Title lands in the state of

Title lands in the state of Utah
containing salt deposits declared Of
an extent and purity hitherto un-
dreamed of, is involved in a sensa-
tional contest now being fought in
Washington. About $4,000 acres of
land lying along the western border
of Utah have been discovered topped
with salt and an attempt made to
acquire them by filing placer min
ing claims. The value of the lands
was estimated by one of the claim.
ants at $4O0,OOO,OOO. On the lands
over which the contest is being made
is bed of pure salt, which in some
places has a depth of six feet. This
salt, it is asserted, is of SO fine a
quality that it is unnecessary to re-
fine it. 1t can be marketed direct
from the deposit, and tess have
shown it to be 50 per cent. pure
Elaborate preparations were made
for the control of the land by per-
sons who thus far kept the discovery
of the deposit from the public, but
the state of Utah has been awakened
to the vast possibilities of the salt
deposits, and the aid of the senate
of the United States and the presi-
dent has been invoked in an effort
to retain the product to which the
commonwealth lays claim under a
section of the enabling act making
it state.

A Brave Girl.

Ask any one within 100 miles of
Reno, Nevada, if he has ever
heard of Phillis Davis and you will
get the prompt reply:
"Shes the bravest little girl in
Nevada
Phillis is twelve years old. She is
the daughter of Capt. Herman Davis
of Dayton, Nevada, little town
near Reno. A few days ago she was
just a dainty, light-hearted school
girl. Now she is known through an
-ntire state as "The Heroine of
Nevada" She won her honors at
Dayton by rescuing a ten year old
boy, Marvin Johnson, from the icy.
muddy waters of the Carson river.
The johnson lad was playing
with some companions on the banks
of the river, when he slipped and
plunged into the water. The current
swept him swiftly out to the center
of the turbulent stream. Phyllis was
playing near by. She heard the
screams of boys on the river bank
and ran to the scene.
The little girl did not ask ques-
tions. She saw the boy struggling
in the water. She knew the dangers
of those treacherous currents. She
did not wait to remove her clothing.
She slipped off her heavy shoes and
plunged into the icy water. With
the strong overland stroke her sol
dier father had taught her, she swan
swiftly out to the drowning lad. She
twined one arm around his neck
and then began her fight for the
shore. She already felt the numbine
influence of the cruel water and de.
spite her utmost endeavors, the cur.
rent was too strong for her. With
rare presence of mind, she allowed
herself to be carried down the
stream, always fighting for the shore
and was finally carried, with her al
most lifeless burden, to the bank. a

hours unceasing labor, Phyllis hac

Timely Facts About Plain Farming.

Are you putting in any tile drain
this year?
Get the oats in early but beware
of the mud.
Do you tramp behind the harrow
or have you a harrow cart?
Keep the stock off the pastures
until the grass gets a good start.
In planning for your crops do not
forget patch of corn for summer
feed.
Cement is surely going to be the
popular building material of the
near future.
The dragging you did on the road
last summer is saving cuss words
every day now.
Every farm house ought to have
an evergreen grove. 1t is within
the reach of all and it's source of
satisfaction every year.
The grain farm always has a
lonesome appearance. There is no
stock about.
It's sacrilege to cut off all the
groves in order to get few more
acres of land to cultivate.

There is no fuel that can quite

The cost of building material has

Minnesota, like other progressive
states, recognizing that dipsomania
is disease, maintains an inebriate
asylum to which habitual tipsters,
on complaint and conviction. may be
committed for treatment Its cost
is betrayed by the state. The state
lays a license tax of $500
in villages to $1,000 in cities on
saloons, the proceeds of which go to
the local treasures. A year ago a
law was enacted approbriating 2 per
cent, of the local licenses to be turn
ed into the state treasury and ap.
piled to the support of the inebriate
asylums. The logic of this is that
the saloons that assist in producing
the inebriate, shall support the asy-
lum in which cure is either made or
attempted. Sioux City Tribune.

A Congress of cowards Just Before the
Election.

