Gigantic Land Frauds In Utah.

SALT LAKE, March 27.-Million, of
dollars have been lost to the govern
ment of the United States through
plotters who have gained control of
valuable mineral lands in Utah.
Powerful Influences are known to be
at work in Washington to head off
investigation which may result in the
Indictment of men of prominence.
Investigation discloses that not less
than 32O, 900 acres of coal lands are
involved. If the government had re.
ceived pay for this at the legal price
of $40 an acre it would have been the
richer by Sc, 400, 600. The property is
worth many times that. But only a
part of this was taken as coal land,
advantage Of the law having been
taken by agents of the Rockefeller
Gould Utah Fuel company.
The Rockefeller. Gould Utah Fuel
company has assumed entire control
of the Utah coal deposits, fighting off
through Standar Oil methods all
persons seeking to get a foothold.
Although others have secured coal
claims, Stand ard Oil controls the rail-
road and has kept others from pro.
ducing. Standard Oil has been busy
gathering in all the coal deposits it
could, and, while an investigation is
being held off at Washington, pros.
pective witnesses are preparing for
extended vacations and evidence is be.
ing covered up.

were good and tender to begin with. So much de-

Some women keep their husbands constantly in
hot water and then get into stew themselves, which
don't help matters Mt all. Other women freeze them
with conjuga coldness; others smother them in

a pickle all the time. These women serve up their
husbands with tongue sauce seasoned with pepper
and vinegar, and other sharp and spicy ingredients.
Now, il is not to be expected that husbands can
be made soft and tender by such treatment. "Many
cooks spoil the BROTH" says a wellknown proverb;
but in this it takes but one cook to make all
the mischief
Cooked with pepper and vinegar, or frozen stiff,
husbands are sure TO become hard and tough, and

be good, or she cannot be charming, not on a long
