paid them in checks on the bank of
Minnewaukan at the rate of seventy.five
cents per hundred pounds for hauling
the supplies to their reservation, some

The Land Bill.

WASHINGTON, June S.-Judge Payson's
land bill, passed by the house yesterday,
repeating the presumption, desert-land,
and timber culture laws and amending
the communication provision Of the home
stead law, after providing for the repeal
of the presumption law, allows bona tide
claims to be perfected, and also permits
IL second homestead entry in lieu of the
presumption privilege to any person who
has not had the benefit of pre-emption
and who has failed from any cause ex-
cept by sale or disposal Of his right there.
to to perfect title to q tract of land here
tofore entered by him. The second Sec
ton, in repeating the timber culture act
makes provision for perfecting bona fde
CLAIMS lawfully initiated before the pas
sage of the act. Section three amends
the homestead act by allowing the min
imum price for a quantity of land en-.
tered to be paid at any time after the
expiration Of thirty calendar months
from the date of entry, the proof of act
ual settlement to be filed six months
prior to the application for patent. Sec.
ton four, in repeating the desert-land
act, makes the usual reservation for com.
plotting lawfully entered claims. The
fifth section withdraws from public sale
and private entry all lands except isolat-
ed and disconnected fractional parts,
mineral lands, and others of a local nat.
ure. Section six preserves the right to
transfer portions Of the settlers entry
under homestead or pre-emption for
church, cemetery or school purposes, OF
right of way for railroads. Judge Pay.
son says the repeal will not affect the
right of soldiers to the public lands in
any way. Their right is under the
homestead law, which is simply amend
ed SO as to increase the time OF commu.
tation to thirty months.

Land Decisions.
Digest of land decisions furnished the INTER OCEAN
by S. W. Snow, land attorney, 1888 T street, Washing
ton D. c.:
Timber Culture Contest.-The sale of
REIMBURSEMENT, if proven, warrants the
cancellation of the entry, and where the

suit.-Sec'y to Com'r, May 10, 1886, case
Plcketts vs.. Engle.
Practice-Second Contest.-An affida.
Wit of contest may be received, but no
action should lie taken thereon pending
final disposition Of a prior suit involving
the same land.-Scc'y to Com'r, May 10,
1856, case Brown VS.. Zeake.
Homestead Settlement-Entry. Two
settlers having gone upon q quarter sec.
ton in pursuance of a contract that one
should make entry for the whole tract
and convey one-half thereof to the other
upon securing patent, the entry thus
made is cancelled, and each allowed to
enter the land embraced within his set
tlement.-Sec'y to Com'r, May 90, 1886,
case Pelerin VS.. Cutgers.
Contest-Appeal.--Righ lost through
the refusal of the local office to act upon
a REIMBURSEMENT and failure to appeal

an intervening adverse claim.-Sec'y to
Com'r, May 90, 1886, case Binegar vs.
Bareback.

If you know of any one who expects
the territory to be divided during this
session of congress or during the next
session of the present congress you car
just bet big money that it won't, and
you can give odds. There will be moth
ing done in that direction and not even
an enabling act will be passed. Con-
gress is not disposed to do single thing.
If you ask me when something will be
done I will tell you that when the peo-
pie can agree to something, and agree
so UNANIMOUSLY as to be able to demand
it. something will be done, not until then:
There is too much division out there now
without congress making any more.
The present divisions are in opinion,
and when they are reconciled there viii
be no division of landed estates for the
commonweal. JOHN SMITH.
