Accused Of Land Frauds.

HELENA, June 17.-Charged with
conspiracy to defraud the government
Of large tracts of lands In the Bitter
Root valley, Ravalli county, Harri.
son S. Lord and Robert A. O'Hara
were arranged in the federal court
this afternoon before Judge Rasch.
Their request for time in which to
plead was granted by the court.
1t is said that no matter what the
outcome of this case, the titles held by
innocent purchasers Of land will not
be affected. The defendants are charg.
ed with having paid 20 persons to enter
upon 20 different tracts situ ated In the
Bitter Root above the Lolo fork OF
the Bitter Root river, as agents and
employees of the defendants, intending
to acquire the lands for the Bitter
Root District Irrigation company and
its successor, the Bitter Root Valley
Irrigation company then to dispose OF
such lands to persons who would have
no knowledge of the name Ia which
they we're acquired and thereby to pre-
vent the United States from recovering
them by suit.

Settlers May Lose Lands.

KALIsPELL, June l6.-Information
has Just reached here of the organiza.
ton at Poison, OF the Homesteaders'
Protective assoct alton by nearly a
hundred homesteaders involved in the
alleged policy OF the interior depart
ment to allot their improved lands to
Indians, and a systematic effort will
be make to bring the situation to the
attention of the authorities in the hope
that the Indians will not be given their
claims.
Cooler judgment prevented the
adoption of resolutions condemnatory
of the general policy of the govern.
ment in handling the alton. ].
L. McMichael, q we'll educated farmer
of Poison, was elected president of the
association.
The taking Of the lands would mean
driving 200 settlers from homes made
in good faith, and leaving many pen
niless. Attorney G. H. Foot of this
city has been retained by the home
stesders.

A bundle of Siberian alfalfa was

The alfalfa is a yellow blossomed va.
riety raised by Prot. Hensen of South
Dakota, from seed which he brought
back from Siberia at the time he made
the trip for the department of agricul-
ture in search of hardy varieties Of
alfalfa. Two years ago the Thomas
O'Hsnlon company OF this place, pur.
chased a large number of the plants
from Prof. Hensen and distributed
them free among alfalfa growers OF
this section in order that their value
might be tested.
Mr.. B~lackwood was given q number

and they are now we'll established.
The sample he brought in this week
wac three and q half feet high and

"Magic Foot Drafts" a Fake.

"Megic Foot Drafts" is a widely
exploited humbug from Jackson,
Mich, advertised intern tionally,
consisting OF a mass of pine tar and
some other ingredients spread on a
piece of oilcloth and sold to eimple
minded people to apply to the soles
OF their feet. The value OF the plaster
mass for one pair is estimated at one.
third of q cent; they cell for q dollar
a pair, according TO the Journal of
the American Medical association.
They are supposed to draw the rheu.
matte poison from the whole system
through the soles OF the feet.
According to S. II. Adams in his
Great American Fraud series, "They
might as we'll be affixed to the barn
door," The analysis of the bureau
of chemistry of the department OF az
ricultnre showed that these plastere
consisted of poke root, 30 per cent.
pine tar, 81 per cent, and corn meal,
8 per cent. A number of the officers
of this company are said to be inter
ested in other fraudulent medical com
pauies. The amusement which the
promoters of this fake lind in selling
a mass of pine tar, cor meal and
poke root to draw poison out of the
feet of gullible suckers must be almos'
enough to compensate them for carry
ing on the business, to say nothing O,
the enormous profit.

May Not Find Them or House Ethel
ON Your Return.

When you go down town or out
to visit a neighbor, do not lock the
children in the house. During the
cold weather when you are crowding
your fires this injunction is espec-
tally timely. For nearly two weeks
the exchange editor of the Reflector
has noticed in the metropolitan pa
pers every day story like this:
Mrs. So-and-so went down town to
shop, or across the street to visit
a neighbor. She carefully covered
the fire so the children could not
get at it and then locked the doors
with the children safe in the house.
She was called home by the an
nouncement that her home was on
fire and her children dead" In a
morning newspaper last week there
we're five of such tragedies reported.
Never leave your children at home
alone in the house.
