ASK THAT LAW
Be REPEALED
Public Lands Commission
Presents a Partial Report
to President and Congress
NEW STATUTE OUTLINED
Recommendation Is Made
That Act Be Amended in
Favor of HOmeSteaders

WASHINGTON, March THE COM
mission appointed October II. 1903. by
the President, consisting of'W. A. Rich
ards, Commissioner of the General
Land Office; Clifford Pinchot, chief
forester of the Department of Agricul-
ture. and F. H. Newell, chief engineer
Of the reclamation service, to make
suggestions regarding revision Of the
laws relating to public lands, has made
partial report to the President, which
was sent to Congress to-day. 1t recon-
mends the repeal of the timber and
stone act and the substitution of suit
able provisions for selling, after ap
praisal, the timber on public lands that
is needed In large or small quantities
for industrial purposes.
The committee also recommends the
repeal Of the law permitting assign
ment OF entries under the desert land
law and urges the Importance of more
careful administration of law, especially
to those provisions relating to obtain
ing an adequate permanent water sup
ply. 1t advocates the restricting Of the
communication clause of the homestead
entry act, where such entries are To-
the land is chiefly valuable for timber
1t suggests the outlines for a law per-
mitting homestead entries upon agri-
cultural land within forest reserves and
the survey and description Of such ag-
ricultural lands by metes and bounds,
rather than by the regular system, thus
permitting the agricultural lands to be
selected along the valleys and to en-
brace the good tillable land without
taking in extensive tracts of sidehill.
The recommendation also is made
that when lands are restored to entry
after temporary segregation ample time
should be allowed homesteaders to ex-
ercise their rights, giving them the
preference over persons who may wish
10 select the land by the use of scrip
or other form of entry.

GOVERNMENT is ASSISTING.

At the ST Louis convention all these sub
jects will be carefully considered and very
states will follow. Every State and Territory
will be represented at this convention. and we
hope for large representation from the for
eign countries. of which thrty-three have
been invited to participate. Belgium. Austria
and Germany have already accepted and we
have received assurance of representative s
from India where by the way, notwthstand-
ing tie fact that annually sending
large sums of money to that country for mis-
sionary purposes. they have 900 miles of the
finest roads in the world. Good roads mean
the future salvation of the whole country, and
California needs many miles of them The
Government is rendering our association great
aid not in a direct way but in the way of
cooperation. In the fifty ninth session of
providing financial assistance for the asso-
ciation Its legislation in favor of free rural
mail delivery has done much to stimulate pub
lie sentiment in reference to good roads. for
one of the conditions demanded by the Gvern :
ment is that the districts in which this service
is installed shall contain at least twenty "A We
families and that the roads shall bs of a
nature to permit travel all the year round.

estimated TO be about AZ, 600 people.
President Moore will confer with
representatives of the local CONNER
cial bodies this morning regarding the
holding of the State convention in this
city and he will return to Los Angeles
tomorrow, and from there will an
nounce his choice between that and
this city as a meeting place for the
convention. The railroad officials yes
terday expressed the opinion that San
Francisco is the more preferable, and
President Moore said last evening that
he was Of the same opinion.

RADIUDI.
This Remarkable Mineral on Exhibi.
ton at the Regal Shoe Store.

There is on exhibition at the Regal shoe
store a small tube of the marvellous mineral
Radum which is doing much to upset
theories OF medicine. chemistry and physics.
This little tube is only about inch long
and is placed in a handsome jewel box. An
announcement on card says that II is worth
IS OO0 900 q pound This is at the rate OF
$50 COO a gramme.
This is the second scientific discovery that
the Regal Shoe Company has used to attract
attention to their windows. the first being the
Cooper Hewitt Light, which for several weeks
gave forth at night from the windows of the
Regal stores its weird green brilliancy
THE specimen OF Radium exhibited was i'm
ported for the Regal Shoe Company from the
Paris laboratory of Madame Skiodowska Curie,
the discoverer of Radium.
There are also exhibited with the Radium
a radiogrnph of lion which was taken by
the light given off by a tube OF the substance.
and two specimens of mineral one Bohemian
pitchbiende, which is the from which
Radium comes; the other, wilimite, from
New Jersey, which is Illuminated in the dark
when under the influence of Radium.
Probably few museums of the country can
boast of as perfect Aadium display as Is made
by the Regal Company and which can be seen
every day An its windows. The Radium will be
exhibited for a week or two longer.

Two Theaters Are Destroyed and In

ELMIRA, n. Y, March THE fire
that was discovered in cigar factory
under the Lyceum Theater last night
did damage of 100000 At 1890
o'clock the Lyceum Theater had been
entirely gutted and the blaze had
spread to the adjoining buildings.
Flying sparks spread the flames to the
Realty building. in which is located
the Auditorium Theater, and this, too,
proved a total loss.
The fire is said to have been started
by an explosion of natural gas in the
Lyceum Theater building, but accord
ing to another report a burning rag
was found on the Auditorium stage,
and this has given rise to the suspicion
that both theaters were set on fire by
an incendiary. In response to a re-
quest from the local Fire Department
aid was sent from the Elmira State
Reformatory, Elmira Heights and
Horseheads and at daybreak the fire
was under control. d. c. Robinson.

PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND
Vitozer Discovery
Physician Prof. Edward e Phelps

Last spring 1 was very much run
down. and Sc weak that the slightest ex-
ertion exhausted me so that 1 would
have to sit down and wait until I could
catch my breath and for my heart to
stop fiuttering
Il was a particularly hearty, active
girl, but my health left me suddenly and
L began to grow weaker. used to think
that if 1 grew so weak in such a short
time it would only be little time longer
before 1 would be on my bed, perhaps
dying.
Il remember the day 1 took my first
dose of Paines Celery Compound. While
visiting a friends house I had a weak
spell. The medicine did me so much
good that on my way home I bought a
bottle. The relief was great.
II decided 1 would keep on taking lit
tie doses regularly until my system was
built up, and l did so for three or four
months. Occasionally 1 take a dose of
Paine's Celery Compound now when the
strain has been a little too much for me.
But I never feel the awful smother
ing and heart fluttering that 1 used to
have, and it is only very seldom now
that I really feel tired. 1 sleep and eat
well and my health is excellent. Miss
Beatrice Darlington, 36 Washington
Square, New York, Jan. 5, 1904.
To-day Miss Darlington is well and
strong. Her exquisite, clear complexion
is delight to the eye. Her run down,
tired feeling is gone forever.
She is buoyant with health and vital
ity. For Paine's Celery Compound has
given to her the same vital strength and
CHEEKY health that it gives to every tired
man and woman who relies upon it.

ENRICHING THE PACKERS.

The net income of one Of the great
Chicago packers from his refrigerator
line Is. on an average, about S25 per
car per month This would make the
net income for each car per year $500.
or course the monthly income varies
according TO the number Of miles
travelled by the car, but it ranges from
as low as 81 TO as high as s45, and the
average monthly for the whole num-
Der Of cars, about 1000. would be about
sg5. These cars when new cost the
