The river has been steadily
rising this week and bids fair to
occasion some anxiety to those
who reside close tc its treacherous
banks. Up to the present time it
has been fairly we'll behaved, but
there is lots of snow in the hills
that must yet come down in the
shape of flood water. Could the
waste be stored there would be
little land between here and Del

rather depression. Upon this raft
rises the fort-a steel turret, just
big enough to hold what guns you
want there, and projected any
height you please out of the water.
Now you see it, of course. That
still water furnishes as solid a
foundation as the rock, the float

steady, and just think what a
mouthful it would make for an
approaching fleet.
But though devised as a war
measure, this Invention promises
vastly more as gam tor peace.

Homesteaders the Only Remedy

nNE OF the arguments IN favor OF the leasing
~ system as applied to the vacant public lands
Is that it would 90 a long way toward the abolI-
ton OF the range wars. II lands were leased TO
individuals corporations for definite periods
OF time and if the boundaries OF the leases
were clearly defined, there would be little
danger of and no excuse for armed clashes.
But 10 lease out the three hundred million or
more acres of the public lands still available
ior grazing purposes make accurate surveys
of every subdivision fence the lcaseholds, or
make other provision To prevent the sheep
belonging to one man from trespassing upon
the cattle range leased and paid for by another,
would be a task Of more than Herculean pro-
portions 1t seems probable that boundary
disputes and intentional or unntentional
trespassing would tend to aggravate rather
than to check the natural and traditional
enmity between the Cattle Kings and the
Sheep Barons. Apparently the wars of the
range will continue to be a feature of Western
life until the range itself disappears forever
before the advance OF the conquering army OF
homesteaders.
New-York tribune., 1907-07-07
An American Anomaly

TITO the ordinary law abiding citizen the
L range wars seem anomalous and strangely
IT variance with American civilization. They
can't understand how II happens that these
bloody, vindictivc, and prolonged conflicts are
wagcd between rival interests of unlimited
wealth and vast political influence over lands
to which neither has the shadow OF clam.
The shccpIncn assert, with some show Of reason,
that they have as much right to make use Of
the vacant public lands as have the cattle
men. But the cattemcn allegc that whereas
cattle Will Craze upon the same lands year
after year without doing them any injury,
the sheep eat of the grass down to the
hard-bakcd soil. pull out the roots, and then
with their sharp hoofs tramplc anything that
NAV be left into atoms that never can sprout
up again.
Unquestionabfv sheep are chose grazcrs, but
il is worthy Of notice that IN New Mexico and
Arizona there are sheep ranges that have been
1,tst,1rcd continuously for more than three
hundred wears and that have more sheep
them and better pasture than ever before III
the memory Of men. 1t IS apparent, therefore,
that sheep are far from being so destructive rs
the champions of the cattle interests would
have the public believe. The further assertion
that no genuine cowboy hcsitates to make and
swear to-that cattle will not Craze in com
pany with sheep nor even upon Lands where
sheep have recently been pastured, must be
dismissed as a gross and lnexCusablc libel upon
the good sense Of the COWS Anyone who visits
the ranges of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona,
Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, or any
other Of the great stock raising common
wealths. may see millions Of sheep and cattle
browsing together III perfect amlty and good
fellowship II IS evident, therefore, that the
wars OF the range are purely OF man 5 making,
and that there Is no deep seated enmity or race
,rcjudice between the four footed Representa-
tivcs OF the two great branches OF the Western
live stock industry.

blterians than home missions and
evangelism These two causes have
received added emphasis since the
reunion of the two churches As the
possibilities OF the field has iucreas-
ed the feeling OF responsibility
Dr. Fullerton, In speaking on the
subject of home missions. said that
the church needed the power OF the
holy spirit to see the field that is
now open To the presbyterians in
America The field is world wide and
he expressed the hope that the time
would come when there would be
only one Presbyterian church. Re
ferring to the growth of the church
he said that in every country where
the American flag floated people
may be found who belong TO some
branch OF this church. Continuing
he said that from the east of this
OF carrying the gospel into neglected
places was in progress. Attention
was directed To the work being ac-
compllshed among the Indians, and
as an illustration of the effective
work of the missionaries in opening
the ways of grace 10 these people he
told of his recent visit to the Okla
homa synod. There he met an In
dian lad about eighteen years old,
who was studying for the ministry
The conversion of this young man
was a direct result of the work of
Pres sbyterian missionary.
He said that about one million
foreign immigrants were coming to
this country every year, and what
shall be done with them is complex
proposition confronting the church.
The church must get a vision of this
field if it would reach these people.
The church must also get vision or
force in order that more effective
work may be done along missionary
! lines.
Before the union of the two
churches was consummated the Pres

AN HONEST MAN WAS SAVED BY
A PHlLANTHROPIST

Mr.. T. A. Morgan, of Hammond,

stomach and kidneys, and while the
great Root Juice scientist was prov
ing the merits of the Root Juice rene
dy to the people of northern Indiana.
MIR. Morgan purchased six bottles OF
1.-THE Juice and while it was being
wrapped up he said: IF Root Juice
cures me | will make the scientist a
present of one hundred dollars" A
short while ago Mr.. Morgan called on
the scientist and said that he could
eat anything without the slightest in
convenience and that his kidney trou-
bic was entirely cured. He wanted
the scientist to take the one hun
dred dollars, but it was refused. How
ever. it was agreed to give the money
to an orphan asylum. So Root Juice
is not only curing the sick, but in this
instance will be the indirect means of
caring for some dead mothers child.
Root Juice has proved it's wonderful
merits to many people of Richmond.
From the very start it seems to
soothe and heal the Innings of the
stomach and bowels and strengthen
the liver and kidneys, thereby giving
nature a chance to, in her own way,
throw off the impurities of the blood.
