COMMUNICATION.

EDITOR TRIBUNE: l wish to say a
few words concerning those who, hav-
ing made homestead applications to
lands they never saw or ever intend
to, but to squeeze sum of money out
of the settlers on the so-called rail-
road indemnity land, who having
in good faith settled and improved
their intended homes with valuable
improvements, and who having been
aroused by a land Office ruling that
the first applicant has the first right.
To that I admit the first qualified
entryman has the right. But who is
he or she? Is it the person in pos
session of the land with family con-
tinuousIy improving same all in good
faith? Is he or sne the qualified en-
tryman, or is it the person who sim
ply. makes application. never gets
where the land is, makes no effort in
taking possession, informs his agent
or attorney 81 will sell my right, get,
all you can and I will relinquish.'
Shame on bad conduct! You, the
bonafide settlers, stay and remain,
appeal in time and all the DIS this
side of HI will never move you off.
The speculator did apply to the land
in question, hut from his own acts
and speculation only to make few
dollars out of the hard workingmen's
labor.
Remember, settlers, I am on the
road but intend to return in three or
four days. Do you know what our
first move is, to change part of the
land laws, and that is, when it is
shown and proven that these first sp-
plicants made their applications long
before the government had control of
said lands. Such entry should be
cancelled and the first settler, he or
she, with continuous settlement, is by
law considered the only qualified en-
tryman.. Get your petitions, and our
congressman, Hon. K. Nelson, Eddy
and G. X. Davis, will. at once take the
necessary steps in securing said
amendments.
Respectfully,
X. J. HUsEvoLD.

A hVGlENiC FtOME.
Ny vito and / are trying hard

My vito and are trying hard
To live on healthful diet.
We read the food chart by the yaE8
And run our kitchen by 1t.
We've banished from our bills Of fare
All that such guides condemn.
True hygiene is all our care
AS planned and taught by them.
For breakfast coffee is, tabooed,
Hot cakes and eggs forbidden
And milk, since 1t Is oft imbued
With germs profuse, though hidden
Bread Is unwholesome; 50 is steak.
Submissive to our lot,
Oatmeal and graham gems we take,
And drink boiled water hot.
For dinner soup will never do
And oysters typhoid nourish.
Salads, entrees and ices, too,
Are mere dyspeptic flourish.
Potatoes (by the last advice)
Are poisonous, we're told.
We eat rare meat, chopped fine, with FtC0
And drink boiled water cold
For supper-some professors teach
TITS best to go without it,
But since d1scret1on's left to each
We take our choice about it.
On chicken, waf8es, tea and cake
We are forbid to feed.
But gluten waters, cocoa (weak)
And prunes are all we need.
It grieVes US much our friends to view
So reckless In their diet.
Our wholesome menu we pursue
And beg of them to try It.
But appetite's ungodly sway
Their nature so enthralls,
We cannot get guest to stay
/ Within our healthful wallsI
