We presume Hon. j. j. Dykes, one
of our most prominent citizens, is
meant by the above. Mr. Dykes is
one of our most active men in devel-
opment, his town and schools receiv-
ing his best attention. He is also a
good judge of horse stock and keeps

CHANGING COURTHOUSE SITE

The people of Marion County should
beware of the proposition now being
agitated by number of the rich peo-
pie of South Pittsburg to change the
location of the courtho use from Jasper
to South Pittsburg. No attention
should be paid to the alleged gliding
of the pill by Offering site and build
ing on condition that the voters of
Marion get busy and vote it away
from Jasper. No attention should be
paid to the allegation that the build
ing isn't big enough for the business
of the county, for it is in every way.
1t takes no throng of clerks to conduct
the business of Marion County, and If
the crowd can't get in on convention
day it is no fault of the court house,
for it was not built for that purpose.
If further allegation is made that
there is ''no room to properly conduct
COURT outside of the poor advertise
Inent of the morality of the county, it
would simmer the question down to
the point that the size of the building
is inadequate only on the nine or ten
days that court is in session in the
year. So in order to make more room
for the conviction of criminals it is
necessary to move it to South Pitts
burg, and is not that the hidden mean
ing of the agitation. Hence, again,
we reiterate that the citizens of Ma
rion County will do we'll to beware of
any change in courthouse location.
The present building is good enough,
and in excellent condition, the site is
nearly central in the county, and easy
of access in all directions-not cut off
by high water, for instance-and it
is always in order to let we'll enough
alone
We hope the justices will settle this
matter without calling for a vote of
the people. and issue no call for an
election over the matter.

HUGE Earth Dam.

The big Belle Fourche irrigation

largest earth embankment in the
world, is nearing completion. Con-
struction of the project was author
lied by congress on May 10, 1904, at
a cost Of $5,000,0O0
From an engineering standpoint the
Belle Fourche project is one of the
most interesting which the govern
ment has yet undertaken It's princi-
pal structure is the earthen dam.
This wonderful dixie, which closes the
lowest depressions in the rim Of a nat
ural basin, is 5000 feet long, 20 feet
wide on top and lis feet high in the
highest place.
The inside face of this structure,
which has a slope of two to one, will
be protected from wave and ice &C
ton by two feet of screened gravel,
on which will be placed concrete
blocks, each four by six feet and eight
inches thick. The cubical contents Of
this dixie will be 42,7o0,000 cubic feet,
or about half Of the famous pyramid
Of Cheops. The reservoir created by
this dam will cover about 5000 acres
and will be the largest lake in the
state.-Popular Mechanics.

0istruSt of Medicine Arises From
ignorance of Anatomy.
Enlightened Science of Today Shows
Within Ourselves Wondrous Mech
anisms and Adaptions Which
Arouse Admiration.

New York-Dr Frederic S. Lee,
professor of physiology at Columbia
university, opened the Jessup lectures
on scientific features of modern medi-
cine at the Museum of Natural His
tory with a Sketch of the Normal
Human Body" 1t is Dr. Lees convic-
ton that whatever distrust of medical
potency may now exist arises largely
from ignorance of the human body
and the present status of medical
science"

ship" he said, Il was Influenced large
ly by the thought that through it
might perhaps be of service to both
the medical profession and an intelli-
gent public by telling the public some
thing of what medical leaders are do
ing.
Notwithstanding the swift prog
ress of medical science we frequently
meet with distrust of the efficiency
of medicine a feeling that the physi-
clan knows far too little concerning
disease and it's cure, and tendency
to turn toward strange cults, making
fair promises. Such distrust is as old
as medicine itself do not believe
that it is justified. Doubling is in
deed an entirely legitimate form OF
mental exercise. The man of science
who is not doubter has no claim to
honorable standing. But not all doubts
are equally estimable. There are
those that betray much knowledge and
those that betray little.
The ignorance of the human body
among many persons is extraordlnar1-
ly great. 1t is strange to find think

be protected in some way or another.

or If she come from an ideal home, it
may very well be and often is that she

cause she is, in fact, already made un-

nate, indeed, is such girl. But those
forming this well-guarded class are
few, and parents and guardians may
often be deceived and assume more
than they are entitled to. At any rate,
for the vast majority of girls some pos

sile over the intervening embankment
The missile takes curve high into

that 1t will drop upon the enemy,
Powerful bombs are dropped into the
midst Of the hostile camp at dis
lance Of nine miles. The armor of the
attacking vessel is avoided in this
case and the shell is dropped in her
vitals.
The fertilization board plans the
building of breastwork Notifications
about the locks where they might be
attacked by land. These works would
be erected at either end of the canal.
In connection with them would be laid
the foundation of camp. Sewers
would be laid, water put In. These
are the vital things in an army camp.
With this preparation it would be pos
sible at any time, having the soldiers
available, to meet any, land invasion.
Then it is planned to establish an
army post at Culebra, the highest and
healthiest point on the isthmus. This
camp will be pitched on the edge of
the big cut opposite the town of
Culebra. A bridge will be thrown
across the cut to facilitate communi-
cation. Here quarters will be pre-
pared for 5000 soldiers. It will be
model army post for the tropics. Ce-
ment will be the central idea in con-
structions, and hollow walls will lend
themselves to GOODNESS. The moisture
will have no effect upon them anf
ants may not devour them.
The garrison would consist Of four
regiments of infantry, one squadron of
cavalry and three batteries of field ar
tillery There would be some twelve
companies Of the coast artillery, 800
men. These 1t is contemplated quar-
tering near the Pacific end of the
canal, but they could be quickly trans
ferred from one station to another.
SO it seems reasonable to surmise
that in the end the Notifications at
Panama will be such as the world has
never before known.
If the strongest of naval forces of
the Pacific should attempt to attack a
fragment of our navy at Balboa, the
Pacific terminus of the canal, the guns
of the coast defense could hold Tat
navy at bay until other battleships
were brought through the canal. The
same thing would be true If the at
tack were made on the Atlantic side
with the process reversed.
