Fierce DuelS
Between Animals

James Rock, who has made some eX-
plorations in the mountain country of
Colorado, tells a story of a grizzly
bears duel with peccaries, or wild
hogs.
He was on a hillside looking for deer
when an ominous, grunting sound stop
ped him in his tracks. Two hundred
feet below him on ledge of rock were
a giant grizzly and her cub, and as he
looked a drove Of peccaries came
around a bowlder a few yards away.
The cub foolishly struck one of the
leaders. Instantly they charged

DR.. Chas. H. Utter, a prominent ply
stefan of Panama, Columbia, in a recent
letter states: Last March I had as a
patient a young lady sixteen years of
age, who had a very bad attack of dys-
entery. Everything I prescribed for her
proved ineffectuals and she was growing
worse every hour. Her parents were
sure she would die. She had become so
weak that she could not turn over in
bed. What to do at this critical mo-
ment was a study for me. but 1 thought
of Chamberlain's Colo. Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy, and as a last resort
prescribed it. The most wonderful re-
suit was effected. Within eight hours
she was feeling much better; inside Of
three days she was upon her feet, and al
the end of one week was entirely well"

FAST DRIVING.
Causes a smash Up on First Avenue
West.

Three men in three single buggies
drove west on First venue Friday
night at a break-neck speed. At the
intersection of @ street n of them
crashed into another buggy occupied
by two ladies. The c~olliding vehicles
badly damaged, but by the
merest change no one was hurt.
The ordinance against racing and
fast driving in town does not seem to
be very effective as they are practiced
every night. A few of these violators
should be jerked up, and heavily
fined or given a jail sentence. Too
many lives are being endangered
every night by fool hardy drivers.

rltory which was at the time devoted to
sheep raising. The assessed value OF
the land was equal TO 81 500, 000 which
was Just $500 900 more than the owner
thought II ought to be taxed He OBJ
5ected and the government thereupon
took possession Of the land upon his
valuation, with 10 per cent added The
land officials resurVeyed the estate and
divided II up into farms of from fifty TO
100 acres each and OF pastoral ranches
OF from 500 10 5000 acres They laid
out town site and three village sites
and then built railroad through the
estate Altogether they spent about
100000 In opening il up and then Of
fered the lands to the people They
were rapidly taken up upon the usual
government terms, and at the end Of
six years the government was receive
ing 5ia per cent on Its expenditures.
Instead Of big sheep ranch the estate
was made w Of small farms, Land
used for grazing was yielding fOrty-iiye
bushels OF wheat 20 the acre and there
were II 900 acres OF II In English grass.
Aside from the agricultural develop

PUBLIC LANDS A PUBLIC TRUST
In chat with Mr.. Edward Tregear
asked him how he could reconcile the
action OF the government In forcing the
estate owners to give up their lands
with the rights of property lie re-
piled:
eve DO not look upon land as upon
other property. Land should belong to
the state. II Is given TO II by the Lord.
TO be held In trust for the neople. 1t Is
all right for a man to own the improve
ments he makes upon the land and to
be allowed 10 sell them or to leave them
TO his descendants; but as 70 the land
itself I don't think God ever Intended
any one man to allow him 10 say this
land shall be the property OF his child

In honors and presents. Suppose It
gave him a million dollars as a reward
for his services. That would be all
right, but II would not be right for II TO
grant him and his descendants 100000
acres OF land This would be equal TO a
pension Of 100000 a year to his des-
cendants for all time To- come. IL would
be mortgaging the property OF future

A LAND OF SMALL FARMS.
I think Mr.. Tregear Is right New
Zealand viii eventually become a land
Of small farms, although It may take
years to make Il So BY the present
laws no man who has more than GAO
acres Of land can obtain any Of the
public lands The land officials viii not
grant more than this amount and they
viii not give an applicant more than
they think he can develop and care for,
AS II Is, there are far more applicants
for the lands offered than there are
lands to give them, The government
land agents examine all the applicants,
and those who pass their examinations
are allowed 10 ballot for the lands dis
trIbuted. The government, I'm fact, d.
vides the land more as a father among
his children than as a land SPECTATOR
In addition TO the methods Of division
I have mentioned there are Others which
permit number Of small farmers TO
get lands In q block each taking some
thing like 200 acres, under what Is
called the village settlement system.
There is another by which the govern
ment uses the unemployed to clear its
forest lands and SOW them in grass.
After this they are divided up into
small farms and are allotted to set
tiers at perpetual rental large enough
10 cover all the cost Of clearing, and at
the same time give a fair interest on
the value Of the land. Up to March 81,
1899 forty-fve such settlements. In
Guiding an area of Is 600 acres, had been
laid out Upon them about 1000 people
were living, and they had added I'M
provements to the land amounting to
$500 900. The size OF such holdings Is
about 100 acres each.
