Cures Winter Cough.

J.E. Cover, 101 N. Main St., Ottawa, Kan, writes: "Every fall it has been my wife's trouble to catch severe cold, and therefore to cough all winter long. Last fall got for her bottle of Hore- hound Syrup. She used it and has been able to sleep soundly all night long. Whenever the cough troubles her, two or three doses stops the cough, and she is able to be up and we'll" 25c, soc, S1.0O. For sale at J. Heubner's Drug Store.

AS was to have been expected, a clash has occurred between the federal and municipal authorities at Skagwsy, and IS likely to occur in the other incorpor- ated towns where municipal magis- trates have been elected and installed, says the Ketchikan Journal. The municipal authorities claim the right to deal with the gamblers and keepers and inmates of houses of ill fame, which right is denied by the federal authorities, and there you are. The Mining Journal ventures the opinion that the amendment to the criminal code giving the common councils of incorporated towns and cities the power to declare by ordinance what shall con- stitute a misdemeanor, will be held not to extend to and of the public offenses so declared by the code itself and for which penalties are therein prescribed, but only to offenses not named therein. Certainly common council cannot de- clare that to be a misdemeanor which is already made such by the criminal code itself and vary, one way or the other, the penalty prescribed by the code; but were it to do so, fixing pre- eisely the same penalty, it's municipal court could exercise Jurisdiction by sufferance of the higher authority only or as the Alaskan indirectly suggests, by permission of the U. S. district judge. The amendment which author Nes the election of municipal magis- trates in Alaska, is only another variety of the Dead Sea fruit which Alaska is to feed upou and be truly grateful.

 The Seattle P-I., in recent issue, publishes a picture of two forlorn looking little Indian kids, as the chil- dren of Douglas Island miners. Not to enter into question of genesis, the miners children of Douglas Island are the best dressed, finest looking, health fest youngsters you will find in any country, and the picture in the P.-I. is a vile islander.
 Joe Defoe, who was born Jan. 15, 1924, is au example of the healthful- ness of the Alaskan climate. Joe is employed at the Bar. During the past summer he planted and cared for patch of 2SOO cabbages besides other vegetables. He gets up at o'clock in the morning and milks six COWS, feeds the calves and horses and is hale and hearty. Good for Joe.
 The wire netting on the smokestack at the Natatorium, used to arrest sparks, became so cIogged with soot that the smoke could not escape. h. genious councilman Murray hit upon a plan to clean it. He secured a shot gun and let go a couple of times right at the netting and when the smoke cleared away it was clear as whistle. The process is not patented.
 A robbery took place in Douglas Tuesday night. Thieves entered the cabin of John Diamond and took S30 in cash, Smith $ Wesson revolver, and some valuable letters and papers. Diamonds cabin is down on the beach, near Ed. Ehrlich's store: The robbery was committed in the early part of the evening. Mir. Diamond attaches especial value to the letters and papers, which were of private nature. City Marshal Mcdonald is interested in the case and in all probability will bring the guilty parties to justice.

public lands. the commissioner of the
general land office. summarizing these
figures, said:
These tables will show that the
number of committed homestead en-
tries attacked during that period was
less than seventeenth of l per cent
of the number of entries made during
that period; that of the 21O attacks
on entries of this class only 40, or
about 10 per cent thereof. resulted
in the cancellation of the entries;
while the entries Cancelled were abou
one-tenth of l per cent of the number
of entries of that class made during
that period.
The Result Of Wholesale Repeal.
with all these facts in view con
tinucd the senator, let us see what
the effect of the repeal o. these three
important land statutes would be. The
last congress passed q national irriga-
ton law. by the terms of which the
proceeds from the sales of public lands
are set aside for the construction OF
irrigation works. The public land re-
ceipts come wholly and exclusively
from the sale of lands under the three
statutes which the Quarles bill would
repeal. The enactment of the bill into
law would therefore put a sudden end
to national irrigation. The amend
ment of the desert land act and the
timber and stone act as proposed by
the bill which | expect to introduce
would increase the evenu from this
source and thus further the project of
national irrigation.
Again, the repeal of these laws
would greatly retard settlement upon
the public domain of the United States
and turn the stream of homeseekers
native Americans and immigrants
alike-to the Canadian provinces.

no residence is required for the first
two years after entry, except during
the crop season. This allows the set
tier to absent himself at least six
months in the year. giving him an op-
p~Ortunity to earn a little money by en-
gaging in other pursuits. The settler
may commute his entry to cash after
eighteen months residence.
Let me call your attention to an
other feature Of the case, and l do sc
without the remotest desire of reflect
ing upon the motives of any one
Over so, 900, 900 acres of land have
been patented by the government tt
the land grant railroads. The great
er part Of these lands remains un
disposed of. The repeal of our lane
laws would undoubtedly double the
value of these railroad lands. Fur
thermore. under the act of June 4th
1897, known as the lieu land forest re
serve selection act, many millions o
acres of scrip were authorized. Thi
scrip may be located on any of tn
public lands of the United States. APP
plications for more than 5000, 90
acres of this script have already bee
filed in the general land Office. Re
peal of our land laws would natural
enhance the value of this script whic
is held exclusively by two or tire
corporations.
I'm brief. I do O believe it wise t
reverse our land policy. We shoul
rather find the defects in existin
laws and then cure them.
