Protest Against Land Bill.

|. Senate Joint Memorial No. 4, by
Senator Taylor. concerning the public
land laws, was unanimously adopted
by the Senate as follows:
To the Honorable Senate and House Of
Representatives of the United States
of America in Congress Assembled:
Your memorialist. the Fourteenth
General Assembly Of the state of Colo
rado, respectfully represent to your
honorable body that,
Whereas, there is now pending be-
fore the Congress of the United States
bill providing for the repeal Of all
existing desert land laws: and,
Whereas. 1t is confidently believed
that the campaign for such repeal is
being conducted largely In the inter-
ests Of the land grant railroads. for
the purpose of excluding from settle
ment all lands other than railroad
lands: and.
Whereas. the present desert land
laws facilitate the requirement Of
homes by certain of our citizens by
reclaiming and developing numerous
small intermountain valleys that can
not be reclaimed under any other law;
and.
Whereas. the federal land laws now
on our statute books have been OF
great benefit In the development of
this state. and have operated salts
factorily wherever their provisions
have been carried out in good faith:
and.
Whereas. we believe that any change
in the present desert land laws of the
United States would be detrimental IN
the great intermountain region, and
would especially retard the develop
ment of our state.
Therefore, we earnestly protest
against the passage OF said bill and
against any Interference at this time
with the desert land laws Of the United
States; and further we direct that a
certified copy Of this memorial be
forthwith sent to our senators and
representatives in Congress.

that was after you gave me the fish

she'd marry you, she said you We're
taller than CrestOn, and dear boy.
And one day found her crying, and
asked her If she was in love, and she
threw pillow at me. And then
asked If 1t was you, and she threw two
pillows. But when l said Creston, she
just kept still. and cried, so l knew.

'Do you think she'll take Creston"
asked Sheldon, without looking up.
"Oh, yes. asked her, and she
laughed and said II she didn't marry
him she'd accept the last one who pro-
posed. l wonder who that was. Wal
lace did last Sunday night but Nina
would rather try the lighthouse pier
herself than take Wallace"
Sheldon took one last look at the
white yacht bearing down upon them,
and suddenly devoted all his attention
to the fishpole. There were three i'm
paled beauties to his string when the
White Ladye slipped gently alongside
the pier, and when he caught the rope
that Creston threw, he was smiling al
most cheerfully, and Sally took heart.
Nina was cool and sweet in white duck
barred in blue. and she smiled elk
at him as he helped her to the pier.

Creston shook his head, and he rails

the LATEST OF NlNA'S LOVERS

7OU won't find her that way"

an GU won't find her that way"
W Sheldon stopped short on the
- path to the cottage, and looked
back. There was an old half-sunk
pier at Dexter's Landing. One side
slOped almost to the water, but the
other was high and safe on its pic
turesque piling. stained green by the
tapping river.
A figure in pink was perched at the
far end of the pier. Nina never wore
pink. She said it was ordinary. Nina $
gowns were all in pastel tints. Also,
the figure wore large sunbOnnet. Nina
said that sunbonnets were ordinary,
too, and topped her own pretty blonde
curls with an airy creation in chif-
fon ard tea roses.
Therefore, taking these points into
consideration. Sheldon waved his cap
in comrade fashion at the figure, and
started for the pier.
Don't whistle rag-time" said Sally,
severely, when he was beside her. 1T

mildly.

Sally watched him thoughtfully, as
he rebaited the hook and cast out with
a broad sweep.
"Fishing's awfully soothing, when you
are worried" she said after a time.

the water makes you SO sleepy and

I'm not worried, Sally"
Eyes. you are. OF course you don't
