However rich We may once have
been in earthly love, and however
poor we may be to-day, we may be
many times richer if only the heart Is
open for the entrance of the Infinite

ISSUES AHEAD OF TAFT.
Head of the National Association of Manufacturers Urges Business Men to Assist President in
 Carrying Out His

Men to Assist President tn
 Carrying Out His
 Policies.
 Tn an open letter to business men, urging them to strengthen the hands of President Taft, James Van Cleave, president of the National Association of Manufacturers, says:
 Larger issues are just ahead of MT. Taft than confronted any pre- vious President since the civil war and reconstruction days. Let me call the roll of a few of the great ques. lions which will have to be grappled with in the next year or two:
 "An adjustment of the tariff which will bring it down to date.
 "The establishment of a board of able, alert, non.partisan business men to make the investigations on which all future tariff notifications must be grounded.
 "A reshaping of our banking and general financial system which will meet AuOuSIH uSllduuSs
 The establishment of good feeling between the North and South.
 "The enactment of a law by which the President and the federal courts can protect the treaty rights of aliens when assailed by local legislation, as was proposed in California and Ne vada.
 "The rescue of the great mass of the manufacturers and other business interests from domination, actual or threatened, by illegal combinations
 "The defense of the honest worker, the honest employer and the masses of the people in general against the warfare waged upon them by the forces who want to abolish the injunc tion and to legalize picketlng, boycott ting and their other anti-American practices.
 MT. Taft needs the aid of the great conservative, non-partisan busi ness element of the country in do ing the work which is just before him. It will be a pleasure as well as a duty for us to give it.
 As business men we want the early return of confidence and prosperity and cooperation with MT. Taft will hasten this return.
 ''All of us believe that the interests of the country are safe in President Taft's hands. The country wants progress, wants sanity, balance and true Americanisln All of these, am confident, we will have in the admins tration which has just begun"

HoME-MAKERS PROTECTED.
Government Valves Technical Defects in Final Proof of Homestead
 EptPu

Entry.
 By ruling of the Department of the Interior, the Los Angeles register and receiver are sustained in an inl- portant decision affecting homestead. CTS
 The case was that of John J. Vignus grandson of Louis Vignes, one of the first men in California to propagate grapes for commercial use. He filed a homestead entry upon a mountain ranch near Newhall and at once be- gan it's improvement.
 When he tried to secure final proof, a protest was entered to the effect that he had not lived on the land con- tinuously and had not made the place his bona fide residence. When the spe- cial government agent made report adverse to the homesteader, the entry was suspended and hearing ordered before the local officials.
 But the entryman had shown such desire to improve his place and to make it the permanent home of his family that the officials decided in his favor. On appeal, the commissioner of the General Land Office reversed the local finding. Vignes then took his case to the Secretary of the In terior and it was decided in his ia vor.
 Vignes has been a farmer all his life. He and his family are dependent solely upon his farming for a living. During the school term, the family was at a rented place at Los Cerritos, about forty miles from the homestead. When the family was at the home stead, Vignes would attend to the dairy and farm at Cerritos part of the time.
 Both parents were determined that their five daughters should have schooling. They are people of refine ment, and would not neglect their children
 The Los Angeles Land Office Off. cials said ill their decision:
 This gentleman and his wife de serve the home. The office knows of no better distribution of the public lands of this district than to a man with five daughters, who is making such fight to educate them, and finally to get from rented to fee sim pie lands"
 The register and receiver, upon the showing, ruled that the proceedings for the rejection of final proof be dis missed, and that the entry should be passed to patent
 Upon appeal, the commissioner ad hered to the strict ruling of the law and reversed the local officials. But the final authority, the Secretary of the Interior. states. in addressing the commissioner. that the latter erred in separating the question of residence from other questions-circumstances and environment.

Bogus Nugget Jewelry.

The oasis., 1909-10-30

the same on their way through Arizona.
 The JournalMiner says: "On the trio at the time were an assort- ment that if genuine would run to over 5000 in value. The designs were of exclusive nugget jewelry, and so skillfully was the manufac- ture accomplished that the ordin- ary man would be duped on sight. The personal supply was limited but later through the vigilance of Sheriff Smith an astonishing revel- ation of the purposes of this trium- virate was given publicity when three large boxes were intercepted that came to the above people through the Wells Fargo Express company and which were taken from that office by this official.
 The metallic composition of these goods was such as to easily mislead owing to the many designs that were moulded. No two pieces were alike and to make the game a bit ing one for the unsophisticated some of the nuggets were carefully sprinkled with tiny pieces of quartz that showed the fine hand of the artist that knew something about auriferous productions.
 In color these nuggets would easily trap an experienced man and the only deception as to their genuine character was reflected in the light weight of each article picked up. Even then it would be difficult for the inexperienced to detect the bogus manufacture.
 The men were held under $500 bond to appear before the next grand jury.
