Towanda, Pa. Il took little orphan
boy to live with me and last Christmas
he contracted hard cold which de-
veloped into bronchitis. He was very
i'll and bad cough set in so that he
coughed night and day. After trying
everything, nothing seemed to do him
any good, until along in February /
got a bottle of Vinol. After using half
the bottle his cough began to improve,
and two bottles entirely cured his
bronchitis and he gained in weight so
that he doesn't look like the same
child" Harry A. Stephenson, Towanda,
Pa.
The reason that cough syrups fail in
such cases is because they are palia>

A. Grant Miller, socialist candidate
for United States senator. during a
speech at Winnemucca Monday night,
prefaced his remarks by saying that

Of which 100000 acres are owned
by the Southern Pacific, and 100000
more by other private corporations,
says the Carson News.

by mining" continued the speaker,
for there are not enough of them.
You cannot make populous state by
cattle and sheep raising, for these
Industries furnish employment to
few men. The only
method left to populate our state is
by agriculture. and to do this the
people must get their land free of
cost and the federal government must
supply the required water for irriga-
ton.
Senator Pittman introduced bill
In congress to sell 100000 acres of
the best land In the state to the
highest bidder. in return for the
promise of denomination over Pat
McCarrar. whom he fears above all

matter of fact, all of this land has
already been selected, surveyed and
mapped. and 1t embraces the cream
OF all the land left in the state.

senate what had become OF the

former land grant of 100000 acres,
Senator Pittman replied that 1t had
furnished homes to 1000 families.
Inquiry at the Carson land Office
shows that it Is now owned by Lux,
Miller & Lux, and Miller. When
Senator Newlands was asked by
Senator Martin of South Dakota, on
the floor of the senate, If he thought
the land was actually worth SLIPS per
acre, he replied that while he hardly
thought so, he would defer to the
judgment of his colleague.
"One syndicate has already selected
$4,000 acres of this land that is
worth SOS an acre, for which 1t will
pay SLIPS per acre If this bill becomes
a law.

After careful estimates, the value
of this entire 100000 acres of land
has been conservatively placed at

at $1,25. leaving o profit of 1925 per
acre, or total Of more than $685..
