coun-
ties and few states have made more
or less real progress towards improv-
Ing the highways locally. Where the
states take a hand a beginning is made
towards obtaining through routes" i"
But, despite all that has been said for
a revival of road building, notwith-
standing editorial support from publi-
cations of all partisan shades, the
movement as yet has no central or
ganization which presses the work
along broad lines.
The federal government thus far CO.

partment of agriculture devoted first
to the propaganda of the good roads

make suggestions as to the best meth
ods for road building under given cir

VIZ y\SHINGTON-The indications be-
w ing that the census will show the
population of the United States to be
over 10000, 900, It seems assured that
the republic contains more than half
of the Inhabitants of the New World.
It is quite probable that all of the re-
naming countries of this hemisphere
have fewer than s0.000,000 inhabi-
tants.
That point can never be settled def
nitely until conditions change radi-
cally in many extensive regions OF
Latin America. Now most of the
states south of Mexico and north of
the Argentine either make a farce OF
their census taking or else do not at
tempt 1t at any time.
Recent estimates. partly based upon
census records, which have been
made in South America and Central
America, indicate that there are about

Death and accident have been

Ball playing on the Streets" he

Gives No Money for Road Building

experiments in the use of materials
are conducted by the specialists OF
this bureau. Here the government
stops, for the reason that dominant
view in congress has been that this
properly delimits the governments
function.
Representative Anthony of Kansas
introduced bill in the house last win
ter for the construction of military
highway between Fort Leavenworth
and Fort Riley, 100 miles, by conyicts
in the two federal penitentiaries at
Fort Leavenworth. The bill was lost
after a debate that developed into
general discussion of the good roads
movement.
The measure had the Endorsement OF
President Taft, the chief of staff OF
the army and the quartermaster gen.
eral. General ]. Franklin Bell, then
chief of staff, stated in letter to Rep
resentative Anthony that the proposed
road would unquesionably be OF
great military value and convenience
Farmers of many townships through
which the proposed road would run
offered to supply all the rock and
other material to be used In its con-
struction.
Like others of its kind, this meas
ure was wrecked upon constitutional
rocks. The opponents of the bill con-
tended that General Bell did not claim
the road to be a military necessity,
and that, If not done for this purpose,
the government could not build it, be-
cause the constitution authorizes the
construction of only such roads as arc
required to meet military necessities
and post roads.
