ATHENA, AUGUST 16, 1904

After little less than two years of
work the department Of the interior has
issued statement outlining the disposi-
ton OF the fund for reclaim ng the aid
lands of the western states and terri
tories. Twenty-seven million dollars
will be expended during the next two or
three years, and the work of construc-
tion, when finished, will have redeemed
100000 acres Of land, capable OF sup
porting population of 100000. This
announcement closes the preliminary
stage Of the reclamation project, which,
being self perpetuative by the law which
set it in motion, will continue to oper-
ate as long as the work of irrigation is
profitable. The object of the reclama-
ton law is to make the government the
agent OF the people in turning ever the
public domain to small land owners on
strictly business basis. The settler can
buy of the government the reclaimed
land at what it cost to redeem it. In
this way the fund for irrigation will not
be exhausted, but will remain intact for
making more land cultivable. The
eastern farmer is not taxed for the bene
fit of the western farm, as would be the
case il the government sold the re-
claimed land at the old figure Of $1.25
per acre. The new lands are to be sold
to actual settlers, and their purchase
limited to 100 acres.

A writer in leading trade journal
says: "Some forty years ago the good
people of these United States abolished
the slave trade. And is 1t not time that
we abolish the trade slave? A trade
slave is man or woman who must go to
his or her business early in the morning
and spend from IL to 16 hours each day
waiting upon lazy and exacting public
that could make its purchases in two
thirds the time. Ask any dealer why he
keeps open so long and he gives only
one excuse Others do 1t is feeble
excuse. Dealers could, if they would,
stand together in this matter, and, with
out injury to any and benefit to all, es-
tablish work-week that would emanci-
pate their trade slaves. Few things in
life are more piteous than the listless
girls, dispirited young men and gray
haired veterans of the stores whose lives
are narrowed down to their daily tolls
by brutally selfish public. To them
the beauties OF nature exist only in pic
lures, and the joys of life are but things
Of their dreams. Millions are giving
their whole lives for just enough to eat,
drink and wear. And they are held to
that hard lot by the thoughtless public
that likes to take its ease,
