VESTS GRANDEUR
FOR OUR TOURISTS
QUARTER OF BILLION DOLLARS
SPENT ANNUALLY BY AMERl-
CANS ABROAD.

Chicago, Dec. 5-lf half OF the pres
cnt tourist travel to Europe could be
diverted to the west, more than a
quarter of billion dollars now spent
abroad annually would be held in cir
culation in the United States; accord
ing to c. j. Blanchard, statistician OF
the United States Reclamation service
in an address before the National lrli-
gation congress here. Mr.. Blanchard
described the great natural scenic at
fractions of the west, declared the So
called American desert is disappearing
and urged Americans to undertake an
inspection trip through what was once
the arid west.
Yellowstone Park, Glacier Park,
Crater Lake Yosemite Park, the Grand
Canyon of Arizona all present an in
finite variety of scenic attractions
which would make such a trip more
worth while than tours of Europe, ac-
cordng to Mr.. Blanchard.
The knowledge of the west and its
resources gained by the tourist would
increase his confidence in western Sc
Curites and would encourage larger
investment" he said. "A wider
Enowledge of the west will in time
compel congress 10 abandon its long
continued policy of indifference and
neglect of our parks and will bring
more liberal appropriations for their
management.
Instead of a level plain of sun-baked
shifting sand, our desert is a region of
varied and interesting topography,
with every gradation of climate from
semi-tropic to north-temperate. 1t
possesses all the climates of Europe,
while its scenic wonders have no
rivals in any country. In our desert
proper are located all the important
national parks, whose 100000 acres

1t is whispered that there is going
to be a shake up in the police depart
ment, in fact it was expected to come
to a head last night at the meeting OF
the board of city commissioners, but
it was deferred for some reason until
the next regular meeting.
1t is alleged that the present chief
of police will resign and that his sue
cessor will be named by the commits

Just what the reason for this move
it has not been learned, or who his

wonders than can be found in all other
parts of the world.
Our new secretary OF the interior
is advocating a definite and practical
policy for the administration of these
play grounds of tn people. He should
have the hearty cooperation of every
patriotic American whose pride of
country extends beyond his own door
yard.
Two economic problems of obvious
importance confront the people of the
country today, viz; increasing the op-
portunities for our citizens to acquire
homes of their own, and a larger por.
duction per acre OF staple crops.
While, we have not yet reached the
acute stage in the struggle for exist
ence which prevails in many parts of
the old world and the Orient, we are
not far removed from that critical per
iod when overpOpulation and under
production shall become vital ques-
tons with us.
THE enormous increase in the cost
of the necessities of life furnish
abundant evidence of the imperative
need of better farming"
Mr.. Blanchard described the accom-
plishments Of the reclamation service
In eight years, 1000 miles of canal
have been dug, 10 miles of tunnels
have been eXcayated through noun
tains and three of the greatest irriga-
ton dams in the world have been

The greatest discomforts of old age
are poor eyesight, deafness, lame
back, stiff, achy joints and urinary
ills.
Most often these troubles come from
a weakening Of the kidneys.
The kidneys have heavy task dur
ing long life of filtering the blood
and keeping the body free from the
irritating effects of uric acid. Kidney
weakness usually gets little attention
and it is no wonder if the kidneys
break down.
And when the kidneys are sluggish
and weak, there is little comfort.
Backache is likely to become con-
stant trouble, lameness in the morn
ing. pains when STOPPING or lifting,
gestlessness at night, too frequent and
painful passages of the kidney secre-
tions, and persistent languor.
Rheumatic pains, stiff joints, dizzy
spells and weakness of sight and hear
ing are often due to the excess of uric
acid in the blood. So are gravel and
stone, dropsy swellings of the limbs
and extremities, heart weakness.

WANTS TO LOCATE

REPRESENTATIVE OF 1o1' RANCH
HERE LOOKING OVER THE
SITUATION.

Newman Bartlett, representing the
Miller Brothers great 101 ranch was
in the city this morning looking over
the situation with a view of opening
a wholesale feed and seed house in
the city.
The fame of the seed corn grown
on the great 1O1 ranch at Bliss, Okla.
has spread throughout the land and
they are receiving orders for their seed
corn from abroad. When Joe Miller
was here with his wild west show this
fall he stated that he wanted to estab-
lsh warehouse here and would in all
probability do so as this was a good
shipping point, where facilities were
offered for covering this territory. Mr..
Bartlett has been with the Millers
for a number of years and was shown
several locations this morning and
will in all probability make his Sc
lection before tonight.
He stated that il he was unable to
secure a proper loecation that he
would ship about four cars of seed
corn and place it in the hands of some
local dealer.
