# Sunset (magazine)/Volume 36/The Land-Grant Lobby

March 1916
The Land-Grant Lobby
ONCE upon a time S. A. D. Puter wrote a book in which he placed a royal crown upon his head. The crown was made of infamy and the kingdom was that of the Oregon land-fraud ring, the exposure of which sent a United States senator, a millionaire and a number of professional land-sharks to the penitentiary. Today S. A. D. Puter, self-styled land-fraud king, is lobbying with a brazen face in the halls of Congress on behalf of schemers who would divert the unearned timber increment on two million acres into their own pockets.
Congressman W. W. Wilson—of Chicago—has introduced a bill giving those who have filed claims on the Oregon railroad grant lands—See "Skinning the Land Grant Bear" in the February Sunset—a preferential right to select and buy 160 acres of the land at $2.50 an acre, the claimants to have one year in which to exercise their option. About 16,000 claims have been filed, ninety-nine per cent of them by speculators and professional public-land jugglers who hoped to obtain for $400 a quarter section of land covered with timber worth from $1000 to $10,000. For years designing, shrewd swindlers have used this difference between cost and value as a bait with which to fleece the innocent and unwary out of "location fees" from fifty dollars upward, even though they knew that the title to the land was in dispute. Several swindlers have been convicted and more have been indicted for this fraud. Now Puter, his record notwithstanding, has the unspeakable gall to appear openly before Congressional committees and smoothly, expensively expound the claim of persons who have no more right to a gift from the nation than they have to the iron cross.
Fortunately the Oregon Journal is waging a relentless fight against Puter and his ilk. The Portland newspaper is endeavoring valiantly to keep the vast timber domain out of the multitude of itching palms reaching for it, and its efforts will be successful unless an overdose of preparedness gives Puter and his cohorts a chance to get away with the loot. But there is a string to this loot. The railroad has been confirmed in all its possessory rights subject to the conditions of the grant by the Supreme court, and the railroad need not sell a single acre to the 16,000 claimants unless it chooses to do so.
In the meantime it is pertinent to ask why a Representative from Chicago should father a bill apparently drawn to put money in the pockets of a Puter.

Afternoon
WHEN I am old, and comforted, And done with this desire, With Memory to share my bed And Peace to share my fire,
I’ll comb my hair in scalloped bands Beneath my laundered cap, And watch my cool and fragile hands Lie light upon my lap.
And I will have a spriggéd gown With lace to kiss my throat; I’ll draw my curtain to the town, And hum a purring note.
And I’ll forget the way of tears, And rock, and stir my tea. But oh, I wish those blessed years Were further than they be!

A Fairly Sad Tale
I THINK that I shall never know Why I am thus, and I am so. Around me, other girls inspire In men the rush and roar of fire, The sweet transparency of glass, The tenderness of April grass, The durability of granite; But me—I don’t know how to plan it. The lads I’ve met in Cupid’s deadlock Were—shall we say?—born out of wedlock. They broke my heart, they stilled my song, And said they had to run along, Explaining, so to sop my tears, First came their parents or careers. But ever does experience Deny me wisdom, calm, and sense! Though she’s a fool who seeks to capture The twenty-first fine, careless rapture, I must go on, till ends my rope, Who from my birth was cursed with hope. A heart in half is chaste, archaic; But mine resembles a mosaic— The thing’s become ridiculous! Why am I so? Why am I thus?

AUTHORS and actors and artists and suchmuch. Never know nothing, and never know much. Sculptors and singers and those of their kidney Tell their affairs from Seattle to Sydney. Playwrights and poets and such horses’ necks Start off from anywhere, end up at sex. Diarists, critics, and similar roe Never say nothing, and never say no. People Who Do Things exceed my endurance; God, for a man that solicits insurance!

Bric-à-brac
LITTLE things that no one needs— Little things to joke about— Little landscapes, done in beads, Little morals, woven out, Little wreaths of gilded grass, Little brigs of whittled oak Bottled painfully in glass; These are made by lonely folk.
Lonely folk have lines of days Long and faltering and thin; Therefore—little wax bouquets, Prayers cut upon a pin, Little maps of pinkish lands, Little charts of curly seas, Little plats of linen strands, Little verses, such as these.

