Woodbine Chronicle: For
several years the big cattle com
panies of the west have been
striving to gain possession of as
much of the public domain as
possible, and different means
have been restored to accom-
plish this end. The homestead
laws have been taken advantage
of, old soldiers and soldiers
widows especially being invited
to take up land under the home
stead rights, with a view Of
transferring it later to someone
of the cattle companies. There
seems to have been a question
in the minds of some of the old
soldiers whether such a proceed
ing would stick when the final
show down came, and later one
of their number resident here
took it upon himself to write
Senator Dolliver regarding the
matter. The letter and answer
which appear below and which
we publish by request of the
writer are self explanatory and
need no further comment:
Woodbine, Ia, Jan. %, '05.-
Hon. j. P. Dolliver-Sir: ]

on your valuable time to ask

Kinkade act to take a home

1ery truly says:
cit is characteristic of the
Spaniard to say "Manana" to-
morrow. And in this respect
most of us are Spaniards.
In reality, we all know there
is no such thing as tomorrow.
There is nothing but today. If
you expect to go to bed tonight
and wake up on tomorrow you
will be swindled. Tomorrow
never comes; ard in time and
eternity it never will come.
"rhere is only and always the
Ev erlasting Now.
Tomorrow is a mirage. When
you come up to it, it rises and
there is another mirage-an-
other tomorrow father on. To-
morrow is like the children's
end of the rainbow t: which it
seems possible and easy to go.
"But we act as if the illusion
were real. We are all like Dick
ems grave digger. We will do
things a n d be happy next
summer We will be good to-
morrow. We will rest and re-
lax tomorrow. We will do our
luty tomorrow. We will be
blessed tomorrow.
eff tomorrow has gender, she
| is a flirt.
"Procrastination putting off
antil tomorrow has been called
the thief of time. And a mighty
cute thief heis. He chloroforms
his victims who dream of tomor-

capacity.
The same sort of contract ex-
lists between the sugar trust and
the citizens of Sterling, and this
factory, as has heretofore been re-
ported in The Post, will be built
in 1906. There is no question Of
its erection, for Sterling citizens
have taken the matter into their
own hands, and declare themselves
ready to furnish the capital and
build the plant themselves in case
the sugar company fails TO per-
form it's part Of the contract. The
Sterling concern, according 10
present plans, will also be of $50
ton capacity.-Denver Post.

The plan is to set aside two
tracts Of 100 acres each on the line
of the Union Pacific and two more
on the Santa Fe. These will be
tracts absolutely without water,
except such as may be obtained
by sinking we'll, and will be
placed directly under Prof. Camp
BELLS supervision.
Prof. Campbell is in the city in
the interest of the movement.
"What l would like to do be
said, sis to get those experimental
tracts located just adjoining some
other tracts where irrigation is
possible. Without the use of any
water except that provided by
rainfall / am satisfied that | can
raise larger and better crops than
the other man who has plenty of
water for irrigation purposes.
The system is particularly a.

Two more sugar factories are to
be established in Colorado as a re-
suit of the trusts policy Of build

OF beets, The two new factories
will be built at Wray and Jules

Each town has signed an agree

raise q certain acreage of beets

towns, it is reported, have already
secured pledges from the adjoining
farmers for all the beets required
under their contracts this season,
and are enthusiastically pushing
