WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The decision
recently made by Secretary Lamar in the
land case of Henry Putnam is one of so
much Importance that Western land owners
and investors are already assuming more
hopeful tone with regard to the future of
land office matters. The decision practi-
cally restores the land Office practice with
regard to cancellation of entries that was in
vogue under Commissioner Mcfarland.
When Gen. Sparks year ago reversed the
old practice, and held that settlers could be
kept out of their titles on the eX parte evil
dence of special agents he laid the founda-
tons of a long and bitter fight. Secretary
Lamar, while inclined to listen to the pleas
of settlers, was not disposed to assume at
that time the responsibility for reversing
Gen. Sparks order. Assistant Secretary
jerks, when he retired from the in
terror department, had fully made
up his mind that reversal
should be made, but no occasion had come
in the course of his routine decisions to
carry out his views. Congress wrangled
all winter more or less in committees and
in house and senate, without coming to any
conclusion. Congress othaving done any
thing. the secretary resolved to be quick in
carrying out his judgment that the old prac-
tice should be restored. and the Putnam
case was taken up. Mr.. Lamar himself
declared the decision. 1t decidessthat a
settler shall not be put off his land on one
sided evidence, and that the government
shall make up case against him, give him
sixty days to prepare and then assume the
burden of proof. AS things were going,
the settler suspected of fraud had to prove
a negative the first thing before any affirm
alive testimony was put before him. This

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Hon. S. B.
Bevans, agent of the Watertown land dis
trict, says that in recent interview with
the president he took occasion to speak
favorably OF Commissioner Sparks. He
said: Mr.. President, Gen. Sparks is one
of the finest officers in your administra-
tion." The president replied: There is
a great deal of complaint made against
him" To which Mr.. Bevans responded:
THAT is true, Mr. President. and there
are great many complaints made
against you, too But that doesn't alter the
fact that you are good president. If they
only dared to let you know it. you would
find that the same men who are complain
ing OF Gen. Sparks are complaining of YOU
too. They would complain of ANYBODY:
and if you were commissioner of the land
Office and were president, they would be
coming to me all the time and making COM
plants about you" The president couldn't
help but smile at the frank earnestness of
the Jersey mans championship of Sparks,
and he replied. II am very glad to hear
you speak SO well of him, Mr..
Bevans. and I shall be glad to
have your views on other territorial mat
ters" l don't believe that there is another

Bevans did He is one of your great big
whole souled fellows who fear nothing

sence from his post of duty; but it has been