A Dream Lies Dead
A DREAM lies dead here. May you softly go Before this place, and turn away your eyes, Nor seek to know the look of that which dies Importuning Life for life. Walk not in woe, But, for a little, let your step be slow. And, of your mercy, be not sweetly wise With words of hope and Spring and tenderer skies. A dream lies dead; and this all mourners know:
Whenever one drifted petal leaves the tree— Though white of bloom as it had been before And proudly waitful of fecundity— One little loveliness can be no more; And so must Beauty bow her imperfect head Because a dream has joined the wistful dead!

A PIG’S-EYE VIEW OF LITERATURE
The Lives and Times of John Keats, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and George Gordon Noel, Lord Byron
BYRON and Shelley and Keats Were a trio of lyrical treats. The forehead of Shelley was cluttered with curls, And Keats never was a descendant of earls, And Byron walked out with a number of girls, But it didn’t impair the poetical feats Of Byron and Shelley, Of Byron and Shelley, Of Byron and Shelley and Keats.
Oscar Wilde
IF, with the literate, I am Impelled to try an epigram, I never seek to take the credit; We all assume that Oscar said it.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
THE pure and worthy Mrs. Stowe Is one we all are proud to know As mother, wife, and authoress,— Thank God I am content with less!
D. G. Rossetti
DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI Buried all of his libretti, Thought the matter over,—then Went and dug them up again.
Thomas Carlyle
CARLYLE combined the lit’ry life With throwing teacups at his wife, Remarking, rather testily, “Oh, stop your dodging, Mrs. C.!”
Charles Dickens
WHO call him spurious and shoddy Shall do it o’er my lifeless body. I heartily invite such birds To come outside and say those words!
Alexandre Dumas and His Son
ALTHOUGH I work, and seldom cease, At Dumas père and Dumas fils, Alas, I cannot make me care For Dumas fils and Dumas père.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
SHOULD Heaven send me any son, I hope he’s not like Tennyson. I’d rather have him play a fiddle Than rise and bow and speak an idyll.
George Gissing
WHEN I admit neglect of Gissing,I’m missing. They say I don’t know what I’m missing. Until their arguments are subtler, I think I’ll stick to Samuel Butler.
Walter Savage Landor
UPON the work of Walter Landor I am unfit to write with candor. If you can read it, well and good; But as for me, I never could.
George Sand
WHAT time the gifted lady took Away from paper, pen, and book, She spent in amorous dalliance (They do those things so well in France).

But Not Forgotten
I THINK, no matter where you stray, That I shall go with you a way. Though you may wander sweeter lands, You will not soon forget my hands, Nor yet the way I held my head, Nor all the tremulous things I said. You still will see me, small and white And smiling, in the secret night, And feel my arms about you when The day comes fluttering back again. I think, no matter where you be, You’ll hold me in your memory And keep my image, there without me, By telling later loves about me.

Tayama Katai and His Novel Entitled Futon ("The Quilt")
by
Motoko B. Reece
Submitted to the faculty of the graduate School in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures, Indiana University September 1,1971
Date: September 22, 1971
This is to certify that the thesis Tayama Katai and His Novel Entitled Futon ("The Quilt") submitted by Motoko B. Reece in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts degree in the Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures has been accepted as satisfactory by the following members of her Faculty Committee:
Kenneth K. YasudaChairman
Kenneth R. R. Gros Louis
Gerald B. Mathias
Acknowledgments
During my graduate studies I became interested in the works of Tayama Katai and what prompted him to follow the course that led to the writing of Futon. I conceived right from the start the possibility of making Futon the subject of my study. After reaching the thesis stage of my graduate education I discussed with Dr. Yasuda of Indiana University the possibility of delving into Katai's background and particularly his epoch-making Futon as it relates to Gerhart Hauptmann's Einsame Menschen, from which play Katai conceived his theme for Futon. Dr. Yasuda approved and out of our many talks grew this paper.
Grateful acknowledgment is made to the members of my thesis committee. The Chairman Dr. Kenneth K. Yasuda willingly spent a lot of his valuable time going over and rearranging my formative ideas. My sincerest thanks are also due to Dr. Kenneth R. R. Gros Louis, a member of my committee, who was exceedingly kind and whose expert advice was very encouraging. I am also deeply obligated to Dr. Gerald B. Mathias, the other member of my committee, for the constructive way he kindly corrected the text of this thesis as well as the translation of Futon from the Japanese into English. Last, but not least, may I be permitted to express my appreciation to Dr. Toyoaki Uehara who, while not a member of the committee, took the time to furnish the writer with valuable help in the formation and final delivery of her thesis.

