FOUND TRUE REMEDY
Laramie Drug Company Sure Mi-o-na
Will Cure Indigestion.

In no other way can you 30 quickly,
SO readily and SO positively stimulate
the stomach to good health as by using
Mona. Laramie Drug company feel
so sure that this remedy will restore
to health every person suffering with
stomach troubles that they sell 1t under
a guarantee to refund the money I'M
less it cures. This shows conclusively
its superiority over the ordinary old
fashioned digestives.
The underlying cause of most nerv.
Gus debility. headaches, sleeplessness
and melancholy Is faulty nutrition,
the result of a weakened stomach and
inactive bowels. Mona strengthens
the stomach muscles, regulates the
bowels and thus makes digestion easy
and natural.
A So cent box of Mona lasts a cou.
pie Of weeks, and will ward off a dog
en- attacks Of Indigestion and bring
good health to the weakest stomach.

The Mondell second homestead entry
bill Is short and tothe point. 1t provides
that any person who, prior to the pas,
sage of this act. has made entry under
the homestead laws. but from any
shall be entitled to the benefits of the
homestead Law as though such former
had not been made, and any person ap-
plying for a second homestead under
this act shall furnish the description
and date of his former entry" And
that is all there is of it. In drawing
HIS bills Mr.. Mondell has a faculty of
going direct to the point, a faculty
possessed by few lawmakers.

SEEKING REDRESS.

The Wheatland Farmers association
has adopted resolutions condemntpg
the action OF the government special
service in en%deavoring to collect from
innocent purchasers the price of lum
Der made from timber illegally taken
from the public domain. They allege
that the action of the agents is arbi-
trary in the extreme and not justified
by the facts nor founded upon law or
equity. The farmers urge that the fact
that these local sawmills have been
running openly. without attempt at
CONSIGNMENT, and almost continu.
ously during the entire period un-
der which the charges are now
made should be prima facie evi,
dence that these mills were doing a
legitimate business.
A copy of the resolutions passed will
be mailed to the commissioner of the
general land office and also to Wyo,
ming's representatives in congress.
This is the proper way TO test the
matter. The argument made by the
WheatlaDd association is a good one.
The very fact that these mills were in
operation for years without molesta
ton might well be taken by the farm,
ers as evidence that they were operat,
ing legally, unless the contrary was
known to the purchasers of lumber.
While the government has the light to
seize stolen property the same as an
individual, 1t is also true that the gov
eminent can afford to be magnanimous
and treat those who are imposed upon
by depredators In a spirit of forgive
ness.
The Republican ventures the asser-
ton that the Department OF the Interior
will meet out such justice as the evil
dence In the case warrants. 1t has con.
fldence in the fairness of the commit
sioner and the secretary.

FOR CONSOLIDATION OF LANDS,

Congressman Mondell has introduced
II bill OF far-reaching importance to set
tiers within the limits of the land grant
OF the Union Pacific In this state. 1t
provides that 1t shall be lawful for the
commissioner of the general land of.
flee to order into market and sell for
not less than SLIPS per acre, in accord
ance with the provisions OF law for the
sale Of isolated or disconnected tracts.
all or any portion of any even-number'-
ed sections Of non-mineral land, chiefly
valuable for grazing purposes, within
the limits Of any railroad land grant
where the railroad for the construction
OF which the grant was made has been
constructed and in operation for thirty
years and the lands to be sold have
been subject to homestead entry for
that period; that no more than four
sections or fractions thereof shall be
sold to any one person and the pur.
chase price shall be paid in ten annual
installments."
MI. Mondell is hopeful that this bill
may become a law. II it does, the
"checker-board" problem will be solved
in a very short time and the lands in
side railroad limits will all pass into
private ownership, as they should.
Since the building of the Union Pacific
there has been no way to acquire title
to the purely grazing lands inside the
land grant, for the reason hat 100
acres under the homestead act was in.
sufficient for a nan to arm a living
upon and no more could be taken under
any land law. Where water could be
obtained, 800 acres have been filed up
on under the desert act, but this Gov
cred a comparatively small area OF the
lands within the grant, and none of the
grazing lands.
The Mondcll bill provides that the
purchase price may be divided into ten
annual installments. This will permit
a settler of limited means to make q
payment upon quite a large acreage
perhaps sufficient to maintain a family,
and give him ten years in which to
earn and make the succeeding pay
ments. This measure would also make
it possible for a ranchman who now
owns several sections of railroad land
to buy the government land he now
surrounds, thus enabling him to fence
the entire tract and do away with the
illegal fence proposition.
In discussing this bill to some extent
in a letter to the editor of The Repub'
lioan, Mr.. Mondell says:
The bill for the disposition Of the
remaining government lands within
railroad land grant limits is in accord.
ance with ar idea that 1 suggested to
you a year ago, and 1 believe it will be
possible to secure such legislation, and
I am OF the opinion that it will be help
full.
Measures for the consolidation OF
lands within railroad land grants have
been before congress for a number OF
years past. In the Fifty-eighth CON
gress . bill Of that kind was reported
out Of the public lands committee but
failed OF the door. I have never be-
lieved that such a bill could be practi-
cally worked ont. I have talked with

THE FLOOD WATERS CAUSE DAMAGE

The station is built in the bottom
of small coulee, an off shoot from
Bull Hook, and is several feet lower
than the coulee but protected by
earthen dikes built around the wells
and pump house about three feet
higher than the banks Of Bull Hook
creek. City Engineer c. B. McCulloh
anticipated the flood by strengthen
ing the dikes and bulk heading the
wells from the pump house When the
water from the lake caused by the
overflow form the gorges in Bull
Hook creek began to come down by
the pump house. Several weak spots
in the dixie broke through and the
water began to flow into the we'll
tunnels and from there into the pump
house, principally by seepage through
the cement walls. Large crews Of
men We're put at work filling sacks
with earth and cinders which were
packed into the breaks in the dikes,
but they were Of no avail and water
began running into the pump hOuEe
about 10 o'clock Saturday mo ming.
By Sunday morning the pump house
contained about ten feet of water,
which completely submerged the
pumps and motors.
However, with the water streaming
in arount. them, the employees of the
electric company succeed in removing
the armature from one of the large
80 H. P. electric motors to keep it
dry that it might be in readiness for
use with the abatement of water.

This has been the most expensive
winter in the history Of the round
house and machine shops of the Great
Northern road in HaVIe and the a.
mount of money paid out by the dis
bursting office is considerable. The
pay roll during the months of jan
uary and February carries $50 en-
ployes and the amount paid out month
ly in these months is approximately
$2,700; about $1,000 in excess of that
of any previous period.
It is stated by those in authority.
that Nj. Hill will not be caught nap
ping another winter, but will be pre-
pared TO handle the engines of this
division with less time and labor by
enlarging the round house.
The east wall is to be moved, en-
larging the building u feen on that
side, The office in the round house
is to be moved over near the tank
room and enlarged, giving better
opportunity to transact the business
details OF the department of the de-
partment. Z
About 240 engines are handled
monthly at the Havre round house un
der ordinary conditions and in case OF
a severe winter like the present one,
engines are coming and going all the
time. This point being utilized as a
hospital for locomotives injured in
bucking snow and making difficult
trips in the section west.
The Havre round house has been
a veritable hospital of decrepit To-
