UNCLE SAM, BUILDER

"As those best informed predict, Uncle Sam is about to essay the task e building forty-eight cities ju jus about ninety days" says the Portland News. True, these aI nor to be cities in the full modern sense, except as to sanitation and all 'be requirements that will con- duce to the good health of their soldier inhabitants, but they are to be cities that will require an enor- nous quantity of material and la brr.
 Tt is understood to be the plan oi the war department that for the creation of the new army the coun- try will be divided into sixteen div yisopaI areas, and that each diyi- siouaI area will be divided into tbrea reserve areas, in each of whica will be located a training camp or military city, with a population of approximately 12,OOO men.
 Tn the fourteen officers train ing camps there is provision for three months training; and at the expiration of that time the officer recruits will be ready to take charge Of the training in these forty-eight soldier cities. The assumption lies that Uncle Sam will have the cities bull. by the time they are needed |"
 The Engineering News-Record, New York, says of the enterprise:
 These fOrty-eight cities will be made up of wooden buildings. It is impossible to shelter this half million men in tents, for there are hot enough tents available in ar my stores to provide for even the 35,OOO men to be brought together in the officers training camps, nor is there material available to make tents iu any reasonable time. It is reported that the army has been eadeaYoring 10 place an order for 3O,0JO,OOO yards of cotton duck. This order will take the mills long time to fill, and much of the material will be required for use for tarpauIins and similar cover ings as fast as 1t can be furnished Of lumber or wooden buildings there is fortunately an ample supply"

 Their Kidneys

No kidney trouble is unimportant Don't overlook the slightest back ache or urinary irregularity. Nature may be warning you of approach ing drcpsy, gravel or Bright's dis ease Kidney disease seldom is ia tai if treated in time, but neglect may Psve the way. Don't neglect a lame or aching back another day. Don't ignore dizzy spells, irregular or 6iscolored urine, headaches, weariDe Dess or depression. If you fe yon reed kidney help begin using tLs reliable, time-tried remedy, Doan [ Kidney Pills. For 50 years, DOan's have been found effective Endorsed by grateful people.
 Mrs. 5. O. Turner, 6OS1a Tenth St, Sacramento, California, says; T underwent three operations and this severe strain, together with colds, affected my kidneys. I had pain through my back and could hardly stoop over for if I tried to, pains caught me. My back and limbs were so stiff I couldn's move My kidneys acted too often. Doan's Kidney Pills have promptly reltev- ed me of every attack of kidney suf, ferlng."

JAPAN WILL SEND MISSION.
Thorough Discussion OF Far East
Problems Expected.

Washington.-Japan will send mis-
sion to the United States. The mis-
sion will have broad powers, especially
in diplomatic consultation, and is eX-
pected to leave Japan during the first
part of July.
Viscount Kikujiro Ishu, for short
tie Minister of Foreign Affairs, will
head the mission. Vice-Admiral Take
shita. who is well known in the United
States, heads the naval section. The
army section is headed by Major-Gen-
eral Sugano. A number of officers OF
lesser rank and attaches will accom-
pany the mission.
The mission is regarded as offering
an unparalleled opportunity for a
closer understanding between the
United States and Japan through a
full discussion of the many complex
questions of the unsettled Far East.

LARGE AREA is IRRIGATED
Uncle Sam Now Furnishes Water for
Raising of Crops on at Least
100000 Acres, It Is Estimated.

Secretary Lane of the department
of interior announces that the 1916
census of the government reclamation
projects shows an irrigable\ area of
land within these projects Of 1,426,-
600 acres. OF this acreage water was
actually furnished to and crops har-
vested on 925, 800 acres. The value Of
the crops was approximately $685.,
100000, or an average of $3S25 per
acre cropped. The value of the crops
as shown by the preceding years CEN
sus was $1s.000,OOO, or an average Of
$24 per acre cropped.
In addition to this, Uncle Sans
reclamation projects also furnish wa
ter to outlying areas served by private
canals. 1t is estimated that altogeth-
err the government projects are now
furnishing water actually used on at
least 100000 acres.

like AMERICAN APPLE
Brazil and Argentina Buy Fruit
From United States.
But Cutting Off of Competition
Has Also Helped Business.