# The Anabasis of Alexander/Book II/Chapter XXVI

CHAPTER XXVI.
Siege of Gaza.
Gaza is about twenty stades from the sea; the approach to it is sandy and over heavy soil, and the sea near the city everywhere shallow. The city of Gaza was large, and had been built upon a lofty mound, around which a strong wall had been carried. It is the last city the traveller meets with going from Phoenicia to Egypt, being situated on the edge of the desert. When Alexander arrived near the city, on the first day he encamped at the spot where the wall seemed to him most easy to assail, and ordered his military engines to be constructed. But the engineers expressed the opinion that it was not possible to capture the wall by force, on account of the height of the mound. However, the more impracticable it seemed to be, the more resolutely Alexander determined that it must be captured. For he said that the action would strike the enemy with great alarm from its being contrary to their expectation; whereas his failure to capture the place would redound to his disgrace when mentioned either to the Greeks or to Darius. He therefore resolved to construct a mound right round the city, so as to be able to bring his military engines up to the walls from the artificial mound which had been raised to the same level with them. The mound was constructed especially over against the southern wall of the city, where it appeared easiest to make an assault. When he ​thought that the mound had been raised to the proper level with the walls, the Macedonians placed their military engines upon it, and brought them close to the wall of Gaza. At this time while Alexander was offering sacrifice, and, crowned with a garland, was about to commence the first sacred rite according to custom, a certain carnivorous bird, flying over the altar, let a stone which it was carrying with its claws fall upon his head. Alexander asked Aristander, the soothsayer, what this omen meant. He replied: "O king, thou wilt indeed capture the city, but thou must take care of thyself on this day."
* ↑ Nearly two miles and a half. Strabo (xvi. 2) says that the city was only seven stades from the sea.
* ↑ Gaza is the Greek form of the Hebrew name Azzah (fortress). Its position on the border of Egypt and Palestine has given it importance from the earliest times. It was one of the five cities of the Philistines; and retained its own king till a late period, as we learn from Zechariah ix. 5. It was the scene of a battle between Richard I. and the Saracens. It is now called Guzzeh, with a population of 15,000.
* ↑ Compare Arrian, i. 11 and 25; ii. 18. Plutarch (Alex., 25) says that the bird was entangled and caught among the nets and cords. See also Curtius, iv. 26.

The Oasis of Ammon.
* ↑ Nearly five miles. Cf. Lucan, ix. 511-543.
* ↑ This Fountain of the Sun, as it is called, is 30 paces long and 20 broad; 6 fathoms deep, with bubbles constantly rising from the surface. Cf. Herodotus, iv. 181; Lucretius, vi. 849-878; Ptolemy, iv. 5, 37.
* ↑ This is what we call sal ammoniac, known to chemists as hydrochlorate of ammonia. The dactylos was the smallest Greek measure of length, about 7/10 of an inch.
* ↑ We learn from Strabo (xvii. 1), on the authority of Callisthenes, that the declaration of the oracle of Ammon was confirmed by those of Apollo at Branchidae near Miletus, and of Athena at Erythrae in Ionia. Plutarch (Alex., 28) and Arrian (vii. 29) assert that Alexander set afloat the declaration that he was the son of Zeus to overawe the foreigners over whom he was extending his rule.

