Senator Thurs- on called the attention of tno Indian omco o tho omission, and they promptly stated that the Item lu tho boik of estimates for 1002. had been overlooked, and as lho sec retnry of tho Interior had recommended $8,000 In tho budget for 1001, corresponding sums fchould bo appropriated for the fiscal year 1902, for which congress U now ap propriating.

He moreover, personally assures me that he has not expressed himself cither way upon the subject. "I have consulted with Mr. Knight, secre tnry of tho National Dairy union, regnrdlng tho matter, nnd he Is ulso now of tho opin Ion that the friends of the measure wero premature In their conclusion of Senator Allen's hostility, and ho assures mo tint tho records show Senator Allen to have In slsted upon on early report ot tho bill."

Tho argu ment that tho house will bo unwieldy wlt.a 3Sfl members is wholly fallacious, as many of tho legislatures of New England have inoro members than tho present houso cf representatives, nnd they seem to get through their business without nny great difficulty."

In speaking of his visit Mr. Maxwell said: "Tho Commercial club of Oiunhn bis been one of tho greatest factors In tbo west in supporting tho great question nt irrigation with a view to an appropriation ot $100,000. The vote by the subcommittee of the sennto today having under consldcrr.- tlon tho Indian appropriation bill, through tho earnest work of Senator Thurston, look- lng to the construction of a dam ncrons tho Gila river near tho San Carlos Indian reservation in Arizona, running contours. and setting apart a part of tho public do main, Is to my mind tho backbone of our proposition.

The house con sidered the river and harbor appropriation bill today. General debate extended through out the day. Mr. mirton, who Is In charge of tho bill, made nn elaborate explanation of Its provisions. Several western mem bers nssnlfcd It for not containing pro visions for Irrigating reservoirs nnd Mr. Corliss of Michigan attacked It for not glv- ng proper recognition to the Great Lakes deep wntcrway project. lu reply to n question by Mr. Hcpuurn oi Iowa Mr. Hurton said the sundry civil bill would tarry about $3,000,000 on contracts tirevlouslv authorized. The total of direct appropriations for rivers nnd harbors for tho fiscal year would agnregate nhout 000,000. He devoted some time to giving tho commltteo's reasons for abolishing the Missouri river commission. Over $100,000,- 000 had been expended on the river, he said, with only trlvinl development of naviga tion. It had less commerce today than It hnd thirty years ago. Mr. Clark of Missouri asked If the com mittee would opposo nil amendment to allow tho riparian owners along the Missouri river to build dikes or wing dams. Mr. Hurton replied that for himself he would not oppoco such nn amendment. He thought private owners could best deter mino what should bo done. In order that tho Missouri should not be entirely neg lected, ho added, tho bill carried $300,000 for tint portion of the river below Sioux City nnd $30,000 for that portion above the city. Would the gentleman oppose an amend ment to confor upon the secretary of war nuthorlty to uso tho appropriation to con fine the Missouri river within Its present limits?" osked Mr. Hepburn. I should hesitate to nccept such nn nmendmint." replied Mr. Hurton. "I would regard that ns Imprncllcablo owing to the length of the river. The appropriation would bo entirely Inadequate to accomplish nnv KCiicral results." Mr. Wilson of Idaho iiBked why, ns mo committee proposed to repeal the project for a boat railway from the Dalles rapius to Celllo falls. Washington, It had not pro vided for tho alternative proposition ot tho engineers for a system of locks and dams? ilecauso a system nf locus and dams would cost $1,000,000," replied Mr. Hurton "We provide for an oxpcndlturo of nbout $2,000,000 at tho mouth of tho coiumoia in this bill. If tbo $1,000,000 wero ndded tho titlo of this bill would havo to bo changed to a bill 'for the development of tho Colum bin river.' " lice tnliuliiK A rlil I.hiiiIn. Mr. Mondell of Wyoming produced figures to show that If the money expended upon tho Missouri nnd Mississippi hnd been used to reclaim the arid lands of tho west It would havo been sufficient to build rom prehenslvo reservoirs at tho head of thoso streams which would havo prevented Hoods and Insured navigation throughout the year. From this ho argued that tho govern mcnt should Immediately enter upon tho reclaiming of nrld lands In the west. Mr. Hell of Colorado argued along tbo same lines and gave notlvc of an amend mcnt he should offer to appropriate $300,000 for reservoirs at the headwaters of the Platte nnd Arkansas rivers. Mr. Mcllao of Arkansas argued In favor of nn nmendmcnt appropriating $530,000 for Improving the Ouachita and Hlaek rivers, In Arknnsas and Loulslann. Mr. Corliss of Michigan assailed the bill He contended that with some exceptions It was not 'framed In the Interest of tho general commerce of tho country. Ho cited tho appropriation for tho Hrle busln, llrooklyii, an an Illustration of what he termed a purely local Improvement pro vided for, nnd declared that tho appropria tion for Buttermilk channel, New York, was for the benefit of property holders nlong the Hrooklyn water front. Ho urged that tmmenso sums of money could be saved In Improvements on tho Great Lakes a ml tho navlgnblo depths of tho lakes could bo Increased by raising the level of tho lakes by n system of dams. Tho dams, ho sold, would raise tho depth of the lakes at low water two feet. Mr. Ulshop of Michigan replied to Mr. Corliss, denying that the committee had shown favoritism to particular localities and defied Mr. Corliss to particularize. "It Is easy enough for a member to get up here nnd scold," said he, "If ho has been disappointed in getting something ho wants." H. C. Smith of Michigan remarked sar castically upon the lack of harmony In tho Michigan delegation. Mr. Ncwiands of Novnda spoko In favor of a provision In tlto bill for resorvolrs at the headwaters of rivers from which nrld land could bo Irrigated, llo Insisted that It was the duty of the government to promote lho use ot water for Irrigation as much as for navigation. l'K.VSIONS I'OH WKSTUUV VIVI KU VS.

Dyspepsia Cure It is oftcti urg-ucd that when the stomach is unable to digest the regular amount of food, less should be eaten; but such a plan can not remedy the cause of indigestion a weak stomach. Of course, the less food eaten, the less work will there be for the stomach to do. But at the same time there will be less nourishment furnished, and that means general weakening of all the organs of the body for we can't maintain strength on half rations. If we are to cure dyspepsia, we must do it in sonic other way besides depriving the body of its required amount of nourishment. The only other way is to cat plenty of good food and digest it by using a preparation that will perform that work for the stomach. Kouol Dyspicpsia Cuius is such a preparation. It digests what you cat and hupplics the substances needed to build up the worn out digestive organs. It is an absolute cure for indigestion and all stomach troubles. Sir.
