The purpose of this proposed legislation Is
to prevent the further free in common of
the public domain in the arid grazing region
and thereby to prevent the destruction of the
forage by overstocking the same, by which
process the land is becoming desert, the country
more arid, and springs and Watercourses losing
their flow. Used free and in common, the West
ern range Is practically without law, and the
competitors for it's occupancy attempt to hold
n, arainst each other by violence and armed
force, causing the destruction of life and prop
erty This domain belongs to all of the people
but has been used by a few as a means OF
acquiring wealth, without compensation to the
rest of the owners. The availability of the re-
gion involved for agricultural settlement has
been injured by the Increase of its aridity that
has followed the extirpation of It's covering OF
tentiality as producer of wealth will disap-
pear unless it is protected by law and its users
are compelled to pay for and protect what they
The proper policy of this Government is the
encouragement of settlers to occupy all parts
of the public domain upon which families may
gain a living. To this end the proposed law
reserves all the rights of the homestead set
tier The Government encourages the, adven-
turous mineral prospector, and this law re-
serves all his rights to make mineral entry
in any part of the domain that it covers.
Besides these prospective entrymen there are
existing rights that must be protected.
The present agricultural settler, who tills
land raises crops and keeps domestic stock,
finds under the present system of free use of
the public domain that fiocks and herds are
driven upon his freehold. consume the forage

quently constrained to sacrifice his property and
seek another location, only to be again over
taken by the same intolerable conditions. The
proposed law gives him the preference of a
ieasehold on abutting public domain. which he
may protect from the trespasses which now
njure him.
The next preference is given to freeholders
whose pursuits pastoral to protect them
selves in like manner from nomads, and secure
the range needed for their stock.
Lands not taken by either of the foregoing
classes of freeholders shall be subject to lease
by stockgrowers who were in and occu-
pancy during the year ending January 1,
1901 each to have leasehold In proportion to
his interest, so that none, not even the least,
can be excluded.

TELLS OF DEATH
OF MISS Stone
Vail Of Salonica Confirms
Story Of Finding Her
Body.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VIENNA, Dec. 1.-The Constantinople
correspondent of the Neue Freie Presse
telegraphs that the bodies of Miss Stone
and Nine. Tsilka have been found near
Dubnitza, Bulgaria, twenty-five miles
from Sofia. An official report from the
Vail of Salonica confirms the statement
that the two women are dead. Their
deaths apparently occurred a month ago.
In commenting on the dispatch the Neue
Freie Presse says the report is possibly a
mistake.
SOFIA, Dec. I'M. MihaIowsky, presi-
dent Of the Macedonian committee, recent
ly made q speech at Varna in Bulgaria,
in which he denounced NJ. Saratoff, for
mer president of the committee, and the
Macedonians as agitators, murderers and
blackmailers. Among other crimes he ac-
cused them Of kidnapping Miss Ellen M.
Stone, the American missionary.
The Macedonians of Sofia held an indig-
nation meeting here to-day. Violent
speeches were made denouncing M. Miha-
lowsky and in which NJ Saratoff was
eulogized as the hero of Macedonian
youth. This incident is important as DEM
onstrating the schism in the Macedonian
camp.
Reports received here to-day from Dub
nitza announced increased vigilance on
the part of the authorities and the police
of that place.
Bulgarian official circles are evidently
much impressed by the menacing attitude
of the United States Government in the
Stone affair They declare, however that
they are unable to do any more in the
matter than they have done already
WASHINGTON, Dec. Naval officials

CANNOT HELP TO FIGHT
THE RAILWAY COMBINATION
Governor of Idaho Anxious to Help,
but Can Find No Law to Prevent
Con ation

BOISE, Idaho Dec. 1.-Governor Hun,
has replied to Governor Van SAINTS letter
asking Idaho to aid in fighting the North
ern railway consolidation
His letter in part is as follows:
I agree with your views to the danger of
this monstrous combination to the commercial
interests of all the territory through which
these lines may pass without competition, but
l regret to say, and L think that sentiment is
shared generally by the people of the State,
that Idaho has constitutional provision or
legislative statute that can be used to prevent
the consolidation of two or more corporations
of this kind But / am able to state that this
question will be the subject of action by our
next Legislature and that you have the moral
support and sympathy of the people of this
State. who will pray to God to strengthen your
hands and give you the courage and persever-
ance in your great fight in the cause of the
people. Very respectfully yours,
F. w. HUNT, Governor.

