MESSAGE SENT
TO CONGRESS
BY PRESIDENT
Need of Legislation
to Safeguard Public
Fuel Lands.

President Roosevelt sent an important
message to Congress today on the sub
ject of safeguarding the mineral and
grazing lands OF the public domain. It
says in part:
% the Senate and House OF Repre-
sentatives:
Il call your attention to the urgent
need of legislation affecting the differ
ent phases of the public land situation
in the United States. In my last an
nual message 1 recommended to Con-
gress the enactment OF such legislation
as would provide for title to and de-
velopment of the surface lands as sep
arate and distinct from the right to the
underlying mineral fuels in regions
where they may occur. and the disposal
of these mineral fuels under a leasing
system which will inure to the benefit
of the public as a whole. Such a leas-
ing system as that proposed represents
by no means an untried policy. In all
of the great coal producing European
countries. except Great Britain. coal is
being mined under government leases.
Avoid Past Mistakes.
Mineral fuels. like the forests and
navigable streams. should be treated az
public utilities. This Government should
not now repeat the mistakes of the
past If the Government sells its re-
naming fuel lands they pass out 5f its
future control If it now leases them
we retain control. and a future Congress
will be at liberty to decide whether it
will continue or change this policy.
Meanwhile the Government can inaugu-
rate system which will encourage the
separate and independent development
of the surface lands for agricultural
purposes and the extraction of the min
eral fuels in such manner as will best
meet the demands OF the people and
best facilitate the development OF man.

Fair Haven, Oct. s.-The captain of the British schooner Hugh c, was glad
 when he moored his vessel at the dock of the Connecticut Adamant company yesterday morning. The schooner had been out two weeks from Windsor, Nova Scotia, when with ordinarily good weather she ought to have made the run in a week. From the day that the captain sailed out of Windsor with 1000 tons of gypsum under the decks, until well up the sound, the schooner encountered heavy weather and for time, the captain says he was in a veritable hurricane. But the Hugh c is a strong boat and she came through without carrying away a sail, although decks were swept by the heavy seas. For two days the schooner was shelt- cred at Martha's Vineyard. The schooner after unloading, will go to New York to load for St. Johns. Pos sibly the company may charter the boat for another cargo, although this is not decided. It Is getting rather late for voyages down the coast. In win ter this vessel is in the West Indian trade and making voyages south.

IN ONE WEEK ALL
 SORES DISAPPEARED

"Our little girl, one year and a half old, was taken with eczema or that was ,what the doctor said it was. We called in the family doctor and he gave some tablets and said she would be all right in few days. The eczema grew worse and we called in doctor No. 2. He said she was teething, as soon as the teeth were through she would be all right. But she still grew worse. Doc tor No, said 1t was eczema. By this time she was nothing but a yellow, greenish. sore. Well, he said he could help her, so we let him try it about a week. One morning we discovered a little yellow pimple on one of her eyes. Of course we 'phoned for doctor No, 8, He came over and looked her over and said that he could not do any, thing more for her, that we had better take her to some eye specialist, since 1t was an ulcer. So we went to Oswego to doctor No. 4, and he said the eye sight was gone, but that he could help 1t. We thought we would try doctor No. 5. We'll, that proved the same, only he charged $10 more than doctor No. 4. We were nearly discouraged. saw one of the Cuticura advertisements in the paper and thought we would try the Cuticura Treatment, so l went and purchased a set of Cuticura Remedies, which cost me S1, and in three days our daughter, who had been sick about eight months, showed great improve ment, and in one week all sores had dis appeared. Of course it could not re- store the eyesight, but if we had used Cuticura in time 1 am confident that it would have saved the eye. We think there is no remedy so good for any skin trouble or impurity of the blood as Cuticura. Mir. and Mrs. Frank Abbott, R. F. D. No. g, Fulton, 0swego Co.,, N. T., August IF, 1906."

The action of the trustees of St. An drew's M. F. church in giving the use of its chapel to the people of St. Roses Catholic church until that par ish can provide a church of it's own, is very generally commended. This is the kind of Christian liberality that should always be commended. The first services in the M. E. chapel will be held by Rev. Father Fitzgerald next Sunday, with masses at S:3O and 10:SO. The St. Andrews Sunday school will meet in the chapel at noon, right after the Catholic services. While St. Roses may not use the chapel until their new church Is built, 1t is under stood the present arrangements will continue for several months. The cha pei is more in the center of the new parish, but Polar Star hall where the first services were held last Sunday, is inconveniently located for the pdr- ishioners over east.
