GARRETT'S PLAN Is GOOD
Mr. Finley says 1t rs the Best SUs-
cestion so Far sIade

Topeka, Kans., Feb. 5.-1 want to en-
dorse Mr.. CARROTS plan for the opening
Of the Kiowa and Comancne country as
it appeared in last Wednesdays Eagle =
with many other readers OF your paper
have been deeply interested in the DIFF
ferent methods proposed and discussed
for the opening OF this new land to set
tlement. All Of these methods have been
carefully read, and speaking from ex-
perience gained in three different open
ings or runs" Mr. CARROTS plan is
the only one 50 far proposed that is prac-
ticable and that covers the entire ground
And this plan, # proper measures are
taken TO prevent double registration,
should be endorsed by all legitimate
homeseekers
The evils resulting from a free-for-aIl
race have been too often enumerated for
mentio nhere, but there is one danger
that has been overlooked. That IS the
danger Of premature start at some
point of the line and a resulting injustice
to thousands It is a notorious fact that
at the opening of the Cherokee Strip the
main body of the settlers on the line just
north of Hennessey, started before the
hour set by law. Not only were the SOL
diers powerless to stop the stampede. but
it was all they could do by hard riding
to get safely out Of the way. Nothing
was said about this incident for the
simple reason that there were so many
concerned and al were in the same boat
But that this is a fact can be vouched
by hundreds who were on the Rock Is
land train in the vicinity and who saw
the stra gglers IN the race disappear over
the hill by Buffalo Springs before the
signal was given for the train to start.
This early start was not without its
element Of justice, however, as it wrought
havoc among the "sooners'' in the neigh
borhood. It is related of one old repro
bate who had lain concealed for weeks
preceding the opening, that at the ap-
pointed hour he crawled from his hiding
place, only to find the valley teeming
with jolting wagons and galloplng horse
men, He was too late: and he skunk
away cursing the country where, as ne
put 1t. there was no chance for an
honest sooner" And he was not alone
But while in a fe wscattered instances
liks this the "sooner" might get his de-
serts, the injustice done by such start
is too obvious for commit. Now unless
some satisfactory plan. such as Mr.. Car
retts or F. II. Lamart, which is the same
in substance, is agreed upon and endorsed
by those interested, the Kiowa and CO.
manche country Will be opened by race
as before And If a race. there is no doubt
that hundreds of the same men who
started from the line north Of Hennessey
viii be in evidence. And having learned
how easy it is to stampede a crowd when
worked up to a nervous tension of expec-
fancy, what is more probable than that
such a tactics will be resorted to; es-
pecially when it is considered that the
self-interest Of all concerned will prove
safeguard against prosecution.
Respectfully,

Makes Hair
Grow

Perhaps your mother had
thin hair, but that is no reason
why you must 60 through life
with half-starved hair. IF you
want long, thick hair, feed it.
Feed it with Ayers Hair Vigor,
the only genuine hair food yoa
can buy.
Your hair will grow thick
and long, and will be soft and
glossy.
Ayers Hair vigor always
restores color to gray hair; it
keeps the scalp clean and
healthy, and stops falling of
the hair.