CHAPTER III.
Alexander Visits the Temple of Ammon.
* ↑ The temple of Jupiter Ammon was in the oasis of Siwah, to the west of Egypt. Its ruins were discovered by Browne in 1792. This oasis is about 6 miles long and 3 broad. The people called Libyans occupied the whole of North Africa excluding Egypt. In Hebrew they are called Lubim (sunburnt). See 2 Chron. xii. 3; xvi. 8; Dan. xi. 43; Nah. iii. 9. Cf. Herodotus, ii. 32; iv. 168-199.
* ↑ King of the island Seriphus. Cf. Herodotus, ii. 91.
* ↑ The gigantic son of Poseidon and Ge.
* ↑ King of Egypt, who was said to have sacrificed all foreigners that visited the land.
* ↑ Perseus was the grandfather of Alemena, the mother of Hercules.
* ↑ About 183 miles. This city lay at the extreme west of Egypt, in Marmarica.
* ↑ "For some distance onward the engineers had erected a line of telegraph poles to guide us, but after they ceased the desert was absolutely trackless. Our guides were the stars—had the night been overcast the enterprise would have been impossible—and we were steered by a naval officer, Lieutenant Rawson, who had doubtless studied on previous nights the relation of these celestial beacons to the course of our march. The centre of the line was the point of direction; therefore he rode between the centre battalions (75th and 79th) of the Highland Brigade. Frequently in the course of the night, after duly ascertaining what dark figure I was addressing, I represented to him that his particular star was clouded over; but he always replied that he had another in view, a second string to his bow, which he showed me, and that he was convinced he had not deviated in the least from the proper direction. And he was right, his guidance was marvellously correct; for his reward, poor fellow, he was shot down in the assault, mortally wounded. Here we were adrift, but for the stars, in a region where no token existed on the surface by which to mark the course—any more than on the ocean without a compass—and the distance to be traversed was many miles."—Sir Edward Hamley: " The Second Division at Tel-el-Kebir," Nineteenth Century, December, 1882.
* ↑ Strabo (xvii. 1) quotes from Callisthenes, whose work on Alexander is lost. He agrees with Aristobulus about the two ravens. Callisthenes is also quoted by Plutarch (Alex., 27) in regard to this prodigy. Curtius (iv. 30) says that there were several ravens; and Diodorus (xvii. 49) speaks of ravens.

CHAPTER XXV.
The Offers of Darius Rejected.—Batis, Governor of Gaza, Refuses to Submit.
While Alexander was still occupied by the siege of Tyre, ambassadors came to him from Darius, announcing that he would give him ten thousand talents in exchange for his mother, wife, and children; that all the territory west of the river Euphrates, as far as the Grecian Sea, should be Alexander's; and proposing that he should marry the daughter of Darius, and become his friend and ​ally. When these proposals were announced in a conference of the Companions, Parmenio is said to have told Alexander, that if he were Alexander he should be delighted to put an end to the war on these terms, and incur no further hazard of success. Alexander is said to have replied, So would he also do, if he were Parmenio, but as he was Alexander he replied to Darius as he did. For he said that he was neither in want of money from Darius, nor would he receive a part of his territory instead of the whole; for that all his money and territory were his; and that if he wished to marry the daughter of Darius, he would marry her, even though Darius refused her to him. He commanded Darius to come to him if he wished to experience any generous treatment from him. When Darius heard this answer, he despaired of coming to terms with Alexander, and began to make fresh preparations for war.
Alexander now resolved to make an expedition into Egypt. All the other parts of what was called Palestine Syria had already yielded to him; but a certain eunuch, named Batis, who was in possession of the city of Gaza, paid no heed to him; but procuring Arabian mercenaries, and having been long employed in laying up sufficient food for a long siege, he resolved not to admit Alexander into the city, feeling confident that the place could never be taken by storm.
* ↑ About £2,440,000.
* ↑ Diodorus (xvii. 54) puts the arrival of this embassy after Alexander's conquest of Egypt. Curtius (iv. 21) says that the name of the daughter whom Darius offered to Alexander was Statira.
* ↑ The term Palestine is derived from Pӗleshieth, the name given in Hebrew to the coast district in the south-west of Palestine, the inhabitants of which were called Pӗlishtim, or Philistines. As this tract of country lay directly between Phoenicia and Egypt, it became known to the Greeks sooner than the rest of the Holy Land, and they called it Syria Palaestinē. The name was gradually extended until it became the usual one for all the Holy Land among Greek and Latin writers. An interesting account of Alexander's visit to Jerusalem and his dealings with the Jews is found in Josephus (Antiquities, xi. 8).

The Homebody
THERE still are kindly things for me to know, Who am afraid to dream, afraid to feel— This little chair of scrubbed and sturdy deal, This easy book, this fire, sedate and slow. And I shall stay with them, nor cry the woe Of wounds across my breast that do not heal; Nor wish that Beauty drew a duller steel, Since I am sworn to meet her as a foe.
It may be, when the devil’s own time is done, That I shall hear the dropping of the rain At midnight, and lie quiet in my bed; Or stretch and straighten to the yellow sun; Or face the turning tree, and have no pain; So shall I learn at last my heart is dead.
