Whereas, There IL now pending be-
fore the Congress Of the United States
. bill providing for the repeal Of all
existing desert land laws; and,
Whereas. 1t 10 confidently believed
that the campaign for such repeal is
being conducted largely in the inter
ests OF the land grant railroads for
the purpose of excluding from settle
ment all lands other than railroad
'ands; and,
Whereas. The present desert land
laws facilitate the requirement OF
homes by certain of our citizens by
reclaiming and developing numerous
small intermountain valleys that can
not be reclaimed under any other law;
and,
Whereas. The federal land laws
nows now on our statute books have
been Of great benefit in the develop
ment OF this state and have operated
satisfactorily wherever their provis-
ions have been carried out In good
faith; and,
Whereas. We believe that any
change in the present desert land laws
Of the United States would be detri-
mental to the great intermountain re-
gion and would especially retard the
development Of our state; therefore,
be 1t
Resolved. That we earnestly protest
against the passage of said bill and
against any interference at this time
with the desert land laws of the
United States. And, further. we di-
rect that a certified copy of this men,
orial be forthwith sent to our senators
and representatives in Congress"

bled:
Your memorialists, the Fifteenth

Won OF storage reservoirs for free
stock water, upon the unoccupied pub
lie lands of the United States and the
withdrawal from entry of certain lands
under the provisions thereof, has been
and will be in the future of great ben
eft in promoting the live stock indus
try in the West. Believing as we do
that the act should have provided for
the privilege Of allowing springs and
water seeps to have been cleaned out
and fenced. and the waters conducted
ON the outside of said reservoirs or
troughs and In less quantities than
now required by the regulation Of the
Interior department and that the same

"The provision would lead to the
preservation Of much stock water, and
In the opinion Of your memorialists
would in no way interfere with the dis
posal Of agricultural areas; but would
prevent in q great measure the utter
destruction Of many good springs and
sources Of water supply by preventing
their being entirely destroyed by the
tramping Of range stock; therefore.

Resolved, That our members OF
Congress be urged to secure the pas

ATHLETES realize the importance OF

If the slightest catarrhal condition
of lungs or stomach is allowed to re-
main, neither digestion nor sleep will
be rength-sustaining
Those who lead very active lives, like
athletes, with good muscular development,
find the spring months especially trying.
Athletes every where praise Peruna
because they, of all men, appreciate
the value of tonic that dspels phys

The vocation Of some men may allow
them to endure the depressing feelings in
