Three Years Behind
With Work in the Pre-Emption
Department of the General
Land Office.
An Accumulation of Sixty-ssven
Thousand Unexamined and
Unsettled Cases.
Three Years Behind.

The number Of presumption entries
returned TO the general land Office In
1850 was 5,745, says the National ID
main, of Washington, ID. G.. In 1887
the number was 81, 435, showing an in.
crease of nearly 700 per cent. The
pre-emption division commenced the
years 1857 with an accumulation OF
81, 900 unexamined and unsettled cases
exclusive of contests;and this accumu.
latiOn is increasing.
The cases now being examined are
those in which entry was allowed IN
June, 1885. In other words, cash en-
tries for which the settlers paid their
hard earned money, will not be
reached for examination until three
years after entry. To our mind the
conclusion IL irresistible that the set
tiers have certainly displayed a re.
msrkable degree of patience in this
matter, and II may be that for that
very reason no remedy has been at.
forded them.
During this long period of waiting
the settler may have concluded to
change his plans and go elsewhere or
engage in other pursuits-as he has a
right TO do. Innocent purchasers may
have come into the ownership Of the
property, and in the meanwhile great
changes may have taken place, new
officials inducted into power, new in
depreciation of the law and rules made,
new rul.s formed and made retroac-
tive, and frequently the honest settler
is thereby required to do his first work
over again, and the innocent purchaser
have IL done at great expense.
1t must be apparent to every candid
mind that much OF the difficulty that
now exists might be averted, il action
in these cases could be had within &
reasonable time after entry. What Il
the remedy?
The amount OF labor that man car
perform is limited, and no matter how
anxious the head Of the land office
may be TO expedite business, unless he
has the means of doing SO his desire
will not avail. We believe that the
present commissioner honestly makes
every effort TO Gdjudicate as rapidly as
possible the claims now pending In bis
office, but with his limited force 1t is
impossible to make much advancement
in this particular.
T The strength Of the pre-emption di-
vision is twenty-six clerks, Of whom
nineteen are females, who, in addition
TO disposlng Of the voluminous CORES.
pondeuce and large amount Of m!scel-
laneous work, adiudicate about l2,OOC
cases per annum. II congress would
give this division about sixty-fiye ad
ditional clerks, the arrears of work
could be brought up to date In year
and when the amount of money re
quired TO pay these clerks for one yea
is considered in comparison to th,
great interest Of the settlers that or,
jeopardized by the delay, it is very in.
significant.
The peopleinterested should demanC
of congress that their rights be recog
nized, and the proper relief afforded
them. We shall feel ii our duty TO ad
voeate this redress, and support th'
settlers in their just claims before con
gress aud the department. Let tn,

THE WAA.. SUPPLY.
George w. Hall Takes Issue With
Secretary CaulfieId.

secretary CaulucIO.
To the Editor of the Globe
Secretary John Caufield, of the water
board, seems bound to force people to
believe that there is water enough in
the wholesale district to advanta-
geously protect that district against the
ravages of fire when such is not the
fact. All that is asked by any one is
that the full report Of Expert Hill be
taken up and thoroughly read. If any
one will do so, they connot help being
convinced that the requests made by the
insurance people are warranted. The
report is largely an apology for errors.
1t closes with the following:
summing up the results of the inveS-
t1gatlon, you can assure your council
that the capacity of the water mains in
the business district described herein,
is ample for the most eXacting demands
OF the fire department as now equip
ped, but should the number or capacity
OF the steamers be materially increased,
then larger mains, as pointed out,
should be introduced"
j. L. Tanning, of the st. Anthony
water power,wa not referred to by Mr.
Hill. as he did not know of his existence
or that Mr.. Hill, of the Manitoba road,
pays him $1,000 year, but he has that
confidence in Mr.. Hill to believe that he
does not pay a man more than he is
worth for his purposes, While Mr.. Fan
ming is undoubtedly good hydraulic
engineer, is he as well posted in the re-
Qulrements of fire department water
supply as those who fight fire and those
who pay the losses by fire as he is with
hydraulic engineering in the abstract.
Ii any one will look at table No. l,
page 25, of Hills report, and tell why
engine No. 2. located at the corner of
Third and Wacouta, threw in position
1881 gallons per minute, while engine
No. 8, an engine of the same make,
same sized pumps and the same capac-
lty every way, located upon the same
six inch pipe, at the corner of Fourth
per minute, then they will fully illus
trate the shortage of water in the whole
sale district.
Every one should thoroughly read and
digest Expert Hills report; it is full of
good information, but it is too long to
critcise in a newspaper article. One
feature of this is especially worthy of
notice, and that is his recommendation
of cisterns. 1t is to be hoped that every
one will read that portion of the report.
There is no. city in the world that
has suffered by fire as has Chicago, and
there is none where the value of ciSternS
for fire purposes is so fully appreciated.
In that city they nave seventy-siX els
terms in the mercantile district, having
put in five o. new ones during the last
year. Said gentleman, who is mo
chicken in fighting fire, eff they will
give me cisternS will show much bet
ter actual results than is shown from
the hydrants in table 21, page 25, and
very nearly the rated capacity of the
engines
1t is fortunate TO have this matter dis
cussed now so that remedies can De ap-
piled before we have another and larger
ScOrching than we have yet had.

