WHAT A TIMBER CLAIM Is NOT.

Secretary Noble rendered an i'm
portant decision in the case of James
Hair, of Kirwin, Kansas, on an APP
peal from the decision of the course OF
the general land office in which he
reverses the rulings of the department
| during the last administration relat-
ing to the amount of timber allowa-
BILE on timber culture land entries.
Hair in his application makes oath
that on the land in question there are
two cottonwood trees and four cot
tonwood sprouts two inches in dame
ter. The section was returned by the
official surveyor as timber land under
regular department ruling that the
words "devoid of timber" in the
timber culture act necessarily means
without timber" or destitute Of
timber" The entry was therefore
not allowed. The Secretary says
that no arbitrary rule can be estab-
lished for the government of every
case. 1t should be the desire Of the
department to ascertain what intent
and purpose Congress had in the pas
sage of the act. 1t stands to reason
that it was not the purpose to deprive
the occupants of the vast prairies of
the west of the benefits OF the act if
there happened to BIO single tree
upon a section. The words ''prairie
lands or lands devoid of timber,
within the spirit of the act means
land that is practically so and to give
the act the construction placed upon
it by the last decision just cited ac-
cording to the legitimate deduction
would prevent the entry of any prai
RE land that had timber of any char
acter upon it. This is certainly too
narrow view to take of the act, and
as the testimony in this case is con-
flicting as to the amount of timber on
Hairs claim further examination is
ordered.

Many scientific men believe that
ALUMINIUM is destined to be the metal
OF the future, displacing iron and
steel as surely as electricity is dis
placing gas and steam. Aluminium
Ebounds wherever there is a clay
bank, but the process of reducing it
to metallic form were so costly until
the electric current was utilized to
that end. Aluminium is soft, white
metal which never rusts, is little more
than one-third the weight of iron,
combines readily with other metals,
and when alleged with copper be-
comes harder than steel.

Mining was the prime moving
cause OF the earliest development of
Montana, and it continues to be a
leading industry in the Territory. 1t
has been steadily growing until 1t has
reached a point where 1T produces
more of the precious metals than any
other State or Territory in tho Union,
with the gross yield for 1888 of SAL
100000. Here, then, is forcibly
shown one Of the prime factors which
have made the people who settled in
this Territory the wealthiest per cap
ita in the United States. This is
we'll proven by the fact that the
banks OF Helena, Montana, contain
over ts,3o0,o00. The deposits in
those of Butte are but slightly less.

Too Much LEGISLATION.

The Herald and NeUs has conten-
ded for long time that we had too
much legislation in South Carolina,
and for this reason we have thought
it would be we'll to have biennial ses-

GLAD to see this question is receiving
some attention. The Columbia Re-
cord has made q comparison of the
number of acts passed for certain
periods and the increase Las been
very much attorly. For ten years
before the war one volume of 609
pages was large enough to contain
all the acts.
Now one Legislature can fill vol
ume of the same size. Much OF this
LEGISLATION is Of !ccai and private
nature. Then st each session. there
are amendments upon top oi amend
