burdensOme. An individual can take up
only $50 acres of land at the prices
fixed. A firm or corporation can take
up 800 acres. and if at least $4,000 Is
spent for development they may take
up an additional $40 acres adjoining,
providing no one has done so already
In practice this provision seldom gives
a corporation or firm the opportunity
of acquiring the additional $40 acres
II is plain that where a company has
to spend a quarter Of million dollars
for railroad outlet. and a million
more for equipment, $40 acre tract
scarcely justifies such expenditures
Protect Phosphate Beds
The protection of the public land
phosphate beds in the west is deemed
absolutely essential 70 the welfare of
the nation. There are three things as
necessary TO the growth of crops as wa
ter, food and raiment are essential to
human welfare These three things
are nitrogen. potash and phOsphOric
acid. Each is absolutely essential to
plant growth.
Potash exists in the rocks in suffi-
cient quantities to supply every need
when 1T cannot be bought or made more
cheaply from other sources. The le-
guminous plants. with their little chem
ical laboratories at their roots. can
grab enough nitrogen from the air to
supply the wants of the fields But
when the phosphate beds are gone. no
one has solved the problem where 10
get phosphorus .
With this situation in view the adj
ministration wants 10 preserve and pro-
tect the phosphate beds. 1t is seeking
to have law passed by congress which
will /enablc it 10 lease the lands on
royalty not exceeding 10 percent of the
value of the phosphate at the mouth
of the mine. This would give OppOr-
tunity to provide in the terms of the
lease that none of it should be exported
or wasted.
The proposed law sets forth that the
lessee shall pay a rental of 25 cents
per acre for the first year. and increas-
ing % cents each year thereafter I'M
til the annual rental is 81 per acre.
These rentals are to be deducted from
the amounts due the government in
royalties. thus encouraging the work
ing of the properties. Surveys during
the past year have resulted in the with
drawal of 1884, 900 acres of public land
pending legislation by congress the
disposition of phosphate deposits. In
other words. the executive departments
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1910-03-12

think that this land ought not to be
disposed of under existing statutes, SO
they are holding it until congress can
have an opportunity to act in the mat
ter
Get Oil Lands by SubterfuGe-
Oil comes under the old placer gold
mining law a man must discover
some mineral before he has q right TO
the land If a man thought he had
found oil and had begun to bore for il,
some other fellow could run in and
bore close to him. and the one who
got oil first had the right to the prop
erty by discovery Consequently it was
not a profitable thing 70 gamble on
finding oil under such circumstances
The result was that subterfuges were
resOrted to-
Gypsum deposits that are worthless
from a commercial standpoint are to
be found in the oil territory in Cali
forniha. An oil prospector finds gyp-
sum on the land, and preempts it by
right of discovery. The law requires
that 800 shall be spent in develop
ment on each tract. and one may travel
through the oil country and see mag
nificent gypsum steirways standing in
the open They lead nowhere, but to
a perfect title for oil lands. and are a
standing Joke on the tehcnical fulfil
ment of the law and the absolute VIOLA
ton Of its spirit
There are today 3.4S7.0O acres of oil
lands withdrawn from the right Of ac-
quisition until congress shall make
plan for its disposition IT is the hope
of the authorities that this shall take
the form of a royalty lease. with a stip-
ulatiOn that the government shall have
first chance at the oil for It's oil burn
ing battleships.
Power Site Withdrawals.
The Withdrawals of power sites to
date include 1.50O,00 acres of land. ly-
ing in II states and situated 81
rivers. 1t is not the aim OF the adj
ministratiOn 10 prevent the development
of the sites. but that it shall be done
under lorS term leases instead Of per-
petuity. II is held that these fabulous
" valuable franchises belong to the
PEOPLE, and that when they are acquired
as gift the people are forced TO pay
dividends on what they gave away for
nothing.
BY leasing the sites for a term Of
years it leaves the ultimate control in
the hands of the people themselves. the

T Uncle SAM is at last succeeding in
his efforts TO protect the coal,
~ phosphate. oil beds and water
power on the lands still owned by him.
He has parties in the field making ex
tended, detailed surveys of tracts down
to the smallest legal subdivision. and
when deposits are found he proposes
TO dispose Of them ct a price common
surate with at least an approximation
OF their value
He is now willing to sell coal lands
on a fee simple basis, but If the views
of the responsible authorities are ac-
cepted by congress. the oil and phos-
phate deposits and the water power
will be leased and not sold. Leasing
of coal is also urged because it will
afford a better method of controlling
waste.
Land Enhanced In Value.
When a man can by the expenditure
of less than 10 cents an acre-and in
some cases less than ! cent-enhance
the selling value of his land from s2o
per acre To as much as s465 per acre,
he is something of genius. Yet that
is exactly what the geological survey
has been doing since 1906.
There still remains some 20. 600. 600
acres of coal land in the possession
OF the government about 50.000.00o
acres already having been taken up.
The old law. which was passed in 1878,
set forth that all coal land should be
sold under certain terms. and limited
the amount any individual or corpora
ton could buy. All such lands with
in Is miles of railroad should be
sold at not less than" $50 per- acre;
and al over Is miles should be sold at
mot less than" $40 per acre.
Under the Interpretation of the law
the not less than was entirely omit
ted. and $40 and $50 were made the
maximum and only prices. Then the
regulations OF 1906 were prepared. and
they took cognizance of the mot less

be sold on basis OF their coal de-
posts. So the land was ordered clasSi

Mrs. T.: The very best hair tonic that
! know of is made by mixing half pint
of water with half a pint of alcohol,
then adding one ounce of beta-canthol.
l am sure this will stop your hair fall
ing out and promote its growth. You
can get the beta-canthol from any
druggist in one ounce bottles and this
will make a full pint of hair tonic.
Miss L. NJ: wouldn't advise you to
use the electric needle for removing su-
per1uous hair unless you are sure the
operator is an expert. You can easily
remove the hairs yourself by mixing a
little delol powder with enough warm
water to make paste. Smear over the
hairs to be removed, leave on for a few
minutes, then scrape off and the hairs
will come off with the paste. You can
get this delol from airy first-class drug
store.
Miss Jennie K: Wrinkles are caused
by an impoverished condition of the
skin The skin needs food as we'll as
anything else The best way to feed
the skin is by massaging with a good
cream. The very best I know of is
made by heating a pint of water to
boiling point, then add three ounces Of
cerol and stir constantly until cold.
Massage morning and night with this
and your wrinkles will soon disappear.
Anna H.: Those yellow spots on your
face are probably caused by a bad
stomach and inactive liver. Take a ta-
blespoonful Of olive oil every night and
morning for three weeks, and have
your druggist fill this prescription:
Compound tincture of cinchona, one
ounce; prosene compound, one ounce;
sherry wine, half a pint Take tea
spoonful before meals and at bed
time. This will set your stomach right
and the oil win start your liver to
action.
Mrs Fl. H: I know Just how you
feel There is nothing so uncOmforta-
BILE as tired, aching, tender, sWeaty
feet. We don't give cur feet the atten-
ton they need I know if you will get
an ounce bottle of boro listor from
your druggist, dissolve this in one and
a half pints of boiling water. then add
half a pint Of alcohol. Now every
night put a couple Of tablespoonfuls
of this solution into a basin of water
and battle the feet; you'll be surprised
at the instant relief you will get.
Mrs. A. r. b.: DO not use these So
called dry shampoos on your hair
