HOW DONE
Story of Holy Rollers Un,
 doing.

Seattle, May 9.-It was Monday at : a. m. that George Mitchell killed Franz CrefieId, the notorious head of the Holy Roller religious sect, and destroyer of Oregon homes. Among the hundred or so victims of Cretfield's free love lust were the two sisters of Mitchell. One of them left her home, after Crefield had fled from Oregon, to Seattle, to join her seducer. Her brother followed her. He did not search the Queen City long before he met the wrecker of homes and the des- troyer of his sisters on First avenue. Be shot him down as though he were a mad dog, killing him instantly,
 Mitchell's first act when taken to the county jail was to send 8 telegram to Crefield's fsther-in-law, saying:
 ''Got my man. Am in jail"
 This telegram is taken to mean that there was an understanding be- tween the men as to the purpose of Mltchell's mission.

ROOSEVELT FOR TAFT

The Washington Post, and 1t says 1t speaks sdvisedly, announces that Sec rstary Taft will be the administration candidate for president in 1908. It says all the strength of the administration will be thrown to him when the time comes. It says, further, that President Roosevelt will be Tait's secretary ot state, and that the policy of the new administration will be 8 continuation of that of the old,
 The Post says, should Taft be elected president, the Panama canal, the Phil ippinss and all other insular matters will be transferred to the state depart ment, ''and" to use the exact words Theodore Roosevelt will take up, where William Howard Taft left of, the great work of digging the canal, reconstructing and modernizing the Philippines and institutiug an Ameri- can colonial system"
 But this is not all of the Posts an nouncement that Is interesting. It says Roosevelt, Taft and Root form trlumverate that will control the republican party, direct it's policies and name it's candidates for the next quarter of a century. To quote again;
 MT. Roosevelt will be only fifty years old when his present term eI- uires. Mir. Taft will bs only ftty-two and Mir. Root will be sixty-four. They will be the masters of the republican party even after 8 new generation Of voters-the one that now is coming on with it's imagination inaamed by the glories of ROosevelt-has taken the place of the present one. While in absolute sympathy personally, they rep resent intellectual variants that con- verge at a common point and they will do more than any other group of men alive to hold the fighting line of their party intact"
 The Post gives this certificate to its good faith in promulgsting this story which is attracting more attention than any other newspaper article has attracted for long time:
 This is not written iu spirit either of levity or idle speculation. What is here said is based upon knowledge of facts and maturing purposes"

WORKS WONDERS
A Wonderful Compound Cures Piles, | Eczema, Skin Itching, Skin EruptionB, Cuts and Bruises.

Dosn's Ointment is the best skin treatment, and the cheapest, because so little is required to cure. It cures piles after years of torture. It cures Obsti- nate cases of eczema. It cures all skin itching. It cures skin eruptions. It heals cuts, bruises, scratches and abra- sions without leaving a scar. It cures permanently.
 NJ. Sullivan, employed iu the street department of the city, who resides on Water street, at 73S, Portland Greg, says: "Doan's Ointment is without any exception the best preparation on earth for the purposes for which its use is indi- cated and from my own experience l know that it does all that is claimed for it. For two years was troubled with the worst kind of itching and bleeding hemorrhoids. l tried one remedy after another and even sent sent east for 8 well known medicine, and was treaded by physicians, but got no relief until l learned about Doan's Ointment. pre- cured a box aud the first application gave me relief such as I had not eXper- fenced for two years, l continued the treatment for two or three weeks, when I was completely cured, and sinceS then I have been free from the tormenting afiictiOn. Whenever l hear anyone complain of being annoyed with piles l never fail to tell them what to do to get cured I would willingly give S2O for a box rather than to suffer one night like did before l used Deans Oint- ment."

The National Federation for Peoples
Rule, which is composed principally of
labor organizations, favors the initiative
and referendum as a means of destroying
machine and ring rule. The address
which the Federation has issued declares:
Machine rule, which we invite You to
help terminate, is the rule of the few
through the convention system. We, the
people, vote, but do not rule. The trick
is that, while the convention system is so
manipulated that we are misrepresented,
we have been induced to refrain from re-
establishing direct-vote system for pub
lie questions. five realize this we can
quickly and easily regain our SOW
ereiguty."
The issue is to be pushed during the
present campaign, throughout the United
States, modified form of the initiative
and referendum being proposed.

Editor Williams, of the Wing, notes
the MIDLAND's "kick" in reference to
the neglect of the county's road machin-
cry, and takes occasion to remind the
taxpayers that it is not legitimate ex-
penditures that make burdens, but
want of efficient management.
The Wing truly says we need thor
ough reorganization of our whole system
of county administration, as it is nothing
less than a monstrous absurdity to expect
three ordinary men to conduct the affairs
of this county in all its details with any
sort of careful and efficient supervision.
One of the suggestions offered for the
better conduct of county affairs is a Com
missioner from each District, and an open
discussion of the subject is invited.
Meanwhile let the present Board look
after the machinery owned by the county,
and if it has no intention of using it, store
it under shelter until the new order OF
things goes into effect, and it will not be
necessary to purchase an entire new out
fit when the county is ready to proceed
with road mending and building.

Watson's Magazine For September.

