the measure should be vigorously and
strictly enfor ed. II has been brought to
the knowledge Of Tia HERALD that for
some time past representative Of Kent

has obtained q number Of orders. A mis-
take IL being made by our citizens when
they place their orders in this way. They
show short-sighted policy that will re-
suit In the end to the detriment Of the in
dividual and the community. Yakima
is well favored with lumber yards, as we'll
as with most lines Of business, and all
things considered buyers can do equally
~ well or better at home than by trading
with itinerant vendors. There IL practi-
cally no redress when an order 10 inten-
tionally, or through mistake, returned
wrong, while BY patronizing home institu-
tons the money rs far rs possible Is kept
with us and permeates every line Of trade,
the buyer has opportunity OF knowing
that he is getting what he pays for, and
the prices, in most cases, are as low as
those offered from abroad with the freight
charges added. The city marshal should
be vigilant in the matter Of looking after
these peregrinating statesmen. They are
blight to o country and the ordinance
providing for license was formed fully
as much, or more, for the protection Of the
merchants and the buyers ss for the pur-
pose Of derivinga revenue, and its enforce
ment should be sharply pressed.

Official Paper Of North Yakima.
TWO IxPoRTAsrLAYDDEc

The secretary OF the interior has issued
instructions to the effect that in the event
Of the homesteader who leaves no widow,
but both adult and minor heirs, the pat
ent shall issue to all heirs equally, and
not to the minor heirs to the exclusion Of
adults. This is based upon decision Of
the supreme court Of the United States,
and 1t radically changes the practice Of
the land Office, which has uniformly been
to issue patent in such cases to the miner
orphan children. Secretary Smith, Of the
interior department, in passing upon the
question, gives expression to the fact that
the supreme court Of the United States ia
the highest judicial authority in the land,
and its Interpretation by the laws, writ
ten or unwritten, is conclusive upon. and
should be respected by all departments
OF the government.
The practice heretofore in vogue has
been 10 conformity with literal construc-
ton Of the statute, which directs that in
the event OF the death of both father and
mother the right, or fee, in homestead
shall inure to the benefit Of the infant
child or children. This recent decision
of the supreme court (the Bernier case,
holds that the section of the statues here
tofore misconstrued applies only in cases
where all the children are minors; that II
some are adults, the homestead right goes
to all equally. This overrules several no
table opinions, and may have bearing
on some estates in. Yakima county, adj
justed under the former Interpretation Of
the statute.
Another decision made by the Secretary
Smith as late as June 9. last, has been re-
ported in The HERALD. 1t gives to the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company the
right to amend its selections under the
act Of September 20, 1890, restoring one
half the odd sections in the overlapping
limits between the branch line and the
forfeited main line lands OF the company
down the north side of the Columbia
river. The secretary, in his decision, re-
fers TO the hearing had at the United
States land Office here, and gives uttersnce
to the following:
There can be no question that the
United States might hold the company,
and thereby its transferees, to the selec-
ton heretofore made, but 1t would seem
that the irrigation company is entitled to
the equitable consideration OF this de-
partment, and that the application should
be allowed, unless the granting thereof
will interfere with rights OF other persons
or of the United States in the premises"
He concludes that the large amount ex-
pended by the irrigation company, when
it relied upon its purchase OF all the odd
section land under it, considered along
with the fact that but two applicants for
any Of the land had expended anything
ut all, should allow the sale by the Z. X.
Co. TO the irrigation company TO stand,
and consequently allow the r. R. Co. TO
give up land elsewhere in lieu.
