needed it and all the rest of the time
besides.
In addition to an abundance supply
for the Richfeld Tract the Big Wood
and Little Wood rivers have been kept
full from the big reservoir since early
in July, so that no water user along
either stream has had occasion or ex-
cuse for shortage of water throughout
the present season and the services of
water master have been entirely un-
necessary below the point where these
streams were fed by the Carey Act
canals. On the Little Wood river,
Oliver C. Duncan was elected without
fraud or controversy, to serve as
water master for the year. Having.
regard for the welfare of the water
users and the honest conduct of his of
flee he did not go out on the river be-
low Richfield during the season. This
will mean material reduction in ex-
pense to priority holders along the
stream, who thus reap direct benefit
from the work of the Carey Act COM
panies.
When the season is over we will pub
lish resume of the water deliveries
along the Wood Rivers for tht, season
and we promise report to satisfy the
most captions.
If yon are living where you depend
upon the weather man or upon an un-
certain ditch system we advise that
you start at once for Richfield where
water is abundant.

Guard Against Typhoid Fever
Fall Of the Year. Cases Are More Common Than Other
Times, Especially in Rural Districts

The fall season is generally marked
of typhoid fever. This is particularly
true of the rural districts where there
are no special laws or regulations pro-
tecting the water supply for the com
muunity. The germs of typhoid fever
are not particularly more prevalent
these months but the opportunities for
transmitting them from individual to
individual seem to be greater. When
the fall rains begin there is greater
chance for the infectious agent, name
ly the typhoid germ, to be washed
from the waste repositories through
the fssures in the soil to the water
supply. Also during the cold weather
of early fall, flies strenously seek shell
ter and the house, if not protected,
will be literally swarmed with them
each night. During the daytime they
are visiting various places where they
may obtain their food and many times
become contaminated with various
kinds of disease producing bacteria.
At night they come back into the house
and infect the food substances pre-
pared for the family use.
The water supply being easily con-
taminated by underground currents
coming through soil impregnated with
waste material, cannot be to closely
guarded at this season of the year.
Because the water looks clear, and is
cold and sparkling, there is no assur-
ance that it does not contain agents of |
a deadly nature. Enough germs of T
typhoid fever could be present to cause

hereby notify you of our sentiments. -
Jesse B. Hawley, one of the counsel
for the defense, was on his feet in an
instant after the government had made
the motion. After briefly expressing
his appreciation to the government
for dropping the case and assuring the
court that he intended not the slightest
refexion upon the district attorneys
office, he called upon Judge Dietrich
the undue zeal, as he regarded it, of
one of the special agents who had fur
nished the evidence in this case.
''It seems to me that when foreign
interlopers come into this state and
stir up trouble, as the special agent
has in this case, it calls for some kind
of an investigation, and it seems to
me, if your honor please, that when
two men are called down here two
different times, once with 10 or IL
witnesses, to remain here for six days
at enormous expense"
The court poured oil on the troubled
waters by interupting and declaring
that, as the facts in the case had not
been submitted, it could not take
cognizance of anything that the counsel
for the defense had said. The court
proceeded to explain the duties of
special agent the fact that there are
good and bad special agents, and the
fact that even special agents are
human and subject to mistakes.
Mr.. Hawley says that his indigna-
ton got the better of him in the court
because he realized that his clients
have spent at least $4,000 in cash in
for the defense against
charge made ''from the standpoint of
two or three enemies of the Han
fords. He declared that the farms
were deserted in that Camas Prairie
region, that machines were idle and
that the defendants had been put to
great deal of unnecessary expense,
hard drain even on as comparatively
wealthy men as they are.
The district court will go right into

CASES DISMISSED
Hanford Boys of Camas Prairie
Released

Finding that the government would
not be able to prove from its own
witnesses that there had been any
threats made against the life of Dee
M. Storey or Thomas F. Wright and
that the only evidence was the vehe-
ment protest of the community pub
lished in the local paper, United
States District Attorney C. H. Lingen-
felter sprung up a surprise in the fed
eral court yesterday morning by
moving for the dismissal of the causes
against James A. and E. Roy Han
ford of Camas Prairie.
The district attorney declared, in
his address to the court, that he
made the motion feeling that the
punishment was to severe for the Of
fense that he would be able to prove
they had committed. He said the
language used probably violated the
spirit of the law, but that there had
been nothing that would merit any
such penalty as the law provided. lie
said that the government had had time
to interview its witnesses only the
evening before and that it found that
the testimony would be that no threats
had been made
Most of the witnesses that the gov
ernment expected to use were the
signers of the petition that was pub
lished and which is as follows:

Camas Prairie and neighbors of ]. A.

