WARREN'S PLAN.
Would Set Aside Forty Acres In All
Projects for Experimental Farm.

Washington, D.. c., Jan. 9.-Senator
Warren has introduced a bill appropri-
ating $4,000 10 aid in the settlement
and irrigation OF land included in ma.
tional reclamation projects. Mr.. War.

ments in irrigation and drainage, and
to place such land at the disposal OF
the secretary of agriculture whenever
requested so to do by that official, the
water necessary to be furnished free
OF charge. The secretary of agricul.
ture is directed to conduct ON said
tract of land, in connection with the
experiment stations, experiments and
investigations to determine the best
n most economical methods of pre-
pairing land for irrigation and for APP
plying water to crops II for prevent
ing or removing by drainage injuries

VIII Make stamns as Usual.

Although an outside printing concern
promised to print all of our postage
stamps cheaper than the government
a do the work itself the contract
vas again awarded to The bureau of en-
craving and printing. 1t is claimed
that the small saving N money would
be more than offset by the loss on the
machinery in the latter plant, even if
sold to the outsider at market value.
In medicine, as well, c~heapness is not
to be considered over merit, and for
that reason Hostetter's Stomach Bit,
tiers should be the first choice of every
one suffering from poor appetite, head
ache, vomiting, belching, heartburn,
dyspepsia, indigestion, costiveness,
colds or malaria. For over SO years it
has given complete satisfaction. Try
a bottle. 1t has been approved by the
pure drug commissioners.

Committee Resolution.

Resolved, That it is the unanimous
sense of the club that the actions hith,
erto taken by it have been devoid OF
party significance, and that the club
will deeply d%eprecate and resist any
attempt to introduce party politics,
either into it's deliberations or into its
selection of officers"
Mr.. Corthell asked that the resolu
ton be recommitted to the committee
as it would not, in his estimation
meet the demand of a large number
of the members of the club" for some
thing that would stinglngly rebuke The
Republican for having declared thai
Mr.. Gramm had received more than &
v~indication."

Too Many Dogs.
DR.. Hamilton suggested the need of
action to compel property to
clear the sidewalks of snow. He said
that if each member of the club would
take the pains to clear the snow from
his own walks, his neighbors would
take the hint. Even OH Second street
there had been laXness, especially on
vacant property, but the marsha mad
gotten action and the matter was being
remedied. The doctor also spoke OF
the large number of dogs on the street,
he having sometimes counted a score
in one bunch on some of the principal
business streets. 1t was a great nui-
sance, he said, and he hoped something
would be done to rid the town of worth
less ours.
Mr.. Frazee and Judge Grant spoke
of the dog nuisance, and would like to
see action taken.
Ordinance Not Enforced.
Judge Grant asked Mr.. Corthell to
speak on the legal phase of the dog
matter and Mr.. Corthell believed there
was little attempt on the part of the
officers to enforce the collection of the
dog tax. He believed the marshal
could do much to rid the city of dogs
upon which license had not been paid.
1t "a to be seen that all the members
of the club were down on SO many
dogs, but how to rid the city of them
was a matter to be considered. Mr.
Winslow said his dog was a gentle
man" and would NOT chase automu
biles and bicycles. He had seer an
uto run over a bad dog in his neigh
borhood, but the dog came out with
out a scratch and lived to do it all ov-
er again.
Didn't Like Its Tone.
The real warmth of the session was
the discussion of the Corthell resolu-
ton to condemn the editor of this "a
per for an editorial printed in these
columns IN the 14th Of December, un-
der the caption, More Than a Vindi-
cation" in which the writer c%ongratu-
lated the people OF the city and the
members of the club upon having
again secured the consent of Mr..
Gramm TO act as president of the club,
after he had asked to be relieved and
after Mr.. Corthell and other gentlemen
had declined TO allow their names to
be used in connection with the presi-
dency. Mr.. COrthell presented a reso-
luton of condemnation and asked that
it be made the unanimous sense of the
club. The motion was seconded by NJ.
N. Grant, former justice of the peace
of Laramie precinct. The import OF
the resolution was that the editorial
in question was political and sought to
place the club in the attitude of en-
dorsing the political leadership of Mr..
Gramm.

Resolution Tabled.

James NJ. Christensen, after consid-
cradle discussion, moved to lay the
resolution on the table, to be taken up
later, and the motion prevailed. The
chairman then appointed a special COM
mittee, consisting of Messrs. Frazee,
Hasenkamp and A. w. Whitehouse, to
present a resolution on the subject
that would place the club on a non-po-
litical basis. The club took a recess
for a few minutes, when the commit
tee presented the following, which was
unanimously adopted, after short talks
had been made by NJ. Corthell, Mr..
Whitehouse and others:

HAGERMAN QUITS
THE GOVERNORSHIP
OF NEW MEXICO

Governor Hagerman. OF New Mexico.
has resigned. and the President has ap-
pointed Capt George Curry, now gov
ernor Of samar province. Philippines,
to succeed him.
Governor Hagerman's resignation Is
by request" and is the direct result
Of the charges preferred against him by
various influential persons and corpora
lions of the Territory. The Territorial
Legislature passed a resolution. asking
him to resign. and both the President
and Secretary Of the Interior have been
deluged with letters complaining OF his
acts. The most serious charge against
Hagerman IS that he turned over 7.ol0
acres Of land, belonging to the Territory,
70 the Pennsylvania Development Com
pany without authority OF law. Other
land concerns. that asked similar gu
beTnatOriai cOuTtesies. were turned
down" Hagerman claims that the real
estate transaction was made by his pre-
decessor, Governor Otter, and his own
connection with the deal was confined to
carrying out the contract that he In
herited with the office.
Governor Hagerman has served only
a year as New Mexico's executive. He
is a young man, wealthy. an old friend
OF the President. and served a term as
Secretary of the American embassy al
St. Petersburg.

Philpotts has made us familiar with

human; the people there drink coffee
with the same results as elsewhere. A
writer at Rock House. Orchard Hill,

For 80 years drank coffee for break
fast and dinner. but some years ago
I found that it was producing indiges-
ton and heart burn, and was making
me restless at night. These symptoms
were followed by brain Tag and a slug

When I realized this, made up my
mind that to quit drinking coffee and
having read Of Postum, concluded to
try it. I had it carefully made, accord
ing to directions, and found TO my
agreeable surprise at the end of a week,
that no longer suffered from either in
digestion. heartburn. or brain flag, and
that I could drink II at night and secure
restful and refreshing sleep.
Since that time we have entirely dis
continued the use Of the old kind of
