OPPOSE NEW LAW.
Irrigation Bill Opens the Way for SPECTATORS
to Get In Their Work

In opposition to the amended irriga-
ton bill the National Homemaker has
the following to say
First. 1t leaves the land open to
speculative entry until the contract for
the construction of the works is actually
let, and long before then every acre of
the public land proposed to be irrigated
would be filed upon by scrip or desert
land entries.
Second. The limitation that no one
land owner should receive water-right
for more than 100 acres would be easily
evaded, and large areas of land in pri-
vate ownership would be furnished with
water without actual subdivision or set
| Element.
Third. The provision that state or
territorial laws shall govern and control
in the appropriation, use and distribu-
ton of the water, makes it impracticable
for any interstate project to be con-
structed or for the government to store
water in one state on any interstate
stream for use in another state, or to
protect either the right of the settler to
water or the right of the government to
a return of its investment.
The proposition that the government
shall construct irrigation works, from
which water may be supplied to lands in
private ownership, and look for reim-
| bursement from sales of water-rights on
long term installments to the owners of
such land without giving the govern
ment the right even to prescribe the
rules and regulations which shall govern
and control the use of the water from its
own reservoir or from it's own canal, is
an absurdity on its face.
The first objection above statedis, how
ever, the most serious and important.
The abuses which have been committed
under the land laws of the United States,
and under which great tracts of govern
ment land have been absorbed into pri-
vate ownership by fraud and perjury,
are disgrace to this nation, and an evil
which cries loudly for reform.

in the face with his revolver, and stole
$45 from his pockets, together with a
belt full of cartridges and a scabbard.
He then dragged the body of the sheriff
several feet over the ground toward the
barn and left it. He then rode away.
He was captured by posse several
weeks afterward at Billings, Mont. He
confessed and was sentenced to hang
last Friday. Everything was in readi-
ness to carry into execution the law,
but on Thursday the supreme court
granted stay of execution which would
have given him three months more of
life.
This act of the supreme court exas-
perated the people, who desired to have
the law enforced without delay. There
was no excuse for a stay of execution
except on the grounds of some techni-
cality. Now, who is to blame? When
the courts fail to execute justice the
people have the right to take the matter
in their own hands. 1t is no more a
violation of the moral law of society to
impose stern justice upon criminals than
it is for judges to stay such justice,
which is often outwited in the end. There
is too much delay in the courts of this
country, and the people are getting tired
of it. When juries fail to convict and
the courts dilly-dally along for months
with criminal and civil cases, a time Of
reckoning is inevitable. When man
commits murder and confesses to the
crime there is no excuse under the moral
or civil law why he should not be pun
ished inside of ten days thereafter; Oh
even five days would be too much.
A BELIEVER IN LAW.

THE DIFFERENCE.
Why the Walla Walla Land Can be Bought
Cheaper Than Yakima.

"Lying south of Wallula and extend
ing toward Milton under the Vansycle
hills is body of land comprising over
10000 acres" said Joseph Merchant to-
day. "The land is equally as good as
that selling in the Yakima country
under bitches for $35 to 800 per acre.
This land can be bought for less than
$40 per acre and cannot see why people
will flock to the Yakima country and
pay such prices for land when this land
in the Walla Walla valley equally as
good can be bought SO much cheaper. p
Walla Walla Statesman.
The reason why the land above
mentioned can be bought for $40 an acre
is because it is worth no more. 1t is
arid land and has no water on it
Thousands of acres of such land can be
had for less figures right here in Yakima
county. The land that costs the settler
from $35 to 500 is raw land with a
perpetual water right, which is not the
case with the Walla Walla land above
referred to. Improved land, that is land
that has had the sage brush cut, fenced

$50, $40 and 500, depending on the
quality.
Let the settler buy the Walla Walla
land at $40 per acre, how much would il
cost him to put water on it? And then
add the cost of preparing it for seed. II
would cost him not less than $25 pei
acre for water. 1t costs from So to IS to
prepare the land for seed. Land in
Yakima, under irrigation, produces more
to the acre by from one-third and one
half than that in any other district in
the state not irrigated. Hence the
difference in the price and value OF the
respective lands of Walla Walla and
Yakima county.

PRACTICALLY Starving.

"After using a few bottles of Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure my wife received perfect
and permanent relief from a severe and
chronic case of stomach trouble" says
J. R. Holly, real estate, insurance and
loan agent, of Macomb, Ill. Before
using Kodol Dyspepsia Cure she could
not eat an ordinary meal without in
tense suffering. She is now entirely
cured. Several physicians and many
remedies had failed to give relief" You

you want, but don't overload the
stomach. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will

A DANGEROUS PRACTICE.
Transfers and WheeImen Should Get Out Of
the Way Of Fire Team.

the Way OF Fire Team.
Fire Chief Hauser calls attention to
the practice of many people with teams
and bicycles getting in the way of the
fire engine team when it is making the
run to fire. 1t always happens that
when the alarm is sounded the teams of
many people block the thorougbfare to
the great disadvantage of the firemen.
Such work is dangerous. In case of fire
the fire team has right-of-way on the
streets, and all teamsters and drivers of
vehicles should pull to one side when
the "run" is being made.
There is another class Of obstruction
lists that should be more careful, and
this is the bicycler. During the run to
the last fire very young boy preceded
the fire team down the avenue on his
bicycle. The team was going at full
gallop. and the boy was only about 10
feet ahead of it. An accident to the
boys wheel, which is likely to occur at
any moment, would have resulted seri-
ously for the rider thereof This boy is
not the only one who has ridden before
the fire team OH such occasions. Older
people often do it. They should use
more judgment in matters of this kind,
and keep out of the way.