STATE EDITORS, CONVENTION
Called for Next Month at the Mill

City.
Chairman II. P. Hall, of the executive
committee of the Minnesota Editors
and Publishers association, explains
why the date for the twenty-first annual
meeting at Harmonic hall, Minneapolis,
was changed from Aug % to Sept. 6, at
1l:50 a. m. The reason was that
Sept. had been selected as the
date for one of the political conventions,
and 1T would have interfered with the
ability of many editors to turn ont, as
home most of the time during the week
previous to the state convention.
The excursion committee reports that
four sleepers have been secured,
with dining car, on the 500
line. The train will leave
Minneapolis early III the afternoon of
Sept Z for Sault Ste. Marie, where it
will arrive the next afternoon. A re-
ceptiOn will be given at Sault Ste.
Marie, and the scribes will leave on
their return on the morning of the 9th.
A very elaborate programme of sub
lects has been selected for the meeting
in Harmonic hall, says President Joel

Invoke Police Interven ton to
Find Missing Members.
The family of Miss Annie Schuemann,
of 64S Thomas street, are considerably
eerci sed over the disappearance of
that young woman. Up to Friday
evening she had been working at 12S
West Sixth street. About seven O'Clock
she left to go out to her home and has
not been seen since. A reporter for
the GLOBE called at the resi-
dence of her father last night
and learned that she has not yet been
heard of. They fear that she has been
led astray, and notified the chief of po-
lice, who has instructed all the officers
to be on the lookout for the missing girl.
She is only sixteen years old. of me-
dunn build. light complexion, light hair,
blue eyes and can only speak little
English. Her parents are German. The
missing girl is the second in the family
and has some younger sisters and
brothers.
Several days ago Henry Balland,
well known resident of the
West side, disappeared from home
and no clue to his whereabouts has
been ascertained up to this time.
No cause is assigned by his family for
his mysterious absence, and they are
naturally very much worried and
alarmed concerning him. They fear
that he has beensfoully dealt with, and
have notified the police to keep look
ont for him.

INSURANCE RATES
Deemed Excessive by the Jobbers'
Union.

Deemed Excessive by the JObberS'
Union.
There was representative attend
ance of members at the meeting of the
jobbers' union yesterday afternoon,
but. as usual, reporters were not ad-
mitted. The proceedings occupied an
hour and half, and then the represent
ativeS of the press who applied for par
ticularS and the result of the debates
were informed that the union had again
considered the policy of the insurance
societies in the city of raising their rates
for insuring the huge buildings of the
wholesale district. This step was the
outcome of the ecentnon-effective water
supply at the disastrous fire whichleveled
the building tenanted by Beaupre,
Keogh & Davis. The union claim that
means have been adopted to prevent a
recurrence of a like calamity, and that
it has been demonstrated that there is a
sufficient supply of water in the whole
sale district to meet all requirements.
But the insurance companies have up
to the present refused to reduce their
increased rates, and yesterday the job
berS' union determined to vigorously
pursue the matter uutil they obtain
what in their parlance is considered
justice.

wHIsrLING FOR sWITCHMEN
Causes a Runaway and PrObabl,
Fatal Accidents.

Thursday morning, while Mr.. and
Mrs. Jennings and child were driving
across the Mississippi street bridge,
whistle from an Omaha freight train
frightened the horse, causing him to
run away. The occupants of the buggy
were thrown out on the street, Mrs.
Jennings striking her head against the
curbstone. She was taken to st. Joseph's
hospital. where she now lies in
precarious condition. The child was
slightly bruised, Mr.. Jennings escaping
unhurt. Officer Ahern, whose beat is
in the vicinity of the accident, said:
"There was no occasion for this train
whistllng. The Omaha employees have
habit of whistling while passing under
the bridge to arouse the switchmen, who
should be out of their shanties in the
day time. This is the third accident
that has happened at this place within
the past two months through this un-
necessary and uncalled-for whistling."
