SINKING IN THE MUD.
Prompt Word la Necessary to Raise
. the Maine.
v Havana, Feb. 28. The wreck of the
Maine is Blowly but surely sinking into
the mud. Before the hull can be
raised it will be necesBary to move the
Runs and deck debris. For lack of
proper appliances, practically nothing
' in this line has been accomplished. '
The cloudy weather and rain made
the work of the divers unsatisfactory
' today, and very little was done. It is
said that a hole has been made by the
divers in one of the forward hatches,
and it is hoped that a number of bodies
will be recovered.
The court of inquiry sat longer than
usual today, the six divers being exam
ined more in detail than heretofore.
, At the afternoon session the examina
tion of the divers was continued. A
civilian whose testimony is said to be
of . importance, was also examined.
The name of the witness and all partio
ulars of the evidence are withheld.
Late today, the paymaster's safe,
: with $22,500, and his papers, was
t.nWon from the wreck. Bevond this.
no statement is made as to the value
and nature of the oontents. A large
quantity of water ran out when the safe
v was raised above the surface.
The complaint is still made that the
electric lamps are of little use to the
divers, as the light is faint and uncer
tain, and to hold them takes one of the
; diver's hands. Jhey have assuredly
proved of little value in the present
investigation.
i So far as reports made public go,
workmen on the Right Arm with 'the
assistance of the naval divers are labor
ing hard to reoover the bodies under
,tha hatch which led to the fireroom
platforms. It is hoped the bodies will
- be taken out tomorrow.
The Havana papers print long ex
tracts from the American papers but of
course only of delayed news. All the
Americans are anxiously waiting the
arrival of tomorrow's mail.
Consnl-General Lee says he has re
ceived no news of importance from the
state department.
The Spanish cruiser Alfonso XIII has
been towed to a buoy further within
, the harbor to make room for the oruiser
Vizoaya which is expected here tomor
row or the next day from New York.
The wounded are, reported as doing
well today.
The' wreoking tug Right Arm is
engaged in removing Buch parts of the
wreck as it is possible to handle in ad
vance of the arrival of strong tugs and
derricks from the north. It is believed
., the divers from the fleet and Right
Arm will remain at work when the
Mangrove- leaves. The Fern will be
the, only Untied States . vessel in the
s harbor after the Mangrove goes,

' WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Trade Conditions in the Leading Cities
of the World.
It begins to look as if Leiter, for all
his impudence in ignoring the advice of
Tom, Dick, Harry and other old time
fcpeculators, knew something about run
ning a wheat deal. Where wheat will
get to is . beyond anybody's ken.
Armour says there is no reason why it
should not be put to $1.50. He adds he
is a believer in high prices for another
year. Leiter talks $1.25. No human
being can foreoast a market with cer
tainty, for it would be no market if
such a thing were possible. Leiter ap
preciates this or he would not now be
marketing his cash holding. The spec
ulators with widest experience agree
that the Leiter oontrol is as complete
as anything human could be. , There
has never been a time, though, and
never will be, when there are not con
tingencies enough about the wheat sit
uation to keep it exciting. The Leiter
wheat interest continues larger than
any that ever existed before. It was
deemed extraordinary early in February
that he should extend his purchases
into May. He has not stopped at that.
He has gone into July. His risks on
his oash lines in the pit have been re
duced by his recent sales, but his line
in the pit have been increased. The
whole effort has been of late to cheapen
the average holding, and it would look
as if success had attended that. Leiter
has lost more or less wheat on ''oalltj."
What he has dope in the pit. is mere
guses work. The "talent" believe his
May line a very commanding one, some
where between 6,000,000 bushels and
10,000,000 bushels. His accumulations
of July wheat last weelmight easily
have - readied 2,500,000 bushels, per
haps double that. The figures seem
grandiose. Loiters' ideas 'of quanti
ties are, however, different from the
ordinary trades. It will be no exag
geration, in the estimation of any pro
fessional in this market, to putLeiter's
interest, with all his recent cash sales,
at 23,000,000 bushels. . His present
profits, on paper, must be astounding,
easily $2,000,000, perhaps double that.
If Leiter .continues, to be favored to
the end as he has been in the past the
story of his huge wheat operations will
read like an oriental one, the plans too
magnificent, the results too extraordi
nary to be everyday.

