"The Forest Reserve methods are the most unscientifc of all and to the forest system it is the coveted prize of the friends of all the leasing bills; that any leasing bill which has for it's object the fencing of the public do- main for short or a long period, is clearly contrary to the, best interests of this country, and contrary to the policy of this government; and any homestead bill permitting six hundred and forty (640) acres or more is pre- ferable, giving permanency to settle ment and deeding lands to settlers who pay taxes on the land and become permanent fixtures following dry farming, and protecting the lands from over stocking, thereby causing the extra two blades to grow.
 Railroad land grant owners who own the alternate sections of land in Arizona and New Mexico, embracing a strip of land eighty miles long in Arizona, and equally as much in New Mexico, amounting to 10000, ,000 acres would, in the event of the enactment of grazing law, be put in position to monopolize an equal amount of government, and dry farming land, as already the cream of our fair land has been gobbled up from lieu land scrip from this source.

 "We ask also that congress be re- quested to appropriate from S50,000,- 900 to 100,000,000 and loan the same to Arizona for the purpose of water storage, and also cede all unappropri- ated government land within it's bord CTS to the state, and ask for an exten- sion of time to fifty years at three per cent to enable the settlers under the Roosevelt dam project to repay the government:
 "That congress be requested to take steps to require Old Mexico's defacto government to reimburse our citizens for losses of life, property, and time during the last three years of the beef eating contest in Mexico, by ced- ing to the United States all of Lower California and Sonora:

Denouncing Medicines.

Wholesale denunciation Of proprie-
tary medicines is no more justifiable
than wholesale denunciation Of the
medical profession. 1t is no more true
that there are reputable physicians
who unselfishly devote their lives to
an intending struggle with disease
than that there are standard remedies
which do as good a work; often where
the work of the good physician cannot
reach. A good example is Lydia T.
