The answer depends absolutely upon
the will of the people as it shall be
made known to their representatives
al Washington. No power on earth,
except the power Of an aroused and
indignant public opinion can save the
arid region from falling prey to the
spectators who are alive to their OPP
p%ortunity while the people r asleep.
In his last message the president
recommended the repeal of the desert
land law, of the communication clause
of the homestead law, and of the tim.
Der and stone act These are the
provisions of existing statutes under
which absolutely the most valuable
property now owned by the American
people is being systematically absorb
ed into private ownership by those
who cannot use it, but who propose
to sell it at enormous profit to real
h~omeseekers when the nation shall
have multiplied it's value an hundred
fold by means of irrigation.
The nation has land for every man
who will make his home upon it in
good faith-who will break the sod,
plant crops, build a house, and settle
down to support his family from the
soil. But the nation has no land-at
least 1t ought to have none-for the
mar who merely seeks to forestall
the actual settler and sell out to him
at a profit, or become a landlord col
lecting income from his tenants.
Under the present land laws mill
ions of acres are being taken by those
who have no thought of breaking the
soil, planting crops, or building homes.
They are mere adventures and spec
ulators. The desert land law gives
them a chance to obtain for a song,
without residence and without culti-
walton, 800 acres of the richest soil
on earth-enough for 16 families.
The Communication clause of the home
stead law gives them a chance to take
up 100 acres with but the barest pre-
tence of residence, and that for only
IA months. The timber and stone act
enables them to acquire forests and
quarries for a bagatelle and to hold
them for speculative advances.
Frank Stockton left the hero of
his famous tale hesitating before
two doors. If he opened one, it meant
life and happiness; il the other,
death. And the question was never
answered-"The Lady or the Tiger?"
Uncle Sam stands at the door of the
arid region. His foot is on the thresh-
old, his hand is at the latch. Shall
it be the homemaker or the specula-
tor? Shall it be life and happiness
for millions, or a riot and carnival
OF speculation at the expense of the
people?
There is but n way to answer the
question in the interest of the nations
welfare. That is to repeal the vicious
provisions of the existing land laws,
in accordance with the president
recommendation.

been printed times innumerable, as
a scout. She owed no allegiance to
the government and only the disobe-
dience of orders on the part of the
enlisted men and teamsters connected
with the command made it possible
for her to be with it. Captain Egan'
was wounded and the woman, respond
ing to the better instincts of her sex
undertook to rescue him. This she
succeeded in doing. The fact that she
was there in violation of orders was
overlooked and henceforth she was
Calamity Jane"
The Work Of Romancers.
While it is true that Jane al with
many of the commands that were senE
out from the little military posts Of
the west during the seventies, there
is no we'll authenticated record that
she ever was regularly employed by
the government as a scout, or even
nurse. There were many other women
Of her kind who accompanied those
expeditions and to better conceal their
identity usually wore ar old uniform
or the castoff clothing Of some team
ster. Thus arrayed Calamity" has
been seen otter and some Interesting
stories are told of hxcAEscapades AMI
those of "Broncho a.~ and others
like them. They are interesting stor-
les, but hardly of the kind that are
published. Those that have found
their way into print, while less truth
full, sound better and are not open to
objection, as would be the true ones.
Among the fiction that has been
published concerning Calamity" is
her alleged capture of and subsequent
participation in the lynching of Jack
Mccall, who assassinated wild Bill"
Mccall was captured at Cheyenne, af-
ter he had been released by a miners
court that tried him for the murder
of Hicox, the name of "Wild Bill"
He was taken to Yankton, then the
capital of Dakota territory, and le-
gally hanged.
Jane was not, as is being continually
published, a member of the 'Deadwood
Vigilance committee" There never
was a vigilance committee in Dead
wood and nobody was ever lynched
in the town, something unusual for
an oldtime mining camp, perhaps, but
it is true, nevertheless. This, too,
contrary to the statement OF a certain
long haired individual that she al
ways took part in every lynching
bee" and that it was always a pretty
active part, too" The only mortality
to which she was incident in Dead
wood was that inflicted upon the
brands of whisky that were sold in
those days over the bars of the dance
houses of which she was an ornament.
But death has finally claimed her
and with all her faults and virtues,
for she had a few of the latter, chief
of which was her generosity AMI liber-
ality, she has gone to the other side
of the river that all must cross.
Those that knew her hope she was
kindly received and that a tear blot
ted from the register all record OF
her misdeeds and that she has been
accorded a seat we'll in front, where
the music of the heavenly hosts may
strike upon her ears and erase the
memory of the discordant notes of the
fiddles and battered old pianos to
which she so often attempted to keep
time here below.

soil provides from -
the growing crops and ruin their pro-
ductiveness.
Diseases are to the body what weeds
are to the soil. They divert the nutri-
ton which is necessary to sound health,
and the body, instead of being strong
and hardy, drags out sick1y existence.
When ~ stomach is diseased and the
other Z. ,,4ls Of digestion and nutrition
are involved with it, there is a constant
loss of nutrition by the body. The ston-
ache and its allied organs are not able to
convert the foods into nourishment, and
hence the body and its several organs are
deprived of the necessary elements OF
vitality. What is known as "weak"
heart or vweak" lungs, "weak nerves
and other forms of so-called weakness, are
generally caused by "weak" stomach.
When the stomach and the other organs
of digestion and nutrition are cured, then
the other diseases are cured with it. Dis
eases which are caused by diseased
condition of the stomach are cured
through the stomach. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases
of digestion and nutrition. 1t cures
through the stomach diseases of heart,
lungs, liver and other organs. 1t in
creases the activity of the blood-making
glands, so that the whole body is nour-
ished by an abundant supply of pure
blood, rich in the bright red corpuscles
of health.
There is no alcohol in vGolden Med
ical Discovery" and it contains neither
opium, cocaine, nor any other narcotic.
1t is strictly temperance medicine.
Persons suffering from chronic forms
of disease are invited to consult DR..
