A NEW ENTRY LAW.
An Important Bill Affecting Public Lands
and Mineral Rights.

An Important Bill Affecting Public Lands
and Mineral Rights.
A bill has passed both houses of con
gress authorizing the entry of land for
gravel pits and reservoir purposes, and
granting right of way for pipe lines.
Under this law any citizen or ditch or
water company may buy lands for reser-
voir purposes, not to exceed 1GO acres Of
unoccupied lands, at not less than 50 per
acre. When lands so purchased are in q
mining district they are considered min
eral lands, and the patents do not author
ize the purchasers to extract mineral
therefrom, but reserves it to the United
States. Any state, county or district or
ganization organized under the laws of a
state Or territory may apply for any of
the storage reservoir sites not reserved
by the United States, situated on unen
tered public lands, for storage of water
for irrigation, mining or other purposes,
and this land shall be set aside for that
purpose. Non-use of such land for two
years constitutes forfeiture. The land
must not be within the limits of any
public park, or military or Indian reser-
yatiOu.

ments thereon remain in statu quo, and
he contemplates no further building till
the arrival Of more prosperous times.
No county in the states can boast of
prettier farming lands than are found in
Deer Lodge valley, and nowhere in the
valley is there a quarter section Of land
that lies better for farming and irrigation
than that Of David Scott. MIR. Scott has
inherited his full share Of the energetic
activity and pushing enterprise of his
ancestors in Scotland. His unremitting
attention to details has built up a good
and desirable home, and marks of Scot
tish prosperity are seen in every nook
and corner of his premises. Patient per-
severance in good cause has its own
reward and will unerringly surround
good Judgment, combined with temper
ance and economy, with the comforts of
life and some of the luXuries thereof.
Dave is now giving special and success
full attention to alfalfa mixed with timo-
thy, the growth of which this year was
SO luXuriant that in places it was impos-
sible to make a thorough cleanup with
the mower. The strong foundation,
frame work and roof of his new house
are now awaiting some finishing touches
that will make him the happy owner of
a brand new house with six rooms.
Madame Rumor says that Dawes new
house is the precursor of matrimonial
bliss, and all concur that this crowning
consummation is richly deserved.
The flock knows the voice Of the shep-
herd-Victor Hory lavishes his genial
good nature on his live stock, and his
dog, cat, horses and cattle are all pets.
| He has two cattle sheds, each 62xS0 feet,
and his comfortable barn will accommo-
date sixteen head Of horses.
No ranchman on Lost creek has better
meadow lands than G. Andriole, and his
| handsome house, yard fence and full
complement of outbuildings bear testi-
mony Of many years of secular pros
perity. He is now running every day
his hay press and his teams are busy
hauling the product Of the press to Ana
| conda, where he finds a good market.
| Last fall he adGed to his many improve
ments new granary 22x25 feet, which
Will hold $500 bushels Of grain. His
admirable wife, who was a stranger to
the English tongue few years ago, now
speaks the Kings English t1uently and
with very little foreign accent.
Among the best farm residences in the
valley are to be enumerated those of the
Jacques brothers. "Jim" Steele still
makes his home with - Jacques and
delights the new conner from the East
with his Western stories of pioneer days,
now and then making flank movement,
when the attentive listener finds himself
charmed with some Of the political
poetic and epic literature of Virginia,
Kentucky and Tennessee. #*a:

BOSTON, Mass, Dec. ia new phase in
the settlement of the estate of the late
Andrew J. Davis of Montana developed
when, at the hearing in the Suffolk Coun
ty Probate Court before Judge McKim
q petition was presented in behalf of
Mrs. Huldah Smell, who claims to be the
widow. The claim that there is widow
is denied by the special administrators, r.
M. Morse and Judge Wells. Mrs. Smell,
who is resident Of Kearn county, Cali
fornia, states that her children are Mrs.
Jess Morrow of Fresno county and Mrs.
Ezekiel Calhoun of San Francisco.
They are represented by Alva r. Snow,
District Attorney-elect of Fresno, Cal.
The petition to-day objects to the APP
pointment Of administrators, on the ground
that Mrs. Smell and her daughters are the
legal heirs of the deceased, and have only
recently obtained knowledge of the pro-
ceedings for the ADMINISTRATION going on in
this court. The estate involves over 81,