In the September number of Watson's
pretty close to the core of American life.
The fiction of the day has been running
little wild, reeking with impossible
adventure, cropping through mazes of in
tricate but artificial psychological
analysis, reveling in the mire and muck
of the underworld, touching now the
fantastic and bizarre, now the slushiest
limits of sentimentality. "The Flight"
by Inex Haynes Gilmore, "Blue
Daisies" by Louise Harden burg Adams,
Mother and Pap Transplanted, by
Abbey E. Beckwith, and "The Bull dog
of Righteousness" by Annie Hin
rchsen will we'll repay the reading
There is also the usual quota OF careful
but independent articles on some of the
vital questions that are more and more
awakening the people to the need of some
change, some revision, some sane remedy
for the commercial and political evils that
make our country byword among the
nations The third installment of Mr.
Watson's Life and Times of Andrew
Jackson" alive with the authors in
teresting personality, bears out the
promise of the earlier chapters. The
last feature of the number is one that
attracts attention first. The hideous old
cover has given way to an artistic and
dignified one that is quite effective in its
combination of brown, blue and white.

Marylands eloquent Senator, Hon.
Isidor Rayner, in giving his views on the
Government ownership of railroads,
which subject has been brought so PROM
inently to the public notice by Bryan in
his New York speech, says it is unconsti-
tutional, the Government having no right,
in the opinion of the eminent United
States Senator, to take over the roads and
extinguish their charters.
And yet these same railroads, by the
repeated violation of every law enacted to
restrain them, and their utter disregard
of the rights of the people, have them
selves to blame for the storm of indigna-
ton which an aroused public is heaping
upon them, and which sees in Gov
eminent ownership and control that con-
certed movement which promises relief
But this policy is so far ahead of the
ideas of the old party politicians that they
cannot grasp it.
President Roosevelt gave the republi-
cans big scare with his Rate bill, it being
too far in advance of the leaders of his
party to find favor with them, and now
Bryan has the moss.back democrats all in
a tremble because he sees the public
ownership issue in the immmediate
future, while they are floundering help
lessly and desperately with the tariff,
which has served as an issue for each
recurring Presidential campaign since
before they were born, and which they
hope, apparently, to make do duty for
years to come, notwithstanding the
changing times have brought new condi-
tons and problems into being, which de-
mand discussion and settlement.

1t is reported that the literary bureau
at Washington, which has been run as
an annex to the democratic campaign,
has been closed by Chairman Taggart,
because of the public ownership doctrine,
which threatens to be forced upon the
leaders by Bryan. The fact of the matter
is the bureau threshed over the old straw
so long that it has outlived its usefulness,
and not only needs new life at the head
of it but new issues to put before the peo-
pie before it can hope for effective results.

Government Not interested.

"An item has appeared recently
in several Colorado papers to the
effect that the government has be-
gun construction of dam in the
Las Animas river for the reclaina-
ton of thousands of acres of arid
land in that region. Reclamation
service officials say this statement is
entirely erroneous as the government
has no interest in or connection with
any engineering work on this stream.
The only irrigation project Of the
reclamation service in Colorado is
in the Unconpahgre valley"
The above dispatch from Washing
ton shows that the government has
not taken any steps toward reclama-
ton work in the great Picket Wire
water shed, and the Bent and Prov
ers Canal has the unoontested first
right to the storage water Of that

President Roosevelt Rsvokes Order
Removing Lamar Land onlce.
Washington. May 18.-(Special.)
Notice was to day given by the
commissioner of the general land Of
fee that the president has revoked
the order OF Nov. Is, 1905, which
directed that June 30, 1906, the land
office at Lamar should be closed and
the Bent land district merged with
Pueblo.
Since the order consolidating the
districts was issued the land business
at Lamar has increased and entries
are being made at the rate of 1000
per annum. This is deemed suffi-
cient to justify continuing the La
mar office, and this will be done.
The above special to the Denver
Republican conveys good news to
the people of the Bent land district
as the removal of the land office to
Pueblo which would have taken
plac on June Both meant great in
convenience and extra expense to
them Just at time when the inte
rest in the public lands is becoming
greater than at any time in nineteen
years. The Lamar land Office has

Settling Up The Dry Lands.

Under the fresh impulse given
farming on the 3d. called arid or
"dry" lands by the Campbell system
the lands in the eastern part Of Col
orado are fast passing into the
hands of settlers, and if the present
rate of settlement is maintained for
. ear longer there will be little gov
ernment acreage left for homestead
ers. Also the lands lying in the
Kansas branch of the Union Pacific
have been bought up almost COM
pletely by spectators in sntlcipa-
ton of a demand from actual settlers,
so that the chance for farmers to
procure lands in eastern Colorado at
first hands bids fair to soon be re-
moved.
Irrigators and others who have
lived long in the state and accepted
the early day verdict that farming
without irrigation could never be
made to pay are not disposed to
change their attitude toward the set
tlement of these stretches and such
are inclined to view with disfsvor
this coming of the farmers. They
believe that in short time the lands
will again be deserted and that the
people who are now taking them up
will suffer from this later day e1.
pertinent in farming as did the
rain belters" who rushed onto them
two decades ago.
There really is good reason to be-
.ieve that instead of meet with severe
dissppointments the later comers to
the lands will profit in some degree
form their occupancy. A few may
be misled into expecting too much
and too early returns, but there can
be no question about the Campbell
system being an important discovery
in soil tillage, and when rightly un-
derstood and followed it is working
wonders with the lands of little rain
1t is too much to expect that in
one year or two the great area of
non productive land will be meta
morphosed into rich and profitable
farms. The encroschment Of the
farms from the East has been sloth-
full, and the rule is not going to be
reversed in any considerable degree
by even such an important gain as
the Campbell system. But here and
there over the area now being locat-
ed upon ls to be found a farmer who
came into the state twenty years ago
on the rain belt impulse and who
has stayed through all the years,
gradually developing his lands, max
ing living and growing around his
home fruit and shade trees that show
what persistence and determination
will accomplish. OF the thousands
who came then large majority were
speculators of class who would not
