1t is told that Russell Sage said that

OF pecuniary advantage. Like many
millionaires his horizon is apt to be
bounded by cash.
But. believing that there are many
uses to be derived from ones ac-
quaintances besides merely pecuniary
ones, 1t seems strange that so few
ever think of making the best of 9TH

the other day confessed that he owed
an Immense amount of his success to
the inspiration he derived from the So

There is going to be some lively
doings in the arid states of the
west because of some land frauds
which have been perpetrated
through the connivance of govern
ment officials. President Roosevelt
has given his word that wherever
there can be a fraud unearthed, the
guilty parties shall be run to earth.
The Sentinel offers suggestion in
this behalf which may be the means
of ascertaining how certain ST.
Louis men of wealth became pos
sessed OF all the lands of any worth
in the Uintah reservation and there
abouts, containing gilsonite, elater-
tie and other valuable minerals.

who was an early settler in this

made to understand that no filing

tain favored few would have the
best of the picking. We believe there
is plenty of work for the govern
ment if they would investigate a
little in the direction in which The
