BEGINNING THE NEW YEAR
RIGHT.

The Western H~ousekeeper, a bright,
newsy monthly published at Missoula,
Montana, in its January number pub
fishes a number of opinions by COVER
nors. Governor Brooks of Wyoming
contributes the following, under the
caption, beginning the New Year
Right"
See Surope if you will, but see
America first is the appeal sent
broadcast over western America by the
Commercial club of Salt Lake City;
N this body of progressive business
men has called a conference of western
City on January 20, 1906. That's what l
call starting the new year right. This
voice crying out in the new west is
certainly timely. A goodly per cent OF
the two hundred million dollars squan-
dered annually by Americans travelling
in Europe should be diverted into west
ern channels. We have grander seen
cry, a healthier climate, more inter-
esting Industrial problems and a more
congenial people than can be found
abroad. Let us advertise the fact. Let
us proclaim from the housetops the
great truth that a few weeks vacation
in our mighty mountains will manu-
facture more rich red blood than all
ocean voyages; that new railroads COW
er the arid west like a monster spider
web, affording ready access TO inter
esting resorts heretofore inaccessible
to the average traveller; that nowhere
on earth can be found so awe
inspiring or attractions so innumerable
n fascinating; that the people are
broad-minded, generous and hospitable;
that the evolution of the west affords
a broader field for study, reflection and
entertainment than can be found else
where on earth; that now is the accept
ed time, for the government as well
as the people individually and collec-
lively, on mountain and plain, by lake
and river, in city and hamlet, are doing
mighty deeds which would astound and
fascinate the traveller. Let us see
America first and the western world in
particular, thereby gaining wealth,
health and happiness and a higher APP
probation of our own glorious nation"

SHAW WILL STAY.
Agrees to Remain at Head of Treasury
Department for Present.

Washington, Jan. 15.-At the regular
meeting of the cabinet the president
asked Secretary Shaw to remain at the
head of the treasury department until
March 4, 1907, and Shaw agreed to do
SO. More than a year ago Shaw let it
be known that he expected to retire
from the cabinet in February of this
year, exactly four years from his ap-
pointment to succeed Lyman j. Gage.
The president did not understand that
this was the secretary's intention I'M
til some casual reference was made to
it a few weeks ago, and then he lost
no time in urging the secretary 20 re-
main in the cabinet until the end of
the present session of congress, and as
much longer as he will consent to
do so.

MERIT,
Says Mills, A Druggist, Is What Makes
Vinol Popular.

THE intrinsic merit of this new cod
liver oil preparation, Vinol," said Mills,
A Druggist graduate of the Philadel.
phia College Of Pharmacy, sis begin
ming to be realized by the people of
Laramie. OF course in my position a.
a druggist, l have seen innumerable
medicines and proprietary articles in
troduced, but never in my long evpe-
rience have | ever known or heard of a
medicine that would produce more ben
eficial results than VIEol.
Il attribute this to the fact that vinol
contains in a concentrated form all the
medicinal elements contained in cod
liver oil, actually taken from fresh
Gods livers, but without a drop of oil
or grease to ~nauseate and upset the
stomach, and it contains no sickening
drugs.
"A prominent physician writes: Vim
oil is the most valuable preparation of
cod liver oil known to medicine. 1t is
of untold value to create strength and
build up the general system of old peo-
pie, weak women and children, and it
has no equal for hard colds, bronchial
and all lung Affections
There are hundreds of people right
mere in Laramie who can testify that
there is nothing equal to Vinol to make

HAVE REGARD FOR
DUTY TO STATE
REASON FOR GREAT INFLUENCE
WELDED BY WYoMINe'S REP
RESENTATIvEs IN SENATE.
of ST. Louis Globe-Democrat
Upon Expressions of Jealousy for
Positions Occupied by Senators
Warren and Clark by New York
Daily Newspaper.


Washington, ID. c., Jan. 15.-The fol
lowing editorial comment made in a
recent issue of the St. Louis Globe
Democrat, attracts some attention
here:
"One OF the New York papers is
lamenting the fact that Wyoming,
which has only 100000 population, mas
more influence in the senate than has
New York, with its population Of
5000, 00G. Wyoming's senators are
Francis e. Warren and Clarence d.
Clark, Both are republicans, as are
New York's members, Thomas c..
Plat and Chauncey NJ. Depew. But
the Wyoming men have better places
on the committees than are assigned
to the New Workers, and they are far
more prominent in the business of leg
islation.
There are several reasons why
Wyoming's senators have a far greater
influence in the government of the
country than is exerted by the New
Workers. One of these is that they
are younger INT more active in the
practical work of legislation. Another
is that they have an UNNECESSARILY
greater regard for the interests of their
state and section than Plat and De-
pew have for any legitimate activity
il national development. They take
an interest in governmental affairs of
all sorts, help to frame measures which
they think will benent their region and
the country, and work, talk and vote
for them. Not n of these things
can be said of the New Workers, for,
although Depew occasionally makes a
speech in his chamber, it excites not
the slightest attention from himself or
anybody else"

The removal of Mr.. Joseph Cahill OF
Laramie county from the position of
county clerk Is a sad event in the his
tory of the state. Mr.. Cahill is a young
man of unusual ability and has ever
been considered an accommodating
gentleman. His one besetting sin ap-
pears to have been that he could not
live within his means. A store on the

ANCIENT ANIMAL HAD
TWO SETS OF HORNS

Mr.. Reed, curator of the museum, has
recently mounted the skull of a titano-
therium which vas found in Carbon
county in 1905. This skull is peculiar
in that it had two pair of horns, one
pair OF the nose and one on the back
of the head. By the side of this large
skull the curator has placed the skull
of a small cat, Dinictis Cyclops, which
was presented to the museum by Judge
Parmelee, of Buffalo. The cat skull
was found on Thunder creek in Con-
verse county, and is an almost perfect
specimen of an extinct species.

Bill and the WInsOme Ones

There is a town in Indiana named
Monroe which, with a population of less
than 500, is the home of seventy-two
winsome widows. OF these six dozen
rehcts on the half shell, all lost him
through untimely death a one, and
he got a divorce-but was too far gone,
poor cuss, and died soon after. This
singular situation certainly opens up
a new question in sociology-if not
physiology as well. In the absence of
charts or photographs or other inside
information one cannot well attempt a
diagnosis of the malady which has pro
Ven so fatal to so many men; but
there's no law agin a fellow wondering
whether 'twere better to bunch along
with the happiness we now have or
live in Sioux Falls a little while n
then move to Monroe. What matters
haste, if n dies happy?-Douglas

WHAT STRIKE COST.
Chicago Obliged to Divert Money
Needed For improvements Into
PAYMENTS For Police Service.

It will never be known definitely
just what the recent strike of the
teamsters cost the people Of Chicago
That the total would run we'll into
the millions, however, is a conserva.
tive estimate, judging from the single
item Of the expense to the municipal
ity for extra police protection.
Some time ago it was discovered
that the city could add $4,000 900 to
its bonded debt. and the people au.
thorized an issue Of bonds to this
amount for specific public Improve
ments. The end Of the teau1stess, strike
found $4,000, 900 of these bonds still
unsold and an emergency strike debt
Of some $365,00 To pay this bill the
| council has retired the 81, 000, 900 of
bonds and ordered their reissue in such
form that they may be used for general
corporate purposes.
Thus 1865, 000-or the estimated
cost of lowering the two river tun-
nels-goes to pay extra policemen for
defending the lives Of citizens and pro-
tecting their property while a supine
city administration practically gave
license to the striking teamsters to
make the ordinary business OF peace
full citizens full Of turmoil and haz-
ard.
Money that the people intended to
go into sorely needed permanent I'm
provements has been diverted to meet
the cost of lawlessness that never
should have gone to the extent It did.
The cost of this one strike Is the
1865, 900 the city pays for extra police
service, plus what the county has to
nav for snecial deputy SheriffS. plus
the loss to merchants, railways. man.
.,~facturers, etc., in business; ptls lost
wages to the strikers, plus q dozen
other items that 1t would be difficult
to enumerate. And this only en-
braces money cost. 1t takes no &C
count of inconvenience to citizens, OF
assaults on citizens, Of the killing Of
citizens.
1t is a tremendously expensive thing
to fight a labor war in a great city.

