THE sYNpLcAres TRIUMPHANT.

Congress has adjourned without any
action looking toward the repeal or re-
form of the land laws. Thus far the
syndicates Of cattiemen and lumber
men, to whom alone these laws are of
advantage, have again triumphed. For
years they have had crews of employees
engaged under the timber and stone
act, under the desert land act, and
under the communication clause of the
homestead act, obtaining fraudulent
title to tracts of land which were i'm
mediately transferred to the employers.
In this way immense areas Of land have
been acquired from the government for
whose millions will be reinforced by
other millions heaped up at the cost Of
those who honestly wish to obtain
farms and homes.
The evil system is intrenched behind
these laws originally designed with a
worthy motive, but so unhappily
phrased that they become the most
helpful implement in the hands of
ready fraud. No bona fide settler has
anything but contempt for the statutes
and parts Of statutes that we have re-
ferred to. The provisions of the home
stead act are all that he could ask.
Under that he can get land if he wants
1t honestly, by merely taking it up. and
living on it in good faith. Every other
bit Of our land law legislation simply
squanders the public domain among
thriving spectators and rowing adven-
turers.
In spite of the immense interests in
volved, Of the dwindIing area of our
public lands, of the great need of the
settler and homeseeker, of public opin-
ion in the commonwealth west of the
Mississippi, of every interest, public
and private, except that OF the cattle
kings and the lumber kings, all efforts
to reform the laws have failed,, so
strong are the moneyed influences in a
few sections Of the West, and so igonrant
Of the Western conditions are the East
ern congressman by whose votes alone
the Ubiquitous land laws can be re-
pealed. At almost any time, if
straight vote could be obtained, these
laws would be thrown overheard But
they are held in committee, met there
by hostile majoritfes, Influenced di-
rectly or indirectly by the syndicates,
and kept from ever becoming a subject
of practical action. Thus these laws
hnger on, the worst menace to the
prosperity and settlement of the West
that exists today
The battle is by no means over. All
the mighty forces that are working for
the upbuilding of the Western country
through irrigation are determined to
push land law reform. All those whe
believe in settling the country, making
it an area of thriving farms dotted with
happy homes, instead of a desert
broken only by wire fences and the
casual cowboy, are determined that
the movement which has come to
naught at this session must be renew
ed again and again until success meets
1t. Public opinion throughout the en-
tire West should be arousedl and main
tanned at high pitch upon this sub
ject. Now that the future of irrigation
is secure as far as legislation and gov
ernmental activity can make it. there
is no issue at present more important
to the West than the sweeping away
Of these Ubiquitous and monopoly feed
ing provisions in our land laws.

CHURCH CONSOLIDATION.
Evangelical Churches Consider Adop
ton of Trust Methods.

Trust methods are about to be adopt.
ed by evangelical churches. DR.. l. F.
Coyle, who has just returned from the
meeting of the Presbyterian Social I'm
ion in New York City. says there is a
movement on foot by which Protestant
churches will cooperate with each
other and will consolidate many of the
smaller pasturates.
''As 1t is now said Dir. Coyle. in
many of the villages one will find n
number of small churches. none of
which have good congregation.
AT the Murray Hill hotel in New
York recently there was a meeting OF
representatives of the Methodist Pres
byterian, Baptist, Congregational and
other denominations Resolutions were
adopted locking to the consolidation of
all Protestant denominations in small
places. Thus. If the people of any town
want a Methodist church, all the other
denominations Will help in establishing
and supporting that church. No other
denomination will establish a church
there until the community has grown
so much that the first church is made
guate. This will enable some one of
the denominations to have a successful
church, where, under the present sys-
TEN, there would be four or five
churches. none of which would be sue

CAPITOL BUILDING. SALEM. OREGON.
A Letter From The Governor Of Oregon.

Peruna is known from the Atlantic to tho
Pacific. Letters of congratulation and COM
mendation testifying to the merits of Pc
runa as catarrh remedy are pouring in
from every State in the Union. DR.. Hart
man is receiving hundreds of such letters
daily. All classes write these letters, from
the highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer. the indoor artisan.
pfhe clerk, the editor. the statesman. the
preachcr-all agree that Peruna is the ca
tarrh remedy of the age. The stage and
rostrum, recognizing catarrh as their great
est enemy. are especially enthusiastic in
their praise and testimony.
Any man who wishes perfect health must
. pc entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is
well nigh universal: almost omnipresent.
Peruna is the only absolute safeguard
known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh.
To prevent colds. to cure colds. is to cheat
catarrh out of its victims. Peruna NOT
only cures catarrh, but prevents it. Every
household should be supplied with this
great remedy for coughs. colds and 70
forth.
The Governor of Oregon is an ardent
admirer of Peruna. He keeps it continue
