Mrs. Bailey, wife of W. L. Bailey
who died at the Ohio House Thursday
morning, arrived from Atnador county
this noon. They have an adopted bod,
who with his wife arrived from Win
chell's at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
When Mrs. Bailey arrived here she
thought she was among strangers who
had no interest in her and her grief,
but she discovered old-time friends in
Mrs. James Bailey and Jack Stephens
who knew both her and hey husband in
Minnesota where they lived before com
ing to California. The Baileys are old
pioneer residents of Amador county and
when they came there years ago were
prominent people and highly educated.
In the years that have passed they
have met with financial reverses until
today they have nothing.
Amador county gave $25 towards the
expenses of the funeral but through
the kindness of C. P. Winchell and
Jack Stephens, Mr. Bailey had a burial
much better than that usually given by
the county.
He was interred in the City cemetery.

A FORGOTTEN HEROINE.
Garbed as a Man Bh» Unwittingly Won
Many Feminine Hearts.
Worthily worn, the gaudy trappings
of war hare ever won feminine hearts.
In recording the great services to our
country of an almost forgotten Revolu
tionary heroine, a writer has brought
to light some remarkable romances.
The heroine, tall, cultured, high-born,
joined the Continental army in the uni
form of a man and served three years
with conspicuous bravery. Her hero
ism brought her preferment and into
contact with the best people of the
Colonies, and at all the balls and other
social gatherings she was the lion ( or
lioness). The girls adored the* brave
soldier, confessed their love, and show
ered her with presents. ".The Girl
Who Fought in the Revolution " will
be a feature of the July Ladies' Home

stranger than fiction.

"Breaking Up" the Bitting Hen.
The broody hen can be cured of her
broodiness by. putting her in a coop
with a slatted bottom and leaving
nothing in the pen which she could
convert into a nest. If she is of a very
persistent disposition - she may sit on
the slats fgr a few days, bu/t she will
soon give it up, and at the end of a
week may be safely returned to the
laying pen. In most cases the slatted
bottom can be dispensed with, but the
use of it will always hasten matters.
Changing the hen from the yard to
which she has become accustomed and
putting her in another ampng strange
companions will generally puf a stop tp
her broodiness, but this plan is not as
reliable as the pne first suggested.
..We do not believe in breaking up
the brppdy hens, but pccasipnally thprp
is a sufficient reason fpr sp doing, and
when such reason exists it should be
done, by soma_uch means as the above,

The Cowboy's Proof.
"Jack" Vance, a cowboy from the
ranch of the Butte Creek Cattle Com
pany, was on trial at Alliance, Neb.,
on a charge of shooting at a brakeman
on the Burlington Railroad with in
tent to kill him. He had received his
pay a few days before and was engaged
at the time of the shooting in the pic
turesque pastime of painting the county
red.
Vance vehemently denied any intent
to perforate the brakeman. Ho told
the Court that, while it was true that
he did take out his revolver and shoot
after the brakeman bad pushed him off
the train, he was merely giving a pre
arranged signal. He and a frietid had
been down the road a few miles and
wanted to ride back to the nearest sta
tion to* the ranch. Realizing that if
they were found by any of the train
crew they would be put off, they had
arranged that if one was put off the.
train he should notify his partner by
firing his revolver once.
The trainman, with visions of what
he firmly believed was a narrow escape
from death, shook his head, and the
Judge looked unbelieving. Vance's
cowboy friend corroborated the story,
but, seeing that his tale failed to re
ceive credence, the defendant asked
the Court to please step outside. The
Judge asked what for.
. "I'll prove my innocence, Your
Honor," Vance said. '•'•';.
The Court was curious and went out
side. So did the Sheriff, lawyers and
spectators. Vance pulled out his re
volver, and, holding a postage stamp
between the fingers of his left hand,
clipped off each corner ] in succession.
Next he asked a spectator to suspend a
hickory nut from a thread. Walking
off thirty feet he wheeled and at the
first shot cut the thread. Taking six
tacks he placed them loosely in a piece
of wood. This he placed against a post
twenty-five yards away. Borrowing a
watch from a bystander, he opened the
case for a mirror, shot with his back
to the mark, and drove each tack into
the wood without a miss.
The brakemen had been looking on
in open mouthed wonder. As Vance
concluded the brakeman stepped up to
the Judge, and, tapping him on the
arm, said:
"Yes, Yer Honor, I guess I was mis
taken. That man wasn't shooting
at me."

