LAND OFFICE RULING
Desert Entrymen Required to Raise Crop
on one-Eighth Of Tract by
Actually Tilling Soil

The following ruling from the
General Land Office, taken from
the North Park Uuion. will no
doubt apply to this valley as well.
If it is strictly enforced it will
work a revolution in the reclama-
ton of laud under the desert act:
Under date of July |, 1904, the
department of the interior at
Washington, d.. c.. made the fol-
lowing ruling, which explains it
self:
Claimant states in his final
proof that he has raised about two
thirds of n ton of hay per acre on
about go acres. On cross examin-
alton when asked what kind of
crops he has raised he answered
native and timothy hay and pota-
toes. This is not such evidence
of one-eighth cultivation as can be
accepted unless claimant can show
that the timothy, hay and potatoes
covered land equal to one-eighth
of the area embraced in his entry.
aud that the ground WAS prepared
for the timothy by tillage.
You will advise the claimant
and any other known party in
interest in this case that this must
be shown, or that it must be shown
by affidavit duly corroborated that
in some manner one-eighth of the
land embraced in the entry has
been cultivated by tilling the soil.
This requirement cannot be waiv-
ed unless il can be conclusively
shown that tillage of the soil
would destroy or injure the prod
uctive quality thereof or that elm
attic conditions are such that crops
other than grass cannot be success.
fully produced. Ii this latter
showing is made, then in that case
a showing that a crop of hay of
hay of merchantable value has
been produced on one-eighth of
the land, HIS a result of actual irri-
CATION may be accepted as a suftic-
lent compliance with the law as to
cultivation. Notify claimant of
the above requirement allowing
sixty days from notice to comply
Herewith or to appeal, and upon
failure to take action the entry and
firal certificate hereby held for
cancellation will be cancelled with
out further notice from this Office

5 THOROUGHBRED YEARlIMes
Inter Mountain Fair Prize Takers "A
Revolution in Western Hereford
Breeding Harder Cattle and
Bigger and Better Beef.

l.. G. Davis is exhibiting at the
Fair five yearling Hereford bulls,
J which have, perhaps, no superiors
in the West.
The big stockfarm of Mr.. Davis
is located nera Saratoga on the
North Platte River in Carbon
county and comprises 150 head of
Hereford.
The head of the Davis Hereford
stockfarm is Rex Major, sired by
the famous Hereford show bull
Dandy Rex. Rex Major is 2 years
! old and has an always cash market
value of 81 DOC.
Dandy Rex is owned by Gedgell
and Simpson of independence Mo.
and from this mammoth stockfarm
/ Hereford herd Mr.. Davis purch-
aser Rex Major.
4 Yesterday the Davis exhibit
took the first in yearling Hereford
bulls and the sweepstake premium
for the best Hereford bull of any
class.
The two successful yearling
Hereford bull prize winners are
respectively registered under the
name of Boone, No. 170.123; and
Addison, No l7O.113.
Both of these yearlings are'sired
by Duke, who was sired by the
/ great John H. bred and owned by
Scott and Marsh, OF Bolton Mo.
on one of the crack and largest
Hereford stockfarms of America.
4 MI. Davis is already in receipt
of %flattering offers for these five
yearling bulls and will probably
dispose of them at the close of the
grate Inter Mountain Fair at an
average of between 1925 and $3.50
Yer head,
~ Mr.. Davis is at once a scientific

Heaeford cattle breeder.
Hereford breeders of today
have been content to fully i'm
prove and deliberately exhaust the
common points of general fine
Hereford breeding. Mr.. Davis
or, bv the way, the Hon. Mr..
Davis-has turned his entire and
express attention of the thorough
bred Hereford to Western ranch
pasture and winter feeding con-
& ditions.
In this evolvement and actual
departure from the accepted thor
ough bred standaed Hereford of
the past, Mr.. Davis has produced
animals of heavier bone, shorter
legs, longer barrel and at once
longer and closer hair then its
eastern family number.
The longer barrel and shorter
legs gives a greater meat develop
ment and a plumper and sturdier
market appearance, with an actual
heavier weight per steer, while
the thicker side and at once long.
Pr and more closely curling hair
Ensures an adequate protection
against the western and Wyo.
ing winter storms.
In other words, the Hereford
breeding revolution brought
about by Mr.. Davis gives a hard.

SWEPT BY FLOODS
DEATH AND DESTRUCTION FOL
LOWS HEAVY RAINFALL IN
BLACK HILLS.
BUILDINGS ARE SWEPT AWAY
SUBSTANTIAL STRUCTURES At
DEADWooD WRECKED BY
RAGING TORRENT.

Deadwood, s.. D., June 7.-As a re-
suit of the heavy rainfall owe the
Black Hills. which has continued for
nearly a week, Whitewood, Deadwood
and Choke creeks, three streams which
pass within the city limits. have left
their banks, carrying away a number
of barns, sidewalks and outbuildings.
The White building, n of the most
substantial in the city, was wrecked,
n the city hall greatly damaged.
One large building was carried away.
Two lives are known to be lost,
Matthew Bender. a young man of Cen
ter City, who was drowned in an at
tempt to save property, and Guy S.
Boudy, q farmer near Sturgis. No
trains have been able to enter or leave
Deadwood since Friday on either the
Burlington or Northwestern on &C.
count of washouts. The damage waa
greatest at Central City, nearly all the
business portion of that
Tow Being Washed Away.
Half a mile of Northwestern track
was swept away and the Columbus
Mining company's plant nearly de-
stroyed. A large number of homes at
Gayville, a few miles distant. were car
ried away and the lower part of the
town is under water. From reports
thus far of the floods it is believed the
property loss in Deadwood and other
Black Hills cities and to the railroads
will exceed half a million dollars. The
water is still high, but it is believed
the crest of the flood has been
reached.
At Puma a mile of the electric
suburban line was carried away and
the Burlington street and railway
bridge was wrecked.

WHY WOMEN GET LESS.

Marshall Fields Buyer Says Their

why are women paid less wages
than menu"
This question was asked Of John ]
Johnson, for many years a buyer for
Marshall Field, the great Chicago mil
lionaire retail merchant.
That is easy to answer. They are
paid less because their work is inferior
to mems. Women as a class are not
competent workers-not even in those
things in which they have always been
occupied, such as cooking and sew
ing.
But the clamor of women advocates
Is always for equal wages between the
sexes. This is a cry which is not based
on reason. Men a do more and bet