Brazil and Argentina together now
take $4,000 barrels of American applesl
and $4,000 boxes of American pears
each year, and the trade is growing
steadily, says a report on South Amer
lean markets for fresh fruits just is
sued by Uncle Sans bureau of for
eign and domestic commerce. Trade
in other fruits is less important, but
since the war started American prod
ucts have had the market to them
selves so far as outside competition is
concerned and have made a very good
impression.
In both Brazil and Argentina the
American apple is supreme in the high
class trade, as it is in all parts of the
the number of people who are able to
pay the rather high prices asked Cor
it. The American pear is especially
well liked in Brazil and sells wen,
also, in Argentina. The Brazil APP
pies and pears appeal to consumers
in much the same manner that trop-
ical fruits appeal to Americans, but

main closely resembles that of the
United States, American fruits of this
description sell for two entirely diff
ferent reason irst because they come
during the oil season for the native
and New Zealand fruit, and second
because of their unquestioned quality.
Walter Fischer, author of the ha-
reau's report. states that practically
all of this trade dates from 1910. the
greatest increase occurring in 1914,
so that the war had nothing to do
with it's early growth. Since the war
started shipments from Europe have
been largely cut off, and purchases
from the United States have increased
accordingly. Competition with the
cheaper and lOwer-grade european
fruit will become as keen as ever prob
ably when the war is over, but the
American shipper need have little fear
for his fancy apple and pear trade, Il
is declared.
The west coast of South America is
not so good a market for foreign
fresh fruits as Brazil and Argentina,
but the author states that more busi-
ness can be obtained if careful atten-
ton is given the subject.

GERMANS RAID
LONDON AGAIN
81 Persons Killed and 431
Wounded.
NO MILITARY DAMAGE
Residents OF the Poorer Sections Oh
the City Were Victims-Many

Them.
NO MILITARY DAMAGE

London-In a swift and deadly raid
on the city of London Wednesday Ger
man airplanes took heavy toll in kill
ed and wounded. Other places were
attacked, but so far as is known at
present by far the heaviest losses &C.
Cured in London town itself.
The casualties as officially an
nounced number 534, including 81 kill
ed and 437 wounded F'ifty-five men
met death and 223 men were wounded.
Sixteen women and 26 children were
killed and 122 women and 81 children
were wounded.
The German squadron consisted of
about Is machines, and the downtown
section of London was their chief OBJ
jective. Many bombs fell in the East
End, where buildings were destroyed
and others badly damaged and scores
OF persons fell victims to the eXplo-
siCns. In one instance alone 10 chill
dren were killed in a school and so
were injured.
British airpIanes assembled imme-
diately the signal was given that hos
tile machines were coming, but the
Germans remained at a great height
and flew swiftly, and evidently the
British fighters had difficulty in the
pursuit, for the loss of only one Ger
man machine has been recorded.
Others are reported to have been
brought down, but there is no official
confirmation of this. The anti-air-
craft guns of London seemingly were
unable to reach the Germans.
While a great many small business
houses and the homes of the poor in
the crowded districts suffered great
damage. Field Marshal Viscount
French, commander of the home de-
tense, announces that no damage of
military or naval nature was done.
Mr.. Bonar Law also announced a
UNDERLINE, few miles from Man

were killed or injured. This explosion

about so children. A number of ware
houses were damaged and fires were
caused.
"A few bombs also We're dropped

banks of the Thames, four persons
being injured
The air raid over London lasted
about IS minutes. The raiders, were
engaged by guns OF the East London
Defenses and a large number of air
planes of the Royal Flying Corps and
Royal Naval Air Service were sent up
as soon as the enemy was reported off
the coast. Several engagements took
place in the air. but the results at
present are uncertain"
