up to 7J cents, and this is not all, it will keep
going up as long as the property gets better, as
it is" you should, buy before, another raise in

should consider this as being a home enterprise

many way in handling the pqw as
well a the milk after being drawn

LEASIHG PROBLEM !
i -
(Observer Special)
Washington, D. C. Feb. 28. Western
state will be compelled to fee a rang
leasirur oolicr in due courts of time, if
the present trend of events in regard toKboi
public domain continues. No such a law
will get throngh the present Congress, as
the leaders of the two houses are not
ready to precipitate discussion, but it is
apparant to observing men that the time
is not distant when such will be the case,
and leading stockmen are already pre
paring for the issue. Those given to
careful research are endeavoring to get
facts for presentation. Texas, in her
career of liberal and independent ' treat
ment of public lands is a shining example
..
-!
ences are also being exploited. The
customs of the entire country based upon
the principle of getting puplic land into
the private ownership of the individual,
are being offered on the side of those op
posed to the leasing system.
Since the Public Land Commission re
ported in favor of leasing that part of the
public domain adapted to range purposes,
the policy ie regarded as having Adminis
tration backing. President Roosevelt's
reference to the subject in his message
was the last endorsement, which was
expected to force the question this Con
gress. As the first session draws to
ward it close, there seems no room for
range-leasing before the summer ad
journment The next seisior will be
short, .and unless the adminiatration
presses urgently for consideration of this
measure, or pro-leasing interest perform
the same service, it is hardly probably
that the short term wiil create the law
that is bound to have broad influence up
on the entire West.
In whatever is done, there are sure to
be provisions that will facilitate the home
steader. Some advocates of leasing be
lieve that the homestead entryman should
have the right to enter upon land during
the term of even an annual, lease, after
proving his bona fide home purpose.
Other are inclined to think that settle
ment of the country will be amply safe
guarded by providing that the homestead
entryman shall be given access the land

Miss Doerr's Letter Tells How Vinol
Helps People in This Condition
By request the following letter is pub'
lished In the hope that persons who are
in poor condition will be convinced that
Vinol is really what we claim."
Mis Anna Doerr, a prominent woman
of Evantville, Ind., write "My health
wa broken, my appetite gone, my nerve
shattered, and I was simply in a wretch
ed condition. I had tried to many medi
cine, and doctor without help that I wa
thoroughly discouraged. As a last resort
I tried the qod liver oil preparation. Vinol,
and to my surprise, it had none of the fishy
greasy or disagreeable taste of old
fashioned cod liver oil or emulsions, and
it was delicious to take. In a remarkably
short time it gave me a hearty appetite,
built up my nervous system, and restored
me to pert ct health and strength.
"Vinol ouree such condition a these
because it contain every one of the
medicinal, curative and bodybuilding .ele
ment of ood liver oil and without om
drop or the yttm clogging oil to upset
the stomach and retard Its work. It im
parts in a natural manner strength and
vigor to every organ of the body, aids
digestion and make rich, red blood. We
ask every run down, nervous and debili
tated, aged or weak person in La Orande
and every person suffering from stubborn
colds, hanging-on coughs,, qr bronchitis, to
try Vinol on our guarantee. It oosts
nothing if it fail to give satisfaction."

only after expiration of a rang lease.
Champion of the small stockmen will
also insist that an entryman taking range
land shall be insured a good rang acreage
ut nis homestead, which others can
not lease. The range homestead has
been suggested as a law that would en
courage the cattle industry at least, if
not the sheep, and recognize the semi
arid condition of the country. This sug
gestion is to let a man take large range
acreage as a single homestead, the limit
being such probable yield of forage as the
average agricultural homestead yields.
' All of the solution proposed could not
be enumerated in a limited space, but
enough have been advanced to prove that
n.,u mi 4U..MW1I iiiu.1, imaiiy ue uvoiu-
ed, there will be a wide diversity of
courses offered. Western states should
begin a careful study of the eituation.
They will be most vitally affected, and
unless their righte as states and industrial
commonwealths are ably championed in
the formative hour of law making, theor
ies that are utterly Impracticable may be
forced upon them.
There has been such a stir throushout
the East in regard to the public domain,
that radical action might be expected if
the true status of the West is not made
the subject of constant education. Many
Eastern people regard the acquisition of
more than 160 acres of public land by
one person or company aa "land grab
bing." , They do not realize the necessi
ties of a range country. When informed
on the timber acreage required by a large
lumber concern before erecting a mill,
they are inclined to style the business
precaution a public outrage. To meet
such view a these, and have whatever
legislation is enacted kept upon a plana
permitting the most rapid and permanent
Western -development, many Western
people are already anticipating the dis
cussion by gathering data.

OLD
SORES
Old borcn that rcfum; to heal are a ccuetanl X IllVVlvI II
menace to health. They sap the vitality and undermine tiiv cuiibtitution by
draining the system of it very life fluids, and those afflicted with one of
these ulcers grow despondent and almost desperate as one treatment after
another fail. They patiently apply salves, washes, plasters, etc., but iu
tpite of all these the tore refuses to heal and eats deeper into the surround
ing flesh, destroying the tissue and growing to be a festering, inflamed and
ingnr mass. The source of the trouble is in the blood. This vital fluid is
5Ue4 with impurities and poisons, which are constantly being discharged
into the sore or ulcer, making it impossible for the place to heal. It will not
do to depend on external applications for a cure, becaune they do not reach
the real cause, and valuable time is lost experimenting with such treatment;
the most they can do ia keep the ulcer clean. Any sore that will not heal is
dangerous, foVthe reason that it may have the deadly germs of Cancer behind
it. A cure can be brought about only through a remedy that can change the
juahty of the blood, and this is what
bottom of the trouble, drives out