Accept no substitute for Golden Med

substitution is to enable. the dealer to
make the little more profit paid him by
the sale Of less meritorious preparations.
Sick people, especially those suffering
from diseases which have become
chronic, are invited to consult Doctor
Pierce, by letter, free. All correspond
ence is held as strictly private and
sacredly confidential Address DR.. R V.
Pierce, Buffalo, n. Y.
This invitation, to consult Dr. Pierce
by letter, free, is not to be confounded
with the spurious offers of free medical
advice made by those who having no
medical knowledge or experience, are not
qualified either professionally or legally
to give medical advice.
DR.. Pierce, chief consulting physician
to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute, Buffalo, n. V, assisted by his
medical staff Of nearly score of ply
sicians, has In little over thirty years,
treated and cured hundreds of thHdsands
of sick men and women.
The success of Dr. Pierce's methods
and medicines may be inferred from the
fact that of the hundreds of thousands
who have consulted him 90 per cent have
been perfectly and permanently cured
There is no similar offer of free con-
sultaton by letter which has behind it
an institution of such world wide reputa-
ton as the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Inststute, Buffalo, N. Y, with its staff of
nearly a score of physicians and its great
record of cures

the two houses has assembled and that
Congress is ready to receive any COM
munication he may have to make. Reso-
lutions to adopt temporarily the rules Of
the last House and to fix the daily hour
of meeting also will precede the event of
opening day, the annual seat drawing.
The Presidents message will be withheld
until Tuesday.
General Grosvenor of Ohio probably will
make the announcement to the House of
the death of the late President Mckinley,
and offer the resolutions upon which the
House will act.
On Tuesday that portion of the Presi-
dents message referring to the death of
Mckinley probably will be referred to a
select committee to arrange a programme
of eulogies. 1t is a remarkable coinci-
dence that Mckinley was the chairman
of the committee which arranged the
programme when President Garfield died.
Blaine pronounced the eulogy upon that
occasion. Elihu B. Washburn was chair
man when Lincoln died, and George Ban
croft, the historian, was the orator. After
Tuesday the House probably will ad-
journ three days at a time until Con-
gress recesses for the Christmas holidays.
Speaker Henderson will occupy this time
preparing his committee lists, which will
be announced as soon as the House con-
venes after the holidays. Practically no
business will be transacted before the
holidays

HARD WORK.
1t Tests the Quality of Both
Blood and Muscle.

There are grades even in hard work.
The actual labor may not be greater in
one case than In another, but the con-
di6Ous under which the work is done
intensify the strain upon the entire body.
To work IL the harvest field, under hot
sun, is, after all, healthful occupation.
To work IN a stoke hole, deep in the
bowels OF an ocean liner, or under
ground IN some basement, imposes far
more strain and produces greater exhaus-
ton than the hardest work in the field

SENATOR CLARK MAKES
NEW RAILROAD ALLIANCE
Joins Issues With Thomas F. Walsh
of Colorado to Build a Trans
continental Line.


DENVER, Dec. 1.-The Denver Post to-
day says: Senator William A. Clark of
Montana and Thomas F. Walsh of Colo
RADIO have, 1t is rumored, joined issues in
railroad construction and will build prac-
tically new transcontinental railroad.
The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific
is said to be in with Senator Clark and
Walsh.
The new transcontinental line would
give Senator Clark outlet for his Los
Angeles and Salt Lake road, which has
been left left without one through the abb
sorption of the two Colorado mountain
lines by George Gould. The Rock Island
would get new and short route to Cali
fornia.
Walsh some time ago incorporated a
railroad to be built from Ouray via Gun
nison to Pueblo. If his alliance with SEN
ator Clark is perfected he will build on
probably to Liberal, Kans., where he will
connect his road with the Rock Island
1t Is said that Senator Clark and Walsh
will meet this week in Washington and
there complete the deal whereby they will
become partners In railroad construction.

Colonial Sugars in Better Demand

PARIS, Dec. 1.-The internal revenue re-
port shows that the beet sugar produc-

is practically the same as for 1909, but the
deliveries for consumption have fallen off
from 60,000,000 kilograms to $4,000 900 lxilo-
grams. The customs returns indicate
that colonial sugars are largely repIac-
ing homegrown sugar. The outlook sfor
home growers and manufacturers Is not
as good as last year.

ADVERTISEMENTS.

The cures Of diseases caused by an
impure or poisoned condition of the
blood which have been accomplished
by the use of DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery, stamp it as one of the
most remarkable remedies of the age.
Its curative power is best judged from
the fact that in great many cases the
use OF "Golden Medical Discovery" was
not begun until years of misery had been
experienced, and all available medicines
had entirely failed to effect cure.
