LAND MEETING
MOST IMPORTANT CONVENTION
EVER HELD IN WEST NOW
IN SESSION.
SECRETARY GARFIELD HERE
San Luis Valley Water War Opens
Early In the Game and
May Win Out.

Denver.-The brains and leadership
Of the West are in session In the
Broadway Theatre.
All Transmississippi states will par
ticipate in the consideration of Roose-
velt's western land policies.
United States Senator Thomas H.
Carter of Montana will be chairman.
A thousand delegates will be in at
tendance.
James r. Garfield, secretary OF the
Interior in the Roosevelt Cabinet,
heads the men standing for Roosevelt's
fight.
Those opposed to the Roosevelt land
policies are clearly lined up and are in
overwhelming control of the conven-
tion
Four out of five in the convention
will assume the position that they will
not compromise on any basis which
will permit the government to continue
its policy of becoming gigantic land
lord.
James Rudolph Garfield, son of the
late President Garfield, and secretary
VI lhc lulcItOf III tut nOUStNclL SdUl-
net, reached Denver on belated train.
1t had been announced that he was
coming to Denver, not to use any politi-
cal influence in the land convention,
but to explain the policies of the gov
ernment.
But the secretary wanted to find out
what the situation was. He was clos
eted first with the San Luis Valley del.
egation. which is protesting against
the taking away Of the waters OF the
Rio Grande from Colorado and present
ing them to southern New Mexico,
Texas and 'he republic of Mexico. The
lawyers representing the committee
were Frank C. Goudy and former
Chief Justice Charles d. Hayt. For
two hours this matter was considered.
Goudy claiming that the law of 1891
gave them the power to win their case
in court If the government would not
change its attitude toward the matter
Of its own accord.
While this conference was in prog
ress local politicians were using the
other rooms of federal officials as po-
litical headquarters and guards were
stationed at the doors, letting in only
the chosen few, the political leaders
OF the state who told how to secure the
best possible following for the admin
istration in the convention, and who
were then sent hither and thither to
buttouhole delegates and talk to them
with the magic watchword of "Roose-
welt.
AS soon as the water conference was
over the secretary Of the interior had
long conferences with leading politi.
clans to get the sentiment" of the
West. It leaked out that the govern
ment has been prepared to back off
with colors flying and cry of victory.
This is the program. Before leaving
Washington, the secretary, in the past
few months, has released hundreds of
thousands Of acres of forestry reserve
and coal lands in an effort to stem the
tide of sentiment against the admins
tration. His lieutenants deny this
move, but others affirm it. Now he
shows an inclination to modify the San
Luis valley policy of preventing Colo
RADIO from rising its own waters. This
was whispered. but he would not con-
firm it. One of those close to him,
however, said that Washington was
about convinced that the policy was
wrong.
New-York tribune., 1907-10-06

this fortifcation but of all military forces on the

The Admiral gave a quick start of surprise and

action dawned upon him.

Questioned as if it was beyond comprehension that

enemy who battered a challenge its gates.
The General, beyond words, nodded IN contirma-

miral translated the details of the conversation TO
his COmpatrIOtS.

They stormed and swore, and for time 1t seemed

ranks OF that force which had come upon them a
night and unearned victory But they too
creatures OF discipline, and IN the end reluctantly
accepted fate.
The great armada slowly gathered way and
crept forward almost beneath the towering walls
Of the silent forts. Boat after boat brought its
load OF marines ashore and discharged them

the blood of vaorous men. Here on these beaches

Kansas City Stock Yards, Sept.
"a. 1907
After the record breaking re-
ceipts of "a, 300 cattle and calves
here last week. a big reduction
in the run this week is welcome,
and of great benefit to the mar
ket. The demand was phenome-
nal last week, and was sufficient
to absorb the entire supply, and
even to reduce the number held
over at the end of the week, as
compared with number remain
ing at end of previous week, for
prices naturally shaded down
ward under the weight of the
enormous transactions. A sup
ply of 19, 900 head yesterday sold
strong to 10 higher, she stuff
10 to Is higher, and Fl, 900 head
here today are selling steady to
strong on all kinds No toppy

shipping demand has been the
main sustaining feature and

Packers have attempted to put
heavy hogs down on parity
with other points but as Compel
ition from shippers affects the
bulk of the arrivals at this mar
ket, because of the lighter aver
age weight here than at markets
north of this point, they have
had small success.

Occasional headache, belching,
bad taste in the mouth, lack of
appetite and slight nervousness
are symptoms of indigestion
which, when allowed to go uncar-
ed for, will develop into a case
of dyspepsia that will take a long
time to get rid of. Don't neglect
your stomach. At the first indi-
cation of trouble take something
that will help it along in its work
of digesting the food you eat.
Kodol For Indigestion and Dys-
pepsia will do this. Kodol will
make your food do you good and
will enable you to enjoy what you
eat. WV Gibson.

What Words Can Do.

"Any one who swears," declared the
bishop of Carlisle, "manifests the beg
garliness of his vocabulary" The Con-
cord Patriot puts it in this fashion:
People swear because they do not
know the possibilities of plain Eng
lish or have not the skill to manipulate
it so that it will yield the amount of
fire they want. You can do almost
anything with common words. No
matter how tame and liEeless they
looking standing in Stupid Aows as If
they didn't know enough to come in
when it rained, they can be made to
dance Ike imps, to frolIc like fairies,
to float angelwise on light wings, to
glow like fire spirits. They can do
things that make the ordinary bits Of
profanity look like feeble scarcrows
stiffened up with a fence stake. The
cure for profanity-reformers and edu-
Gators please make note-is merely
wit enough to handle your words so
that swearing will seem like baby talk
in comparison"

George l. Meeker, an actor, is wait
Ing for Judge Patton to grant him a
divorce from Minnie Meeker, and he
blames all his troubles tU his bald head.
The story which he took to the judge
caused some merriment in the court
room, where several baldheaded men
were waiting to be called as witnesses
in other cases. Although the technical
charge is desertion, Meeker attributed
the trouble to his lack of hair. He told
the court his wife left him In 1901.
"Why did she leave you| asked
Judge Patton. Another man in the
caseY
"Nope," responded Meeker, placing
his hand on his bald head. "This was
the cause Of our trouble. Before my
wife deserted me my hair began to fall
out, and finally was almost completely
bald. Well, Minnie wanted me to buy
wig, but l objected to wearing one
and said so."
"And you refused to buy the wlgT"
asked the court.
Eyes, that was 1t, and my wife then
began nagging at me until we quar-
relied about it"
"Well, WE'LL" meditated Judge Pat
ton. BALD head-divorce." Slowly
the Judge placed his hand on his own
head thoughtfully. "Yes, l am begin
