COQUILLE, COOS COUNTY, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1905. Race Decadence vice of women will impair the high ideal of home. The newer ideal, that men must cease fighting and thus remove one prolific cause for woman’s weeping, and that they shall together build up a more per­ fect home and a more ideal govern­ ment, is infinitely more sane and desiralde. Participation in the lar­ ger and broader concerns of (he State, will increase instead of de­ crease the efficiency of motherhood, and tend to develop that selfcontrol, that more perfect judgment which is wanting in much of the home training of today.— A nna H oward S haw in Progress.

The national reclamation act, sometimes called the n dional irri­ gation law, became a law on Janu­ ary 17, 1902. (32 Stat. 388.) This ast provides that all moneys re­ ceived from the sale of public lauds in Arizon, California, Colorado, Ida­ ho, Kansas, Montane, Nebraska, Ne­ vada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming shall be set aside as a special fund in the United States treasury to be known as the “ Reclamation Fund,” The reclamation fund excepts the 5 per cent of the proceeds set aside for educational and other purposes. At the present time the reclamation fund amounts to about $48,000,000 and is increasing at the rate of $4,000,000 a year. Under the re­ clamation act the fund is “ to be used iu the examination aud survey for, and the construction and main­ tenance of irrigation works for the storage, diversion and development of waters for the reclamation of and and semi-arid lands” in the 16 states and territories. The purpose of the government under the na­ tional reclamational act is to make homes for homeseekers. After the irrigation works are constructed, the sums expended are to be returned to the government in teu annual in­ stallments. Thus the reclamation fund is self-continuing, aud after ir­ rigation works have been construct­ ed the money can be used for further development, as it is constantly re­ turned to the reclamation fund by the settlers. The public lauds af­ fected by the reclamation act are subject to eutry under the provi­ sions of the homestead laws in tracts of not less than 40 nor more than 160 a'-res. No right to the use of water for land in private ownership shall be sold for a tract exceeding 160 acres to any one land owner. The land owner must be an actual bona fide resident on the land aud the settler on the public domain must be a boua fide settler. Any one desiring further information should write to the general land office department of the interior, Washington, D. C., for the circular from the general laud office issued January 25, 1904. This circular shows the manner of proceeding to obtain title to public lands under the homestead, desert land and other laws.—-Ex.

Sherwood, National Bank of Commerce, New York City The United States Patent Office is very much behind with its work and business iu thousands of offices and factories of the of the United States is hampered by this condi­ tion. The number of examiners in the Patent Office has been greatly increased. Congress has been lib­ eral iu appropriations for tho Pat­ ent Office, and it is believed that the delay is in great part necessary. Former Commissioners of Patents, when the work was behind, have required the examiners to workover hours until they brought their work up to date. This simple expedient lias impressed them with import­ ance of working during regular hours and has proved nn effective remedy. N o m e N P H N O iiablc i t l f l « « KaviHl I I I » l i i l c . J. W. Davenport, Wingo, K y., writes, June 14, 1902: “ I want to tell you I believe Ballard's Snow Liniment saved my life. I was under the treatment of two doctors, and they told me one of my lungs was entirley gone, and the other badly affected. I also had a lump on my side. I don’t ‘ think that I could have lived over two months longer. I was induced by a friend to try Ballard’s Snow Liniment, i The first application gave me great relief; two fifty cent bottles cured me sound and well. It is a won­ derful medicine and I recommend it to suffering humanity. Sold by R. S. Knowlton. A name well and most favorably known and respected by the entire trade. TWO MACHINES IN ONE.

It is almost sure to be needed before winter is over, and much more prompt and satisfactory results are obtained when taken as soon as a cold is contracted and before it has bedome settled in the system, which can only be dene by keep­ ing the remedy at hand. This remedy is so widely known and so altogether good that no one should hesitate about buying it in prefer­ ence to any other. In is for sale by R. S. Knowlton. Domestic nowlton’s Drug Store L.
