Homestead Bill a Law.
The Mondell bill to permit hows* J
steading of 830 acres of non-timbsrsd, '
non-irrlgable land In the states of *
Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Montana, 1
Oregon, Washington, Nevada and
the territories of New Mexioo ana |
Arisons has passed Congress and |
been signed by the president It al- ,
lows for filing on 820 acres of land j
after secretary of the Interior ,
has decided that the land cannot be ,
irrigated at a reasonable cost from
any known aupply of water.
In Utah residence is not required J
upon the land, but a double cultiva
tion is required In lieu thereof. The |
law requires that in all states exoept
Utah one-eighth of the land shall be \
ouUfirated the second and third years '
and one-fourth the fourth and fifth
years. In Utah one-eighth shall bo 1
cultivated the second year, one
fourth the next year, and one-half I
the next two years. i
Hemes leaders who have taken op I
100 under the old laws, may file on an ]
additional adjoining 100, providing ■
they have not yet proved up on the i
original entry. Residence on the i
original entry constitutes legal real- ]
dence on the entire 820 acres.

In a recent interview with an ofll
cial of one of the Gould roada it waa
learned that the Rock Island had
made an offer for a controlling Inter*
est in the Denver £ Rio Grande, but
that the Goulds had refused to eon*
sider the sale of the Colorado road.
The Roek Island very much de
sires an outlet to the Paolfle coast
from Colorado Springs and Denver,
and would undoubtedly spencha con
siderable amount of money to aeonre
a through line to the coaat.
The Goulds announce that before
October 1st next they will spend $18,-
000,000 on the Denver 6 Rio Grande
betjpreen Denver and Halt Lake City*
The entire roadbed will be re ballas
ted, new 90-pound steel rails laid
where needed, and the track put In
first-class condition. By the first ot
October the Western Pacific, from
Salt Lake to San Francisco, will be
completed, wbeft the Goulds will
have a continuous line from the At*
laaeiVta tbs Pacific. . .
A*aaChe matn line Is pot In
shape the Rio Grande will commence
building feeders. This is the phase
of the railway situation in which we
on White river are interested.
The Weather.
The storm which had been general
throughout the Rocky Mountain re
gion the latter part of last and the
fort part of this week, hit the White
River valley Sunday night and Mon
day. Considerable snow fell during
the two days—the fall being heavier
in the lower valley than up in this
violnity.
After the snow a severe cold spell
set In and lasted through Monday
and Tuesday.
Since then it has been cold by
spells, thawing and “betwixt and be
tween" weather generally.
la fact, we are not inclined to risk
our reputation as a first class weatber
prophet in making any predictions
for the coming week—though it
looks like sunshine.
The writer waa on a D. A R. G.
train a few days ago that was delayed
twelve hours by a snowslide in the
Grand Canon; of course no one want
ed to be delayed, still ho one found
fault with the railroad, in fact they
realised why mountain roads have to
obarge higher fare than a railroad in
the east; there were 110 men at work
shoveling out a bank of snow 100 feet
long and 46 feet deep. The conduc
, tor furnished meals for all that coif Id
not afford to buy, although not
obliged to, and during the last few
1 hours there were four trains, all with
dining cars. ‘There happened to be
some musicians on the train, so one
of the dining cars was cleared of the
tables and a dance arranged, and.
» say, there was a lot of fun—really
quite a number were sorry that the
1 snowslide was cleared away so soon.
I want to say that the D. A R. G.
boys treated all fine; I think the
railroad companies, should allow
employees to use their own Judgment,
; In case of such unavoidable delays.—

“Record Just Magnificent.”
The American fleet entered Hamp
ton Roads last Monday after the four-'
teen months cruise around the Vorld, i
, without a scratch to show the effects
of a, trip unparalleled In naval his
tory. The fleet was reviewed by
President Roosevelt, who said, “Not'
until some American fleet returns |
victorious from • a great sea .battle ,
will there be another such home-1
I coming as this. * * Returning home
i without a scratch, it is magnificent."

A New York dispatch reports that
a big war in the steel and iron trade
|s on. The steel trust Is going to try
find crush the small independent
concerns.
This Is about the season of the year
that the star baseball player writes
to the “magnate" and says he (the
star) is in grand shape for the coin
ing contest; and then in the post
script asks for about S2OO advance
money.
According to Denver advices, Bry
an is credited with the statement
that if offered the Democratic presi
dential nomination for a fourth time
be would pot decline. Mr. Bryau is
B big man in many ways, but it is
iy>t likely the party will call oo him
to make the race for the presidency
again.
William Jennings Bryan spent last
Saturday and Sunday in Denver on
invitation of the legislature, which
body he addressed on the subject of
party pledges. The Great Commoner
Was eloquent and forceful, bu£ side*
stepped taking sides with either ele
ment of the Colorado Democracy on
pending measures.
There is a splendid opening in Den
ver for a straight Democratic daily
newspaper, one that is not owned by
a would-be boss who must have
everything his own way. Any tick
et not selected by Senator Patterson
personally is a “corporation" ticket,
every man not to his way of thinking
is “dishonest." We suggest that
there is lots of room in the Indepen
dence League for a newspaper tnan
who wants everything his own dray.

The senate sub-committee, which
has had under consideration Pres.
Roosevelt’s action in consenting to
the absorption of the Tennessee Coal
A Iron company by the steel trust,
has filed a report condemning the
president and finding him guilty of
usurpation of authority In his in
structions to Attorney General Bona
parte. The president claims his ac
tion was necessary to prevent a panic.
The committee denies the legal right
of the president to anticipate panics,
and intimates that Mr. Roosevelt was
ilfgM ths president, not the proph
et, of the country.
Congressman-elect Bd T. Taylor,
who has been In California for the
past several weeks, recuperating
from a threatened attack of nervous
prostration, returned to his home In
Glenwood Springs last Tuesday. The
genial Edward T. Is In much better
health than when he departed for
the coast, but he has been warned by
his physician that for some time to
come he must be very careful as to
his health. Mr. Taylor remained in
Glenwood Springs until Thursday
morning, when he started for Wash
ington to attend the extra session of
congress which convenes March 10th
to consider a revision of the tariff
and other Important matters. Mr.
Taylor enroute to Washington will
stop off at Denver to attend a bar as
sociation banquet and to confer with
U. S. Senator Hughes.—Rifle Tele

In sickness, if a certain hidden
nerve goes wrong, then the organ
that this nerve controls will also
surtly fall. It may be a Stomach
nerve, or it may have given strength
and support to the Heart or Kidneys.
It was Dr. Sboop who flpat pointed to
this vital truth. Dr. Slump's Restor
ative was not made to dose the Stom
ach nor to temporarily stimulate the
Heart or Kidneys. The old-fash
ioned method Is all wrong. Dr.
Shoop’s Restorative goes directly to
these failing inside nerve*. The re
markable success of this prescription
demonstrates the wisdom of treating
the actual cause of these falling or
gans. And it is indeed easy to prove.
A simple five or ten days test will
surely tell. Try it once, and see!
