"As I,hers See U.s."

4 The strongest endorsement that
any man can receive is the testimony
cf intimate friends and near neigh
bcrs. In a political campaign. in
affairs purely local, people usually
want to know who's who and what
what in making their final decision.
We take great pleasure In presenting
the testimony OF A. +. Disbrow,
prominent attorney OF Denver, as 10
tne character and qualifications OF IL.
A. Minor. republican candidate for
county Judge in this county IL 10
the testimony of a boyhood friend
who has known him for years, ana
reads as follows:
Nv Dear Friend and Comrade:
/ see that you are candidate for
county Judge, I only wish your sterl-
ing qualities of heart and head were
known to every voter In your county
as they are known to me and all
your friends in Northern Colorado
and Illinois.
Judge, you have filled SO many po-
sitious Cr honor and trust that l
am somewhat surprised that you
accepted the nomination. AT q
social gathering recently the merits
OF yourself and others was discussed.
One Of your friends said that while
you were modest and retiring In your
disposition, your knowledge OF law.

and goodness Of heart. gave you the
bearing and dignity of the nations

save the union. wish the good peo-
ple of your county could but get .
glimpse Of your service In one OF
the greatest battles OF the Civil war
-"Pittsburg Landing" or better
known as the Battle of Shiloh.
where you braved the storm of shot
and shell and when your comrades
on every side went down. you In the
fearIessness of your young blood
never faltered. and 30 those who
know you best, believe that you Will
be faithful and just in the discharge
OF every duty imposed upon you BY

This letter Of enconfum to you

HAS EDUCATIONAL AIMS
The league recommends the found
ing of educational societies which will
foster the German language and lit
erature, teach those anxious to learn
and arrange courses of lectures on art
and science and questions of general
interest 1t recommends systematic
investigation of the share Germans
have had in the development of their
adopted country, in war and In peace.
in all kinds of German-American ac-
tivity, from the earliest days, as the
basis for the founding and continu
ance Of a German American history,
for the deeds of our German ancestors
are hidden in the dust of time. Anglo
American historians have marveled at
this; thus Bancroft says of the Ger
mans In America:
Neither they nor their descendants
have laid claim to all that is their due.
1t has been said that this may be at
tributable partly to language, partly
to race instincts and hereditary ten
dencies. Quiet in their tastes, deeply
absorbed in the peaceful avocations OF
life, undemonstrative to the verge OF
diffidence, without clannish propensi-
ties, they have permitted their more
aggressive neighbors to deny them
proper place even on the historic
page"
To bring about a change in this re-
spect and to publish all the historical
facts is one of the objects OF the Ger
man American league.

tics by the German-American, our ma

YARD LOSES GREAT
TRACTS OF TIMBER
Federal Authorities Decide the
Famous California Land
Fraud Case

In a recent decision handed down by
the commissioner of the general land
office of the United States, H II. Yard,
whose locations of land in Butte and
Plumas counties have peen attacked by
State Mineralogist Lewis E. Aubury,
has met with a signal reverse. The
decision has just been rendered by the
commissioner, in which he upholds the
decision of the Susanville land office
relating to 5000 or more acres in the
Butterfly, Clear Creek and Shoofy dis
tricts.
In 1902 Aubury called the govern
ment's attention to the alleged fraudu-
lent entry Of timber lands in Butte
and Plumas counties by H H Yard.
Yard had entered by placer mineral To-
cation 265,000 acres of land. and this
decision may apply on all of his loca-
tions, as it is alleged that they were
all Of the same character
1t was said in the letter ordering the
hearing that the charges were that the
lands were Of nonmineral character;
that no mineral had been discovered
on the lands, and that the proper de-
velopment work had not been per-
formed. 1t was also charged that some
Of the locators, not for their own
benefit but in the interest of Yard,
Joined in the locating of the land
The hearing was ordered to deter
mine only the character OF the land
and the validity of the locations. In
the testimony before the commissioner
it was brought out that most of the
claims were located in 1902, and that
in all of the cases the locators and
the grantees had ample time and oppor-
tunity to explore and develop the
claims, but in no instance did they
show that mineral in paying quantities
existed in any of the locations. The
finding Of the commissioner is as fol-
lows:
The prima facie showing by the
government that the lands do not con-
tain such valuable deposits of mineral
as would subject them to entry under
the mining laws and regulations has
not been met or overcome by the de-
PENDANTS, and 1t is accordingly held
that the locations were invalid when
made, because of the insufficiency of
discovery, and that the prospecting
thereon since the dates OF location has
failed to show the lands TO be valuable
for their mineral deposits, and it is,
therefore. insufficient to warrant To-
Gators in continuing in possession
thereof"

to contend with strange language;
secondly, his integrity and love Of per-
sonal liberty cause him to rebel against
the trammels of strict party control
and to spurn obsequious obedience to
the behests OF political bosses; thirdly,
as he is almost without exception prof.
cient IN either a trade or profession
and Is by nature frugal, saving and in
dustrious. he finds it pays him better
to stick to his trade than to join the
boys and take up the precarious life
of a practical politician.
"It has been to a great extent his
province, like the busy bee, to gather
the honey others have enjoyed. The
very reasons which have prevented him
from playing brilliant role have
tended, however, to exert cogent and
beneficial influence on our body polite,
for 1t Is largely from German ranks
that the careful, conservative, inde-
pendent vote is recruited He asks no
political favors and prostitutes his vote
for no one; he desires an honest. just,
patriotic government for and by the
people, and asks not what is in itl'
