I'VE reiterate that per centum OF
the public lands in the several states
should be granted to the said states
to aid in construction Of permanent

DeIays-Red Tape.
I've believe one of the greatest
blessings the officials at Washington
could bestow upon the West would be
the elimination OF all red tape and the
taking of prompt action upon all mat
ters pending before the departments
and in which the Western states are
interested, and we are pleased to note
that efforts are already being made in
that direction.
Interior Department.
Eve are pleased at the thoughtful
ness Of the secretary of the interior
in sending SO many of his representa-.
tives to the irrigation conference now
in session in this city. We express our
appreciation III his intention to adopt
a more liberal policy toward the set
tlement and development Of the West.
and assure him of our hearty cooper
alton in this direction.
1--WE recommend that 10 per centum
of all vacant and unappropriated pub
lie lands in each Of the arid states be
donated to such states and each OF
them as shall SO request, said lands
to be sold by such states as other
state lands are disposed of and the
proceeds of such sales to form a reser.
voir fund to be used under the direc-
tion of the state for irrigation recla.
nation purposes.
1--WE urgently recommend that the
United States reclamation projects
now under process Of construction be
completed at the earliest practicable
moment and turned over to the
settlers hereunder as soon as can be.
Would Complete Projects.
eve urgently recommend that the
United States reclamation service i'm
mediately investigate any and all
Carey land, irrigation district or like
projects commenced or under con-
struction in the arid states and render
such projects all financial and other
assistance possible, to the end that
they may be Immediately completed
and the settlers hereunder protected
and assisted. and the persons holding
bonds issued Against said projects be
compensated as far as practicable.
Whereas, the Western governors
have received many kindnesses and
courtesies from Governor Ammons,
the good citizens of Colorado and Of
Denver in particular.
"Now, therefore, be 1t resolved, That
the hearty thanks of this conference
Of Western governors be extended to
Governor Ammons and the people Of
Denver and of the state of Colorado
for their uniform kindness and hos
pitality.
I'VE urge the press of the Western
states to investigate and actively sup
port these principles"
The governors re:affirmed the reso-
lutions they adopted at their Salt Lake
meeting in 1913. Governor Spry of
Utah is the new president of the Or
ganization and Governor Ernest Lister
of Washington is secretary.
The next meeting will be held in
Seattle in 1915. Most of the members
probably will attend the general gov
ernors' conference at Madison, Wis, In
June.

Request of Business Men.

The merchants of Elkader, mum

had full page advertisement in the
Elkader Register last week, advising
the people to be loyal to their home
towns and trade there. The text of
the matter is:
Be loyal to your home town Re-
member that every dollar kept in the
community is continually working
for the benefit OF the whole commit
nifty. 1t goes back and forth from
one business man to another and
may come back to you many times.
A dollar sent away has no further
usefulness here.
Your home town not only provides
a place for you to buy things you
need but it provides a market for
your produce. Its schools are ready
TO give your children better educa-
ton than the district schools can 1t
adds much to the way of social life
of the community and it's merchants
help you pay the taxes that maintain
the institutions of your county, build
its bridges and maintain its roads.
The simple existence of your home
town adds many dollars to the value
of the farms for miles around.
Think of these things before you
send your money away for things
YOUR home mercfan has or will get
for you.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy

If not remedied causes the hair roots

IGNORE ORDER FROM STATE
Railways Pay No Attention to Demand
for Freight Terminals in
Kansas City.

Topeka--The Kansas Utilities Com
mission will hold a hearing next
month to find out whether an order
made by a board of railroad commits
sioners seven years ago is being
obeyed The information which the
utilities commission has on the sub
ject is that the railroads never paid
any attention to the order.
In April, 1907, the railroad commits
sion ordered the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe, the Missouri Pacific, Union
Pacific and Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific railroads to establish freight
terminals and depots in Kansas City,
Kas., and Argentine, and that tariffs
should be filed so that Kansas ship
pers could bill goods to Kansas City,
Mo-, as all shipments are now billed
making an interstate commerce ship
ment The order was issued seven
years ago, but according to complaints
filed with the commission here
the railroads never paid any attention
to it and never established the freight
terminals and never put in the tariffs.
The commission will hold a hearing
in Kansas City, Kas., April % to find
out whether the order has been obeyed
and, if not, to take proper steps to
enforce the order.

hopes of saving any of the business

Thirteen business buildings in the
main part of town have burned and
the fire was not under control.
The fire started in Taylor's livery
barn in the central part of town about
$50 o'clock in the afternoon and soon
gained fierce Roadway A volunteer
fire department was handicapped be-
cause of an inadequate water supply,
Eskridge having nothing except wells
for it's city water source.
Two banks, three general mercan-
tile stores, the postoffice, the tele-

yard and hardware store are among
the largest concerns burned.

Black Hole of Calcutta.

The innate corruption and depravity
OF human nature were perhaps never
more clearly brought out than in the
historic Black Hole of Calcutta. That
atrocity stands unrivaled as an in
stance of the utmost suffering human
ity can endure, passed through by
large number, yet leaving a few sur
vivors to tell the tale. Many more
have been slain or executed at one
time, death being expected; butt
probably only safe keeping of the pris-
oners was intended, and only fear of
breaking a despot's sleep prevented
their earlier release Yet this torture,
"uneQualed in history or fiction,
whose record cannot be read unmoved
after the lapse of hundred and fifty
years" was produced merely by crowd
ing men together in an i'll ventilated
room. No fires, racks, nor Scourges
were needed; all that was done or re-
CURED to be done was to take from
each the amount of air and space to
which he was accustomed, crush him
into close proximity with his fellows,
