protection in the way of legislation. The first
step should be to procure absolute possess
sion; then it should be passed to the control
Of the General Land Office, with instruc-
States District Attorney should be notified
OF trespasses and no Improvements should
be permitted by private persons. 1t has cost
California 100000 to extinguish private
claims in the Yosemite, and the letting out
OF leases would inaugnrate an extensive class
OF private claims which would cost $40, coo
to get rid Of"
NECESSARY LEGISLATION.
The Secretary then quotes the resolution 8
regarding SequOia Park, adopted last Au-
gust by the California Academy of Sciences,
and concludes as follows: "Eve-v effort
will be made with the means at hand to pre-
serve the trees and natural beauties of
both Yosemite and Sequoia parks, and to
expel trespassers and to punish those vio-
latlng the law or rules; but Congress must
make an appropriation, or the Secretary Of
the Interior will be left with gigantic re-
meet it. The parks have already gained the
favor OF our people, and there would be
probably no criticism of q reasonable ex-
pendlture to support them."
LAND DECISIONS.
In the case of Emma }. Woodbury., on ap-
peal from the Commissioners decision re-
gardng her application to purchase land in
Noble says the department has heretofore
Instructed local officers to see that the law
is strictly complied with in reference to
proof, and it does not provide for taking
proof at any. place except at the local Land
Office, therefore the Commissioner decis-
ion is affirmed and her application rejected.
In the case of Rosa Lehman VS.. Ernest
Snow. involving land in the San francisco
District, the Secretary modifies the Com
mIssioners decision, and says: THE tenn
poral removal of the pre-emptOr from land
OF his own prior to establishing residence
ON his pre-emption claim will not take such
claim out of the inhibition contained in the
statute. Shows fling will therefore be can
celed, and, since Miss Lehman has fulfilled
all the requirements of the law, she will not
be required to show new proof. aud the To-
cal officers are directed to allow the entry
with view of submitting the same to a
board of equitable jurisdiction for contirma-
tiOn."
