ON THE PASTURE LANDS-CREAT
CROWDS FLOCK TO NEW LAND
OF PROMISE
BIDDING CLOSES SATURDAY
Expect that Thirty thousand People
will Offer Bids

Lawton, Okla, Dec. 4.-The
opening Of the 5os.ooo acres Of
pasture land comprising the former
Kiowa, Comanche and Apache In
dian reservations in southwest Ok
lahoma began yesterday with the
reception OF sealed bids at the To-
cal land Office. Thousands OF peo-
pie from the northern and eastern
states are here and 1t estimated
that the number of bids received
will aggregate not less than 10000
Bids will be received up to
O'Clock p. m. Saturday, and the
opening of the bids will begin
next Monday morning. A detail
of officials and clerks from the
general land Office and the Indian
bureau at Washington are here to
supervise the opening. The lands
are opened under the homestead
laws and any person eligible to ac-
quire public lands under these
laws may bid on the tracts. The
minimum price set by the govern
ment is IS per acre.
The ''big pasture comprises
7,53r tracts subject to sale. OF
this number, r3a tracts are leased
for agricultural purposes, the
leases expiring in 1908. 1910. The
rules governing the sale of these
lands provide that the purchaser Of
leased tract other than the lessee
himself, must wait until the expir

fore making settlement upon the
land, but that the purchaser, in
stead Of the Indian, shall receive
the rental Of the land.
The rules Of the sale, which deny
the right Of relinquishing dear to
the heart of the land speculator,
insure the purchase Of the land by
bona 6de settlers. Those In posi-
tion to know declare that while
few favored tracts may bring as
high as $40 or $a5 an acre. the
! average price will be about Sro. A
few months ago it was generally
believed that the average price
would be from SIS to $40 an acre,
but the bare and bleak appearance
of the pasture and the recent SHOWS
and cold weather have driven away
many prospective purchasers. 1t
is certain that no more desolate
place could be imagined than the
''big pasture as it now IS, the cold
winds sweeping unrestraincd across
an apparent desert wholly deviod
of vegetation, save for a few stunted
trees and bushes that cringe in an
apologetic manner on the banks of
the rayines with no signs Of habita-
tion except for the tents and prairie
schooners of the homeseekers
That the miracle of Transformation
will soon commence, however, no
one doubts who has witnessed the
wonderful changes brought about
in few years in other portions Of
the new state. The man Of judg.
ment and nerve who pins his faith
to the future Of the 'big pasture"
win almost certainly win his re-

PENNIES FOR A COLLEGE.
One Hundred Thousand Workers Each
Give Penny to Ruskin College.

The British trade unions had not in
their origin any direct concern with
education, says the FortnightIy Re-
view. But it is fact of no ordinary
significance that some of the leading
unions should be taking very great
interest in the higher education of the
workman.
For the last three years some 100,-
coo workingmen, members of the
Amalgamated Society of Engineers,
have made three levies of one penny
each to help on the work of Ruskin
college at Oxford. This levy pro-
duces over e3O0 year, and by means
of it six engineers are maintained for
a years course of study at the COL
lege.
Smaller but substantial sums have
been contributed to the same institu-
ton by the London Society of Com
positors, by the Lanarkshire Miners
County Union, by the Amalgamated
Association of Beamers, Twisters and
Drawers, by the Derbyshire miners
and the Durham miners, while a large
number of other societies appear
among the donors and subscribers.

ALASKAN CABLE is BUSY.
Line to Be DupIexed and 200 More
Miles Added.

Few people who have not been over
the ground have any conception Of the
wonderful development of Alaskan in
terests and trade. For instance, the
} numerical receipts from the Alaskan
I-ble and telegraph lines for the
month of July amounted to $24. 600
The rapid increase in the demands
upon the system will be met by the
government by duplexing the cable
The cable ship Burnside, which is
10 install the duplexing apparstus at
the Alaskan end Of the cable, will
carry about 200 miles of new cable
for the extension of the service to
ketchikan. This extension will be
effected by tapping the lines from Sit
ka to Juneau at Cape Fanshaw. From
that point a branch line will be ex-
tended down the WrangeI, then to
Hadley on Prince of Wales island, and
then to Ketchikan, which is only go
miles from FCrt Simpson, the English
town which is to be the terminus of
the Grand Trunk and Pacific railroads.
1t is believed that this &C ditional
200 miles Of cable will largely increase
the cable receipts, as it taps q coun-
try rich in mines, fishery and canning
industries and greatly in need of daily
communication with the United
States. 1t is expected that this new
line will be completed By November l.

