Tree PLANTING on the Public Lands.


AZ tho late session of Congress it
viii DO remembered that an act was
passed intended to encourage the
planting Of timber on the public
lands Of the United States. The
Erst section of this act is as follows /:
BE 1t enacted, That any person
VINO shall plant, protect and keep in
g healthy growing condition, for
eve years, forty acres Of timber, the
ices thereon not being more than
ioht feet apart each way, on any
esarter section of any public lands
the United States, shall be en-
tied to patent of tho whole of
aid quarter section at the expira-
ion Of five years, on making proof
Of such tact by not less than two
credible witnesses Provided, That
only one quarter in any section shall
be thus granted"
IL will be seen from this section
that it 10 left somewhat in doubt
whether a planter may 90 on multi
plying the number of quarter sec
tions 20 90 thus entered and finally
awarded. The subject having re-
comfy been brought before the Com
missioner Of the Public Land Office,
he has decided that while the pro-
visions Of the first section of the
Timber. Culture act of March 3D.,
1913, DO not in terms limit qualified
rers0n 10 the number Of entries he
may mako hereunder, yet the poll
s. OF the Government, as expressed
IA the public land law generally, is
80 opposed to a speculative monopo-
" Of the public domain that, under
tho authority vested IN him by The
SAID section OF the said act, he has
'llcd that an individual shall be al.
il,V0d 70 make bu. one entry.

What Is a Western Manp

lie is man who has travelled.
Men now in business at the West are
in general older than the States
where they live, and 80 must have
travelled. Not one in six of the Ne
braskians was born ia Nebraska.
No Westerner perhaps has voyaged
as far as Bayard Taylor, and some
few other Easterlings But west~
ern travellers are more multitudious.
OF eighteen Americans who charter
ed Cairo steamer to 90 up the
Nile in 1868, ten resided in Detroit
or west of it. The proportion would
be larger to-day. In western viii
la2e you always find those who be-
fore settling have roved over half
dozen States. But in New England
you constantly encounter those who
were never out Of their native coun-
ty. Twenty years ago there lived
IN South Danvers, Mass, one Miss
Eden, near q hundred years old.
During the century of her pilgrim
age, so far from journeying to Phil
adelphia or even New York, she had
never been in Boston, though born
within thirteen miles from it. Her
most distant expedition had been
five and one half miles to Marble.
head. She had been there only
once, and that for the purpose of
having the smallpox, some years be-
fore the revolutionary war. 1t will
be long before the West can show
such phenomenon, "ixed like a
plant to one peculiar spot"
All the better for the West, Each
man there finds what he can do
best, if not in one place, then in
another. Along the Burlington and
Missouri River Railroad in Nebraska,
there are many who have bought
lands on long credit, and are de-
veloping them into grain and stock
farms with their earnings in Wis
consin lumber camps, California
diggings, or while freighting to COL
orado ard Montana. 1t speaks well
for Nebraska, that legions flock
there to make start from quarters
whore they esrn money to make a
start with, Nebraska is for farmers,
and farmers tor Nebraska.

A POSER Two scicntiti; French
men have been posing themselves
and each other with the question as
to where man who travelling west
from any place at the rate OF 1000
miles an hour, would find Monday
pass into Tuesday. If be started
at noon on Monday the sun would
always be in the meridian, because
he would journey with equal rapid
ity with the earth's motion, and the
sun would therefore, be at rest 50
far as he would be concerned. 1t
would, therefore, be always Monday
noon to him, but when he completed
hisjourney itwould be Tuesday noon
These unhappy individuals can not
find out where Monday night occurs
TO the traveller.
