LATE LAND LAW DECISIONS.

In a case before the general land
office from Colorado, it was shown
that a settler was residing upon a
tract of land as a pre-. emption, and
that he permitted his time to expire
in which he was entitled to make
final proof Another party became
aware of this fact and settled upon
it as a homesteader. Afterwards
the first party applied at the land
office to file homestead also. The
local land office declined to accept
his filing on the ground that after
the expiration Of his prescription
period another party had filed npon
his land az homesteader. On ap>
peal to the Commissioner it is de-
cided that the derelEt pre-emptor
had a right to file on the land as q
homesteader; that any person set
Ting upon public land has three
months time within which to file;
tsat as soon as the prescription
claim expired, the land became viz
tually public land, subject to settle
ment; that the pre-cmptor, being on
the land at the time his pre-. emption
period expired, did not need to per-
form any new act of settlement to
entitle him to the three months all
lowed settlers within which to file q
homestead after making settlement;
and that provided he attempted to
file homestead within three months
from the expiration of his pre>emp>
tien period, he had q right to do 80
by reason of his settlement at the
date on which his prescription sx-
pired.
This ruling seems to be fair snd
proper, but prudent men will not
allow themselves to need it's benefits
The law allows pre-emptor thirty
three months from the date of his
settlement within which to make
final proof and payment for his land.
Under somewhat recent rulings he
is permitted to mortgage the land II
necessary, in order to obtain money
with which to make his payment
If he does not desire to do this he
should by all means convert his ppe-
emption into a homestead before his
presumption period expires. BY SO
doing, he may obtain credit for the
time he has resided upon the land as
prs>emptor and obtain patent that
much sooner.

the march OF progress, furnishing its read
ers with every item OF interest to the Sec
ton of country in which it is published,
and making an honest endeayor TO merit
the good will and patronage of the peo
pie. The ENTERPRISE commenced ITS
career under a cloud of adverse circum-
stances, and has struggled on las has the
settler upon homestead claim to comply
with the demands OF the public, aud
make /" final proof" that it has been and
is faithful exponent OF the interests OF
the people whom it has striven to serve.

in the past, work tor the advancement OF
the varied interests of Whatcom and San
Juan Counties, and will do any AMI all
things within its power to aid in the de-
vclopment of the lower Sound country.

ity within the two counties named.
The first volume of the ENTERPRIsE

Our statement in late copy Of
the ENrERpRIsE, to the effect that
sailing vessels going to Seattle, Ta>
coma or Whatcom will require to
be lowed in and out whenever the
tides or winds are unfavorable,
seems to have excited the Revoale
considerably. Here is the manner
in which our esteemed neighbor
pitches into us for making this ap-
parently self-evident statement. He
says: $50 far as the shipping facili-
ties of Tacoma and Seattle are con-
cerned, our contemporaries remarks
may be applicable. But the state
ment in reference to Bellingham
channel is evidence Of the fact that
the writer is either grossly ignorant
or purposely prevaricates. AS q
matter Of fact, hundreds Of ships
deep water vessels-have sailed from
Cape Flattery into Bellingham Bay
without the aid or assistance OF tugs
or tow boats.,"
To those who. are familiar with
the strong tide currents that sweep
back and forth between the Fuca
Straits and the Gulf Of Georgia,
through the De Haro and Rosario
straits and Bellingham channel, and
the winds that prevail in them, our
stat ssaentS ia simply self evident
fact. No sea captain would attempt
to sail through any Of these pass
ages against the tide, unless the
wind was favorable, and no vessel
sould pass through against strong
head wind, even with the most fa-
vorable. tide. We grant that the
Germania could sail flying into Bel
lingham Bay on a food tide, and
when q strong southwest wind was
blowing. But how would she ever
get out again with those winds pre-
vailing, as they do, for weeks at a
time, without the aid of tug? II
the Reveille longs for information
on this. subject, we presume Capt.
Baker will be able to supply it.
That gentleman is authority for the
statement that the BelIingham' Coal
Company always employed tugs to-
Sring their vessels into Bellingham
Ray, and whenever he sailed in by

Mankind's Mistakes.

It is mistake to labor when you
are not in fit condition to do so.
10 think that the more a person eats
the healthier and stronger he will be-
come.
To imagine that if little work or
exercise is good, violent or prolonged
exercise is better.
To conclude that the smallest room
in the house is large enough to sleep
in.
10 eat as if you had only minute
to finish the meal in, or to eat without
appetite, or continue after it has been
satisfied, merely to satisfy the taste.
To believe that children can do as
much as grown people, and that the
more hours they study the more they
learn.
To imagine that whatever remedy
causes one to feel Immediately better
--as alcoholic stimulants-is good for
for the system without regard to after
effects.
To take off proper clothing out of
season because you have become heat
ed.
To think that any nostrum or pa
tent medicine is a specific for all dis.
eases flesh is heir to.

Natural Appetites.

DR.. Felix L. Oswald says in Popu-
lar Science Monthly. that in order to
distinguish a poison-stimulent from q
harmless and nutritive substance. ma
ture has thus furnished us three infal-
lible tests.
l. The first taste of every poison is
either insipid or repulsive.
2. The persistent obtrusion of the
noxious substance changes that aver
sion into specific craving.
8. The more or less pleasurable ex-
citement produced by q qualification
of shat craving is always followed by
a depressing reaction.
The first drop of wholesome bev-
erage (milk, cold water. cider fresh
from the press, ETC., is quite as pleas
ant as the last /; the indulgence in such
pleasures is not followed by repentance
and never begets q specific craving.
Pancakes and honey we may eat with
great relish whenever we can get them
but, if we can't, we won't miss them
as long as we can satisfy our hunger
with bread and butter. In midwin-
ter, when apples advance to six dollars
q barrel, it needs no lectures and mid
night prayers to substitute rice-pud-
ding for apple-pie. A Turk may break
fast for thirty years on figs and roasted
chestnuts, and yet be quite as confort
able in Switzerland, where they tired
him to milk and bread. Not SO the
dram -drinker; his "thirst' can not be
assuaged with water or milk, his en-
shaved appetite Graves the wanted tip
ple-or else stronger stimulant. Ma
tural food has no effect on the poison
hunger; nature has nothing to do with
such appetites.