PORTO RICAN INVESTIGATION
Water Supply and Irrigation
Reported.
THE GOVERNMENT LOOK 3 INTO THE AFFAIR
The Methods of Spaniards and Stor
age Reservoirs Are Being:
■ . : Ducuwed. u<(M
Although the island of Porto Rico
has & less area. than the diminutive
eastern State of . Connecticut, yet its
different &sr£pm are subject to as great
a variati&n^a ratnfall^asVare the ex
tremes of the United States, ranging
from practical aridity, to very heavy
precipitation.' As much as 140 inches
of annual rainfall is reported in some
parts of the Island while at some places
on the south coast three years have
passed without rain. And it is on the
south coast that opportunity is offered
for irrigation; but the area available is
very small. Some of the _ methods in
usej however, are quite interesting.
"The soil on this land, " said Herbert
M. Wilson, the Engineer of the Geo
logical Survey, who has recently visited
Porto Rico, "is in every case the best
kind for irrigation. It is fairly deep
and underlain by a porous limestone or
coral which affords good drainage and
probably insures safety ■, from the
danger of producing alkali.. Much of
it is already under cultivation. . "^..
The perennial flow of the streams of
this section is unusually abundant for a
land requiring irrigation. Moreover
the flood discharges of these streams
occur at frequent intervals during the
year, but are especially well distributed
throughout the summer."
- "Are there any opportunities for the
storage of water?"
"These frequent floods afford an
abundant surplus for storage and the
shapes of the smaller parting valleys
and of the lower canyons through
which the rivers emerge from the
mountains may be found opportunities
for the construction of storage reser
voirs at relatively small cost.
"The Spaniards, who in the past
have been the principal land-owners,
are thoroughly familiar with the re
quiremonts and processes of irrigation
as practiced in Spain. Quick to ap
preciate the advantages of the artificial
application of water, .they have already
constructed numerous ditches of mod
erate sizes, and much of the more val
uable sugar land is ctltivated exclus
ively by the aid of Irrigation.
"Such work as I noticed, " continued
Mr. Wilson, "corresponds in general
type to those seen in Mexico, but be
cause of the greater influence of Euro
pean ideas in this island, the con
struction is of a more substantial
character, and more nearly approaches
that prevalent In Spain and Italy. The
diversion works are in every instance
of the crudest kind, simple w\n.g dams
of rpek and. bgu}ders thrgwn put into
the bods pf the streams tp direct a por
tion of the waters intp the heads of the
ditches, These are necessarily carried
away by each flood, requiring to be
immediately replaced. On the other
hand, the headworks, falls, regulating
gates, and other dividers are construct
ed in the most substantial manner of
massive masonry.
"In strong contrast to this type pf
construction are th.q mfnar distribu
taries observed in some of the cane
fields. These were built by owners
who had great grinding and boiling
machinery for the treatment of their
cane, and- were imbued to a certain ex
tent with American methods. They
out- Americanized our Western irri
gators. Their distributaries consist
of a series of temporary trestles and
shallow wp,qden fpughs or gutters
made pf lumber brought frpm America.
These tap the hillside ditches at snch
points as seem desirable, and are rough
ly placed so as to oarry tbe water to
such portions of the field as Immedi
ately require It. After Irrigation in
such localities the trestles and troughs
are removed and utilized in irrigating
other portions of the same field. This
practice is resorted to in order to reach
the numerous little detached rolling
hills ten to twenty feet in maxfmum
height, into which' the surface of the
sugar lands is broken. The other | lo
calities, where practicable, these lands
are irrigated by direct diversion from
the main ditches of laterals dug in the
earth and ramifying to every portion
of the field to which gravity will con,
duot the water."
"What effect Vnlght Porto Rican
production or irrigation development
in the Island, Mr. Wilsqn, have upon
the American market?"
"Oh, none whatever. The island is
small and while methods will he im
proved, the total production cannot be
greatly Increased. The Increased
sugar production of the island would
would not be a spot even on the Louisi
ana crop, to say nothing of the im
mense consumption of this country.
Porto Rico's irrigation features are in
teresting, but they cannot in any way
affect th.c United States,
Guy E. Mitchell.
IRRIGATION SURVEYS.
A reliable and systematic survey of
the water resources of the arid region
which is subject to reclamation through
the preservation of the waters that
now run to waste, is highly imoprtant.
Congress should authorize and appro
priate liberally for the carrying for
ward of such work.
UNDER NATIONAL CONTROL.
In all the great irrigation systems of
ancient times, history records that a
central head made responsible to it
each individual irrigator or section,
and so the rules and laws under which
agriculture was performed were framed
in such manner as to insure the great
est good to the greatest number: thus
a marvelously perfect agricultural de
velopment arose under, such -systems,
and serious conflict of rights was un
known. >yt%
EASTERN CO-OPERATION.
The 'manufacturers of the country,
especially the East, now that their! at
tention has been called to the subject,
are becoming heartily in favor of the
plan of federal aid to irrigation, because
of the promise that \ the development
and population of these now arid lands
means the establishment of a great
home market for their . goods. : Their
friendliness and aid will be found not
inconsiderable.

HHBBBSBBEIhM Achilles was in-
wfilils_lf£3__' vulnerable in every
jSjjjflSfiggyS save *" s heel. The
B«SeBiBi> j myth runs that he
ipljpS^B^^^f was rendered invul-
iiiiiHrytJvJV nerable by being
'jiTg^VHiU/yyX dipped in the river
WTWi Sfi \\ heel by which he

_==£ 2^*^S_p* "V*» Everyone
r^§cZJsr" l *c=y?^ar -vT has some
"■^^a^SjC-r weak spot
. • in his pny-
sical organism, and that weak spot is the
invariable attacking point of disease.
No man is stronger than that weakest
spot in him. We see great robust look-
ing men go down like ninepins, at a
touch of disease, and wonder at it. It
is simply the wound in the weak spot,
the vulnerable heel of Achilles. ...
It is the office of Dr. Pierces Golden'
Medical Discovery to build up the weak
places, to strengthen the weak organs of
the body. It does this on Nature's own
plan of nourishment. Proper food prop-
erly assimilated makes a weak man
strong. But the man is only an aggre-
gation of parts, so that the strong man
means strength of all parts, heart, lungs,
liver, nerves, etc. " Golden Medical
Discovery " puts into Nature's hands the
material by which the stomach is
strengthened, ,the blood purified, the
nerves nourished, the lungs vitalized. It
makes the weak strong and the sick well.
It contains no alcohol or other intoxicant.
Mr. R. J. M cKnieht, of Cades, Williamsburg
Co., S. C, writes : "I had been troubled with
rheumatism for twelve years, so bad at times I
could not leare my bed. I was badly crippled.
Tried many doctors and two of them gave me
up to di?, None of them did me much good
The pains In my back, hips and legs (and at
times in my head), would nearly kill me. My
appetite was very bad. I took five bottles of the
'Golden Medical Discovery' and four vials of
1 Pellets," and to-day my health is good."
