SHORT ON LAND.

The University of Wyoming is en-
titled to a handsome ven from its
land grants, but for some reason it has
received little or nothing from that
sourc Twenty-six years g the leg
islature made a special appropriation
for the selection of its lands. and Mr..
Sawip picked out seventy-two choice
sections, but it appears that the same
was of little value. But the University
has other land subsidies, and it is sur
prising what little benefit has been OBJ
tanned from it. The next legislature
should give this subject earnest con-
sideration and provide that something
be done with this All Of the
land should be leased for what 1t will
bring, If it is only n cent an acre.
And then II the receipts are not ade-
auate to the purpose for which they
were intended, application should be
made for another grant-one that will
answer the purpose. even if it should
take 500. 900 acres more. In Oklahoma,
where the climate is favorable to agri-
culture, the public schools got four
sections out of each township. and the
university lands in proportion. There
10 abundance of public land in the
state, and there is no reason why a
liberal allowance should not be set

This Is easier said than done, yet 1t
may be of some help to consider the
matter. If the is something ov-
er which you have no control it is OBJ
vlous that worrying will not help the
matter in the least. On the other
hand, If within your control you have
only to act. When you have a cold
and fear an attack Of pneumonia, buy
n bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy and use 1t judiciously and all cause
for worry as to the outcome will quick
ly disappear. There is no danger OF
pneumonia when it Is used. For sale

THE b

At the meeting of the American AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement of Sci
ence, held in the city of Washington
last week, Mr.. J. D. Whelpley said that
not another acre of public lands should
be sold for cash II its equivalent. Res
idence and cultivation should be re,
Quired before it could be obtained and
this residence and cultivation should be
at least five years, so as to insure a
permanent and not a speculative inter
eat in the holding. He sounded a note
Of warning against the free disposal
Of the public lands.
west Mr.. Whelpley's ideas mo be
carried into practice. The homestead
law is inadequate, unless supplement
ed by the desert act, or some other act
that will give a settler sufficient land
upon which to earn a livelihood. Pos
sibly the new irrigation law will work
out in such a wey hat the small far
mer can make a living upon 100 acres
Oh l3uu, OF even less.
In the main, Mr.. Whelpley is right.
There is no question but that the large
ranch Of forty or fifty thousand acres
is q determent to the state at large.
Immense quantities of fertile lands
that would support many families
are thereby kept from settlement. In
numerous cases in this state many
miles of our best streams are absolute
ly controlled by single individuals.
The land is not cultivated and is large
ly used for pasture. Nearly all of
such lands are susceptible Of cultiva-
ton and the raising of valuable crops.
Under cultivation they would not only
enrich the state, but would bring a re-
turn to the present owners many times
in excess of the value now placed upon
them.
We are rapidly approaching a bet
ter period. The time is at hand when
homestead entries will be made for the
purpose of making homes thereon. and
not for the sole purpose Of keeping
some other fellow of. 1t is a fact that
many people believe the requirement
Of the homestead law as to residence
and cultivation is complied with if they
70 to the land once in six months and
sleep there over night. Having per-
formed this act. they r prepared to
perjure themselves by swearing that
they have made their actual residence
upon the land. AS the land of the west
becomes more valuable. such practices
will disappear before the mandate of
public opinion. which after all is the
power that causes the enactment and
the enforcement of all laws.

Train. of Starving Cattle.

The long-continued drought in ONE Of
the southern portions of Australia has
resulted In some queer scenes there.
Farmers in the north having offered
their pasture land for the starving cat
tie and horses, the government has in.
dertaken the transportation Of these
animals to the pasture lands. and
whole trains have been devoted to the
work, to the delay and detriment Of
other railroad business. Some Of the
animals were so weak that the placing
of them on the cars presented q seri.

affected districts have reverted to a
state Of desert. Victoria and New

loss, while in Queensland the drought

the candidates announced for city
marshal that they will be granted
all possible immunity from arrest
and prosecution, in the event
either of them is elected. The
Leader has a high estimate OF
the personal integrity and good
intentions of both candidates for
Marshal, but in the light of the
effort referred to, all citizens op-
posed to the above named evils
should be sure that he is making
no mistake on this point. If the
two gentlemen who are running
for Marshal are not willing to
give all the assurance to the
friends of sound morality, law
and order on this question that is
needed, let another candidate who
can be relied on be brought out
before it is too late and let the is
sue be made open and clear-cut.
All the community needs or
should ask is a marshal who will
go along and simply do his official
duty, dealing with all law viola
tors impartially, without fear,
favor or affection.
The same should apply to the
constable's Office before the Au-
gust primary. The community

this respect men are recreant to
their duty as fathers or citizens in
not doing all that they can to do
away with the gambling hells, as
the influence that contaminate and
corrupt the boys. Until they are
