GOVT AND COLD STORAGE.

An investigation is TO be made as to
whether cold storage meats have any
effect or not upon the generation OF
uric acid in the blood. In speaking
OF the tests about to be made, Mr.. vii,
liam L. Curtis says;
There has been a good deal of talk
lately in the newspapers that the in
Icreased prevalence OF certain diseases
caused by uric a i'd, particularly govt
and rheumatism, is due to chemical
action taking place in beef and other
gress has directed the food experts OF
the department of agriculture to make
an investigation of his subject, which
will be undertaken very shortly. DR..
Wiley, chief OF the bureau of chemis
try, and the highest authority on food
in the country. will direct the inquiry,
and the results will be of personal in,

The v~egetarians started the movement.
They contend that chemical action be.
gins in beef and other slaughtered
meats as soon as the blood a Il

freezing. They argue that meats are
placed in cold storage for the purpose
of making them tender. and that this
can only be accomplished by the disin,
tegration of fibers, which is only
a form of decay. While the meats are
undergoing this chemical change they
generate poisCns which produce uric
acid in the system of the consumers
and IL rheumatism, govt and other
diseases, and that all forms of food
preserved beyond their natural period
of purity are more or less poisonous.
They declare that such diseases were
not anywhere neal so common before
the practice of curing meats in cold
storage became general.
"Dr. Wiley will not commit himself
in advance of his investigation, but
will go into it entirely unprecedented,
He suggests, however, that so many
factors enter into the ~etiology of govt
that it would be very unscientific for
anyone. in a wholesale way, to ascribe

THE BILL PASSED.

Word from Washington is to the eff
feet that the bill opening the greater
portion of the Shoshone indian reser.
walton to settlement has passed both
houses of congress. our senators being
able to ecure unanimous consent for
that purpose. The opening has been
delayed till June. 1906. but this is to
the great advantage o. the people who
will go there to settle. as by that time
railroad facilities to the reservation
will be completed. Both the Burling-
ton n the Northwestern are pushing
forward with their work and promise
to be in shape to handle the traffic at
the time of the opening.
There is more thai three-Quarters
of a million acres of the land to be
thrown open and of this probably one,
third is susceptible of irrigation and
cultivation. 1t is not a poor mans
project. There is none of il that can
be farmei without irrigation and it
will doubtless cost in the neighborhood
of twenty dollars per acre to success
fully reclaim the land. II will there
fore be necessary for those who &c
there to have some means to begin
with. in order hat they may carry
themselves for at least one veal with

before water could be delivered TO the
land owners. but When it did come il
would be in the most reliable n per
manent form and the payments for the
irrigation project would be so reason
able that the farmers and ranchmen
would have little difficulty in meeting
the obligation.
But no matter how the land is re
claimed, the settlement of the reserva
ton will be OF vast benefit to the state
The rush tina will come because OF
the extensive advertising the railroads
will do prior to the opening will give
us great notoriety throughout the ma
ton and the people in hat rush will
spread out over the entire state and
will engage in the various industries
already established n aid in the de
velopment Of our latent resources.
The fight for the opening OF this
reservation has been a ~protracted one
and it has been no child's play for our
able representatives at Washington,
In the house Mr.. Mondell came near sc
curing its passage at the last session,
hut the opposition of the secretary OF
the interior defeated his purpose. He
came home confident. however, that he
would be able to secure its passage al
this session and his judgment proved
good. In the senate Saturday, at the
request of Senator Clark. unanimous
consent was given for the Considera
ton Of the bill and it was passed.

II CASH SYSTEM.

Attorney w. B. Ross of Cheyenne
last Friday evening read a paper be
fore the Young Mems Literary club
of that city on the credit system. He
took the ground that high prices in
western towns are largely due to the
system Of giving credit TO every Tom.
Dick and Harry who is inclined to ask
for it. He maintained that merchants
toners, giving cash customers a liberal
discount. But the system he really IA,
vored was cash to all. If the merchants
should all adopt the cash system. he
believed they could make more money
and at the same time save to their Gus
toners a vast sum every year.
There is no question as to the wis
dom of the position taken by Mr.. Ross.
II ali our merchants would combine
and adopt an absolutely cash system,
the resulting benefits would be great
indeed. Aside from the fact that they
would be enabled to dispense with con-
siderable help in the way of bookkeep
ers. collectors, etc, they would saw
all the losses now sustained through
the ne'er do-wells and chronic dead
beats. Such a system would be an act

ual cash in hand. 1t would instill hab
its of thrift and economy among the
masses and put such cities as Laramie
or a basis absolutely beyond the reach
of panic conditions. The cash system
means safety.
But it is very hard for one merchant
tc establish the cash. system without
the cooperation of all other merchants
in the same line OF business. There
must be unity Of action.
At the present time we understand
the merchants of Laramie and Chey-
enne have an association which par
tally reaches the evil, but it is not suf-
fciently comprehensive to meet all
The ag%gravating conditions. The only
absolutely fair system to all the pec-
pie is the ash system.

Recovered Money Ate by Goat.

Probably one Of the oldest claims
ever made on a bank is recorded as
having been made against the Nation
al Bank of Belgium. An old peasant
woman had laid on the grass a Jacket
containing bank notes of small de-
nomination for $24O in the pocket, and
while she was at work her pet goat
had got at the notes and eaten them.
The animal was killed, and the chewed
paper recovered from the stomach was
submitted in support OF a claim for
compensation. which the bank paid
after verifying the facts by chemical
analysis and other inquiry.
