ELLIOTT'S DEATH AND THE

Editor Press: My attention has

This refers to the death of Comrade
Martin v. Elliott and is misleading
Some one is evidently sore at Reno
post Of the Grand Army and has
taken his grievance to your reporter.
Brother Elliott was not neglected by
members of Reno post. He was not
destitute and did not require any as
sistance from US, which would have
been cheerfully accorded had he so
requested, He had good home and
loving hands to comfort him in his
last moments. Grand Army members
turned out and attended his funeral.
AS for the charge against DR.. B. r.
Freeman, the post surgeon. that he
neglected to respond to the call of
Brother Elliott, 1t is hardly necessary
to say anything in the doctors de-
| Tense. He was engaged on a case that
he could not leave at the time. DR.
Freeman has always responded in

has nothing but the highest regard
for him.

mothers and sisters of the travelling
public, re-echoed by their children.
Intoxicants are all right, when
handled by level-headed people. but
as there is scarcely one man in a
thousand who can control himself. it
is a wise head that bars 1t altogether.
Millions of lives have been ruined by
liquor. Helpless children have been
robbed of a home, thrown upon the
charity of strangers. Families have
been murdered by a father driven
crazy from drink. Trains, with their
loads of helpless passengers, have
been plunged into eternity by the
daredevil hand of an engineer. made
reckless by just one drink. There are
few mistakes made when the brain
is clear and the system in good condi-
ton, and there is but one way to at
tain this standard: Leave intoxicants
alone. A moral, upright life can not
fail to be happy one.

MORE OREGON LAND FRAUDS

Newell of the Geological Survey,

of a new and successful confidence

Speaking of his discovery. Mr.. New

Citations for a consideration ranging
from $50 to 500 are advertising. by
circulars and otherwise, to- direct
homeseekers to vacant public land,
which they allege is to be reclaimed
by the national government. These
associations make the showing that
they are formed to represent home
seekers, and propose to give them in
side information. They have no in
side information. They do not know
what lands the government intends
TO irrigate, for no one knows, not
even the department. They are simply
defrauding the people.
They are sending people onto
lands that VIII never be irrigated,
either by the government or private
enterprise, and | know of instances
where these associations have sent
people onto lands on hillsides, which
could not possibly be irrigated.
Il want to stamp those associations
as frauds and to warn all homeseekers
to avoid them. One of these cOmpa-
MES has headquarters at Omaha and
another at Pendleton, Ore, but their
operations extend over the entire arid
west, and they are pretending TO give
inside information concerning arid
lands in every state entitled TO bene-
fits under the general reclamation

a substitute for Whiskey caused the
death of Alex Tens, butcher Of the

he was unable to get anything to

for intOXicants, he tried the wood al

OF cleaning chickens and other fowl
1t appears that Tens did not resort
to the use Of the deadly liquid until
the night before reaching WrangeI.
How much he drank is not known. He
lived less than a day. Two hours be
fore he died, he became blind. He
ascribed this affection to the drink
and soon after died in great agony.