Congress is standing still. Busi-
ness men are pleading for just one
bit of help from the lawmakers, Just
one bill that will show that the re-
presentatives of the people know
that responsibility rests upon
them.
The congress of towards talks and
does nothing.
A great panic swept the country
lew weeks ago. 1t revealed the
fact that the currency system of the
country is out of date and that the
men whom the pesple have relied
upon to keep things straight have
shown utter incapacity for the task.
A brave president joins with the
business world to demand some
action. Bills are introduced, some
old and some new, and the committee
sit around and look wise. The
business world is extricating itself
from the mire by main force.
The congress of towards winces
and braces itself again for another
blow from the big stick.
All the world knows that Amer
icsn business is suffering from in
equalities and injustice in the tariff
laws The president makes direct
demand for first step-just little

Your Own Bit of Land.

Theman who stands upon his own
soil. who feels that by the law of
the land in which he lives he is the
rightful and exclusive owner of the
land which he tills, feels more
strongly than another the character
of a man as the lord of an inanimate
world. Of this great and wonder
full sphere which, fashioned by the
hand of God and upheld by his pow
er, is rolling through the heavens a
part is his from the center to the
sky. 1t is the space on which the
generation before moved in its
round of duties, and he feels him
self connected by a visible link
with those who follow him and to
whom he is to transmit home. =

the party was tired Of the fight and

the party was tired Of the fight and
took little interest in contest
which most of them thou ,ht had no
bearing on the senatorship. The
result was that the caucuses were
lightly attended everywhere, and
we doubt if one-tenth of the repub-
lican vote was out in the state at
large. The advantage can be held
to the end unless it is sacrificed by
fool friends, of which Mr.. Allison,
like all men of prominence, has his
full quota. They may feel that the
battle is already won and that they
are at liberty to indulge their YER
bosity, but unless they are restrain
ed the Allison management is very
likely to be amazed by such an up

and 1906, when the Iowa machine
was upset in each case.

Buchanan county deserves a
chrome for the handsome manner
in which it sawed wood. The AL
lison men carried every township in
that county, the Cummings men get
ting only the delegates from three
wards in Independence. In three
of the townships where the voters
we're practically all present at the
caucuses, not a vote was cast for tho
Cummins contingent. How do you
suppose that county and Delaware
as we'll happened to go SO strong for
the progressives two wears ago?
Simply by democratic aid.-Cedar

Replying to the above, the Inde-
pendence Bulletin Journal (Progres

Simply for the pupose of keeping
history straight we desire to state
that the above is unmitigated rot.
The most radical standpatter in this
county has never alleged that even
one democrat voted at the republi-
can primaries of 1906. Without con-
sidcration Of the right or wrong of
such an action, it is an absurd
charge, for the facts are we'll known
that after test of strength in the
first two townships, the stand patters
withdrew from the contest in near
ly all the other precincts.

considerable to say in the past about

1t will be rememberd that in
March, 1907, the democrats in the
senate killed the ship subsidy bill,
which had passed the house by re-
publican votes. Senator Carmack
of Tennessee led in the filibuster
which resulted in the defeat of this
iniquitous measure. 1t seems that
the republican party has ample time
to pass measures demanded by the
financiers, such as the Aldrich bill,
and measures demanded by the sub
sidy gahbers, such as the shipping
bill. But when the people demand
tariff revision and other important
reforms they are expected to be
satisfied with the assurance that if
they will again trust the republican
party with power they may have
such tariff revision as the friends
of the tariff" think the people are
entitled to after the presidential
election.-Commoner.

An old bill which has been
struggling along for nearly third
of a century became unfinished
business in the senate. It was a
bill to pay the various states their
share of the fund received from the
sale of public lands. 1t was first
introduced in tho Forty-fifth con-
gress more than 30 years ago. The
states have q 5 per cent interest in
the sale of public lands, Indian re-
servations and land warrents. This
now amounts to approximately
$S,0O0,00O, and that amount is ap-
propriated by the bill. In 1887
there was large surplus in the
treasury, and $2S,00O,O00 was
loaned to various states with the
stipulation that it might be called
for wherever needed. No request
was ever made for repayment, and
this bill relieves those states of this
Indebtedness.
