INVENTION OF PORTLAND MAN.
Creating Great Interest Aniens Irri-
gationists and Hydraulic Miners.
What promises to be a priceless boon
to' the hundreds interested in irrigating
and hydraulic mining projects is an
invention which has recently betn
brought to a state of commercial per
fection by W. K. Phillips, a practical
hydraulic engineer ef Portland. It is
a hydraulic rami that will utilise any
fall ef water from three feet up for the
purpose ef raising a portion of it to
any desired level. It is a perfect sub
stitute for the water-wheel and pump
combined, with greater efficiency. It
requires no attention and involves no
cost of operation.
. , For hydraulic miners it will convert
the volume of water into pressure. It
enables them to dispense with long
and costly pipe lines. It will make
available gravel beds heretofore un
touched by the hydraulic giant. It is
of unquestioned superiority in its ap
plication to hydraulic gravel and
water elevators. It is thought it will
fill the demand of the hydraulic miner
for some suitable means of exploiting
gravel beds inaccessible to the high
beads of water demanded by the hy
draulie giant. Recent reports show
vast areas of such unexplored gravel
beds to exist in the Pacific Northwest.
.' In an interview with - Mr. Phillips.
from whom the above information was
btained, we were told that the license
to manufacture the ram was sold to the
Colusabia Engineering Works, ef Port
land.

the subject at this time are strangely
dense. The public is fed constantly
with lovely articles about the grand
national irrigation works under way,
while the fact is that all the great
values mentioned concerning reclama
tion of the arid region are the result of
private initiative and enterprise and
capital.
Few people understand that the na
tional irrigation fund Is nothing but a
bulk of capital which may be advanced
to build reservoirs and ditches, upon a
guarantee that the owners of the lands
to be irrigated will repay the cost to
the fund. The national fund is not to
be depleted, but must be replenished
by the payment back of the cost of the
work, as assessed by the government
engineers; and if signatures to such
pledges can't be secured, - the works
proposed will not be built
Knowing that all government work
costs vastly more than if done by pri
vate capital, and the United States
failing to guarantee the limit of the
cost, lots of landowners won't sign.

prises and warn the people against
them, when, as the situation stands.

Excavator for Irrigation Canals.

Colusa County, California. The arti
ficial river thus created is six miles
long, 100 feet wide, and 35 feet to the
top of its banks.- The Sacramento riv
er furnishes the water which makes
fertile 156,000 acres of fruit ranches.
The excavator travels on its own
railway tracks on each side - of the
canal, and as the work proceeds the
track is taken up and relald ahead
of the machine. t
The steel buckets, which have sharp.
cutting edges, move constantly by
means of endless chains, and empty
their load of earth first on one side,
then on the other. Wide endless belts
carried on rollers carry the earth to
the sides of the ditch.

tract withdrawn lies, northwest of
Havre, extending irregularly from the
line of the Great Northern to the inter

the chain of lakes, reservoir sites and
lands lying along Milk river and Sage

When to Kxero ee.
When to exercise is an important
consideration. If the morning only is
available, the exercise should be light
Particularly is this the case 'if one is
engaged in any work. The supply of
energy must not be drawn from at the
beginning of the day. The afternoon
is perhaps the best time for exercise,
when one has gained strength from
the absorption of the morning and
noon meals. Those who exercise vig
orously at night should eat a mid
day dinner. Exercise should always
precede bathing, and not, as a rule, fol

In the fall of 1895 Icontracted that fear
ful disease, Blood Poison. It gained such
headway that I was forced to resign my
position and seek relief at Hot Springs.
After spending all the means I had I went
to Memphis. In less than three weeks I
was in a hospital, and after nine weeks of
suffering I was discharged as cured. In
less than a month every bone in my body
seemed to be affected and felt as if they
would break at the least exertion. Again
I was compelled to resign, and I returned
to' the hospital for a seven weeks stay.
When I came out I was advised to try
farming. When I first went on the farm I
prevailed on the only firm who bandied
drugs to get me one dozen bottles of 8. S.
S. At. that time both of my hands were
broken out with blisters and I was covered
with boils and sores. In the meantime my
druggist had gotten two dozen bottles of
S. S. S. for me and I began its use, and
after taking the thirteenth bottle not a
sore or boil was visible. R. B. PowEU

TO BE
AVOIDED
Intense Gold Breeds Catarrfj.
Severe Weather.
February is a month of severe storms
and intense cold.
Even in the South where the prevail
ing temperature is much above wintry
latitudes, February brings sudden
changes of temperature.
Mercury sometimes drops 20 degrees
in a single night.
Therefore, the following health hints
are applicable to the whole of North
America:
Ventilation.
The sleeping rooms should be well
ventliated, but so as to avoid direct
currents of air.
Bathlnc.
Those in vigorous health should take
a cold water towel bath every morning
before breakfast. Those in feeble
health should take a brisk dry-towel-rub
every morning.
Diet
The diet should be a generous one,
including meat, and occasionally-fresh
vegetables.
Sunshine.
The nights being long and the days
short, as much sunshine as possible
should be let into the house during the
day.
Clothing.
The head should be kept cool at all
times. The feet should be kept waim
and dry, day and night.
PeHro-na.
When unavoidably exposed to cold
or wet, a few dose of Peruna will avert
bad consequences.
Precaution.
- When seized with a chill, er even
slight chilliness, a dose of Peruna
should be taken at once.
