Important d Decision by Secretary Noble

Important Decision by Secretary Noble
WASHINGTON, July 20.-Secretary
Noble to-day, in a letter to the commits
sionner of the general land Office, modi-
fed in a very important particular the
application of the rule as to the time of
certain timber culture cases. The timber
culture act of June IA, 1878, provides
that any person who shall plant, protect
and keep in a healthy, growing condition
for eight years ten acres of timber IN any
quarter section of any OF the public lands
OF the United States, shall be entitled to
a patent at the expiration of eight years
on making proof, etc. Section ? provides:
No final certificate shall be given, or
patent issued, until the expiration of eight
years from the date of entry"
Land Commissioner Mcfarland, in a
circular of instructions 10 the registers
and receivers, dated February |, 1882,
held that half the trees must actually be
growing IN three years and the remaining
half in four years, to conform to the terms
of the act.
This Interpretation was sustained in a
subsequent decision which held the pre-
paration OF the land and planting Of the
trees are acts of cultivation, and the time
actually so employed should be computed
as a part of the eight years required in
the timber culture cases, and as the act
provides for two years cultivation of the
land before the trees can be planted, the
effect of the ruling WINS to compute the
period of cultivation from the date of en-
try. June 81, 1887, Commissioner
Sparks, in a circular to registers and re-
c%eivers. directed, in computing the pc
riod of cultivation the time runs from the
date when the total number of trees,
seeds or cuttings, required by the act, are
planted. and final proofs of entry men
not having complied under this rule were
rejected.
Secretary Noble in his letter to-day to
the commissioner s~ustains the ruling
made by Commissioner Sparks, but says:
"lnasmuch as the department from the
time OF the passage of the bill up to June
81, 1887. enormously constructed the true
spirit and intent of the act and in pursu-
ance thereof numerous entries have been
made under the law rs promulgated,
amounting to some , 800 or more, such
entries should be protected. Under the
construction thus given to the act such
construction has all the force and effect of
law. Were it not so, great wrong and
Inconvenience would result. The secre-
tary therefore directed that the rule in the
case of Henry Hooper, in point, be $50
modified as to hold all entries made under
the act as construed from February l,
1882, to June 81, 1887, should pass to
patent, and that all entries made after the
announcement OF that doctrine should be
governed by the principles therein enun-

in the Canadian northwest and along the

are almost destitute, Some instances are

a well settled country on the Ca ladian

a great many settlers are leaving the land

CHICAGO. July 20.-Cattle continue to
come forward in astonishing numbers. the
run for Wednesday of this week coming
up pretty nearly to the largest on record.
Texans especially arc being pushed for
ward at a great rate-6,000, 1000 and
5000 head per day-and as consequence
prices have tumbled. Nearly every day
witnesses a decline and Texans are now
selling 40(G50 cents lower than ten days
ago. The heavy receipts too make 1t very
late each day before dealers can get
down to business. Receivers put 10 the
early hours in looking after and placing
their stock, and buyers want 20 ride
around and look over everything in sight
before they are ready to make any bids.
For natives prices are uncertain and
rather irregular. Eastern and foreign
advices are uniformly untavorable, and
no market can stand up under average
receipts of more than 1900 head per
day. has as been the case for two moaths
past light, handy steers, when fat and up
in style nave the preference and have de-
clined but little-perhaps sc. will cover
it. Heavy steers, cattle weighing 1900
to l, 700 pounds. suffer most severely, the
loss on such qualities amounting to near
ly 20c., and coarse half fatted grassers
are a close second. Natives that are no
better and perhaps not equal to good
Texans are not wanted. Buyers pass
them by or make bids SO low that a sales
man can not entertain them. The drop
in Texans, of course, carries down native
butchering stock and canning cows and
other range stuff is selling at about as low
prices as at any time. Coarse grassers,
as noted above. are hard to sell, but fat
l,050 to 1850 pound steers, whether
grass or dry fed, find a ready market.
The first consignment of Montana
rangers came in this week, they consisted
of nine cars of steers and six cars of cows
from Pierre and sold at 81 95 for the lows
and SO. 65 TOR the steers. Shippers are
buying principally at SO S0(94. 10 and
dressed beef men largely at 81. 1908. IS.
Several droves of Nebraska fed steers

steers sell at 81 00(d3.25 the bulk aver

branch at the market is nearly at a stand
still. There is hardly enough business 20
make quotations and good feeders are not
fetching over - so.
Notwithstanding the weakness in
American beef abroad the cattle crop
over there is certainly badly short this
year and with present low prices here a
big export movement is certain during the
next few months. Nelson Morris of this
city has already engaged room on all of
the steamers going out OF New York for
London and Liverpool within the next
two months to be loaded with live cattle.
Other parties here made heavy contracts
on lines going out of Boston. The rate
to London is 90 shlllings which is more
than double what it Was a year ago at this
time.
