SENATOR CLARK RIGHT.

Senator Clark of Wyoming gave the
one hot shot in relation to the re-
peal Of the land laws. He was hamp-
cred by Patterson Of Colorado and
Gibson Of Montana. OF course, but they
do not represent the sentiment Of the
west; they simply oppose.
In his contention that the homestead
law, unaided, is insufficient. the senator
arid states have long recognized this
fact. No stockman can get along with
100 acres Of land, and much Of the
land of the arid states is not suscep-
tible of other use than stockraising.
The senator says the frauds are not
the fault Of the law. This in reply to
the charge of Patterson and Gibson
that there have been frauds. Abso-
lutely true. II the government will put
a sufficient number OF agents in the
field to make an examination Of every
entry at least once in two years and at
final proof, nine-tenths Of the fraud
will cease at once. The fault is not in
the law itself; it is in the economical
policy Of the government in its admin
istration OF the law.
When Senator Clark stated that a
bare-faced lobby was urging the repeal
OF the land laws and that one of the
holders of scrip had boosted that he
had contributed toward a fund of $751;
900 for the purpose of urging repeal,
he doubtless referred to the Maxwell
lobby End to President Hill Of the
Northern Pacific. President Hill re-
Gently stated that his road contribut.
ed 5000 toward a SOS, 900 fund for
what they allege to be the promotion
of irrigation in the west, but the chief
OF their bureau, Mr.. Maxwell, has
fought for the repeal of the land laws.
Should these laws be repealed, scrip
held by the railroads would at once
advance in value.
The fight is not yet won. but indi-
cations point to the conclusion that
friends of the west will be able to save
the desert land act and the commute
ton clause of the homestead act.

Secretary Symons Of the Laramie
Building and Loan association sends
us his report showing the financial
condition of that institution for the
year ending January 25th, 1904. The
Laramie association has six series now
running, and the institution itself is
on q firm footing and matured its first
series in ia months, after having pass
ed through some very trying times.
This is a remarkably good showing,
when it is considered that the dull
years from 1893 to 1898 are included
in the period. The Cheyenne Railway

when the hour arrived l went up to

that the bag Of cotton was found In

ADVICE.

When one has suffered tortures from
a bad back and found out how the
aches and pains a be removed, ad-
vice is of untold value to friends and
neighbors, particularly when they
know the statement Is absolutely cor
rect. The following advice comes
from a Laramie resident. Charles Nor
ton, now retired Of 1O7 Hodgman
street, says: "One day while in the
Laramie Drug Cos. store l got a box
of Doan's Kidney Pills probably more
out of curiosity than expecting the
medicine to do me any good because
for a number of years a difficulty with
the kidney secretions existed indicat-
ed by irregularity. ] noticed when in
this condition my back ached across the
loins and l knew that in some way
my kidneys were effected. l had an
attack when I began using Doan's Kid
ney Pills and l tested the remedy
thoroughly. If anyone in Laramie re-
ceives as positive benefit from the use
of the medicine as l, then backache or
kidney complaint in any Of its forms
will cease to exist in this vicinity"

It is a great affection for a woman to
have her face disfigured by pimples or
any form Of eruptive disease. 1t makes
her morbid and sensitive, and robs her
Of social enjoyment. D~ishguring erup-
tons are caused by impure blood, and
are entirely cured by the great blood
purifying medicine-Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t emoves from the
blood the poisonous impurities which
cause disease. 1t perfectly and perman-
emily cures scrofulous sores, eczema,
letter, boils, pimples and other eruptive
diseases which are caused by the blood's
impurity. 1t increases the action of
the b~lood-making glands and thus in
creases the supply of pure rich blood.