COAT OF PAINT SAVED Bank.
Clever Device Stopped Run That
Would Have Been Disastrous.

Runs on banks. as all the world
Knows. are often stopped or restricted
n the oldest ways.
A rich bank knew that a run was
10 set in on a certain Monday morn
ing-for it had been robbed of some
postage stamps on Saturday night,
and the robbery had been exaggerated
in the newspaper, reports-and if this
run was not kept within reasonable
limits the bank would hive to close
its doors. II had plenty OF money, but
not plenty of cash. 1t needed "a hours
time.
Before sunrise on Mondf = morning
man put a fresh coat of paint on the
front doors of the bank, on the wall
panels, and on the counters The re-
suit was that the people who made
the run on Monday made rather a
walk of it. They wanted their money,
but they rushed no one On the con-
trary, they came on with caution and
deliberation. So careful were they
lest they get paint on their clothes
that it took longer to pay off one of
them than it would have taken or
dinarily to pay five.
This is one Of many odd tricks
whereby, in a run, bank has saved
itself from wreck.

believe that ell the wonderful achieve
ments of the nineteenth century-the
railroad, the telegraph, the telephone,

Paint, in a certain sense, is a minor
matter, yet it gives beauty, healthful-
ness and durability to our dwellings,
Fifty years ago painting was a serious
proposition. a luxury for the owners
of stately mansions who could afford
the expense Of frequent renewals. To-
day ready mixed paint is SO cheap, so
good, and SO universal that no house
owner has an excuse for not keeping
his property well painted.
A small thing, indeed; yet several
hundred large factories, employing
thousands OF chemists and skilled
workmen, are running every day in
the year to keep our houses fresh,
clean and wholesome.
A small thing, yet can of good
ready mixed paint, such as one may

bodies the study OF generations of
Tkilled chemists, the toll Of a thou
sand workmen in mill. laboratory and
factory, and the product of d long
series of special machinery invented
and designed just to make that can
OF paint and to furnish us an infinite
variety of tints, colors and shades.
1t was q wonderful century, that
nineteenth of our era, and not the
least of it's wonderful gifts was that

restore the family fortune. They
argued that the medicine which was
SO good for their woman friends and
neighbors was equally good for the
women of the whole world.
The Pinlzhams had no money, and
little credit. Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were stepped on the stove,
gradually filling a gross of bottles.
Then came the question of selling
it. for always before they had given
it away freely. They hired a job
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the medi-
cine, now called Lydia E. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Pinkham sons in
Boston, New York, and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties of
the medicine were, TO q great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used it
recommended it to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the fam
lily had saved enough money to COM
mcnce newspaper advertising and from
that time the growth and success of
the enterprise were assured, until to-
day Lydia y Pinl1ham and her Vege-
table Compound have become house
CNCINNICTG,
tons of roots and herbs are used annu-
ally in its manufacture.
Lydia e. Pinkham herself did not
live to see the great success of this
work. She passed TO her reward years
ago, but not till she had provided
! means for continuing her work as
effectively as she could have done it
herself.
During her long and eventful expe-
rieDce she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful to pre-
| serve q record OF every case that came to
her attention. The case of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice
and there were thouSands-received
careful study. and the details, includ-
ing symptoms. treatment and results
were recorded for future reference, and
to-day these records, together with
hundreds of thousands made since. are
available to sick women the world
over, and represent vast collabora-
ton. of information regarding the
treatment of woman's ills, which for
authenticity and accuracy can hardly
be equaled in any library in the
world.
With Lydia z. Pinkham worked her
daughter in law, the present Mrs.
| Pinllham. She was carefully instructed
in all her hard-won knowledge, and
for years she assisted her in her vast
correspondence.
To her hands naturally fell the
direction of the work when its origina-
| tor passed away. For nearly twenty
five years she has continued it, and
nothing in the work shows when the
first Lydia z. Pinllhan dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother of large family, took
it up. With women assistants, some as
capable as herself, the present Mrs.
Pinkham continues this great work. and
probably from the Office of no other
person have SO many women been ad-
vised how to regain health. Sick wo-
mon, this advice is ''Yours for Health

for it.

thetic nature.
In 1S43 she married Isaac Pinkham.
a builder and real estate operator. and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in a physician only in specially
urgent cases. By tradition and eX-
perience many of them gained n won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods OF
all kinds; so, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
eff the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,

Chief of these was a rare combina-

hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this SO far was done freely. with

labor of love.
