the same condition as regards drain
age possibilities since construction of
the dam as the lower marsh lands
were before. SO that II the lower
lands did drain sufficiently before con-
struction OF the dam to permit grass
cutting. the upper ones should be
just as valuable now. Yet they are
not. Every indication Is that they
always have been swampy in nature.
This is readily accounted for. 1t
win be seen that the Big Meadow as
well as other tracts farther down the
river are completely surrounded by
high land, They are overhowed ev-
cry ordinary year and the water can
only drain OF by filtration through
the soil. This is a very slow pro-
cess and the three months during
which this might occur II 1t were
not for the dam is altogether too
short period to be effective.
Conclusion.
In conclusion, wish to emphasize
the point that climatic factors and
the combinations they may produce
are by no means the least important
things that determine the value OF
these marsh lands, for IL without the
dam, favorable conditions for grass
cutting only occur once in ten or
more years, the potential value of
these lands is very low indeed. !
have shown that the haying seasons
of 1906 and 1906 were both proceed
ed by exceptionally long draining
periods and that such favorable
condition had not existed before or
since within the period covered by
climatic data unless It was in 1895
and 1896. The year 1905 is gener.
ally recognized the country over as
an unusually dry year, one In fact
that is not likely to recur in 80
year cycle and in this particular To-
cality It was followed by one that
was even dryer as far as rainfall
was concerned.
The operation OF the dam has eff
fectually destroyed any potential
value the lower and intermediate
marsh lands may have had, but this
potential value was certainly very
low.
1t Is very doubtful II the dam has
injured to any extent lands at the
elevation OF the Big Meadows, and
1t is a certainty that lands above 2l2S
are not injured to any appreciable
extent The fact that good hay crops
have been cut from these high mea-
dow lands during the past three sea-
sons disproves any statement TO the
contrary.
The Big Meadows and lands at
similar elevation can be reclaimed by
diklng a sufficient height to prevent
overflow and by diverting the spring
water directly into the river. This
would in any event have to be accom-
plished by artificial lowering of the
water table by pumping. The dam

Deafness Cannot be Cured

bylocal applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition OF the
mucous lining OF the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out OF ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

THE country has sustained great loss
in the death OF Senator Jonathan PrentisS
Dolliver, ofIowa, which occurred suddenly
last Saturday from heart disease at his
home at Fort Dodge. Senator Dolliver
was native OF West Virginia, having
been born near Kingwood in 1853. He
was one OF the most eloquent men in
Congress, and was an able and courage
Gus leader in the inSurgent movement,
boldly attacking the methods and meas
ures OF the bosses of the Senate and be-
ing active in advocating legislation for the
benefit ofthe masses. Although his death
is great loss to the insurgent movement,
this reform will not be halted, for it is
right and the foundation that he helped to
lay so well must eventually be built upon.

" to allow him to be at his desk when
the Senate convenes in December. His

sicians, who state that while it has taken
no specific form the Senator is weak from
overwork. They have prescribed rest
and seclusion for him. and recently he
has not been allowed to see anyone bur
members OF hisimmediate family. While
there is apparently no doubt as to his ul-
innate recovery, the doctors think that
the Senator strained his capabilities too
much during his work on the administra-
ton railroad bill, and his recovery is eX-
pected to be slow
Private reports fromthe Senator's home
town say that his illness is very serious,
indeed, and that instead OF getting better
his condition is becoming more grave.
He is looking very i'll, and is reported to
be very greatly alarmed himself over his
sickness.

LAW APPLICABLE To
OIL LAND LOCATION

The following from the Mining and
scientific Press regarding oil locations
and the amount of necessary work be-
fore title passes to the locator will
nrov, of value to Nevada oil prospec-
tors:
"Oil must be actually discovered by
drilling a well and striking oil to vail
date a placer location applying to oil.
Mere oil epage and surface indica-
tiobs are not sufficient. Of course,
the evidence might in an extreme case
be sufficiently convincing to Justify a
discovery without drilling, but the
courts have not yet had such a case
called to their attention, and 1t IS
doubtful if anything but actual drill
ing and striking oil would satisfy the
courts. A locator must proceed dill
gently with drilling until he makes a
discovery. Ordinarily he is protected
only to the extent of the ground
which he actually occupies in his drill
ing operations, and a rival locator may
take peaeeable possession of another
portion of the same location, in which
event it becomes a race between the
rivals, and he who first discovers oil
becomes entitled to the claim. The
locating and %patenting of oil claims IS
provided for by the law applying TO
placer mining
