A LAND DECISION.

Improvements Must He Continued on Land
Claims Even il Contested.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-Secretary La
mar to-day rendered a decision in the case
of the contested timber culture claim Of
Patrick Byrne against William W. DorwOod,
taken on an appeal from the Commissioner
of the General Land Office. Mr.. Byrne
contested Mr.. Dorwood's claim to the north
west quarter OF section &, township 139,
range 20, bismarck land district. ON the
ground that the contestee had not
planted tree seed nor broken
the required FIVE acres, although he has
had possession of the land since May 23,
1875. DOrwOOd claimed he was not COM
PEELED to make any improvements on the
land so long as his title was contested, and
cites the tac: that in the case Of Meserve
against the contested land, the land had
been decided, January 3. 1885. to be his in
face of an admission by him that lie had
made no improvements on the land since
May 81, 1850. The register and receiver
would not accept this precedent and recon-
mended the cancellation of DOrwOOd's EN-
try. Commissioner Sparks held the entry
for cancellation, and DorwOOd appealed to
the Secretary. In sustaining the decision
to-day the Secretary says: There is
no doubt of the correction of the
position that pending final decision on
a contest, on whatever ground or charge,
the entryman whose claim is attacked
should continue to comply with this law,
and il he failed to do this he laid himself
liable tn attack in subsequent contest.
Should lie successfully defend himself in
the one pending to hold differently wOuld
be to condOne laches, and to open the door
to a practice which would enable parties
Inder guise of contest to hold fand indefi-
nitely, without complying with the require
ments of the law under which their entries
were nlade.'

Northern California realize how
small a share Of Immigration this
section of the State has been re-
ceiving? The recent school census
indicates that during the past six
years the population Of Northern
California has increased only four
per cent, while that Of the South

IS per cent. San Francisco is
omitted from this calculation. Now
what is the cause of this remark
