Fertile Lands Under euanisoa
Tunnel Will Furnish
Many New Homes
MAY RAISE THE PRICE

MONTROSE. Colo, Nov. 25.-Sixty
thousand acres of rich, fertile land in
the Uncampahgre valley under the Gun
nison tunnel may be thrown open for
settlement within the next month.
Much of this area which already has
been filed upon, and upon which many
of the settlers have made improve
ments, may revert back to the govern
ment if the land is thrown open for
homestead entry.
In the event that the plan is carried
out. those who have filed on portions
of this area will be given the prefer
cnce right of entry. The same rule will
apply to those who may file appli-
cations between now and the time open
for filing.
Most of the settlers filed upon l60-
acre claims and under the provisions
retain only half that amount, and even
less, the lowest being forty acres.
An important factor in the case will
he the action of the Water Users asso-
citation, which will hold meeting AT
Olathe next week At that time it will
pass upon an amendment requiring
that $35 instead of $25 per acre shall
be the price per acre. 1t is claimed
that unless the association members
agree to do this the tunnel cannot be
completed.

Forty Chicago Families Are
Forced to Flee From
Burning Building
SUFFER FROM COLD
Special to the Post.

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-Forty families
were driven from their homes on Win.
chester avenue this morning by flames
which destroyed their homes and all
their possessions.
Scenes of the greatest suffering fol.
lowed. The streets were covered with
water and snow, a cold wind was blow
ing and the air was filled with SNOW
The people had no time to gather their
clothing and many of them appeared
in their night clothes. Many of the
children We're carried from the halls
where they fell from the effects of the
smoke. Fircmen risked their lives
time after time to complete rescue work
and just as the flames seemed under
control and the people We're all shiver
ing on the street, the walls fell and
three of the fremen were caught and
suffered almost instant death. Falling
beams held them prisoners and although
every effort was made by their com
rades to secure their bodies, the heat
prevented success.

TEMPORARY ROLL CALL.

The temporary roll call of the house
of representatives for the sixty.first
congress has been completed and pub
lished. 1t shows that the next house
will consist of 2l9 republicans and l72
democrats, total of 39l, as agains,
a total of $50 in the house during the
last session, of whom 223 We're rcpub.
Leans and l66 democrats. The result
is a net loss of four from the republican
side and a net gain of six on the demo.
cratic side, the discrepancy being due
to present vacancies. All told, the
democrats gained seventeen districts
and the republicans twelve.

on the whole is most acceptable or least
objectionable to all.
"That is according to civilized and
enlightened government. 1t is the bar
barian who expects to have everything
his own way without regard to his
neighbor. Whoever is elected speaker
of the house must so perform his func

at the result which will best represent
the views of the responsible party in
the house, striving to carry out the will
of the people, who elected him. In over
thirty years experience in the house,
sometimes under ono party control,
sometimes under the other, I have new
err seen the responsible political party
so wihully against what it thought to
be the sentiment of the people. Mis-
takes have sometimes been made, as in
the case Of the Wilson bill enacted by
the democratic congress, but believe
that the representatives in the house
earnestly tried to do what they thought
the people wanted. They were misled
ttstbe. Aasty judgment passed on the
Mckinley law in 1890 and which
would not, in my opinion, have hap
pened had the republicans had more
time to explain the bill on the stump.
"The republicans made no mistake
when they enacted the Dingley law as
the long life-as the lives of tariff laws
go-of that law shows, believe, that
they will make no mistake in the bill
which they will enact next summer
with the concurrence Of the senate and
the president.
"There is one thing which you may
be sure. Those representatives will
do their very best to perform what the
people want. for they must go before
the people in 1910 and account for their
acts. The senator accounts for himself

