The Week in Society.

The arrival of st. Valentines day
brought about unusual gaiety in social
circles. Miss Emmie Meng was hostess
on Thursday evening at beautiful
Valentine function. Hearts reigned
supreme in the decorative scheme while
the rooms were softly lighted with
crimson candles. A game of Progress
sive Nations" proved most interesting
and tempting refreshments were served
in courses. A large number of guests
enjoyed Miss Meng's hospitality.
Mr.. Samuel Fleming entertained on
the evening of st. Valentines day and
hearts were of course everywhere in
evidence. The guests were entertained
with games, different game being
played at each table. Valentine score
cards were used and pretty prizes
awarded the most successful players.
Mr.. Fleming's party was one of the
prettiest affairs recently enjoyed by
the young folks.

Walking Off With the u. S.

Mr.. Arthur Ruhl, writing under the
ABOVE title in Golfers for February 18.
SHOWS now our greatest heritage, as q
nation, is being squandered and stolen
by Organized Greed. Mr.. Ruhl saws:
More than three millions of acres of
tlmoer land, the greater part of it the
magnificent timber land of the North
west. has been practically given away
by the Government in the past two
years. Probably nine-tenths of this
was grabbed either by actual fraud or
by violating the spirit of an absurd and
impotent law. There is nothing par
tlcularly new in this except that the
land grabbed has been particularly val
liable, the destruction of timber par
tlcularly ruthless. Respectable citizens
nave always thought it proper to cheat
the Government. Were it not that
such men as Senator Mitchell, Con-
gresham Binger Hermann, Surveyor
General Meldrum of Oregon, and Fred
erick Hyde, President of the San Fran
cisco School Board, are under indict
ment, the blase East would not even
now take any interest. The West takes
land5grabbing for granted. The whole
history of our public lands is one of
ruthless grabbing, and still more of
ldiotic laws and farcical attempts to
enforce them. The manner in which
the Government has given away it's
pubic land makes the dealings of Mrs.
Chadwick's bankers look like the apex
of conservative and astute finance. We
have thrown away and are throwing
away such an empire as was never
given to any other nation under the
sun. Under the altruistic theory that
the public land should be given to the
people for homesteads and farms, do
mains vast enough to constitute separ-
ate States have been tossed away to
spectators, ranchmen and lumber cor
porations. To the States, for the
avowed purpose of providing for edu-
cation, we once gave 10000 acres of
land for each Senator and Representa-
tive in Congress. The States which
had no public land received scrip which
eventually found its way into the open
market. Wall Street spectators at
one time advertised the college scrip of
nine States. The entire script of one
university was offered at one time for
thirty-seven and half cents an acre.
The greater part Of this land, the in
come of which was intended to be used
for education, has long since been
and lost forever. Under the
old Swamp Lands act thousands of
acres in the Sierra Nevada Mountains
were seized as swamp lands five thou
sand feet above the level of the sea,
actually requiring irrigation to make
anything grow on them. Vast acres
were surveyed when flooded and grab
bed or included, because some far-off
corner had mud mole in it. They tell
a story of man who put boat on o |

Meeker Hotel Calendar.

One of the most attractive calendars
that has come to the ADVERTISER, is
that of the Meeker Hotel, Colorado. 1t
is 16 X 10 bristol, on which is arranged
with artistic effect half-tone pictures of
the Meeker Hotel and grounds, and of
various hunting and fishing parties with
the results of the "catch," etc.
In one picture are nine deer, the re-
suit of one days drive, and on another,
thirty-nine trout, the largest weighing
3 1-2 pounds, caught by Mr.. Ball.
There is also picture Of President
Roosevelt and John Golf on their return
from the bear hunt, and the poor old
wild cat, which had to sacrifice it's life
for the bear that was too smart to be
caught.
Mr.. r. S. Ball, formerly of this county
and good friend of the ADVERTISER,
is the proprietor Of the Meeker Hotel.

wagon and had his mule draw him
across a stretch of fertile prairie. Then
he went to the land office and entered
his claim for swamp land, producing
several witnesses who were quite will
ing to swear, orally, that he rowed over
the claim in boat. Railroads, by Jug
Cling the alternate sections" they re-
ceived when first running their lines
through the new country, have ac-
quired tracts of twenty or even fifty
miles, which they have held unim-
proved, waiting for values to rise, while
the home-steaders beyond these belts
were driven back, compelled to content
themselves with the imaginary advan-
tages of railroad perhaps fifty miles
distant. The Government has not al
ways even kept faith with its own chill
dren. 1t has invited settlers into a
country, and after they had built houses
and started farms in good faith, has
sold out the whole area to railroad or
speculative corporation, at, for exam
pie, 81 an acre. The home-steaders
were then elected or obliged to buy
back their own land from their new
masters, at for instance, Sc an acre,
paying for the improvements that they
themselves had made And so on, and
so on. It's an old story now-one that
makes appear respectable the average
performances of pickpockets and
thieves.

The LEGISLATURE AdiOIlrns.

From the number of measures hand
led the body seems to have worked hard
but there were very few matters of
general Importance disposed of. In the
main their actions were conservative.
Matters which the ADVERTISER regard
ed as of special interest to the people of
this county have been noted from time
to time.
The indications are that the increased
levy of one-half mill for the purpose Of
getting the State on cash basis will be
more than counter balanced by the ad-
ditional appropriations.
