Dear Sir: For many years nn edf
tor myself, I address you by request
and nB a slmplo duty. A great dis
covery has been made In tms city.
It Is fraught with so much import
ance and yet is so hard to bellovc,
that those who aro personally cog
nizant should add tuc weight of their
Influence, be It great or small.
I not only know by contact with
many of tho beneficiaries but was
myself rescued from Brlght's Dtscaso
by it. Tho cure has been found and
tho difficulty in bellovlng It is cost
ing many lives. It is astounuing
how far our prejudices carry us. But
tho great fact is here, and acceptance
moans recovery.
After my own unexpected rcleaso
I wouldn't let my friends rest and
several took the treatment and re
covered. Ono was Charles F. Wack
cr, tho Sixth street merchant. Ho
had Diabetes and tnought ho was co
ins to die. Ho got. well and passed
or a $5,000 policy.
I say to you as a brother that those
of your friends who have Dlnbetcs or
Brlght's Disease, and everyone knows
of some, that they can recover. I
will bo glad as one of many survivors
out hero to give you further informa
tion. Yours &.C.,
Chas. H. Engelke.

T GOVERNMENT HEAT
PROJECT IN STATE OF
Ml
Washington, D. C, March 7. (Spe
cial.) Tho wild and wonderful top
ography of Northwestern Wyoming
is to bu tho scene of grent engineer
ing activity. A recent action of tho
Irrigation reclamation service In set
ting aside two and a quarter million
dollars for tho construction of a
huco dam nnd Irrigation works on
tho Shoshono river in Wyoming
lends interest to some little known
investigations which hnvo been mado
In this uninhabited wilderness. A
brief discussion of Uie work of tho
government engineers during tho
past year In this region will be found
In tho forthcoming second annual
report of tho reclamation service,
but tho explorations and survoys of
the government date back almost to
tho civil war.
Tho Shoshono project has great
possibilities and when completely
worked out will probably Irrlgato
fully 500,000 acres of waste lands,
parched, but holding In their dry
embrace enduring fertility.
Rising near tho boundary of the
Yellowstone National park In North
western Wyoming, that nature's
wonderland, tho Shoshono river,
flowing eastward, rushes Into a can
yon cut down through solid granite.
The flow of the Shoshone, named by
tho Indians "Stinking Water," be
cause of its sulphurous origin among
tho Yellowstone springs. Is highly
variable. In time of Hood S,000 or 10,
000 cubic feet per second, and again
as low as 250 feet.
The possibilities of this great pro
ject therefore, lies in tho storage of
the floods. Joining the walls of this
granite canyon, tho government will
build a cement-stone dam, as Im
movable as the overlastlng rocks
themselves, and rising 170 feet nbovo
the river level, forming a great lake
covering 3,300 acres and with a stor
age capacity of 7,000,000,000 cubic
feet.
The canyon at the dam site Is but
75 feet wido at tho river level, and
at the curb of tho proposed dam HO
feet wide, thus forming an acute In
verted triangle with tho point disap
pearing into the river. The stored
snow water will be led from tho res
ervoir onto tho agricultural lands
through a system of tunnels and ca
nals about four miles in length.
To Be Well Built.
In dlscusslong this project beforo
a Joint meeting of the senate and
house committee last month. Fred
erick H. Nowell, tho national hydros
rapher, emphasized tho necessity for
most careful survoys. "We can," he
said, "build a storage dam at the
upper end of the Shoshono canyon
and cover a vast extent of very high
bench land? we can como lower down
and cover a lower extent of bench,
and we can build a third and still
lower site and cover still lower
lands, and less of them. Each of
these alternatives Is being consider
ed in relation to tho ultimate future
development of the country. Theor
etically, tho government prefers to
reclaim the highest and largest ter
ritory. To secure the greatest acre
age, the cost, however, per aero is
tho highest. It must bo remembered,
however, that whatever project Is
taken will be final,
Like the Modern Railroad.
"The works aro to be of solid con
crete and of the best construction,
and on the samo principle that a
modern railroad Is built, 1. e., with a
viow to low cost of maintenance. In
order not to throw upon the people
the necessity of practically remind
ing all their flumes as soon as they
are paid for. The high lino and
largest canal for the Shoshono will
make It an Interstate project In Its
finality, cutting across tho dlvldo
Into Montana, and Into tho Crow in
dlan reservation. Upon tho opening
of this reservation, (for which a bill
has been reported favorably in tho
houso) tho government engineers
can go into the reservation and pick
out tho reclalmahlo lands."