Speaker Cannon Says There viii b
an Honest Revision Of the Present
Tariff RATES
MUST ACCOUNT FOR THEIR ACTS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Deciaring
that there will be an honest revision
of the tariff and that there is no pres
ent need of "fretting" about the
election of speaker of the house in
the 6lst congress, Speaker Cannon ar
rived here from his home in Illinois
late yesterday for the approaching
session Of congress.
He ISSUED a statement in which he
said he was not attempting to dictate
TO the house and that through the sys-
tenn Of election members, the people
were certain of having their views
enacted into law.
The full text of Speaker Cannon 3
statement follows:
"The election of the speaker for the
6lst congress is yet Il considerable dis
tancc in the future. When that con
gress is able to assemble-which l pre-
sumo will be sometime in March-the
republican members of the house of
representatives will hold a caucus as
has been the custom from the founda-
tion of the party and select a candidate
for speaker to be supported by the
psrty 1t the organization Of the house
l presume that the representatives will
be perfectly competent to select their
speaker and I do not see any present
need Of fretting about the matter.
"Of course there will be an honest
revision of the tariff. We made the
campaign on that issue and every re-
publican member was elected with that
in view. Every one Of those rcpubli-
cans without an exception will, 1 be-
live, strive to the best of his intelli-
gence and ability to obtain the tariff
results desired by the people who
elected him. All will not have the
same views, and each one cannot have
his own way altogether. There must
be mutual concessions and compromise

Magazines for the Army.

The Woman's Army and Navy
League is making additional request
for books and magazines to be sent
to the soldiers in the Philippines,
Alaska, Cuba and far western posts in
the United States. The coming of
spring has brought many requests from
these stations, particularly from Alas

ers, members of the league believe,
now that the spring housekeeping is
here, there may be an extra allotment
OF magazines and books for the sol
diers.
The genuine pleasure these period
Gals give the soldiers is not to be dis
counted. They read them eagerly,
each finding a sort of message from
home within the pages. One lot is

Quality

appeal to the Well Informed in every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy Of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug
gists.

proved by the Society for the Pre-

Grandmother said she had read in

gas in an air-tight chamber, but, any,
how, it was humane. Uncle Nat said
he never saw so many cats in his life.
and that he was always stepping on
one whenever he put his foot down.

STRUGGLE WITH A TIGER,

Two brothers, Khuda Bakhs and
Shaikh Abdul CHAM, OF Moradabad,
were despatched recently to Rampur
on an errand, and while entering a
grove at Khadpura a tiger sprang
upon Khuda Bakhs, who, being an
athlete, warded off the blow aimed
at him with his right hand and
caught one of the paws with the other
and maintained his hold, though the
tiger was mauling the other hand.
Abdul CHAM now rushed up with a
stout stick, which he forced down the
tigers throat, making it release his
brothers hand, when Khuda Bakhs
seized another paw with his wounded
hand, forcing both the paws back.
He wrestled with the tiger, keeping it
down by sheer force, while Abdul
CHAM belabored it with his lathi and
killed it.
The tiger was carried by the BROTH
ers to His Highness the Nawab of
Rampur, who kept the skin as a me-
mento and sent Khuda Bakhs to the
State dispensary for treatment. "-In-

Matching Ostrich Eggs.

Ostrich eggs are being Matched IL
an incubator In this city. A novel
egg-hatching is being carried on at
the store of Crenshaw Bros, on upper
Franklin street. Thirteen fine ostrich
eggs from the recently established
Tampa ostrich farm have been placed
in an incubator and they will hatch on
some time early In May.
It takes an average heat Of 107 de-
grees and forty-five days of constant
exposure to such heat to develop the
germ in an ostrich egg and hatch a
young ostrich. The eggs are worth
$40 each, and 1t is a conservative
estimate to say that the young bird
will be worth more than twice that
money after 1t has passed the first
month of its existence.
Some idea of the size OF the eggs
may be gathered from the fact that
the Mandy Lee" incubator, which is
being used for the hatch, would hold
40 average hen eggs. Fourteen of
the ostrich eggs would AL 1t COM
pletely. An empty ostrich egg holds
just one quart Of liquid. This is the
first attempt at o-,rich Matching In
Tampa.-Tampa Times.
