cATTLEMAN DEAD.

A special dispatch the
sudden death of George B. Loving at
Fort Worth on Thursday. The dis
patch says that Mr.. Loving dropped
dead on the street. He was one of
the best known cattlemen in Texas.
For a number Of years he was editor
and proprietor of the Stock and Farm
Journal, selling the paper to give his
time to the formation of a big cattle
trust with the KIT holdings as a bas-
is. Since that time Mr.. Loving has
been engaged in doing a sort of a
brokerage business in cattle and
ranches. He was popular with all the
stOckmen and well known all over the
country. He vas no relation to old

w. F. Cody, better known as "Buf-

ing telegram K President Roosevelt
which to a certain extent has appli-
cation to New Mexico, and agrees
with opinions expressed by Hon. 1.
B. Hanna. superintendent of forest
for New Mexico and Ari-
IONA: For the benefit of future
generations the timber, and especial
ly the underbrush, must be protect
ed now before it is too late, from the
sheep devastating the mountain
watersheds. as they have already
done the valleys and table lands. II
sheep are allowed to browse of the
un~derbrush Of our mountains. in less
than five a from now the home
seeker, the man behind the pillow, the
actual taxpayer, will have to leave
the Big Horn basin for want of water
to irrigate his land. No one knows
his better than yourself, for you are
familiar with all of the west" This
has been manifest in the Chama,
Mimbres and other valleys of New
Mexico which in years gone by were
thought to be protected from drouth,
but which almost annually of late
years suffer from drouth and floods
simply because the timber on their
watersheds has not been protected.
New Mexico will learn a severe les
son along those lines before many
more years have passed.

Given an assessment roll that lists
all the property of the county at an

that line is accomplished,
But the tax list must be absolutely
equable.
If the rule Is to asses property at
Une-third its actual value. then all

one-third its actual value. no more

assessed at 100 per cen because he

The people demand that such prac-
tices must stop, not In some cases,

accomplished, and votes will no

enough. The one just passed by both
houses of the legislature is worse
than ever. The 5000 exemption now
applies to any property that q man
may own. provided he is the head OF q

homesteads. The RIGHTEOUSNESS OF
the law lies in the fact that it is

avoid their just proportion of the bur-

(F'rom tile Sentinel, Gebo. Mont.)
In the first opening Of Oklahoma
to settlers in 1889, the editor of this
paper was among the many seekers
after fortune who made the big race
one fine day April. During his
travelling, about and afterwards his
camping upon his claim, ne encour
tered much bad water, which, to-
gether with the severe heat, gave him
a very severe diarrhoea which it
seemed almost Impossible to check,
and along IN June the case became SO
bad he was expected to die. One
day one OF his neighbors brought him
small bottle of Chamberlain s
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
as a last Eol,9. A big dose was given
him while he lay rolling about on
the ground in great agony, and in
few minutes the dose was repeated.
The good effect o. the medicine was
soon noticed, and within an hour the
patient was taking his first sound
sleep for fortnight. That one lit
tie bottle worked a complete cure,
and he can not help but feel graf
ful. The seas for bowel disorders
