COPP's LAND REVIEW.

Necessity for Extension of Surveys
 Increase of ClerlcaI Force in the
 General Land Office.
 A feature of Commissioner Stocksls- gers report whicq will De commended by the people of the land states in which public surveys are incomplete, is the re- commendstion for increased sppropris- tions for surveying pubic lands, and his remarks in this direction tending to prove that good work cannot be done for the prices-S7 to So per mile-now allowed for surveying.
 The act of March 5, 1887, directs that railroad grants shall be adjusted with cut delay, and mucL fault has been found with the land office for an sppBr- ent lack of energy Tn this direction. It seems that congress, m Its wisdom or lack thereof, or through cE.elessness of men having the mstter in charge, does net know that 1t is utterly impossible to adj lst the largest E. lts. Cor the reason that millions of acres of land lying with ir the granted and indemnity limits are unsurvey ed, and no appropriation has been made to meet the expense of toe ;urveys absolutely indispensable in the adj ustment of the grants. By reason of h5 allure 10 survey the land in these grants the companies are permitted to hold the lands, without taxation, and reap the benefits of the increase in value while the people along the lines are compelled to cAIiy the en- tire burden of the local governments. Fms IS outrageous discuminat on in favor of the corporations, discoursging to the would-be settler, and detrimental to the grow h of communities and i'm provemeat of the couIiry, practically defeating the objects for which the g.E 1ts were mad It IS to be hoped that the very seJsible suggestions of the Commissioner on the subject of surveys VII be seconded by the Secretary of the Interior and acted upon by Congress at the ne-t session.
 The adjournment of Congress- on Sat urday without having passed either ihe general lad bill or the bill forieitinR railroad grants fulfilis tre predictions made in the first of to $ seI-es o.kletters, to which reference has once or twice been made ace. l. is 10 ts hol d that tut utAN ECEE lNiA NA S1u AEEH VIII it more productive of results Ip this respect. The presidential election will then nave become & th 9g of the past, and legisls- ton for the Good of tbe country without regard to ehsot upon political orRe 1iza. lions or the pros cts or candidates for office, mny be enacted.
 The suggestion Ct the Commissioner that the for:e of his office should De in- crerssd suould be seconded heartily by all persons iteTe tied ID lf1d matters. The fact thst z3S, ,l56 finsl entries of various classes are pending befo- 8 the land off . and that win its present force the office can dispc of only gbont 72C00 cases per aEnum, IS sufficient 6r- sImeps to prove the nc 1 of increased ,orCa aud a stro eiio-E should be itFde by ihe people of ;he Land States aud Ten tories to impress upon the minds of their representatives in Con- gress the importance Oi their interests, and necessity fer more prompt Rdiudi- cation of land cases.

LOG CABIN SUCCESS.
What ails the young men?


 Robert Garrett's father left him for. tune of twenty millions. He WAS from childhood reared in luxury; he received a splendid education with an especial training into a thorough knowledge of railroad management and was expected to succeed his father as e railroad king.
 Within three years after the responsi- bilities which his fathers death threw upon him were assumed, he is reported a broken down man, with mind and health permanently shattered.
 George Law is another young man left with millions of money, who is reported among the "wrecks." His father, bred q stone mason, was of gigantic size and strength, with commensurate brain pow CT, so he became a great contractor, then a railroad king and left half a dozen millions for his son to dissipate. The young man is a success as dissipator.
 The founders of both of these great estates were born in the most humble walks of life, grew strong, mentally and physically. by simple living and honest labor and developed into financial giants. Their sons were reared in the lap of luxury and developed into intellectual pigmies.
 The ~reat men of our country have not. as q rule, come from the elegant mansions of the cities, but from the Log Cabins of the rural districts. Simple ways oi living, freedom from dissipation and enervating pleasures, simple remedies for disease, effective and which leave no poison in the system, develope brawny ,brainy men ,whO compel the world to recognize their strength and power.
 The wholesome, old-fashioned Log Cabin remedies are the safest and sur est for family use. Our grand-mothers knew how 10 prepare the teas and syrups of roots, herbs and balsams which drive disease out of the system by natural methods and leave no after i'll effects. The most potent of these old-time reme- dies were, after long and searching in- vestigation, secured by H. K. Warner d safe cure fame, and are now put out fs the healing of the nations in tho Warmers Log Cabin remedies.
 Regulate the regulator with Warnerf Log Cabin sarsaparilla and with puc blood giving health, strength, mental and bodily vigor, you may hope to cope successfully with the most gigantic tnsr cisl problems Oi the age, without wreck tng health and manhood.

DARK SIDE OF THE QUESTION.
Sufrerings of Wyoming Cattle in Winter
 How Many of Them Perish.

am about tired of reading the highly eolored and exaggerated descriptions of the delights of a cowboys life in the far west" combined with the glowing array of figures to prove that the cattle busi- ness is the business, particularly for Wyoming. The country is not what 1t was a few years ago, when cattle could find feed on every hillside, even If the snow was a few inches deep. The busi- ness has been boOmed until there are more cattle than feed, and still the stock papers keep up the cry that Wyoming is the place to invest in-
 The life of a COW in the west is one long continuation of hardships from the time the grass starts in the spring until the next spring. About six months in the year the cowboy keeps them constantly on the move, and the storms run them the rest of the time.
 When the storms are raging the worst .he cattle drift with them until they find some sheltering bank or clump of bushes that will shield them for a time. lt IS a common sight to see them struggling in she snowdrifts, and many of them never get out For days at a time they are com peIled 70 go without food or water. The snow covers up what little grass there is, and they have to exist on sage brush until She wind kindly carries 1t into the gulches or piles it up around the country. The stock papers contend that snow answers the same purpose as water, which is in correct, for I have frequently seen large droves wandering along frozen stream lowing and trying 10 get at the water.
 Some outfits this winter keep the ice broken in the stream, but this is the first winter in my experience that the practice has been observed Those cattle that do not get water are poor and weak, and a large percentage of them never get through a winter When the snow Is deepest the coyotes are happiest, as they can run around on the frozen surface, and when they find a COW fast in the drifts or too cold and numb to protect its calf, one or both become victims to their insa- tiable appetite The coyote is not the only animal the poor brutes have to fight; the wolf and mountain lion follow them around and devour a calf or yearlnG whenever they feel hungry.
 It is impossible to describe the suffer ings the cattle undergo during these fear fully cold and long winters. The only wonder is that 50 many survive.-Wyo- ming Cor Chicago News.
