A Great Land opening.

Special to THE COMET
A number of exceptional opportuni-
ties will be offered this spring by the
government for enterprising and intel.
ligent farmers to secure choice farms
on a dozen or more large irrigation
projects which are now nearing com.
pletion.
Owing to the rapid narrowing of the
limits of the unoccupied public domain,
it is doubtful il these opportunities
will ever occur again. It is probable,
therefore, that the west will see one Of
the greatest infiuxes of homeseekers in
1908 that has been witnessed in many
years.
The great fertility and wonderful
crop yields from irrigated lands, and
the favorable terms the government Of
fers settlers, warrants the belief that
before the year closes not single farm
will be without its entryman. These
farms are located in North Dakota,
Montana, Wyoming and Nevada.
A letter addressed to the Statistician,
q. S. Reclamation Service, Washing.
ton, will secure full information con.
corning the location, soil, climate,
crop possibilities and terms of dis
posal.

the record and upon no information specifically referred to) that in con sessions in the character for which the defendant Is before the court had been indicted, tried and convicted the New Jersey corporation was not a virgin offender.
 Is a sentence such as this sound? Can court without abuse of judicial discretion wipe out all the property of the defendant before the court and all the assets to which its creditors look in an effort to reach and punish a party that Is not before the court-a party that Is not even indicted? Can an American judge without abuse of judicial discretion condemn any one who has not had his day In court?
 That to our mind Is strange doc- trlne In Anglo-Saxon jurisprudence, Can that rightfully be done here on no other basis than the judges personal belief that the party marked by him for punishment deserves punishment? If so 1t Is because the man who hap pens to be the judge Is above the law"
