TAILORED BLOUSE WITH NOVELTY COLLARS
lCHTHYOL PRICE BOUNDS
Asphaltic Material From Austria
Scarce Because of War.

The Importation of ichthyol, a peculiar
asphaltio material found in Austria,
WHICH finds application after appropriate
chemical treatment as a very important
medicament, has been, along with many
other products, cut off by the war.
The raw material comes from a FOSSIL
ferrous deposit near Seefeld, in the Aus
trian Tyro It is carefully selected and
subjected to dry distillation. This dis
tilate thus obtained is then sulphonated
and subsequently neutralized with am
monia. The use of this material has
greatly Increased in the last few years,
and 1t has proved very beneficial.
Almost Immediately following the be-
ginning of the war its price doubled,
going to more than 60 cents an ounce.
Already. however, n firm in st. Louis has
a material on the market which has been
favorably recommended as an efficient
substitute closely resembling ichthyol It.

calls the mania of some women TO spend

ARGUMENT FOR FARMERS
Senator Hoagland Goes to the Front
for North Platte Irrigators.
ASsAIIs GOVERNMENT POLICY
North Platte Man Asserts Federal
Policy Results in storage OF BiE
surplus and Heavy Loss
To Farmers.

An opinion on the acute situation now
existing with relation to the water OF
tho North Platte river has been prepared
by state Senator Hoagland OF North
Platte and will be presented by him to
the state engineer and the state Board
OF Irrigation at Lincoln Senator Hoag-
land says, In part
1t Is an elementary principle OF law
recognized both by the common law and
the statutes OF all OF the states that there
is and can be no private ownership in the
waters of our public streams. As mod-
fled by the statutes in the irrigation
states the right to Use these waters for
irrigation purposes and to return the
water to the streams Is recognized as
paramount to the riparian right. but in
none Of these statutes is there any recog-
milton of private ownership of the waters
or the right TO sell the water. Irrigation
canals are common carriers of water, APP
propriated for the benefit OF the land
owners and the right to use the water
is an appurtcnant to the land to be
watered and does not become right
owned by the owners of the canal or ir-
rigation works. The application OF the
water 20 beneficial use is the basis and
measure and the limit Of the right OF our
citizens 70 take and use the waters Of
the public streams
The United States reclamation Off
cials have 1.0SSOOO acre-feet of the folod
waters of the North Platte river held
within the bed of the river in the Path
finder reservoir. Last fall the reservoir
was empty and this water has been coll
lected In one season as a part OF the
public waters OF the Platte river.
THE veEy limit of the amount OF
water which the federal reclamation Of
ficials can place TO beneficial use upon
the federal irrigation projects during the
irrigation season of 1914. and including
all OF the contracts for the private sale

GUS interruption to both freight and pas
senger traffic has occurred during the last
few years on account of the high water
in the Mississippi and the roadbed is TO
be so raised that there will be no further

The Yazoo & Mississippi Valley Rail-
road company will, it is announced by
Memphis officials of the Illinois Central
system, establish at Nonconnah, just be-
low New South Memphis, the largest
car building and locomotive repair shops
south Of Chicago. 1t Is declared that
these will give employment to at least
1000 men and that a large percentage
of the force of workmen now at McComb
City, Miss, and Paducah, KY, will be
removed to Memphis when these i'm
provements have been completed. Work
will begin at once on the necessary build
ings and all of these will be fireproof
These two companies are also construct
ing new yards in New South Memphis.
They are two and one-half miles wide
and about that long. They are being
raised to level that will make interfer-
ence from high water impossible. The
old yards of the two companies are To-
Gated at that point but, in addition to
raising the grade to avoid high water,
the trackage is being very largely in
creased, thus making It possible for the
two roads TO take care of the vast busi-
ness that originates here as well as OF
through business, 1t Is aimed to make
Memphis the principal division point
making the line between north and south
bound traffic. 1t is proposed to have
these yards in readiness for use within
the next few months, and It Is planned
to have the new railroad shops ready for
operation within another year.
In addition TO these improvements, tho
Illinois Central system is. doing some
double tracking in this territory. 1t is
likewise STRENGTHENING curves and elimi-
mating grades in order that 1t may handle
its business with increasing economy and
efficiency Altogether, 1t 10 estimated
by local officials that the improvements
recently completed, those now under
way and those contemplated for the
next few months will involve an expendi-
ture of approximately slO.oOO,OOO, an
amount larger than Is being expended by
this system at any other point
The Southern railway is now proceeding
with the erection of new freight terminals
at Buntyn, an eastern suburb of Memphis
These new yards will parallel the main
line of the Southern for more than 9
mile and half and, while comparatively
narrow, they will represent a decided In
crease in trackage as compared with the
old yards inside the city limits Grading
is already under way and track-layine
will begin in short time. II Is estl-
mated that these improvements will in
volve an outlay of about 1l,5OO,oOo.
