Show that the Smaller Farms are
More Profitable, by far.

1t was bad enough that Cong
ress should have blundered into
such legislation as the desert land
law, the stone and timber claim
act, and the communication clause OF
the homestead law; which legis-
lation provided the apparatus un-
der which millions of acres of tim
Der and farming lands have been
absorbed by speculators-practi-
cally stolen from the nation under
color of law. But that Congress
should deliberately legislate to
quadruple the opportunities of the
land-grabbers, by passing measures
like those now pending, allowing
homestead entrymen to take up a
square mile of land-this would
be atrociously worse. 1t would,
in fact, signalize the complete sur
render of Congress to the worst
foes of the agricultural develop
ment of the nation. 1t would say,
in effect, to the small farmer and
home maker, I'VE have no further
use for you in the West. We
prefer to give up the land to the
making of big estates" )" Big land
holdings, as every one knows, do
more to retard the growth of the
country than almost any other
cause.
The claim that the grazing in
terests need such large areas for

their development, and that the
lands which it is proposed to give
away in 64o-acre tracts are fit only
for grazing, is met by two facts;
First-Cattle and sheep are
more proftably and abundantly
raised under the system OF small
farming, where each farmer looks
after a small herd efficiently and
well, with none of the inhumani-
ties attending the range method.
This is proven by the fact that
Iowa alone, on the small farm sys-
TEN, raises more cattle than several
of the largest States combined,
where the range system prevails.
Second-Practical experiments
and investigation shows that the
regions proposed to be surrendered
in square mile lots contain large
areas of good agricultural land, on
which, without irrigation, excel
lent crops of grain, fax, fruit, ETC.,
have been raised. The study of
soils and methods-to say nothing
of irrigation-is certain to extend
these areas The good agricultu-
ralists" of fifty years ago con-
demned Minnesota's soil as in
capable of producing anything
but potatoes and sawlogs." To-
day the State stands in the front
rank in the quality, quantity and
variety of its products. The good
agriculturalist" of 1905 is very
slow about condemning as only fit
to support the few cattle which
may be herded on it under the
range system.
The small farmer and home
maker is backed, in his desire that
all the remaining government
lands shall be held for his kind,
by practically all the railroad,
manufacturing and commercial in
terests of the nation, which
recognize that it is in the multi
plication of small holdings-not
in the creation of large estates
that their prosperity lies. A truer
craftsmanship would reduce the
present I6o-acre homestead grant
by half, instead of multiplying it
by four.-St. Paul Pioneer-Pr

Huge Dam Project.

Mr.. Maxwell and the association
are intensely interested in the
success of the governments plan,
which will be the first project un-
der the National Reclamation Act
of 1902, of creating great reser-
voir in the Tonto basin, seventy
FIVE miles east of Phoenix, Ari-
zona, by means of an immense
dam across a rocky gate between
two mountain ridges.
This Roosevelt dam will con-
tain 100000 cubic yards of mason
ry, and will be 27o feet high from
bedrock. This will be the highest
barrier of its kind in the worldg
and will result in the creation of a
lake fifteen miles long, to be used
tor irrigation and reclamation pur-
poses This reservoir will exceed
any other except that at Assouan,
Egypt, where the Nile waters are
damned. Two spillways 100 feet
long will carry food waters around
the dam. The work must be done
in two years. The government is
about to let the contract for the
work, bids having been opened
At the site of the dam, on Salt
river, has sprung up town of con
siderable size, which has been
named after President Roosevelt.
A sluicing tunnel 45o feet long
has been constructed through the
canyon wall at the dam site for an
outlet to the reservoir. The
emptying of the reservoir will be
regulated by six gates built above
this tunnel and operated from
above. The gates will cost SIo2,-
900, and with the machinery to
operate them will weigh 100000
pounds. When the reservoir is
full, they will have a discharging
capacity of 10000 cubic feet per
second.
All the work is under charge
of the Interior Department. For
the Salt River project 100000
is available.

" neglected. people su1ef
4 with constipation, biliousness, Y
headaches and fevers. Colds attack
the lungs and contagious diseases
take hold of the system. It is safe
to say that if the liver were always
kept in proper working order,
illness would be almost unknown.
Thedford's Black-Draught is 10
successful in curing such sickness
because it is without rival as a
liver regulator. This great family
medicine is not a strong and
drastic drug, but a mild and
healthful laxative that cures con-
stipation and may be taken by
mere child without possible
harm.
The healthful action on the liver
cures biliousness. 1t has an in
vigorating effect on the kidneys.
Because the liver and kidneys do
not work regularly, the poisonous
acids along with the waste from
the bowels get back into the blood
and virulent contagion results.
Timely treatment with Thed-
ford's Black -Draught removes the
dangers which lurk in constipation,
liver and kidney troubles, and will
positively forestall the inroads of
Bright's disease, for which dis
ease in advanced stages there is
no cure. Ask your dealer for

Situation Serious.

St. Petersburg, Jan. 24.-The situation
confronting the military authorities at
Moscow is much more serious than that in
st. Petersburg. Out Of oyer / 600 inhabi-
tants in Moscow, over two-thirds are
workmen, including an exceedingly rough
and turbulent element. The troops there
are fewer and the city does not tend it.
self, like st. Petersburg, to natural barriers
to prevent the congregation of men. The
center of the town has no bridges and no
canals and bills and narrow streets make
it difficult for troops to act. Only the
gates piercing the walls Of the old Chinese
town which surrounds the Kremlin would
afford the military natural places to bar
demonstrators.
At Kovno and wilma, where strikes
slso Lave been begun, the workmen are
following tue st. Petersburg plan Of
marching about the city and inducing or
forcing other workmen to leave their EN-.
ployment,
The windows and doors Of practically
every shop and residence in ST. Peters
burg are boarded up and at midnight the
streets, as on Monday night, were COM
pletely deserted, except for troops.
During the day there was great crop
of sensational rumors, including stories of
strikers marching TO Kolpino to seize the
small arms factory there, and of the
assassination OF General Fulton the prefect
of st. Petersburg, all of which, on investi-
CATION, have turned out to be false. The
inhabitants have again been warned to re-
mSin indoors.
1t Is not known definitely whether
Father Gopon, the leader of the working
men, is 10 Moscow or st. Petersburg. A
proclamation said to have emenated FROM
him, states thai he has gone over body
and soul to the social democrats.
