Palo Verde valley will ship $500
bales of cotton this year. according
to F. e. Batturs, general passenger
agent Of the Southern Pacific, who
returned from an inspection trip
through that district yesterday, says
the l.. A. Tribune.
There are $500 acres planted to
cotton there and $1,000 acres, in all,
under cultivation Great prosperity
prevails. There are 10000 acres Mr.
Batturs says, which are. capable of
cultivation in the valley. and $4,000
on the mesa above it. All this terri
tory is tributary to Los Angeles and
in the future will produce larger
crops of all sorts.
The Cibola valley, nearby, has 30
600 acres of tillable land awaiting
settlers. In the Yuma bottoms there
are $4,000 acres of land served by
$50 miles of canals, connecting with
the United States government dam
at Laguna. and by pumping the wa
ter eighty feet to the mesa, 10000
acres more can be watered
"On this mesa we saw a beautiful
grove of oranges said Mr. Batturs.
Wherever work is being done the
country is prosperous, and the entire
region promises to become rich as it
is settled and the land titled and wa
tered"

CRAVING FOR DRINK OVER
COMES THE WILL POWER
When Men Realize They Have
formed the Drink Habit, They
Should Take The Neal
Treatment

Drinkers who simply rely on will
power to end the cravings for
liquor find their resolutions over

They need medical treatment as
badly as the fever victim
The drinkers system is satu-
rated with alcohol, which has
been taken i'll too fast for nature
to eXpel it, This stOred-up poison
is what causes the intense desire
and craving. which. more liquor
only will satisfy.

the alcohol from the system and
kills the effect i'll three days
without painful dangerous hypO-
dermic injections

FALCONER fXPECTtD
 10 SUCCEED BOURLA

Little Rock, June 5.-It is evident that the attorneys of Fort Smith are positive that Virgil Bourland, present chancellor of the Tenth District, will receive the appointment as district at torney for the United States court of the Western District of Arkansas, from the number of letters being re- ceived by Governor J. NJ. Futrell, rec ,ommending the appointment of attor- neys to succeed him.
 Quite a few sent recommendations for Geo. ". Dodd, Fort Smith at torney, but most of the letters coming from prominent attorneys of western Arkansas in the past few days, en- dorse William A. Falconer, also of Fort Smith, for the appointment. Gov Iernor Futrell appointed Judge Fal- coner as member of the State High way Commission, but he declined to serve. Judge Falconer served several terms as county judge of Sebastian county, and is held in high esteem by Governor Futrell, so if vacancy eX- ists during his term, Judge Falconer will no doubt receive the appoint ment.

k MESSAGE TO WOMEN
Who are "Just Ready to Drop"

When you are "jusr ready to drop when you feel so weak that you can hardly drag yourself about-and be- cause you have not slept well, you get up as tired-out next morning as when you went to bed, then you need help right away.
 Miss Lea Dumas writes from Ma lone. x. r., saying: q was in a badly rundown condition for several weeks, but two bottles of Vinol put me on my feet again and made me strong and well. ViLol has done me more good than all the other medicine ever took.
 If the careworn. haggard men and women, the pale, sickly children and feeble old folks around here would follow Miss Dumas example, they, too, would soon be able to say that Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron remedy, had built them up and made them strong.
 It is a wonderfully strengthening and inyigorating body-builder, and we sell it under an ironclad guarantee of satisfaction. You get your money back if Vinol does not help you

 Eleven bids were submitted, the av craze being very close to the estimate made by Engineer G. H. Burr of the cost of the system, which was $40, ,000.
 The board of commissioners of the district, J. w. James, H. B. Ingram and S. E. Anderson, are in conference with MT. McCoppin this afternoon as to various details in connection with the contract, and it is thought that a contract will be entered into at once.

SPECIAL COURT
 COST SI,I6I.35

The special session of the Faulkner circuit court called for the trial of the white slave cases will cost the county about $1,161.35, according to Circuit Clerk J. H. Hartje, who is making up the cost bill to be certified to the county court. The largest item of expenses was for petit jurors, amounting to $756.55. The prescott ing attorney will receive $175 for the |convictions, and the grand jurors, |$59.S0. The remaining costs have not been certified, but the clerk estimates
 Clerk HarJJe says the costs of the leases tried and yet to be tried in the connection with the same offenses will aggregate at least 1,500. He believes, however, that money was saved as we'll as justice more quickly meted out by the special term, as the costs would have been practically the same in the regular term While there is no way for the county to recover anything for the costs, the state is the gainer by being awarded a total of 112 years of negro labor.

 Rev John H. Riggin, D.D., one of the oldest and most highly aonored members of the Little Rock confer ence, passed away last Friday a. his home in Philadelphia. He Was 79 years old, and had been for several years on the superanuated list. He had been rather feeble for some time, and was taken off by an acute attack of dysentery. Of course, he was not unprepared. He was indeed an Is- raelite in whom was no guile at all. He was strong in intellect, but in heart he was as simple 2s . child. He knew no intrigue and mad never use for diplomacy He was open to abruptness, but was always without bitterness. He was no ev!4-spe Sker. He loved his brethren unfeienedly. His service was long, efficient and faithful. Our first impulse on hear ing of his death was one O. grief, fol- lowed instantly by a sense Of joy, joy that he lived so we'll and that his la- bor and toll were done. There is al- ways much over which to rejoice when a man like .Dr. Riggin passes away.

ATTACK VALIDITY
 ANOTHER ACT
ASSERTED IN COURT NEW LAW WAS NOT PROPERLY
 ENACTED.

Little Rock, June 6.-Another of the acts of the last legislature has been attacked, the blue sky law. A suit was filed in Pulaski chancery court Thursday afternoon, styled, Me chanics Building X Loan Association vs. John NJ. Oathout, Auditor. Tn the suit the validity of the act is attacked especially that portion pertaining to building and loan associations.
 1t Is alleged in the bill that the journal of the senate does not show the passage of the blue sky bill, which .nullifies it.
 Replying to this allegation, T. J, Terrell, secretary of the last senate states that his records show the house amendments to this bill were concur red in on February 24, and the bill made a special order for the following day, when it passed. He states that the journal shows the house amend ments were concurred in on Febru- ary 24, and the bill made a special order for the following day. The journal, according to Secretary Ter rell, does not show the passage of the bill on February 25, but that the amendments were concurred in. Sec retary Terrell disclaims responsibility for errors in the journal.

EXPERIENCE
 OF BROTHERHOOD
Advice to Expectant Mothers

The experience of Motherhood is try ing one to most women and marks dis tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one woman in a hundred is prepared or un- derstands how to properly care for her self. Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at such times, but many approach the experl- ence with an organism united for the trial of strength, and when it is over her system has received shock frap which it is hard to recover. FollowfSs right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change in the mother results.
 There is nothing more charming than happy and healthy mother of children, and indeed childbirth under the right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, and with am- pie time in which to prepare, women will persist in going blindly to the trial.
 Every woman at this time should rely npon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, q most valuable tonic and invigorator of ihe female organism.
