The most expensive printing press
employed in the prairie country is
the mammoth machine used in print
ing The Iowa Homestead. 1t is re-
ally one of the greatest inventions
of the age. It's mechanism includes
more than ten thousand pieces. With
all its massiveness it runs as true as
a watch, and does the most wonder
full things. It prints, folds and
binds The Homestead, which some
times contains "a pages, with a
speed and perfection that is little
short of magic. In a single week
it often prints seventy-five tons of
papers. The entire mechanical
equipment Of The Homestead is on
the same magnificent plan. The
Homestead and this paper are club
bed together at $1.75 per year for
both papers. Farmers who can de-
vote some time to soliciting sub
scriptions should learn the liberal
terms. offered by The Homestead.

CUBAN SCANDAL
is MADE public
Press Openly Charges President Co.
mez With melting the
Revolution.
Motive Was to Display Personal
Valor in Quelling the
Uprisings.

Havana, June 22.-The rumors
which have been long current thai
President Jose Miguel Gomez insti.
gated the revolution in Cuba for the
purpose of getting the credit OF
quelling it and thus increasing his
chances of reelection to the presi-
dency have now taken the form OF
q direct charge.
The newspaper Ed Dia declares
that President Gomez personally ar
ranged with Gov. Evaristo 3. Els
tenor to start the revolution and
then be bought off. President Co.
mez was then to pose as a strong
man capable of handling any situa-
tion and indispensable to the Cuban
republic. The paper continues that
when General Estenoz began the
work of conspiracy, authorities of
the province of Oriente reported all
the movements and plans of the con-
spirators to the president who per-
sonally transmitted them to General
Estenog for his guidance.
The paper charges that President
Gomez was fully Informed of the
details of the outbreak before March
10 and that he had taken precau-
lions toward keeping in constant
touch with General Estonoz.

VALUATIONS NOT TOO HIGH
Over Two Hundred Thousand Doll

! of Coal Land Near Rock
SprinRk.
(From a staff correspondent.l }

WASHINGTON. Aug. 18-(Special Tel
egram. )-Secretary Fisher, Of the Inter-
ior department, today sent long let
ter to Representative Mondell of Wyom-
ing. in which Mr.. Fisher takes occas-
ion to congratulate the department and
himself on the recent sale of 665 acres
Of coal lands in the Evanston land office
district within a short distance Of Rock
Springs. the aggregate sum for the land
being $263,S30. This sale according to
Secretary Fisher is significant as Illus
trating the practical effectiveness of the
present policy In the administration Of
the coal land law
''The charges that you have SO often
heard, and indeed have repeated to me"
says Secretary Fisher, ito the effect
that the valuation Of these coal lands
by the government geologlst, and the
prices thus established are 50 excessively
high as to defeat the purpose of develop
ment and paralyze the coal industry
of the Rocky mountain states, Is d.
rectly and effectively answered by this
action on the part of several of your
Wyoming fellow citizens These practi-
cal men have had this purchase under
consideration for sometime and this sale
illustrates well certain phases Of the
general public land policy Of today.
'As you know, 1t is the purpose Of
this administration to encourage present
day developments of the resources Of
the west, SO far as that Is attainable
under existing law, and at the same
time to protect future utilization from
the Ill effects of present day specula-
tive and industrial waste.
THE purpose in placing moderate val
uation upon the millions of acres of
coal land still In public ownership is
to make the prices at which these lands
are offered low enough to encourage
their acquisition for immediate develop
ment, but high enough TO prevent pur-
chase with no idea of immediate use.
1t is evident that the Wyoming busi-
ness men, who have acquired this sec
tion Of coal land expect soon to begin
to realize on their large investment, an
end that can be attained only by an
early beginning Of mining operations,
Thus one purpose of the public policy
is fulfilled

Chief Donahue is
Making Most Brave
Fight for His Life

Very slight improvement was noted
yesterday in the condition of Chief OF
Police ]. j. Donahue. At st. Joseph $
hospital the police official was able to
receive few friends and chat with his
wife, who is at his bedside almost con-
stantly. DR.. A. D. Dunn, one of the
attending physicians, said last night
that the improvement in the chiefs con-
dition not material one and that
chances for recovery are still slim.
Asked whether in his opinion the chiefs
case was hopeless. DR.. Dunn merely re-
piled, "while there's life, there's hope.
One of the most pathetic features of the
illness of Chief Donahue is the remark
able courage shown by his WIFE Mrs.
Donahue has been at the hospital every
day, putting in as many hours as pos
sible While attending physicians shook
their heads gravely and limited that It
wouid be- advisable for the patient to get
his affairs into shape, Mrs. Donahue has
refused to lose hope. Her confidence
and grit has been an inspiration to the
hospital attendants and to the patient
himself, and friends who have visited
the chiefs bedside say that the brave
little woman is responsible for the pro-
longing of her husbands life more than
the prescriptions of the doctors
