WATER VOH CITIES.
tiovmumut May Furnish Supply to
Cities Adjacent to Projects.
. The town of Yuma, Arls., lies en
tirely within the linos of the Yuma
Kovernment Irrigation project, and at
the present has an execrable water
system, says Maxwell's Talisman.
The water Is now pumped directly
from the river Into settling tanks,
and from these Is distributed through
the mains. Only a small part of the
town Is supplied with filtered water
and the price Is almost prohibitory.
The climatic candltlons being arid and
nearly semi-tropical, the town re
quires a larger proportional share of
water than almost any other city In
the United States.
A recent act of congress provides
that the government may supply wa
ter from Its Irrigation projects to
cities within or adjacent to the Irri
gated areas, and the citizens of Yu
ma, by a petition which has been
signed by -the largest property hold
ers, are urging the town council to
make an application to the secretary
of the Interior for a water right This
will probably be the first application
tinder the new law.
All the news all the time In the East

Often The Kidneys Are
Weakened by Over-Work.
Cnbealthj Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
It used to be considered that only
tirinary and bladder troubles were to be
traced to the kidneys,
but now modern
I science proves that
nearly all diseases
have their beginning
in the disorder of
these most important
organs.
The kidneys filter
and purify the blood
that is their work.
Therefore, when your kidneys are weak
or out of order, von can understand how
quickly your entire body is affected and
bow every organ seems to fail to do its
tuty.
if you are sick or " feel badly," begin
taking the great kidney remedy, Dr.
Kilmer's Swamn-Root, because as soon
is your kidneys are well they will help
all the otner organs to ncauu. a. iriai
will convince anyone.
If you are sick you can make no mis
take bv first doctoring "your kidneys.
The mild and the extraordinary effect of
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidnev remedy, is soon realized. It
stands the highest for its wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases, and is sold
on its merits by all FOlL
druggists in fifty-cent
and one-dollar size
bottles. You may
have a sample bottle noma of swimpRoot.
by mail free, also a pamphlet telling you
how to find out if you have kidney or
bladder trouble. 'Mention this paper
when writing to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bing
hamton, N. V. Don't make any mistake,
but remember the name, Swamp-Root,
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the ad

Athena, July 19. The farmers of
this section are looking forward with
much Interest to the coming wheat
salesdays, which have been set aside
by the Inland Empire Wheatgrowers'
association for this place, which will
be on Thursdays 4f each week from
August 29 to September 27. Hon. C.
A. Barrett of this city, who Is a mem
ber of the executive committee, states
that the association Is In earnest in
Its efforts to make the salesdays a
success. The farmers believe that this
will be a great advantage as It Is an
Incentive for the buyers to offer the
highest prices possible.
Men Scarce.
The farmers are having some diffi
culty at this time In securing men for
haying. Two dollars per day Is be
ing offered, and while there are quite
a number of men In Athena who
claim to be laborers, but they say
they do not care to work In the hay
fields and are waiting for harvest.
Most of these men have money and
have been working on the railroad
between Rlparla and Lewlston, and
they were compelled to quit work on
the road on account of the heat. They
are all paying their way. and If they
will work during harvest as they
claim It Is probable that there will
be plenty of help at that time. It Is
believed that harvest will be on In the
next .week.
It Is understood that the Preston
Parton Milling company has plenty of
grain on hand to run both the Athena
and Waltsburg mills until harvest Is
over and the new wheat begins to
