FKEE GOVERNMENT HOMES.
The' rush of homeseekers to secure
tracts of land under the various Irri
gation projects announced by the gov
ernment shows that the home build
ing instinct is as strong as ever in the
breasts of the American people.
As the government land, suitable
for homes, becomes further limited
in area, it Is more and more of an
outrage that public land should be ac
quired for speculation. Yet large
acreages are passing Into the hands
of the land grabbers, every day In the
year, under both the desert land law
and tlie commutation clause of the
homestead law, while under the tim
ber and stone law, not only the land
but the most valuable timber in the
world today Is being speculated In
with absolutely no regard for the set
tier or for the country at large.
These laws are active Instruments
in the stealing of the land which be
long to the people of the United
States. And there Is no citizen who
may not desire to avail himself of ills
right to. acquire some of tills land, lie
or his son.
All the great land Interests are a
unit in their opposition to the repeal
of these laws. They present a solid
front. They are organized; they are
aggressive and It is a sinister fact that
they have thus far prevented any
land reform legislation In congress.
Hut the country is becoming arous
ed to the fnct that it is being literally
robbed by a small band of selfish men
who would amass fortunes, and who.
by tha evasion of the spirit if not the
letter of the law, are absorbing the
choleest remaining tracts of land
whlah should be reserved for the real
home-maker.
And the men In congress who are
in reality bitterly hostile to any
change in tlieae land stealing laws,
are the same statesmen who most
loudly proclaim that they Are the
great friends of the settler, the home
builder and the small farmer. They
are found on the wrong side of every
land reform measure, yet urging with
might and main that the welfare or
the settler Is their sole object.
The fact reported In this morning's
telegrams that France is agitated
over the opposition of a complete
separation of church and state will
lend interest to the statement that
the government now levies tuxes and
pays over JS, 000,000 a year to the re
ligious orders, says the Xewlston Tri
bune. In an Important respect
France differs from Kngtaml, which
supports only the established Angli
can church and through parliament
retains Jurisdiction over the appoint
ments and disposal of material ques
tions. In France, on the contrary,
there is no state church mid all de
nominations share numerically in the
public appropriation, though the
Catholics are much more numerous
there than the Anglicans are In Eng
land. Owing to the great numerical
preponderance In France, by which
the Vatican gets nearly all the relig
ious revenues and the Protestants and
Jews very little, Home has had no
special reason to object to the state
appointments to bishoprics and other
places. The rupture that followed
the mandates from the Vatican to two
French bishops under penalty of ex
communication, and the contrary or
ders of the government under penalty
of suspending the prelates' income,
can now scarcely stop short of a fur
ther dissolution which neither side
desires.
P. T. liarnum once said: "If you
have J19 to put In use, pay $10 for an
article and tS for advertising. I can
out talk any man but a printer, but
the man who can stick type and the
next morning talk to a thousand men
wlille I am talklngto one, Is the man
I am afraid of, and I want to be his
friend."
It is a bright promise for Eastern '
Oregon to know that the same forces
that are working for Irrigation are
also working for the portage road. '
High Class Drug gists

who dbvoto their lives to the wolfure of their fellow men in supplying, the best of remedies arm

They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their lino, which usually ,cluuc
all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest anu

The earning of a fair living, with tho satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the ucnenis
conforred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greaiesi
roward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that syrup oi

Thoy know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousnees and constipation unu

ovor-eating, that thoro is no other romedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its euecis as
Syrup of Figs, and thoy are glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction.
Owing to tho oxcellenco of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it giveB anu uie
imraonso demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but tliere are
individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles
of tho profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not liesiiaio
to recommend and try to sell tho imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations
sometimes havo the name" Syrup of Figs" or "Fig Syrup" and of some Pi"1 concern,
or fictitious fig Byrup company, printed on the package, but they never have tlio lull name or
the Company California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package. The imitations
should bo rojected because they aro injurious to the system. In order to sell tho imitations
they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passes
off on a customer a preparation under the name of "Syrup of Figs" or "Fig Syrup, wlncli
does not bear tho full namo of the California Fig Svrup Co. printed on the front of the package,
ho is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter ins

physicians' prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who valueB health and Happiness.
Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand
for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased every
where, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions
exist it is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return
any imitation which may be sold to them. If it does not bear the full mime of the Company

The Sun Francisco Call. In speaking
of the release of the P.usslan cruiser
Lena, says:
The question of the Russian war
ship has been settled by the president
without ruffling the dignity of Japan
or Kusala. He gives her two months
which to make repairs anu tui
and aB an alternative she must
now or disarm and lie here till
the close of the war. Of course sue
will disarm nnd rock liiglorlously on
the bay until peace comes.
On wms grounds It will he regret
ted that her government does not ac
on the two months' time for re
pairs. She could be patched up and
nnnied in that time, and then Japan
would have a cruiser waiting for her

they met there would be a sea fight