ARID AND SEMI-ARID LAND.
A Study of Conditions In the Paciflo
Northwest.
There is a work going on in connec
tion with the geological surveys of the
government that is of Interest to the
nation at large, also to the world in
general. This is known as the hydro
graphic department, and relates to reo
lamation of arid lands by means of
irrigation. What has been known as
the great Amerioan Desert, and so des
ignated on the maps up to a generation
of time ago, was not desert in the nor
mal sense of possessing no soil, but be
cause of the lack of water to make its
soil available. The object of the gov
ernment is to make praotical tests,
based on scientific faot, to discover how
arid lands can be made to produce har
vests and so become homes for millions
of people. t
In the states of Oregon, Washington
and Idaho are wide areas that are cap
able of development, if water can be
had to stimulate the soil. We may
suppose that sagebrush land is worth
less, but wherever sagebrush prows the
soil is good and generally deep. There
is so much of what we call desert in
the North Pacific region that the citi
zens of these states are specially inter
ested in the subject of Irrigation. In
regard to Oregon half the area of the
state is arid, and two-thirds of all east
of the Cascades. Whatever will re
deem our arid lands will add greatly to
the future wealth and prosperity of the
state.
From Mr. Bobb, who has lately re
turned from a season in the North Pa
cific states, it is learned that at the re
quest of a local engineer he investigat
ed the water supply of the Dungeness
district, on the Sound, where there is
shortage of water for crops in June,
July and August. He placed stations
on the Dungenness, Elwha and Soldeck",
to ascertain what supply can at that
season be depended on for irrigating
ditches, in case private capital desires
to make such investment.
In Eastern Washington gauge sta
tions are located as follows: One each
on the Spokane,' Natchess, Wenatchee
and Palouse, and three on the Yakima.
He also made mountain surveys for
reservoir sites to save water through
the rainy season for use in summer,, as
is done in the San Bernardino moun
tains in Southern California.
In Oregon the work has but com-menced,-
though there is far more arid
land in that state than in Washington.
A station is established at Gibbon, on
the Umatilla, not far from the hot
springs; another on the Malheur; one
on the Owyhee, in the extreme north
east. Mr. Bobb expressed much inter
est in Hood river valley, where is a
station, for he saw its wonderful fruits;
there is also a station on the Deschutes.
Idaho offers greater opportunity for
irrigation than Oregon, as she has
mountain ranges and various rivers.
Stations are on the Weiser, Boise, Pay
ette, Port Neuf, Bear river, and at
Montgomery's 'ferry, on Snake. As
this work is comparatively recent, re
sults have not as yet been so clear and
certain as at other districts.
When we estimate the immense Area
of arid lands and know that, not in
cluding Alaska, one-third of the
.United States remains still public do
main, and that the greater portion of
this is arid land rich in soil, but with
out water supply, the immense import
ance of this work is apparent. The in
terest these gentlemen take in their
work is apparent from the kindness
with which they furnish information.
Take, the North Pacific states and
estimate the area of arid lands, and
the result is surprising. In Eastern
Washington there is an area of 6,000,'
000 of acres requiring water supply to
become productive. Eastern Oregon
is yet larger, and has a much greater
proportion of what is called desert,
save that flocks and herds graze over it
when water can be had at alb .
Idaho has vast areas to the south and
some on the north, but facilities for
water supply are present in its ' various
streams. The two states Idaho and
Oregon must have 15,000,000 of acres
arid, making a total of over 20,000,000
in the three states, that can be trans
formed to homes, if water can work its
magio there.
There are also extensive natural
basins where water can be had by bor
ing artesian wells, by which means
much land can be made , productive.
While the government does not practic
ally experiment by boring such wells,
its agents study the results attained by
private enterprise, and have maps, as
for instance, of the Pueblo district of
Colorado to show how great an area
sufface has an underflow that can
cotne to the surface; also where water
supply can be had for pumping.
. When we know that a quarter-section
of land will make a home for a family,
and take the arid acreage of the three
North Pacific) states for a basis of esti
mate; if bne quarter of this area can be
redeemed, it will furnish homes for
87,500 families and support a popula
tion of 250,000 people. .Take the arid
portions of Oregon and Idaho, 'and it
means that from 500,000 to 750,000
people can find productive farms if the
arid lands of these states pan be re
claimed. The towns, cities and in
dustries naturally pertaining will sup
port 1,000,000 total.
This work is furnishing valuable
facts on which to base reclamation of
the arid lands of this continent, which
is one of the most important questions
for our statesmen to consider.'
Priceless Boon to Our Followers.
Of course all this vaBt "extent of arid
territory cannot be made available for
farms and homes, but very much of it
can be, and the work of experiment
and disoovery that goes on so constant
ly may discover more means for such
reclamation. The rapid growth of
population will soon exhaust all lands
fit for homesteads. To add this arid
area to our productive domain will be a
priceless boon to those who are to fol
lows us. : ,
ALASKA BREAD. .
How to Prepare the "Staff of Life," by
a Practical Miner.
Bread in Alaska means always baking
power bread or biscuit, for no other
kind is possible. There ia no yeast or
any other means of laising dough.
An experienced miner, one who has
been in Alaska five years, has just given
us two of his most useful receipts.
Those who think of going to the
Klondike should keep them, and those
who stay at home will be interested in
knowing how a practical miner prepares
his "staff of life."
Bread: quart of flour, two tablespoon
fuls of Cleveland's baking powder, half
a teaspoonful of salt; mix up with cold
water or milk until stiff. Grease the
pan, bake until cooked (about half an
hour).
Biscuit: quart of flour, two teaspoon
fuls Cleveland's baking powder, and
half a teaspoonful of salt. Mix thor
oughly while dry with lard or bacon
fat. Then mix with waUr or milk un
til stiff enough to roll out. Cut into
oircles with top of baking powder can
or cup; bake about fifteen minutes.
Several other Alaska , receipts to
gether with lists of groceries, clothing
and supplies to- take with one are pub
lished in a Klondike ciroular. This
circular, together with a cook .book of
four hundred receipts, will be mailed
you free if you send stamp and address
to Cleveland Baking Powder Co., 81

to do so.
In despair
and took to
my bed. I
had dread
ful pains In
my heart,
fainting1
spells,
sparks be
fore , my
eyes, and
sometimes
I would
get so blind
I could not
Bee for several minutes. I could not
stand very long without feeling sick
and vomiting.
I also had female weakness, inflam
Elation of ovaries, painful menstru
ation, displacement of the womb, itch
ing of the external parts, and ulceration
of the womb.. I have had all these
complaints.
"The pains I had to stand were some
thing dreadful. My husband told m
to try a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's
medicine, which I did, and after tak
ing it for a while, was cured." ,:
