HOME FROM WYOMING.
Our Townsman, David MalIoy, Becomes
pOssessOr of Land in the Far
West.
SHOsHONE RESERVATION OPENED

Comrade David Malloy, of this
place, returned home last Friday
after an absence of a month, du
ring which time he made a trip IT,
Wyoming. Davie was one of the
fortunate ones who drew quar-.
ter section of government land on
the Shoshone Indian Reservation,
lately thrown open to the public
for homesteadlng.
For the sake OF preventing con-
fusion, the government required
those who wish to homestead, to
file their names. These names
we're thrown into a that" and a
number drawn out not to exceed
the number of quartersectlons IN
the reservation. The drawing be.
gan on the 10th of July, and when
24SS names had been drawn, Mr..
Malloy's name had not been reach
ed; but the next grab brough the
envelope that C N tanned the name
of our townsman, and he was &C
cordingly notified to come on and
pick out his 1arm. H. went. He
saw. He returned. He dbl not
bring the farm along home with
him but he picked out a mighty
NICE one, two and half miles
from railroad, drove sharpstake
down into it good and hal d, and
that will hold it for six months.
Ia the meantime, he expects to
return, and finish up the neces.

The reservation thrown open to
settlers, has an approximate area

heit, and a mean elevation of 1900
feet above sea level.
While there has been a draw
ing, and lots of the land dlstribut
ed there is much of it left. Many
Of those who drew, did not appear
to demand their claims; hence af.
ter sixty days from the 18th day
of August, any person who does
not already possess more than
100 acres of land, or who has not
previously homestea led, &c, may
go and select any laid not at that
time occupied.
After the land has been select
ed and entered, the entry man
must proceed to homestead 1t.
First, he must, within six months
after making entry, establish his
actual residence in a house upon
the land. Then he must reside
upon and cultivate the land con-
tinuously for period of five
years. In addia aon to this, if his
entry is made within two years
after the opening, he must pay
for the land er rtered ct the rate of
one dollar and fifty cents an acre.
This must be paid, fifty cents per
acre at the time of making entry,
and twenty-five ,cents per acre
each year thereafter, until all is
paid. If, however, after a con-
tinuous residence Of fourteen
months, commencing as above
stated, the entryman elects TO pay
the entire balance then remaining
imp Nd on the land, he can do so
and thereby relieve himself of
the necessity OF a longer resi-

SEMI YEARLY PRIMARIES.
New Law Goes into Effect on the First of
November, Totally Changing Ex-
isting Methods.
THE STATE PAYS ALL THE EXPENSES.


AS has been noted IN these col
umns frequently since the extra
session of the assem- bly,, the new
uniform primary act, which will
go INTO effect on Novembe I, will
totally change existing methods
of making nominations. The su-
pervlslon Of such work will be en-
tlrely IN the hands of the county
commissioners, through election
boards. simultaneously, the pri.
mares will be held by all parties
at the regular election places, the
regular election boards having
charge of them. In other words,
the same regulations in force for
elections, will be the rule at the
primaries. The primaries must
be held; there is no getting away
from them, and an election board
which fails to hold them will be
punishable under the law. The
election officers will be paid Ger.
tain sums and make returns to
the court house aS is done in gen.
eral elections.
The expense OF the primaries
under this law, will be paid by
the county commissioners, and
tney will be reimbursed by the
state.
There will be two primaries un.
der the act. One will be known
as tire winter primary and the
other as the summer primary.
All nominees not made by a state
and tional convert tion will be
chosen in their districts, the same
as candidates for senatorial or
congressional honors. This does
away with the delegate system
except at state conventions. The
law, however, does not prevent
any ASSOCIATION of electors, not
constituting party, from noml-
mating a candidate or candidates
by nomination papers.
The winter primary will be held
the fourth Saturday before the
February election, and viii be for
nomination of candidates for Of
fees of municipal or local char.
acter. the other primary will be
held on the first Saturday in
June, except ia years when
president of the United States Is
to be elected, and then it will be
held on the second Saturday Ia
April. The hours will be from 2
o'clock IN the afternoon to s IN the
evening, and all saloons and il.
quor stores will have to keep clos
ed from l to 9 o'clock.
The naming Of candidates for
primaries will be done through
com mmittees, the candidates hav,
ing to present to the secretary of
the commonwealth or com mission
ers petitions signed by qualified
electors of the dlstrict which they
aspire to present or wherein they
reside. The law specifies the
mum ber of signers required. For
candidates for nominations for

tor, there Will have to be 200 sign.

FROM TRUSTS.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.


NEW YORK, July 22.-Representa-
tive James S. Sherman and his asso-
ciate of the Republican National Con-
gresional Committee have decided to
appeal to Republicans throughout the
Union to contribute 81 each to the
partys campaign fund. In pursuance
OF this policy the committee will begin
Monday the mailing OF many thousands
of letters to Republicans in all sections
Of the country, asking them to con-
tribute 81 each. The appeal points out
that the committee intends to make the
chief issue of it's campaign for the
election of a Republican majority in
the next House Of Representatives the
personality and achievements of Pres
ident Roosevelt.
In adopting this policy of collecting
its campaign funds by popular sub
scription the committee is establishing
a new precedent. Heretofore its cam
paign funds have been made UP largely
by contributions from large corpora
tions.
Owing to the attacks by the Presi-
dent upon the Standard Oil Company,
the beef trust, the more important rail-
road systems and other corporations,
Sherman and his associates have been
told that they may expect no contribu-
tions from these sources this year.

used to deliver many packag
of whisky belonging to the re-
lief stores TO various persons in the
city.
The nurses were given half dozen
bottles of the liquor al time by some
persons in charge of the stores, it is
said. These were done up in neat
packages and the unsuspecting nurses
were innocent agents of the grafters
This clew may throw some light on
the disappearance of liquor that has
been the subject of so much scandal
1t is known that one of these nurses
delivered a package containing six
UP in the municipality. Another nurse
turned over a similar quantity of the
stuff to dealer. Her suspicious were
aroused and she waited till the pack
age was opened and discovered that
1T contained whisky.
More than 100 volunteer nurses were
employed at the Presidio Hospital II
each one of these made at least one trip
liver, the entire forty-seven cases of
missing whisky could have been dis
posed of handily and without arousing
any suspicious.
The volunteer nurses were not al
lowed to leave the hospital without
permission from those in charge. When
one asked to be allowed to go down
town she was granted leave on condi-
said. The nurses invariably agreed to
do this, for the work at the hospital
was monotonous at times and they
forged for some recreation.
The nurses were not burdened with
the task of collecting any money. All
they were asked to do was to deliver
the goods They were not told what
the mysterious packages contained and
had it not been for the curious young
lady this phase of the scandal might
never have been brought to light
Those to whom the nurses delivered
the whisky were expecting it. Accord
ing to the story the nurses simply
turned the packages over to the vari-
Gus parties. They were not bothered
about securing receipts.