of Oklahoma and Indian Territory.
Difference of opinion does exist as to
whether the two territories should be
admitted as M state or whether
they should be admitted as separate
states, but on the main proposition
the preparedness of these two terri
tories for statehood-there is little
dissenting opinion. In fact, the pre-
vailing view is that statehood has
already been too long delayed In the
case of Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory. 1t is almost disgraceful, we'll
informed public men are saying, that
these two progressive territories
should be held back simply because
Of disagreement as to whether those
unprepared territories, Arizona and
New Mexico, should be admitted. 1t
is high time, many men declare, for
congress to cut loose from the Ari-
IONA and New Mexico proposition, no
matter what form it may take, and
admit Oklahoma and Indian Territory.

Mexico-New Congressional Align
ment on Question.
The assembling of congress will
bring new blood in both the House
and Senate. There is pfOmise of a
long and very important session.
New policies are to be Discussed and
material changes in existing economic
conditions are to be proposed. Coming
upon the eve of a congressional cleo.
ton, the session will feel The effects, to
a certain extent, of political consid-
erations.
The admission of new states to the
Union will be one of the hold-oyer
questions to occupy the attention of
the new congress. 1t appears now
that there will be a decided shifting
of position on the statehood problem,
some new lights having davvned since
statehood was discussed at the last
session.
II is understood that the committees
on territories of both House and SEN
ate are inclined to stand by the old
program of creating two states out of
the four territories, but 1t will not be
a surprise If this program fails to
meet the approval of a majority If the
republican senator's and representa-
tiyes. Since the question of state
hood for these four southwest terri
tories was brought into congress
many senators and representatives
have personally investigated the exist.
ing conditions in the territories. and
the result is that public sentiment
among public men is crystallizing n
favor Of the plan of admitting Okla
homa and Indian Territory to state
hood and, if necessary, letting Arizo
ma and New Mexico wait.
There seems to be few dissenting
voices against the proposed admission

is published in these columns, COM
ments upon these two land laws.
The Communication clause originally
provided that after eight months OF
residence on a homestead claim a
man could commute" by paying to
the government $1.25 an acre and get
immediate title to his land. After a
number of years of operation it was
conceded that this clause had opened
the door for much land requirement
without settlement, and amid a great
blare of trumpets, Congress, in a
spasm of virtue, extended the time to
fourteen months. What has been the
result of this amendment? The OPP
ponents of the repeal of the commute.
ton clause have presented specific
reasons why this law should not be
touched; that the entryman needs to
"prove up and get title to his land
| so that he can mortgage his property
and with the money buy groceries,
| tools. ETC., with which to work his
farm, which may sound well, but the
fact seems to remain that the great
bulk OF the committed homesteads are
not to-day homes.

could save this amount.
The provisions of the desert land
act, and the recommendation for the
amendment of which is included in the
following report will be discussed in
next weeks article.
Communication Clause of the Home
stead Act.
In the preceding report a state
ment was made that our investiga-
tons respecting the operations of the
Communication clause of the homestead
law were still in progress. We were
not at that time prepared to recon-
mend its repeal. Investigations car
ried on during the past year have
convinced US that prompt action
should be taken in this direction and
that, in the interest or settlement, tue
Communication clause should be great
ly modified.
\ careful examination of the dis
trictS where the Communication clause
is put to the most use shows that
there has been a rapid increase of the
use of this e%xpedient for passing
public lands into the hands of cor
porations or large landowners. The
object of the homestead law was pri-
marily to give to each citizen, the
head of a family, IN amount of land
up to 160 acres. agricultural in char
acter so that homes would be created
in the wilderness. The Communication
clause, added at a later date, was
undoubtedly intended to assist the
honest settler, but like many other
well-intended acts its original intent
has been gradually perverted until it
is apparent that a great part of all
committed homesteads remains upin-
habited. In other words, under the
communication clause the number of
patents furnishes no index to the
number of new homes.
To prove this statement 1t Is only
necessary to drive through a country
where the Communication clause has
been largely applied. Field after
field is passed without a sign of per-
manent habitation OF Improvement
