Historical Footnote.

Socrates had just swallowed the hem
lock.
There's no benzoate of soda in it,
anyhow he said, "and I'd rather take
my dose all at once and have it over than
to linger along for years as a member OF
a poison squad"
But Plato, who was paid by the line,
worked up this simple incident into a
story of several thousand words.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
lie diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way TO cure deafness. and that is
Nv constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by the inf1amcd condition OF the mu-
cOus lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube Is infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed. Deafness is the result. and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal cOndi-
ton. hearing will be destroyed forever: nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an tuh..med condition
of the mucous surfaces.

WORK OF
CONGRESS



Senator Teller of Colorado adj
dressed the Senate Wednesday in sup
port of Senator BacoD's resolution de-
claring that the Senate has a right to
any information in possession of the
executive departments and cited vari-
Gus precedentS to sustain his conten-
ton. He claimed that only in excep-
tional cases is the President warranted
in withholding information. General
debate on the agricultural appropria-
ton bill afforded critics and defenders
OF the Department of Agriculture an
excellent field day. Mr.. Lever IS. c.
led off with an attack on the appoint
ment and work of the referee board Of
consulting chemists in the department.
Mr.. Hefiin (Ala.) asked on behalf of
cotton growers for a governmental
monthly report on the consumption Of
cotton Mr.. Sturgis wv. Va urged
an extension Of the forest service. Mr..
Humphrey (Wash.) took an exactly
opposite view, while Mr. Mondell
(Wyo.1 declared the bureau of forestry
the most autOcratic government bureau
outside of Russia. Mr.. Bartholdt
(Mo) urged the issue of bonds for
inland water way Improvement and Mr..
Chandler MISS complained Of the
tariff on agricultural implements.
Chairman Scott of the agricultural
committee closed the debate with eX-
planatory remarks on work done by the
department during the last year. When
the bill was under consideration under
the ffve-minute rule an increase of $500
to the salary of Solicitor George p. Nc
Cabe, making it $500, was stricken
out on Il point Of order. An increase
Of the salary of Director Willis 3.
Moore of the weather bureau from So
600 to $4,000 suffered similar fate.

If at the time of the opening people
would take their turn and secure lots
at the minimum price-the price set
by the government-:own property
would then have a base of valuation
upon which to build and everything
would be better. Every dollar from
the sale at this auction goes 10 the
Indian department and out of the
country. Therefore, would it not be
preferable. if there is any booming
to be done, to wait until this town
site has been acquired at the lowest
possible figure showing a good title?
Then il will be better to pay 500 for
a lot and leave the money in the coun-
try than to bid SO on auction day
and see il leave for good.
The time is coming when this town
is going to boom. If people want to
place their money here, through com
petitive bids. thereby crea ting a ficti-
tious value. and wait for the develop
ment. which will come later. to make
their investments valuable. well and
good. as it is their privilege When
any price is paid above the appraised
valuation it will be an initiation which
will have TO be met by future condi-
tions.

broad mesa tract seventy five feet

mountains that surround this land are
mineral bearing and. furthermore. are
located. II is stated that there are
more than 1000 mineral locations
