means of arriving at the actual Vaiue
of each particular tract.
Every safeguard has beer thrown
around this grant to protect II
against monopolization that exists III
onv other land bill, and additional
projections that do not exist in otper
land bills. Coal entries are limited
to $40 acres; timber and stone en-
tries were limited as to acres, anu
dosart land entries were limited as 10
acres. These we're the only precau-
lions that the legislators could per-
ceive that could be thrown around
these acts.
OF course frauds we're attempted
upon the government in the enor,
to monopolize these various charac-
tiers of land under said acts, u
these frauds have been so severely
prosecuted, both criminally n CIV
lily, that the attempts at such frauds
have become improbable.
If any citizens OF Nevada attempt
through agents or dummy loeators or
through other fraud to acquire more
than GAO acres under this act, they
will be subject to the same proseeu-
ton. both criminally and civilly, as
has been maintained in the frauds
that | have Just referred to. A citizen
can acquire but one section OF lana
and after such acquisition he cannot
bid on another. He makes his selec-
ton and 1t is advertised for sale. He
can make only one selection. He can
not bid on any other tract until he
bids on the one he has selected. II
he acquires it at the sale he is foreV-
er barred from bidding on any other
section. If there be forty farmers In
a valley, each would probably bid on
the section adjoining his ranch, as 1t
would be more valuable to him than
anyone else. If he did bid on the
section adjoining his own ranch he
would be debarred from bidding on
any other section, unless he fail to
acquire the one he bid IN l antici-
pate that every farmer in the state
will thus increase his holdings, there
by benefitting himself, benefitting
the schools and the university, and
to the taxable property of the

l passed through the Senate two
other bills for the benefit of the set

One of these provides that a citizen

Steel Company Indicted

Indictments were returned March
8 at Youngstown, o., b ythe Mahon-
ing county grand jury against the
United States Steel corporation, five

Germs we're indicted:

lowed a sweeping probe of the East
Youngstown riots and labor troubles
of January.
The specific offense charged
against the six steel concerns is that
they %conspired to keep the wages OF
common labor at the anne figure at
the time of the strike at the Repub-
lie Iron and Steel company and the

villa Raids American Town


Francisco Villa, outlawed Mexican
bandit, raided United States territory
on Thursday. With 1900 men he at
tackled Columbus, New Mexico, killed
at least sixteen Americans and fired
many buildings before he was driven
back across the international border
At least ESQ troopers of the Thir-
teenth United States cavalry follow
ed the Villa band into Mexico. The
small detachment of troopers under
Majors Tompkins and Lindsey, fight
ingdismounted, made a determined
stand against the renewed Villa at
tack, and at last reports were hold
ing their ground.
The raid to American territory
proved costly to the bandit chieftan.
The bodies of eighteen Mexican BAN
dts, including Pablo Lopez, second
in command, had been gathered and
burned before noon, and troopers re-
ported an undetermined number OF
dead still lying in the brush.
The casualties of the Thirteenth
cavalry was seven killed and five
wounded.
Villas total losses in the days
fighting we're estimated in excess OF
100 killed and twice as many wound
ed. The American pursuit into Mexico
which ended about 2 o'clock, was
reported to have accounted for more
than rs Mexicans killed and wound
ed.
American losses on the Mexican
side was one corporal slain when
Villa threw out a heavy guard to
engage the pursuing American troop
ers.
OF the eight American civilians
slain, Charles Dewitt Miller of Albu-
querque and DR.. II. j. Hart of Ell
Paso were burned to death in the fire
that destroyed the Commercial hotel.

send American troops across the bor-

is one of the reasons why we are
asking for a further grant. One o.
the chief arguments against the bill
in the Senate was that the lane
would not be sold for its real value
but sacrificed. Some of the senators
suggested that there should be a
limit of ten dollars per acre placed
upon the land.
1t is apparent that If such a re.
striction were placed upon the grant
that nearly all of the land would be
unsold, as most of the known water
in our state has been acquired. My
amendment was intended to meet
this objection and to suggest the best

slightest foundation for the story

THE NEIGHBORLY MAN

Some are eager to be famous. some

Some are toiling to be leaders of their
nation or their State,
And in every mans ambition, if we
only understood
There is much that's fine and splendid;
every hope is mostly good
So | cling onto the notion that con-
tented | will be
If the men upon life's highway find a
needed friend in me.
I rather like to putter round the walks
and yards of life,
To spray at night the roses that are
burned and Drowned with strife;
To eat frugal dinner, but always 70
a chair
For the unexpected stranger that my
simple meal would share.
/ don't care to be a traveller, | would
rather be the one
Sitting calmly by the roadside helping
weary travellers on.
I'd like to be neighbor IN the good
old-fashioned way
Finding much to do for others. but not
over much to say.
| like to read the papers, but | do not
yearn to see
What the journal in the morning has
been moved to say of me;
In the silence and shadows | would
live my life and die
And depend for fond remembrance on
some grateful passers-by.
CUES | wasn't fashioned for the bril-
liant things of earth,
Wasn't gifted much with talent OF
designed for special worth,
'But was just sent here to putter with
life's little odds and ends
And keep a simple corner where the
stirring highway bends;
And if folks should chance to linger,
worn and weary through the day
To do some needed service and to
cheer them on their way.
