After Twenty Years.

New York.-A mother and her two
children, whom she had not seen for
twenty years and has long believed
dead. will be reunited as soon as Mrs.
Charles W. Foster of No. 145 West
Twenty-third street, reaches Los An
geles.
AS a girl Of fifteen. Mrs. Foster ran
away with and married Augustus ].
Hill OF Holyoke, Massachusetts, and
they lived together happily for five
years. Without any known reason the
husband deserted his wife and two lit
tie children-a boy and a girl-leaving
them penniless.
Mrs. Hill set out to make a living Tor
herself and children and at the sug
gestion of her husbands family gave
the children into their care. She later
received 4 letter that both had died OF
scarlet fever. Her letters asking fos
particulars was never answered.
The deserted wife married again nj.
ter obtaining divorce. She had
heard that her two children were not
dead and began a search for them, en-
ploying detectives and inserting adver-
tisements in newspapers. Last De
cember a Christmas present came for
Mrs. Foster. wrapped in copy OF a
Los Angeles newspaper. Mrs. Foster
glanced over the paper and saw an an
nouncement of the marriage OF Miss
Caroline Hill to Robert w. Sturges
She wrote, and the correspondence
that followed revealed the fact that
Mrs. Sturges and her brother Frank
were the children of Mrs. Foster. and
they will be reunited next week.

specific portion Of 1t Is not wholly and
exclusively within the Jurisdiction Of
the federal government. Better, far
better, that the remnant OF 1t be held
by the government forever, than that
1t should go the way millions Of acres
now held by a score of huge corpo-
rate interests have gone.
"Our distinguished senior senator
objects to the Presidents proposed
plan because 1t converts the govern
ment into huge landlord; and land
lordism Is not congenial to American
institutions. This is true as an abb
stract proposition. Yet. in fact, land
lordism is prominent feature Of our
national life. 1t Is growing faster than
our population. The Union Pacific, the
Colorado Fuel & Iron, the street trust,
the Standard Oil, and all kindred or
ganizations, are typical modern land
lords. Since we must have them, l
feel sanguine that the average man
would prefer Uncle Sam to any of
these.
Those who criticise the Presidents
plans should suggest a better one.
Some new plan is necessary, and the
President Is at least entitled to the
merit of proposing one. 1t is not ideal,
but It is an improvement on what we
have. Let us look at this great ques-
tion, free from the influence OF self
interest, IL we can, bear in mind the
high purpose and moral courage that
animates our President in the position
he has taken upon 1t, free ourselves of
passion and patiently consider the
problem from national viewpoint.
Prejudice Is poor prompter; reason
and justice alone can guide us in the
right direction"
The secretary was affable when he
met representatives Of the press. But
he was not communicative.
"Is the open range a thing OF the
past?" he was asked.
81 do not know" was the reply.
Senator Carter quotes Roosevelt as
answering this question in the affirma-
| tive.
Does the 1891 law guarantee the
San Luis valley its Rio Grande water
despite the order Of the Interior De-
partment?" was the next question TO
Secretary Garfield.
THAT is a matter on which lawyers
differ" evaded the secretary. who then
added, as he turned away:
| II am very glad to have met you,
gentlemen, and will be here for several
days, and will always be glad o discuss
these matters with you" And he was
gone,

VI thc lutcl III Lie NOOSeNSlL SdDl-
net, reached Denver on a 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

were then sent hither and thither to

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 using it's 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.
