for the laboring men to go into poH-

The plan is an excellent one and l
would commend it to the worklngmeh

There are great opportunities for
labor at the present time but the ef-

or llttleness is displayed, then instead
of advancement, there will be a recess

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

ment has sued to recover part of this
land, and still other and more impor.
tant proce adings are to come, which, it
is believed. will lead to one of the
greatest legal battles in which the gov

Witnesses have charged the general
land Office and Senators Warren and
Clark Of Wyoming with completely in
Wyoming land frauds, and much of
the most important testimony regard
ing the illegal acquisition of land by
the Hartman interests was wrung by
the commissions lawyers from d. O..
Clark, superintendent of the Union Pa
ciic's main subsidiary coal company.
Among the witnesses was Special
Agent Meyendorff, who was engaged
in an investigation under Secretary
Hitchcock. He declared that after he
had unearthed the land frauds Senator
Warren had warned him that he had
incurred the enmity of the Union Pa
eific and tried to induce him to stop
the investigation and leave>the state.
as his inquiries might bring about the
defeat of Senator CLARK. Refusing to
yield, he was suspended and afterward
transferred to Los Angeles.
In addition the revelations have led
to the finding of several indictments
by a grand jury at Salt Lake. They
include, it is said. charges against the
general land office and two United
States senators, which, it is said, infiu-
enced President Roosevelt to recon-
mend tina. the government coal lands
