WORK ON THE PUBLIC DOMAIN
The Need of a National Irrigation Com
mission in the Future.

MISSION IN Cne utuTcs
Washington, Oct. 81 w. La
moreaux, commissioner Of the general
land Office, has made his annual report
to the secretary of the interior. Com
pared with 1894 there has been de-
crease in land entries of 1905 and Of
6,016,68 acres entered upon; decrease
of final entries to the number of 6, 584
and 356, ,O59 acres entered upon, and a
decrease of cash receipts Of $734, $40.
Discussing the act of the last con-
gress granting land to states for irriga-
ton purposes, Commissioner Lamor-
eaux says he believes thaJehe necessity
will arise in the near future for the
creation of a national commission
whose function it shall be to regulate
the distribution of these waters which
have their source in a superadjacent
state and which have heretofore been
used in common by the people of that
and the subadjacent states.
The commissioner closes his report
with the following recommendations
A law to compel the attendance of
witnesses at land offices in contest
cases; an appropriation of $4,000 an
nually for making examinations neces-
sary for the establishment of forest
reservations and for the protection of"
reservations already existing; an ap-
preparation for six attorneys to super
wise and direct the proceedings of spe-
cial agents operating in as many differ
ent districts to be designated; legisla-
tion for the protection and disposal of
public timber; placing the surveying
of public lands under the geological
survey; legislation creating the Office
of surveyoH-general of Alaska; an ap-
preparation for eighty copyists to tran
scribe the press-copy records of the
land Office into permanent records; the
establishment of district land Office for
Alaska, with register and receiver,
having the same duties as like officers
in the other states and territories; that
the appropriations fer survey be made
continuous, and legislation for the ap-
pointment of a board of examiners
of surveyors instead of having exami-
nations under the present system.
The report shows that there were
miles of standard and base
lines surveyed in California during the
year, 354 township lines, 1885 section
and connecting lines and 473 grant and
lines. During the year the
Central Pacific Railway Company de-
posted $7,512 for field work and $2,-
498 for office work on lands selected
and patented under their land grants.
The work in arrears will take from six
to nine months to complete, and the
surveyor general of California wants a
skilled craftsman for the
work. As yet no action has been taken
by the department of justice respecting
the Benson claims and the commission
er has therefore nothing new to report
on the subject.

IN IRELAND'S CAUSE
Address Issued to Friends of
Irish independence.
SENT OUT BY THE NEW ALLIANCE
Rule by Means Consistent With
the Law of Nations.

New York, Oct. S.-The national
officers and executive committee of the
Irish National Alliance issued the fol.
friends of Irish Independence:
"The convention which recently or.
ganized at Chicago the Irish National
Alliance has placed its guidance and
government in the hands of the under
! signed for the ensuing two years. The
purpose of the alliance has already been
proclaimed. 1t is to obtain the COM
plete independence of Ireland from Eng
land by any means consistent with the
laws of nations. Organizations, like
governments, have to depend upon
their revenue for the accomplishment
of their objects. The ''sinews of war"
are absolutely necessary both for or
ganization and propagation.
England, the enemy of Ireland, has
at her disposal immense resources, the
accumulation of centuries of conquest
and prey. She has it in her power to
control or mold public opinion in her
own interest Even in free America
she possesses this power to an astonish-
ing extent. Her side of the Irish ques-
tion has filled the American mind for
a quarter of century-ever since Ire
lands friends at home and abroad COM
mitted the costly fault of trusting to
parliamentary agitation to achieve the
liberty of their motherland.
'tNow, however, totally different
policy has been inagurated. The abb
solute claim of Ireland to a distinct
national life has been placed before
the world by the unanimous voice of
the recent Irish national congress, held
in Chicago. Proyincialism has been
cast aside and the national demand of
Ireland, which slumbered, but did not
die, is again in the ascendant. We
are determined that it shall so remain,
and that no effort of ours, no sacrifice
on our part will be left unturned Or
unperformed until victory crowns our
sacred cause. We appeal, therefore,
of Ireland to aid us in the work by
placing at our disposal the means re-
quired for it's accomplishments. You
are asked to subscribe in accordance
with your means, and to forward your
subscriptions as soon as possible to the
secretary of the Irish National Al
lance, the Hon. P. V. Fitzgerald -Fitz-
patrick, IA Twenty second street, Chi
cago. God save America and Ireland.
The signers are: William Lyman,
president I. N. A J. J. Donovan,

see; J. ]. Sheedy, California; T. J.
London, Ohio; J. Lawler, Texas; Chris

Plans of organization are being pre-
pared, and will be issued in a few
days.

