Marshall was nominated for governor it was freely stated that he would receive a large number of republican votes because of his high personal character. ■ Doubtless quite a number of his re-

publican admirers have thought of supporting him, but as he has begun his campaign by attacking President Roosevelt it is pretty certain that by the time election day rolls around they will all decide that it will not pay to rebuke the president of the United States by giving aid and encouragement to one of his ablest detractors. —Crawfordsville Journal. In the beginning Mr. Marshall stated that he would make his fight on principles, not against men, and that is what he has been doing. He has acattked the policies of President Roosevelt not ail of them, but some of them. He has not attacked Roosevelt. Leading Republicans have attacked the president, and are still attacking him, but Mr. Marshall is not doing so. To differ in opinion with Roosevelt is not attacking him, and Mr. Marshall tells why he differs with him. It is up to the voter to determine whether Mr. Roosevelt Is right or Mr. Marshall is right. That is all there is to it There is B® abuse about it and no attack about it. Democrats could not make a campaign if they did not oppose many of the policies of the republican party and show up the shortcomings of that party. —Columbia City Post. It pays to be kind even to animals. A horse properly cared for and kindly Treated will last five years longer than one misused, according to statistics gathered by the president of the Connecticut humane society. The same evidence shows that a cow's productive life can be prolonged two years. Estimating the labor of a horse at 25 cents a day net and the milk at 3 cents a quart, kind treatment would adj nearly S4OO to the value of every horse and SIOO to every cow. It pays to be kind. CARD OF THANKS. Te desire to express our gratitude and heartfelt thanks to all who so promptly and kindly lent their assistance and sympathy to us in our sudden and sad bereavement in the death of Mrs. Mary A. Foor, and sister of Clayton E. Dailey. Eli S. Foor and family. Clayton E. Dailey and family. —o F. O. E. 1570. Meeting called 7:30 Thursday evening on account of initiation.

•GO VERM ENT LAND r . Three Hundred Farms to Be Offered Free in Wyoming i —— SHOSHONE PROJECT Information Concerning the Irrigated Country of Northwest Washington. D. C, May 27, 1908. — i (Special to Daily Democratt —In nor-1 thorn Wyoming. 75 miles east Os the i Teiiowstoiie National Park. 306 farms varying in size from 40 to 160 acres ■ have just been thrown open to entry and settlement under the Reclamation : Act. This tract of about 15,000 acres constitutes what is known as the first ■ unit of the Shoshone irrigation project. The farms are obtainable under the Homestead Law. subject to the charges of actual cost of supplying water I to the land. This charge has been fixed at $45 per acre, payable in not less than five nor more than ten annual installments In addition to this the pettier is required to pay an annual fee for maintenance and operation of $1 per acre. The first installment of $5.50 per acre is due and payable at the time application is made for water right for any farm unit. The second installment will be due on or before December 1, 1909, thus giving early settlers an opportunity of securing two crops before the second ( payment becomes due. The elevation is about 4.400 feet above sea level, and the temperature seldom goes above 95 degrees in summer or below zero during the winter months. The valley is sheltered by I mountain ranges on every side, and no blizzards, cyclones or other severe storms ever occur there. i

Tte crops that can be grown on the Shoshone project are those common. to the temperate zone. Alfalfa, wheat, oats, barley, timothy, potatoes, sugar beets and all other crops produced in the state of the Mississippi valley of the same latitude are grown here. Wheat of excellent quality averages 40 bushels to the acre, oats average 55 to 60 bushels, and potatoes yield * 250 to 300 bushels per acre. Sugar beets contain a large percentage of saccharine matter and a beet sugar factory is projected for this project as soon as the acreage settled is large enough W warrant It. At present the beets are shipped to the factory at Billings. Montana Hardy varieties of apples, pears, plums, cherries ard small fruits may be successfully grown. Large numbers of cattle and sheep graze on the lands surrounding the project, and there will always be a home market for hay. Transportation facilities are furnished by a branch of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad, which passes through the entire length of the pioject, and a line under construction giving a north and south trunk line from Denver, Colorado to the Pacific coast via Billings and Great Falls, Montana. Four flourishing towns, viz: Cody, Powell, Garland and Ralston are located on this project, containing schools, churches, banks, newspapers, manufacturing establishments, hotels, stores, etc., and offering fine opportunities for professional and business men and laborers. The surrounding mountains are covered with spruce and fir and supply the farmers with timber and the stockmen with summer range. Large coal mines operated in the vicinity supply cheap fuel for domestic and manufacturing purposes Well water of good quality is found at depths varying from 30 to 50 feet. Every settler will need gome capitaL

[The amount, of course, will vary with [the man. but $1,660 or its equivalent, |is desirable. He will need a house to live in. well, fences, barn, provisions tor his family and feed for his working animals sufficient to last c-ne year, as well as machinery, tools, etc. Arrangements have been perfected whereby settlers will be given opportunity by the reclamation service to work out their water right payments in excavating canals, extending the present system to cover additional lands.
