Sibylee Man Wants to Know Who Is
the Small Ranchman.

Sibylee, Wyo., Jan. 81.
To the Editor of The Republican.
In the wool growers convention we
heard from one and all, Give the small
ranchman the preference"
Who is the small ranchman of Wyo-
ming? l would guess the man that
had from six to twenty townships I'M
der fence or control.
Say, who is the small ranchman?
Give him the preference. oh, how we
do love him. Oh, yes, he has the pref
erence Of 100 acres if we cant get
it first. oh, how we do love him.
Yes, he has the preference of taking
a hundred dollars or so for his 16U
acres or leave with nothing.
Who is the small ranchman? Oh,
yes, he is the man that has a line of
fence running so far you could not
find the end Of it between two suns.
Oh, how we do love him.
Let us see, who is the small ranch,
man? Please, somebody, tell us who
he is, it would not be right to pass
him and not know. Would be glad to
know him. G. j.

Offer of Laramie Drug Co.

Sufferers Will be Interested in Specia.
Offer of Laramie Drug Co.
The unusual offer made by Laramie
Drug company to refund the purchase
price of Hyomei to any person it fails
to benefit, shows its confidence in the
remedy, and should dispel all doubts
as to its curative powers. You do not
risk a cen in testing the healing vir,
tues of Hyomei, for the Laramie Drug
company takes all the risk of its Civ
ing satisfaction and leaves you to be the
judge as to whether it costs you any
thing or not.
There is no dangerous stomach drug,
ging when Hyomei is used. Breathed
through the neat pocket inhaler that
comes with every $1.0O outfit, its heal
ing balsams destroy all germs even in
the most remote air cells and quick
recovery follows.
If you suffer from offensive breath,
raising of mucous sneezing fits, husky
voice, discharge from the nose, drop,
pings from the throat, or any other
catarrhal symptoms, begin the use OF
Hyomei.

LAND COMPANY WINS.
Carey Act Made to Apply In Douglas
Land District.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 2S.-The
question long disputed as to whether
the tract of 1896 acres in the Douglas
land district, should be allowed the La
Prele Reservoir and Ditch company
under the Carey desert land act, was
finally settled today by the contract
being signed by President Roosevelt.
This is the elimination of over a
years effort in the departments to 3D.
tain this segregation on account of the
adverse claims that the lands were
more favorable for coal and oil than
for agriculture.

They have secured a number of good
leases below town and will proceed to
drill a well on the Fred Freeburg
ranch at once This is about one mile
this side of the dome of the anticlinal

there it will prove hat the whole Ian

the American National Live Stock as

other gentleman who seemed TO be
more wise standing there, said that it

is right.
Mondell Purchase Bill.
Mr.. Mondell has another bill that
you ought to understand which pro-
vides for the dlsposing of the alternate
sections within the railroad limits
and whereby no one person can buy
over four sections. In this way pro,
tecting against the abuse of gobbling
up large qualities of land by individ-
uals. Price, SLIPS per acre, ten annual
payments, without interest, of twelve
and one-half cents per acre each year.
A trife more than> the rental price
per acre from the government. Should
this bill pass and prove to be satisfac-
tory then the remaining part of the
public domain might pass into private
ownership, thereby settling all trou.
bles, becoming taxable property to the
state and county and the government
getting paid for their lands, and wrong
ing nobody. Show me any man who
had rather be a renter rnau d land
owner and | will show you a man that
is selfish or ion-progressive and has
little interest in the welfare Of his own
progeny or the state mat he lives in.
Troubles That Would Arise.
l could site you to many other trou-
bles that would arise should the Burk-
EFT bill become a law. One thing
want to quote you: Assuming that
the BurKett bill is now a law and per-
mits are now issued and all the land
that belongs to the government that
Is in our county is taken up under
these permits, and live stock sufficient
now on hand to use up all of the
grasses Now we will assume that |
will bring in fifty farmers and sell
them eighty acres of land apiece. The
president and the agricultural depart
ments say to you plainly through Mr..
Pinchot and Mr.. Potter that the small
man must always have the preference.
| put this same question to Mr.. Pot
ter in Denver and asked him directly
what will you do with these eighty
acre fellows? His answer was this,
that all who held permits would have
10 give up part of their permit hold
ings to each and every n of the eigh-
ty-acre fellows. l told a prominent
Texas man this, his answer was that
he did not believe that such a thing
could be done and he did not under
stand it that way at all. These are
questions for you to digest.
Has Some Eighty-Acre Men.
want to say to you positively that
we have some of these eighty-acre
men here now and will bring in a
great many more in the next two
years. l suppose some of you fellows
who would have to give up some of
your holdings to your newly made
%neighbors, and probably sell some of
your stock at what you thought a less
price than it was worth, very likely
you would want to blow the govern
ment up then, and God only knows

THE COME AND SEE SIGN

This sign is permanently attached
to the front of the main building of
the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine
Company, Lynn, Mass.
What Does This Sign Mean?
1t means that public inspection of
the Laboratory and methods of doing
business is honestly desired. Itmeans
that there is nothing about the bus
mess which is not open and above
board"
1t means that a permanent invita-
ton is extended to anyone to come
and verify any and all statements
made in the advertisements of Lydia
E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Is it a purely vegetable compound
made from roots and herbs with
out drugs?
Come and See.
Do the women of America continu-
ally use as much of it as we are told ?
Come and See.
Was there ever such a person as
Lydia E. Pinkham, and Is there any
Mrs. Pinkham now to whom sick
woman are asked to write?
Come and See.
Is the vast private correspondence
with sick women conducted by
women only, and are the letters kept
strictly confidential?
Come and See.
Have they really got letters from
over one million, n hundred
thousand women correspondents?
Come and See.
Have they proof that Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
cured thousands of these women?
Come and See.
This advertisement is only for
doubters. The great army of women
who know from their own personal
experience that no medicine in the
world equals Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound for female ills
will still go on using and being ben
Gifted by it; but the poor doubling,
suffering woman must, for her own
sake, be taught confidence, forshe also
might just as well regain her health.

SOME OF HIS OPINIONS ON
THE RANGE QUESTION.
Gives Approval of MondelI Bills Now
Before Congress and Predicts Dire
Disaster If Burkett Bill Becomes
a Law, Quoting Maximum Figures
From Pinchot.
Laramie, Wyo., Jan. 81, 1908.

~ SNa 49, i'NoH
To the Editor of The Republican.
Bankers, merchants and business
men, including sheep, cattle and horse
men; especially those who are inter,
ested in building up the state they
live in:
The Mondell bill as ] understand it,
gives the man who takes up a home
stead 800 acres of land instead of 100
acres. Readers, would this not be a
good thing for the home-maker? And
more, it restores to all who have lost
their homestead rights, unless it was
by fraudulent abuse. Would not this
be a good thing both for the poor man
and our state? Can any fair-minded
man who is non-selfish object to this -?
Notwithstanding, Secretary Garfield
refused to give the bill his support.
Certainly Mr.. Garfield cannot under
stand the situation as does Mr.. Mon
dell who has grown up in this country
and has gone over it acre by acre. Mr..
Garfield only knows the country
through the windows of the moving
train. No question but what Mr.. Gar
field would have endorsed the Mondell
bill if there was no Burkett bill to
