g Gen. Sparks, on Land Stealing.

The commissioner of the general land Of
fce in his annual report speaks as follows
of Minnesota corporations:
An extensive corporation, known as the
John Martin Lumber company, was re-
ported to have procured a large number of
entries and filings upon pine lands in the
Duluth and St. Cloud districts. The oper-
ations OF said company are shown by pro-
ceedings in certain body ofnineteen cases
in which the action of this office in
canceling the presumption filings for fraud
and rejecting the final proofs has recently
been affirmed by the secretary of the interi-
or. The proofs in these cases were all pre-
sented on the same day, the claimants tes-
THY ing for each; alleged claimants went up
on the land at the instance of the
company's agent. and under an agreement
to- take the claims for the benefit Of
the company fora specified considera ton.
The filings were prepared and presented at
the same time by the company's attorney,
who paid all the company's expenses. The
men were furnished provisions from the
company's logging camp and paid for their
pretended residence and improvements by
the company's agent. Nine out OF the nine
teen claimants testified that they and their
associates were hired to make the claims and
that their alleged settlements and improve
ments were made at the instance and in
the interest OF the company. A party who
made a filing for the company under SINH.
lar circumstances testified to the fraudu-
lent character OF the filings in question,
and that he was paid 1910 by party act
ing for the conpany's agent to leave Min
nesota, in order to avoid testifying for the
government; that he left, but returned in
time to give his testimony.

Ut.h's Governor on Polys.my.

The following is synopsis OF the report
of Caleb West, governor of Utah:
The ill-absorbing question in this terri
tory, dominating all others, hurtfully al
fecting its prosperity, impeding its advance
ment and disturbing the quiet and
happiness of its people, and the one cues
ton OF the utmost concern and solicitude
OF defiance maintained by the Mormon
people, who probably are fve-sixths OF
the whole population, to the law OF con-
gress for the suppression OF polygamy. In
all questions affecting the Mormon church
and people the polygamous and monoga-
nous Mormons are united. They deny
the right OF congress to regulate or in
terpose any restrictions as to the
marital relations. The government
toward this people-which is of easy state
ment. Its authority must be respected,
its laws must be obeyed. He recommends
the increase OF sittings OF the courts, and
proposes having regular sessions held in
those sections of the territory not now COW
cred, believing that the presence of the
courts and its officers will have whole
some effect in preventing the contract
ing and celebrating of plural marriages,
and that the authority OF the law,
if not acknowledged, may be equally
people here are with bitterness OF feeling
divided as they are no where else in the
country. The vigorous enforcement OF I'M
popular laws against the people in the ma
jority here with prospect Of further and
more stringent legislation, does not tend
| to make them more amiable. Under favor
able conditions existing here for such re-
suit an outbreak OF violence might be
easily provoked. There is militia in
Utah. Even with the authority to
organize a militia force, I am OF the
opinion with the feeling existing here a bet
ter reliance for the preservation of the
public peace will be found in the regular
United States troops. I would recommend
that a force OF United Ssates troops be
placed and kept in garrison in this terri
tory, and that such laws be passed as will
make them as promptly available to the
civil authorities here in suppressing vio-
lence and to aid in the execution OF the
courts as if they were the militia OF the
territory. Congress should not adjourn
again without providing the necessary
laws to bring this people to realizatiou
of the power OF the government.