British Encroachments in Venezuela.
London, Oct. 9.-The Venezuelan
consul at Cardiff has written a letter
to the press giving the history of the
boundary dispute between Venezuela
and Great Britain. He says Vene-
zuela has repeatedly proposed to settle
the matter by reference to arbitration,
but that the Marquis of Salisbury, Earl
Granville and Lord Roseberry have
persistently declined to do so. Since
then, he adds, Venezuela has made
efforts toward arbitration, but he
claims the British encroachments have
steadily continued until they now ex-
tend far beyond the Schomberg line
into the territory of Turari.

burn like fire and itch; well, there is no name
for it. On the inside of the upper part of
both my limbs, great red blotches not unlike
hives would appear, and as soon as became
warm, the burning and itching would begin.

Peru Does Not Keep Faith.

Lima, Peru, via Galveston, Oct. o.
The controversy between Peru and Bo-
as ever. The truth regarding the
muddle is that the Peruvian govern
ment ignores what the representatives
of it's predecessors may have said to
Bolivia, and its only instructions to
the minister to Bolivia are to declare
that Peru will never cede Tacua and
Arcia for pecuniary consideration OF
otherwise. Tacua and Arcia are the
cities in the southern part Of Peru, on
the Paicfic coast, which formed the old
bone of contention between Bolivia
and Peru.

The Spanish Threaten Us.

Chicago, Oct. "a special from
Tampa, Fla, says: 1.-TWO things are
CERTAIN" says a New Yorker on his
way home from prolonged stay in
Cuba, looking after extensive interests
in the interior. Zone is that we are
going to have trouble with Spain about
complications arising from the Cuban
question; the other, that Cuba will be
free whether the United States recog-
nizes her or not.''
This gentleman could not allow his
name to be used, because his property
in Cuba would be coniscated and he
would be thrown into prison were he
to return there.
81 heard high official in Havana
say" he continued, eff the Americans
do not mind, we will parade the Span
ish troops in Central Park, New York,
before we are through / heard it
said in well known cafe in Havana
that after the rebellion is suppressed
the United States will be attended to,
and it was hoped Cleveland could be
caught and hanged. It is openly de-
clared in the cafes that if Uncle Sam
recognizes Cuba, Americans must get
out Of the island. By Christmas there
will be 180,OO0 soldiers in the island
of Cuba. Why should Spain mobilize
SO many troops if they are not needed
to suppress the revolution?
"The Cuban patriots are sadly in
need Of arms and ammunition. One
day band of fifty passed my planta-
tion with only ten guns, and they were
the cheapest kind of guns. The rest
of the party were armed with ak
handles. They load their guns with
bits of barbed wire taken from fences
and with nails.''

Work is now being done on the
200 foot level of the Oest mine, in
Silver City. This is the first work
that has been done at this depth in
the mine for some years, owing to
the large quantity Of water that was
encountered before the combination
tunnel drained the ground. Good
ore was followed down to the water
level in the Oest some years ago;
and now the ground is drained the
owners can work the mine to fur
ther depth of a hundred feet or more.

Last Saturday William Watson,
of Silver City, was caved on while
working in the Oest mine, and
quite badly bruised. He had gone
to work only that morning, and
was engaged in cleaning out an old
drift on the 200-foot level of the
Oest. No work had been done here
for some years, and the ground was
loose. Az soon as the accident oc-
Cured his partners heard it, and
went to his rescue. Several tons of
dirt had fallen. After Watson was
taken out of the mine and to his
home doctor was summoned and
it was discovered that no bones
were broken, although it is feared
that he is seriously injured inter-
nally, as he spits blood. He is an
old gentleman-about 70-and his
injuries may yet prove fatal. He
has wife but no family.

Make reat endings sometimes. Ailments that
we are apt to consider trivial often grow,
through neglect, into atrociOus maladies, dan
gerous in themselves and productive of others.
1t Is the disregard of the earlier indi, atoms OF
i'll health which leads to the establishment OF
all sorts of maladies on a chronic basis. More
over there are certain disorders incident to
the sea ,on. such as malaria and rheumatism.
against which 1t Is always desirable to fOrtify
the system after exposure to the conditi' Ms
which produce them. Cold. damp and miasma
are surely counteracted by Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. After you have incurred risk from
these influences. q wineglassful or two of Hos
letters Stomach Bitters directly afterward
should be swallowed For malaria. dyspepsia,
liver complaint. kidey and bladder trouble,
nervousness and debility. 1t is the most deserv.
eddy popular of remedies and preventives. A

Sad water.

For the past two weeks the water
in the Carson river has fallen quite
rapidly, and it is now at such q
low stage that the Eureka mill
the only one running in the county
is expected to shut down any
day. Since the water has been SO
low it has also been very filthy. 1t
is thick with some sediment that
makes it look almost as white as
milk, and it never seems to settle,
even when drawn off through pipes
into barrels and allowed tp stand.
This substance in the water proba-
bly, comes from the Eureka mill,
but whatever it is, and wherever it
comes from, it certainly makes the
water unfit for drinking or irriga.
ting purposes.
