Because of the fight with Speaker
Baker in The House, it has been pro-
posed that no institutional commit
tee be permitted to make trips OF
investigation and that no special APP
preparations be allowed. This meets
with the partial endorsement of the

economy demands that the special
appropriations be cut as low as pos
sible this year in order that the tax
budget may be kept within bounds

Feb. 16 is the date set for the big
battle in the House over the tonnage
tax. Right on top of this measure.
which is so, bitterly opposed by the
mining companies. comes one which
they consider even worse. This Is to
tax the mines as now on an ad va
loren basis and in addition tax them
on their net incomes. BY this means
and by taxing all corporations on a
similar basis Il is hoped to make
them paw all the state taxes, leaving
to the individual property owners
only the necessity of paying local
taxes.
Senator Moriarty declares he will
retaliate upon the farmers for their
insistence on the tonnage tax by
putting in a bill providing for a
bushel tax b. which he will make the
farmers pay tax on every bushel of
wheat, corn, barley, rye, peaches. po-
tatoes, apples, pears and other fruits
and grains.

Indian Lands for
Whites in Colorado
Great Tract of $4,000 Acres Will
Soon Be Opened for Set
Element.

WASHINGTON, April 2s-About one
year from next fall 1t is expected the sur
veys OF the Colorado Indian reservation
will have been made and the Indians will
have been awarded their allotments which
will permit the remainder of the irr1gable
lands to be opened to the general settle
ment.
This reservation contains 10000 acres OF
land Of which 10000 acres are irrigable.
1t has been determined that each OF the
$50 Indians shall receive an allotment OF
ten acres. After this $500 acres has been
allotted the remainder OF the irrigable area,
approximately $4,000 acres will be avail
able for general settlement under such
regulations as the government may make.
While the survey of the land has been
ordered the Indian office is as yet not
able to tell when the work will be done.
The general land office will have direct
supervision of the work. It is declared,
however. that Il will be at least eighteen
months before the land can be opened.
With regard to the non-irrigable land in
the reservation, special action must be
taken by congress for its disposal. The
people interested in the Parker townsite
have been urging expedition in opening
these lands. but the Indian office contends
that while 1t desires 20 see the lands
opened It is concerned first 20 serve the
best interests OF the Indians.

MONTANA FAIRS ARE BOOMING

GREAT FALLS, Mont, April 2s.-Interest
in agricultural fairs has never been so keen
before in this section OF the country as
1t is this year and purses and attractions
which viii surpass anything in the state s
history. The people are waking up to the
belief that the county fair is the best sort
of advertising possible for the country and
they are seeing TO It that everything pos
sible is done TO insure great fairs this year.
The Great Falls fair will nearly double
the purses in the competitions OF it's
former fairs. The racing. too, will be given
an added attraction for horsemen by a cir
cult and better purses.
The big effort will be made in the effort
to bring out the best products OF the farm
The Northern Montana association which
conducts the fair will give $500 in prem
iums and the county OF Cascade will add
ST. 800 from the county funds to stimulate
interest in competition among the farmers
The Board OF Commerce will give $3.50 in
in prizes for showings OF Cascade county
grown goods in the sweepstake classes
The special interest will be centered IN
wheat and oats The farmers have come
to regard this a great wheat section
and they are proving the fact by produc-
ing from IS TO 30 bushels an acre OF the
very best grade OF wheat. The fairs are
drawing wider attention each year and this
season the outlook is for an unprecedented
attendance and lots OF exhibits.

physician. Pierre Mare. who found also that
in cases of abnormal growth this small
body had enlarged. He jumped at the idea
that it. must secrete something which
somehow affected the growth of the body.
Now It has been found that in the
pituitary gland are secreted a number
of liquid substances which are deposited
in the blood Possibly at future date
scientists may be able TO extract that one
unknown essential substance and by feed
ing the subject with it be able to make
the growth go on continuously. Now nor
NAL growth occurs in stages. There are
weeks when q child stays the same size.
This is followed by weeks when it grows,
for the pituitary body is only active by
fits.
when the unknown secretion is too
plentiful in adults 1t causes unusual stout
ness, but in the young who have not yet
finished their growth an abnormal growth
or giantism results. Science therefore
holds out the hope that people may not
only be able to regulate their height, but
beauty doctors may be able to work on
strictly scientific principles.

that her nose was symmetrical, a doctor
could bring 1t to the fine shape required by

NIGHTMARE OF A CHURCH
Cathedral of Moscow "the Most Ex-
traOrdinary and Fantastic''
Place of Worship.

Ono OF the most extraordinary and fan
tastic Christian places of worship In the
world is the Cathedral of Moscow-strange
not only in outline and conception, but
even stranger In its history. No one knows
the architects name, but the story goes
that the car ordered his eyes to be put
out directly the church was completed, so
that he should never be able to surpass
his work. The idea OF the building was in
spired by the wickedest and maddest mon
arch who ever sat on a throne-Ivan the
Terrible, car OF Muscovy.
The church is known as BasiIi Blajenni
or Blessed Basil, and is named after a
half-witted vagrant monk. who for some
strange reason was almost the only person
in the empire that the car feared. AL
though everyone else trembled before Ivan

memorial chapels beneath the cathedral.

During the last year have attended sew

reason for their existence the general
desire to establish more American homes
Without criticizing any of the good men
or women who attended these meetings and
are devoting their time and money for the
general good, must say that the worthy
man who needs help to get home OF his
own was not represented at any of these
meetings. During the last few years
have come in contact with many thou
sands of honest, sober, industrious work
ing people in the cities Of the central west
that honestly want to get back to the
farm but who cannot give up their posi-
tons and take chances on making a sue

means 10 establish themselves upon farm

our government has been selling from

yearly during the last several years. and
will no doubt continue to sell this much
during the next several years. and II a
healthy public sentiment could be created
in the west In favor OF a more liberal
policy toward the homeseeker who is will

would have the effect of relieving the con-
