"Real property values In Klamath Falls have increased from 100 to 500 per cent In the 'last four years," said State Treasurer !C. S. Moore, today, upon his return from a visit to that city. "The Increase ap plies not only to business property but 'to residence property as well, and is shown by the records of sales. Agricul tural land has also advanced in value, and farms that would bring 515 to $20 an acre fAII. ...in. coll f- 1A tn CD inis marKea navance in values is uue chiefly to the belief of the people that the Government will construct an extensive irrigation system In the Klamath coun try, thereby adding several hundred thou sand acres to the producing area of that region, bringing in more homebuilders and developing Industries of all kinds. "While It Is not certain that the project will be undertaken, the engineers have expressed themselves as well pleased with the situation, and a favorable report from the board of consulting engineers is al most certain "The consulting engineers rode over the territory to be covered by the Irrigation system, but were called to Yuma, Cal., before they had time to go over the plans and surveys of the engineer In charge. In two or three weeks we shall know what their report will be." Treasurer Moore Is an owner of lands that will be within the tract served by the Government system, and Is. part own er of water rights on Klamath River. His trip to Klamath Falls was for the pur pose of meeting the board of consulting engineers. Concerning the situation he says: "The Government has options on all the water rights except that of the Klam ath Canal Company, and I believe It will be possible for the representatives of the Government and the canal company to get together on a compromise that will bo satisfactory to both. Neither can hope to gain much by litigation, while much time will be saved If a compromise can be reached. f" "The Klamath people are In hopes of having railroad communication soon with the outside world, and have raised a sub scription of $S6.0C0 to aid in building a road connecting with the Southern Pacific. It is expected that $15,000 more will be sub scribed by San Francisco capitalists, and .this will complete the $100,000 which it Is proposed to give to the company building a railroad to Klamath Falls.

DRUG HABITS Easily Formed but Hard to Break. A man down In old Virginia tells of his experience which points a simple and effective way out. He says: "About 15 years ago my wife, through , using coffee and laudanum for relief of neuralgia, became addicted to the hab its, containulng until she ,had about de stroyed stomach, nerves and mind. This brought on periods of dementia lasting from one to two weeks, growing steadily worse until the 3d of August, last year, our family physician called In consulta tion another doctor, who had been Resi dent Physician at our State Insane Asy lum. "They decided the only hope was to place her in a sanitarium, otherwise she would be hopelessly insane before the year was out. On Investigation we found that charges for such a patient beyond ! our means, so it was necessary to face j the worst at home. j "Upon the advice ot a friend, she stopped the use of coffee, of which she j was very fond, and began the use of ! Postum Food Coffee as a remedy for the j constipation which accompanied the at ! tacks. The result was more than we ex pected. It not only relieved the consti pation greatly, but aided her to break the laudanum habit, for when she found her self possessed of the desire to 'take something.' a cup of strong Postum would allay the desire and soothe and refresh her. "This led to the regular use of Postum, and Grape-Nuts, that also seemed to nourish and strengthen the overwrought nerves, she steadily got better and bet-, ter, and today. Instead of being In the In nane asylum, she Is still with us in her own home, sounder In mind and body than for several years past. The attacks of dementia have steadily grown milder and less frequent, until now we have every reason to believe that she will soon be fully restored sound In mind and body. "I know this has been accomplished entirely by the aid of Postum and Grape Nuts, for not since that consultation over a year ago has she taken a particle of medicine of any sort. "In writing this my greatest desire is to bring the use of your products to the notice of some other unfortunate, trem bling upon the brink of that most terrible of all calamities. Insanity, and I thor oughly believe and know that leaving off coffee and other drugs and taking good food and drink Is the surest means by which It can be averted. I give the name of our family physician, also the consult ing physician, who can vouch for the truth of what I have written. You are at liberty to furnish name and address to any one really Interested." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