Richfield enjoyed the novelty of its
first hold up Tuesday evening, when
two men armed with six shooters held
up Anna Gleason, and robbed her Of

Again on Wednesday evening, man
armed with gun, with a red hand

grave trouble and yet, without having
technical analysis made of it, per-
son could not detect them. The only
safe way is to be assured that the
water does not catch any surface or
underground drainage where there
could be any question of contamina-
ton. If it is impossible to be assured
on these grounds, simple process of
publication can be used in the home.
Practically all of the disease producing
bacteria, including typhoid, are killed
at moderately low degree of temper

there is no excuse for water to become
dangerous so long as the housewife
has in her hands such a simple and eff
fective means of protection. The boil
ing of the water may slightly change
its palatability but if it is allowed to
cool in two-thirds full bottles and the
bottles are shaken vigorously it will re-
gain its flavor. At any rate the safety
of the health should take precedent
over any small item like a lack of
Recognizing therefore, that typhoid
may be more prevalent during this
season of the year, each individual
ought to pay particular attention to
the exclusion of flies in the home and
the protection of the water supply for
family use.

BETTER DAYS FOR MEXICO.

Within a short time the people
of Mexico will be enjoying peace
and orderly government as a re-
suit of the patriotic cooperation
of General Reyes with Francisco
Madero, the successful insurgent
leader, and Senior De La Barra
in bringing order out Of chaos.
That Geneal Reyes has only the
welfare of his country at heart
and no personal ambition to serve
is shown by his manifesto in
which he declared that it is an in
opportune time for the Mexican
people to have a close election, and
urged those who would have sup
ported him had he accepted the
nomination for President to vote
for Madero.
In the recent conferences Gen.
Reyes and Senior De La Barra ap-
proved the demands for reforms
made by Madero upon the Diaz
administration three months ago.
Among the important demands
were: No reelection Of the Pres
ident. Governors Of States to be
elected, not appointed. Curtail-
ing the powees Of Mayors and
making their office elective. Free
ballots in all elections. Preserva-
ton of individual rights. Exten-
sion of the school system. Re
form of the land laws so that
farms, now as extensive as from
/ 900, 900 to 100000 acres, may
be divided and sold in small lots
to the people.
From all accounts the last de-
mand goes to the root Of the Mex
lean truble, because for years the
mass of the people in Mexico have
been practically the slaves of the
land monopolists and opportuni-
ties to gain property from the soil
have been denied q large prpor-
ton of the people.-N. 0. States.

CAUSE FOR REJOICING.

There are some pertinent facts
for Southerners in a recent report
of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission touching the general con-
dition of business and railroads in
the South. While the increase in
freight business throughout the en-
tire country for 1910, over that
Of the year previous, was 7.6 per
cent. the Southern roads increased
their business by 1O.1 per cent.
The passenger traffic for the en-
tire nation increased 81 per cent.
The increase in the South was III
per cent.
The railroads appropriated vast
sums of money in the South last
year for improvements. For
structures and maintenance OF
way. they increased their ex-
penditures last year by 1873 per
cent over what they spent for the
same purposes in 1909, while the
country generally showed an in
crease of but 11.3 per cent. For
maintaining equipment, the gen.
eral increase was $40 per cent,
while in the Southern states it was
[13.2 per cent.
There are no shrewder or more
farseeing business men in the
world than those who are ait the
head Of the big railroad systems,
and when we find them willing to
put millions Of money into i'm
provements, it is sure indication
that the future of the sections
they serve is very rosy indeed

The Mansfield Journal says
that nothing is further from the
truth than to say that labor is a
curse. It is idleness, not work,
that curses. for it means poverty,
discomfort, fault-finding and low
cred manhood. On the other hand
all honest work, even the most
humble. uplifts and gives dignity
to the worker and promotes com
fort and happiness. In truth,
there is no man who has so great
a right to 1ift-up his head with
honest pride as the man who la
bors, whether he follows the pillow
or smites the iron on the anvil,
of digs bitches. Such men are q
valuable asset ito every commun-
ity, while the habitual idler has
less than no value.
