U. 8. LAND OFFICE
Hugo, Colorado. Sept. 8. 1912.
Mr.. Walter L. Bales
First View, Colo.
Dear Sir:
In the matter of your final
proof on Homestead Entry No.
O12O94, offered on August "a,
1912, you are advised that the
proof has been suspended on ac-
count of the withdrawal of the
township in which your land is
located, for resurvey. Upon the
completion of the resurvey and
filing of plat, further action will
be taken on your proof.
Yours truly,
P. o. HEDLUND, Register.
JOHN L. DICKINSON, Receiver.
The above letter is of interest
to homesteaders in Township Ia,
Range 46 and other townships
where resurveys may be made.
A letter from Mr.. Bales addressed
to Mr.. Hedlund brought forth
the following reply;
Hugo, Colo. Sept. 10, 1912.
Friend Bales:
We have no means of knowing
when the plat of the resurvey of
Cheyenne county will be filed.
It ought to be soon. The sus-
pension does not prevent proofs
being offered on entries made
prior to the suspension. May 1911.
Yours truly
P. o. HEDLUND, Register.
It seems to us that the home-
steader would be much better off
if he did not attempt to make
final proof on his homestead, at
least until after the county is re-
surveyed. It will probably be
from one to three years before
those who have already proved
up will get their patents, owing
to the slowness in which the
government officers handle this
department.

THE DEATH OF NoGI.


The suicide Of General Count Nogi
and his wife at the bier of the Japan
csc emperor, in the fulfllment of q
strange tradition as an imaginary sac
rifce to patriotism, gives to the world
a thought that cannot be overlooked,
OF lightly considered. 1t is while ia
pan has grown to be recognized as a
world power, and is now numbered
among the civilized nations OF the
world, II is this Spartan-like deter
mination. though still tinged with the
element of barbarism, that is greatly
responsible for it's military achieve
ments. 1t is the defiance and love of
death for the emperor, that has made
the soldiers almost invincible and IN
conquerable in its recent wars.
Inspired by century learned motives
as mysterious and incomprehensible
az they are terrible, who knows what
the. may do? Nogi's self-destruction
was intended, no doubt, as an inspira-
tior 70 those who may follow him. II
will be received by his people as a
| holy sacrifice Of g martyr, and they
will be moved by the spirit Of the dead
as IT may come TO them. The Japanese
Z people, believing, too, in that peculiar
/ idea OF fatalism for which they are
I known, they will always be
found a people to reckon with In con
tests which try the strength Of ma
| tons.

AW0MANyO OBSERVATIONS


friends were laying" for them.
The bride was Immediately ap- |
propriated by all the good looking
young men in the hall. Not once
during the evening was her husband
permitted to dance with her or even
get near her.
The bridegroom and mother-in-law
were courteously but firmly cohduct-
ed here and there until the groom
had announced to each guest:
Il am married now. This is my
mother-in-law. Everybody please pray
for me-"
After the ceremony the groom was
not permitted to dance with any
body but the mother-in-law, and re-
Quired to treat her in every respect
as II he was dee-lighted, while his
| friends stood around with sorrowful
faces and made plying remarks.
In due time the bride and her
mother were respectfully escorted
home, but the groom was spirited
away to a far off den, where he was
relieved of all his money and served
with a supper of limburger cheese
and trimmin's. There he heard con-
dolences and was compelled to make
speech bewailing his unhappy lot
while welding an onion-soaked hand
kerchief, which caused most natural
looking tears to course down his
cheeks.
When the last owl car had ratified
its way home, the bridegroom was
told that he might HE himself home

he was entirely cash-less, so he

THAI they demanded for them here
at home.
why don't you get up an exhibit
and show that" said Mrs. Slayden.
You'll have half the housewives in
America preaching democracy from
the housetops."
So the idea of the exhibit was grad
ually evolved. 1t has many attrac-
lions. Under tent there is Tariff
Misfortune Teller" who will explain
the Tariff Misfortunes" TO any one
who wants TO hear them. You can
find out there just what you would
have to pay for any article if there
were no protective tariff.
There is group of three wax fig-
ures against one wall. One Of them
represents the capitalist, this man
gets it," another the working man,
this man pays it," and the third,
Colonel Roosevelt, blowing hot air
/ through tube. A placard makes him
say: What in blazes ails that pay en-
/ velope-Im blowing as hard as ever"
A group of small balloons repre-
sents the fragrant fragments of the
! tobacco trust" This is also a SYM
bolic group. In another place a live
( horse will work at a treadmill He is
just out of reach of the fodder which
he continually strives TO get. Doesn't
have horse sense" reads the placard.
/ Neither do you if you keep yourself
on the protection treadmill any
/ longer"
Another placard informs the public
! that the democratic party takes good
care of this horse.
There are cartoons on the walls by
all the famous New York cartoonists.
/ They are the original drawings of the
cartoons which have appeared in va
/ rious newspapers lately. There are
quotations from Roosevelt and refuta-
tons by Woodrow Wilson, and all
sorts of tables, statements and even
I epigrams, such as the following:
/ THE tariff is not a stimulus, but a
/ sterilizer"
THE threat to reduce wages if the
/ tariff is lowered is the hallmark of ig-
norant management"
One of the browning features of the
exhibit is a home in which several
rooms are represented. In each room
the articles are labeled with the prices
paid for them by the exhibit commits
sion and the amount they would cost
I If there were no tariff For instance.
/ the placard on the dining room chairs
/ reads as follows:
! For these dining room chairs We
/ paid here Sc. The duty is 35 per cent
OF the value. That is the reason we
paid so much"
/ The duty on household goods varies
between IS per cent aad so per cent:
on clothes between 80 per cent and
/ 80 per cent. A sewing machine is ex-
/ hlbited with the receipted bill show
ing the amount paid for 1t by the ex-
hibtt committee. The placard reads:
! This sewing machine costs in New
York $50. 1t is offered for export at
$1S.62. The foreign dealers can add
80 and one-third per ceat to cover
! charges and profit and sell in England
or Holland for S24s3. Shoes are
shown for which s3S5 was paid in
Calcutta and. duplicate pair for
which s. was paid in New York. There
is a typewriter for which $50 was
paid. The export price is given at
SIS. a cigar is exhibited which cost
Is cents in New York, and which Is
sold for seven cents IA Gibraltar"
