Available Lead Limited. "This constant withdrawal of land In th Interest of conservation is each il v ro that sold at $25.00 and 27.50, now that sold at $30.00 and 32.50, now that sold at $35.00 and 37.50, now that sold at $40.00 and $45.00, now that sold at $47.50 and $50.00, now AU Alterations Are Free Sal f 3 For Misses and Little WomeB Jieautiful wash dresses that have regularly sold at $3.00, $4.00, $5.00, $6.00, $7.50, $10.00 and upwards can now be bought for $1.50, $2.00, $2.50, $3.00, $3.75, $5.00 and on just one-half price.

The sheep that have been de -ed grazing in Montana would produce $350,)00 worth of wool and mutton each year. "I put this into thj record, Mr. Presi dent, because I think it is one of the abuses which is being practiced by this poser to withdraw these lands. While they cannot any longer withdraw land In the State of Idaho, the country, generally. I presume, is Interested in having these grazing lands open to the sheep, wh'ch are to be raised upon the Western plains and prairies, if at all to any great extent." LAWYER GIVEN DIVORCE George V.
