P.ROgPKRITY 18 RgTL-RXIXO J au thorite the expenditure of New York World Say 0o MUUon , Mm Will jo lu Work. . The Ntrw .York World Sunday morn ing printed an exhaustive review of the revival. of Industry following the election, showing that 1,000.000 men are marching briskly forward to re opened factories, busy whirling looms and aplndlea and to railroads and other branches. :From every section of the United States the wheels of shops and fac tories are shrieking a rousing wel come to batalllons of employes who are resjonding promptly to the call for more help to man the plants which have been entirely closed or practically out of commission pending the result of the national election. Huge Demand for Ijatior. In each quarter of the nation smoke pours from the chimneys of establishments which have been working reduced forces of men . at' half time. Rush orders for addi tional equipment have poured into the offices of machinery builders In volume and sufficient to swamp them and creating. at once a tremendous demftnd for additional employes. All along the line word has been passed that prosperity has arrived simultaneously with the' election of William H. Taft, and, like a giant, business and manufacturing interests have roused from lethargy and, shak ink off the shackles of uncertainty and distrust of radical -changes In economic conditions, have ordered fires rekindled and forces doubled. Every barometer of trade has changed utterly within a week. The first news from the polls sent the glass to the "fair weather" mark, and within a week business conditions from coast to coast have become won derfully settled. I rnprecedeiitecl Prosperity. From ilnanclal headquarters the signal has been flashed to business flrniB to hurry the building of delay ed railroad lines. Contracts Involv ing expenditures of huge sums for equipment and labor and which con tained clauses conditioned ujon the election result, have been put Into effect by telegraph. In many manu facturing centers of the east and west, and In the south, the full strength of the labor army is practically called Into action. There Is not an Industrial captain but has Hlgnnlled the magic slogan, "Get Uusy!" From all parts of the country come details of a revival of Industries and business. The World then follows with nine columns of dispatches from all In dustrial centers In all parts of the t'nlted States, showing unusual ac tivity, and quotes bankers and busi ness men as predicting the greatest spasm of prosperity the country has experienced 111 years. The trend of nil the Interviews is that the country feels firm ground under Its feet, with no obstacles lu the way of progress. put Now' that the regular election are out of the way, railroad men are or ganizing for a vigorous campaign to force an advance of freight rates. Their argument Is that, unless this be done, wages will have to be reduced. It Is said they aland ready to dis charge thousands of omptoyes to ninke a bad situation worse if the public refuses to countenance their extravagant demand for higher rateR. Responsible railroad managers are nctlng like a lot of cry-babies. They are pretending that they have been abused more than any olher class of business men, when everybody knows perfectly well that their claim is ab surd. Railroads are not doing so much business as In the past, but that is not for the reason that they have been abused, but because there has been a panic, and It might also be said that It cannot cause one, either, for panics nre a natural development of growlh. They nre to the business world what growing pains are to chil dren. The panic which' has caused all (ho suffering will be over In a year, and business is already on tin move. The really Importnnt railroad men know this perfectly well, but under cover of a pretended belief that something must be done to save the railroads, they are attempting to fas ten on the public a schedule of rates that will Justify the enormous prices to which railroad securities have been manipulated.

Catarrh. Su Herein ure Nothing but Hawking, Spitting and mowing Machines. Says an Authority.

It en tirely stopped the brick dust sedi ment and pain and symptoms of, kid ney disease disappeared. I am glad to say that I have never had a return of any of those symptoms during the four years that have elapsed and I am evidently cured to stay cured, and heartily recommend Foley's Kidney Cure to any one suffering from kid ney or bladder trouble."

BJories, who has been transferred by the conference from Coqullle to this city..- ; . The State of Oregon Includes with in Its boundaries an area almost as laree as the state of Ohio nntrflverspri by a single mile of railroad. To the I town of Silver Lake, In this area, I belongs the distinction of being the ' post-oince farther away from a rail road than any other In the United States, it Is 175 miles from the near est railway station to Silver Lake, and over this distance supplies of all kinds such as hardware, foodstuffs, and, in fact, everything that Is not raised In the immediate vicinity must be hauled by team; and yet, contrary to the popular notion, the country about this town Is far from being a bnrien desert. In the past stock raising has been the principal industry, for lack of transportation facilities has made It profitable to raise only such produce as could be fed to stock that can be driven to market. The soil Is, however, well adapted to dry-farming methods, and on some areas that can he artificially watered almost any of the ordinary farm products can be successfully grown. l'nder agreements mnde by the United States Geological Survey with the Reclamation service, the weather bureau and state officials of Oregon, an investigation of the water supply of this area is to be undertaken. Gaging stations are to bo located on all the principal streams to deter mine their How. a lnrge number of ralnlnll stations will be established for the purpose of ascertaining the amount of precipitation in the var ious drainage basins, nnd a study will be made of the relation between the precipitation and the run-off of the streams, whose flow varies as greatly from season to season as does the rainfall. Projects to reclaim this area by Irrigation will therefore In volve the construction of reservoirs In which the flood waters of the streams can be stored to make them available during the Irrigating period. The question of Impounding water for Irrigation dn large reservoirs Im mediately brings up the question of evaporation, and stations at which this phase of . the subject will be studied will be established on four or five ot the principal lakes. - During changes of weather al ways use Marsters' Cough Balsam.