The Immediate reclamation to re
suit from tho first work of tho gov-
ernment on this river will he about
90,000 acres in Wyoming, but as
stated, the ultimate utilization ot
all the flood waters of this shed will
Irrigate an estimated half million
acres.
Large Incidental Horsepower.
Tho Shoshono dam canal will de
velop some 5,000 horsepower, and an
additional 4,000 will bo generated
from Eaglo Nest Creek, whoso wa
ters will also bo utilized. This power
can be used, under tho reclamation
act, for pumping othor water for ir
rigation, tho samo as Is to bo done
with power dovoloped from tho Salt
Illver valley dam, which will pump
up water for an audltlonal 20,000
acres, besides tho land Irrigated from
tho river.
A gratifying fact brought out at
tho Joint committee meeting abovo
mentioned is that there aro no legal'
complications Involved In tho right
of tho government to uso tho Sho
shono river water. Tho engineering
problems aro tho only ones to bo en
countered. All tho land belongs to tho govern
ment, and has already been reserved
from all speculative entry. It can
not now ho filed upon under tho
descVt land law, tho timber and stone
law, or by utilizing tho commutation
clause of tho homestead law. It can
only bo taken up under tho original
homestead law, requiring five years'
actual residence and Improvement.
Free From Land Speculation.
This nrofect Is believed to stand
alone among those investigated thus
far by tho government under tho
national Irrigation act. In every
othor case, moro or less of tho lands
"Irrigated, aro found to no laucn
.oub ilooso
and speculative land laws, and often
with the evident Idea on tho part ot
tho entrymen that just somo such
Improvement Is to bo undertaken by
the government. Tho effect of this
then Is that when tho government
puts tho water upon Its land, great
ly Increasing Us value, tho specula
tor who has obtnlncd title Is In a po
sition to tako a largo profit from tho
real settler who should have had tho
first show. In many Instances, of
course, bona fldo settlers aro found
struggling along with an Insufficient
water supply derived from slmplo Ir
rigation projects where tho water Is
diverted directly from tho river, and
In such cases, whero the government
stores the flood waters of theso riv
ers and thus Increases tho reclaimed
area, theso settlors who havo Insuffi
cient water should really bo tlio first
beneficiaries; but It Is a senseless
proposition that congress should al
low land laws to remain in force
which cnablo tho speculator to ac
quire government land for practi
cally nothing, so that when the gov
ernment does finally build Its Irriga
tion works, theso land dealers will
be tho first beneficiaries of tho gov
ernment expenditure, making iho
cost of settlement by tho real home
maker higher and moro difficult.
Menace to the Irrigation Act.
The operation of these speculative
laws amounts, In fact, to a distinct
monaco to tho irrigation policy.
Take tho Shoshone project for an In
stance. If the cost of tho reclama
tion of this land Is $20 an acre, tho
settler going upon his government
claim of 160 acres would havo ?3,200
to pay back to the government In 10
annual Installments of $320 each.
Slnco the land Is extremely produc
tive, and will raise enormous corps
the first year that tho water Is put
upon it, it Is believed that ho would
experience little difficulty In making
theso payments, and at tho end of 10
years would own a magnificent prop
erty and his pro rata Interest In the
dam and canals,
If, on the other hand, ho had in
addition to purchase his lands (which
If public land would cost him noth
ing), from tho speculator who had
previously acquired It at a nominal
cost, the burden might be moro than
ho could bear, and tho result might
be that the lands would not bo rap
Idly colonized, and Instead of tho
government getting back Its monoy
promptly In 10 years, so that It could
lie used over for other Irrigation
works, settlement would be retarded
and years elapso beforo tho entlro
acreage ""would be taken up. Guy E.

TIMBER FOR TIES.
Pennsylvania Railroad Company Pre
paring for the Future.
Tho Pennsylvania railroad has
completed tho work ot planting 50,000
young locust trees on a tract of 100
acres of land near Conowago, law
caster county, Pa.
The trees are nhout 10 feet high
and planted 10 feet apart each way.
Ono hundred and twenty-fivo men
have been employed on the work,
which occupied threo weeks.
This Is a small beginning of what
the railroad company expects to do
in the next few years. Tho real os
tato representative of the railroad
company started recently that next
spring tho company will plant 150,
000 locust trees, noxt fall 200,000,
and tho following spring 600,000
trees. This means 1,000,000 trees
which the company will plant within ;
the noxt two years on 2,000 acres .if
ground. This Is equivalent to a '.o- j
cust forest one mllo wldo and threo
mllo long.
In the course of 25 years tho rail
road company expects to get 5,000,
000 cross ties from this vast locust
forest.
