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.

J r J 1 1 J uuu BUU UIS IBUITUIDU UlUWimjO , 111 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. and there you -are. Meantime the gov eminent officials knock private enter prises and warn the people against them, when, as the situation stands. u is oniy private enterprise, In pro moting irrigation district bonds, in Col orado, at least, that is really doing any thing. Excavator for Irrigation Canals. A thousand men toiling with shovels and wheelbarrows from sunrise to sun set could not accomplish as much work DOES THE WORK OF as the great steam excavator shown in the illustration performs in eight hours. The burning sun or rain in tor rents has no terrors for this mammoth earth-devouring monster. The scene I la from a photograph of the consfruc- tion work on the Irrigation canal in 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. All these movements of the machine MAIN KITCHEN OF As may be seen from the cut. in any way contribute to the successful maintenance of such a cuisine as should properly be furnished the chief citizen of such a country as the : United States. There is no unnecessary elaboration of the premises, and that makes it easier for everything to be kept immaculately neat Official enter taining has become such a feature at the White House that it requires a decided genius to conduct the culinary re controlled by one lerernwn, who I may be seen In the. cut standing on ' the platform on the left of the bucket, He has control of five separate levers, one for raising and lowering the buck et chain, one for moving the car to the right, and another for moving the car to the left and another for moving I it forward on the side track, and the fifth controls the engine. The rapidi ty and facility with which all these movements are made Is surprising, es pecially considering the momentum and immense weight of the car and bridge and the excavator's machinery, which is about 300 tons. Milk River Irrigation Project. The Great Falls (Mont) land office has received instruction to withdraw from all forms of entry 276,480 acres' of land, in connection with the Milk, river irrigation project Part of the tract withdrawn lies, northwest of Havre, extending irregularly from the line of the Great Northern to the inter national boundary, comprising part of the chain of lakes, reservoir sites and lands lying along Milk river and Sage creek. Another portion of the tract lies west of the Montana Central, between the Big Sandy and Box Elder creeks, and is presumably withdrawn in connec tion with the Marias Diversion canal portion of the Milk river prejuct Discover a Water Supply. Residents of the Pecos valley in New Mexico are excited by the discovery that underlying more than 600,000 acres of desert land is apparently an Inexhaustible supply of water. ,The fame of the region has spread through out the country, and even to portions of Europe. The water gushes from the ground wherever borings are made and pours over a thirsty land, trans forming It into a garden of almost re markable fertility. 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 low it In this respect the ancient Greeks showed great wisdom. Exer cise and bathing they called the two MM 1.000 MEN EVERY DAY. pillars of strength. Exercise was Her cules ana bathing Apollo. Both were regarded with equal importance, and neither was complete without the other. Grasped the Opportunity. Teas Mr. Saphead gave you a earn era for your birthday, didn't he?

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.

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. Always In tbe Market. Jinks Why de these millionaires dress so shabbily?
