Carson valley Cattle Thieves.

The Carson News tells OF an organ
lied band OF cattle thieves in Carson
Valley which has preyed systematic
ally upon the stock of the cattlemen
in that section. The headquarters OF
the gang is supposed to be business
house in the valley whose legitimate
trade would not appear to warrant it's
existence. The ring leader is supposed
TO have been George Turner, an ex-
convict, who has lately departed for
parts unknown when he found that
the officers of Douglas county were on
his track. Another Of the gang has
been identified. however, and it is
believed that he will tell the whole
story, and that through his revelations
his coniederates will be brought to
Justice.

Politicians are now planning for the
Presidential campaign of 1900. but the
war has so overshadowed all other
matters that politics is almost un-
noticed. Many people are of the
opinion that the candidates will be the
same as in 1896, but there may be a
clark horse" Who will win the race.
Popularity has much to do with candi-
dates. This is also true of medicine.
The most popular remedy to-day is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, and it
has retained this for many years.
Science never discovered the equal of
this medicine for stomach. liver and
kidney diseases. 1t builds up solid
flesh tissue, imparts vigor and vitality
to all organs, and makes life worth
living. A bottle will make a big
change for the better. Try it.

THE GRAZING LANDS.

The proposition to allow the Western
States and Territories the control Of
the public lands situated within their
borders, with the privilege Of leasing
them to stockmen and expending the
revenue derived for State improve
ments, is not new one. 1t is, how
ever, equitable, and would vastly
benefit the States availing themselves
Of the privilege, and it finds very gen.
eral favor among men who have given
the conditions in the West any serious
thought.
"The policy Of leasing the grazing
lands OF the West by the States" Sec
retary Wilson of the Department OF
Agriculture said, "cannot but operate
very beneficialiy to those States, and
would eliminate much of the trouble
which the West is now having over
the range question. Let the title to
the land remain in the Federal Gov
ernment by all means, but give the
States the use OF the lands-i. e., the
money which would be derived from
their rental. Most OF the Western
States have comparatively small set
tied areas. and these must bear the
burden OF caring for the remainder of
the State, which is Government prop
erty. IL would be a very dangerous
move to give the land itself to the
States, because before long there
would then be neither State nor Gov
ernment land; but if It is simply a
question Of the State disposing Of the
annual income from rentals. proper
system OF expenditure would soon be-
come established. This would prac-
tically dispose Of the range question,
as leases could be made for terms of
years, and there would be then no
conflict Of right"

SUCCESSFUL COLONIZATION.

Three wears ago the Mormon church
purchased three ranches in White
River Valley and one ranch in Steptoe
Valley, near Ely, comprising in all
about 1000 acres OF land capable of
being irrigated, besides several thous-
ands of acres Of grazing land. When
these ranches were purchased they
supported perhaps dozen white peo-
pie and as many Indians, except in
having time, when the number was
somewhat greater. At the present
time there are three towns well
started on these ranches with total
population OF about 1926 souls, divided
as follows: Lund, $50; Preston, 70
and Georgetown 100. These people
are all from Utah, where few OF them
yet remain to close up their affairs be-
fore moving to their new homes.
In our visit last week to White
River where the two former towns are
located, we could not help but notice
the Transformation which is being
effected. Though most of the people
did not arrive till this Spring, about
fifteen substantial and comfortable
houses have already been built at
Lund and half as many at Preston,
while the material is on the ground
for several more. The first hay crop
is already up and good-sized stack
stands near each house. Each settler
has a good garden, in which is to be
found nearly every variety OF vegetable
known to this climate. Shade and
fruit trees are being set out, and il will
be matter Of only a short time when
these towns will be the most attractive
in the county. At Lund brick kiln
will soon be started to burn $4,000
brick for large building TO serve as a
church, school and public hall, while
at Preston foundations have been laid
for -four mill.
At Georgetown conditions are SINH
lar to those at Lund and Preston, and
it likewise promises to become pros
porous community. While the season
is little more backward, its nearness
TO Ely-only two miles-affords its
people better market and better

those OF its sister towns in White
River.
The farms these settlers have taken
up average from twenty-five to forty
acres, With water rights. The land il
sold to them at low price, and they
have five years in which to pay for it.
About 2,l00 acres have been con-
tracted for thus far, about half Of the
total which can be irrigated. The
land is well watered by never-failing
springs, whose flow does not vary
Summer or Winter. There is a good
local market here for grain, beef. pork,
poultry, eggs, vegetables and butter,
and We can see no reason why these
new neighbors should not become
prosperous and contented. valuable

precocious in her nature. The parents
We're very proud of her n taught her
easy verses and stories which she woul
repeat at the request of her mothers
friends, who wondered at her b~rilliancy.
AT last the mother thought if she could
teach her to repeat 'Curfew Shall Not
Ring Tonight with accuracy and proper
expression. she would accomplish a Won
derful feat and her little three-year-old
tot would be the admiration of the entire
city. SO she set about to accomplish the
task, and spent many long and weary
days before the little one could repeat the
poem-a task which is difficult for one of
mature years. and much training as an
elocutionist. Finally her dream was
realized. Her baby. in her childish talk
and simplicity. could repeat the poem
word for word, and with her dimpled
hands she would emphasize the strongest
passages with the proper gesture.
One night they rave a party and in
vited their friends. During the evening
the guests, knowing the remarkable abil-
ity of the child, asked her to speak for
them. The mother, anxious to astonish
her guests with her baby's wonderful
memory. asked her to speak 'Curfew Shall
Ring Tonight
The child was tired and sleepy, but
she needed her mothers request. She be-
gan the difficult task. II when about
halfway through she forgot. Her mother
helped her out by prompting, and she con-
unued. Finally she hesitated again and
said:

AT last, tired and sleepy she sank down
on the floor II soon fell asleep. The
mother carried her to her bed and snugly
tucked the covers about her. But the
