IRVING D. HULL TELLS STORY.
Witness in Land Case Explains Plan

ants, was that OF Irving d. Hull. 1t
was developed during Hulls evidence
that the sum of 5000 had been fixed
as the fiat figure OF the valuation of a
full section of land in the grazing
ties, and the big cattle men were will
ing to invest that amount OF money in
each section to which they could &C
auire title. The none was divided
into two lunches Of 5000 each. The
first $500 was to pay for the securing
Of entrymen, their filing fees and ex'
lenses, and the leases they would
make for grazing purposes TO the cat
tlemen during the time required foI
them to make final proof and for com
missions to the agents securing the
entrymcn. The remaining $500 wa:
TO be paid for the full section claims
IL the entrymen wanted to sell aftel
making final proof, the preference t1
buy being promised TO the cattle ant
ranch men putting up the first $500
expense money.
The evidence Of Hull showed tina
there was a very general understand
ing among all the old soldiers, wh'
had made the filings that they coul'
make $500 out Of the proposition Oh
final proof. The government attor
neys brought out the admission from
Hull that he had been solicited b,
Huntington to secure old soldiers t
make filings in the grazing countr
and that good money was to be mad
out of it. and that the ranch owned i
part by w. G. Comstock would be tn
direct beneficiary of these filings an
entries. and stood back of the genera
proposition.

Duty of Good Citizens.

Home and its protection is the safe
guard of all government. That citi
zen who has the love of home and
fealty to home interests. is a worthy
representative of commonwealth. It
is the mass of such men that are the
backbone of any community, and,
f1guratively. the mainstay and the
rock upon which the nations are
founded. Whoever lives in COM
munity and fails to support the pub
lie institutions and does not assist In
the building up of Industries that add
to the greatness of that community. is
like an alien While he lives one
place, his heart is in another He is
not the ideal citizen, for he is not In
harmony with those who are his
neighbors 1t Is the duty of every
resident of town or community to do
his utmost to advance its interest.
By thus doing he not alone assists
himself. but his neighbors, his town,
his county, his state and his nation.