Together With Other a. r. U. Officials
He is Sentenced and Fined.
CHICAGO, Dec. 14.-.Judge Woods this
morning found that Il. V. Debs and his
brother officers of tie A. r. U. We're
guilty of contempt of court in ordering
a strike on last summer and in persisting
in it. The sentence, however, will not
be culminative and fines will be imposed
simply for one offense.
This is the case which Judges Woods
and Grosscup issued an injunction re-
straining Debs and his associates from
interfering with trains Oh the various
railroads centering in Chicago.
The preliminary question was whether,
upon filing their answer, the defendants
were not entitled to be discharged with
out inquiring into the facts. The author
tiles agreed and the court held that in
proceedings for contempt in equity a
sworn answer, however full and unequiv-
ocal, is not conclusive.

A PLAN THAT FAILED.
COOPERATION NOT A SUCCESS IN
THE CGUR D'ALENES.

The Morning Mine, After an Improbable
Experience, Closes Down and It's Exam
pie is Followed by the Standard-The
Frisco's Extensive Development.
WAIa.AcE, Idaho, Dec. 19.-The Morn
ing mine at Mullan has closed down in
definitely, throwing out of employment
over 100 men. Manager Huntley made
avigorous effort to make the cooperative
plan of running success, but failed sig
nally to accomplish the desired result.
The Miners union objected to the CO.
operative plan and appointed a committee
to confer with Manager Huntley. AS
lessee he told the committee he could
not personally afford to pay $3.50 per day
with lead and silver at the present prices
and he would shut down. The co opera
tive plan was more like contract work,
and men did more work for the same
money. AS manager he told the men he
must consult the directors of the COM
pany, but from their many letters in the
rather shut down than pay $3.50, for the
mine never had made anything when
paying that in the past He had no OBJ
lection to the men employing an expert
bookkeeper, and as soon as the months
accounts were settled and returns made
by the sampler for the last few cars of
concentrates, they could send the expert.
He thought the November accounts
would be settled in time for payday, to-
day, and he suggested that the men go
back to work until that date. But the
men did not go back. All day Saturday
the company's office was crowded by
men getting their time, and as a result
the Morning mine is closed down for an
indefinite period.
The Standard mine has also closed
down, throwing forty men out Of employ
ment. The shutdown will doubtless last
all winter. The working force from now
on will be six men, who will be employed
in running the lower tunnel. This also
closes the Union mill atthis point, which
has been concentrating the Standard ore
| alone. Meanwhile some necessary i'm
provements, an ore bin and other facili-
ties for handling the ore from the lower
tunnel, will be made as occasion permits.
| At the present time there is no mine
in the Cpur d'Alene on which so much
money is being expended for improve
ments as the Frisco. Extensive prepara-
tions have been under way for some time
for sinking from the present level, in
order to keep the development work we'll
ahead of the stoping. The Frisco mine
is turning out 10000 tons of ore per
month, every pound Of which is weighed
before concentration. There are $50 men
employed in the mine and mill. A great
convenience which has just been added
by Manager Mcdonald is a telephone
line running from the station to the mill
A new power house for the Pelton water
wheels is also recent improvement
which has been made at considerable eX-
pense. There is no indication that the
property will close down during the
winter.

a New scheme ofthe w. L. Douglas
Shoe Co.
William L. Douglas, the president of the
world famed w. L. Douglas Shoe Co.. has
always had great personal interest in the
army of men and women who inhabit the
great factory of Montello, Mass, during the
working hours of the day, and who make
the greatly. advertised $500.
He is a great believer in the idea that
manufacturers should have a personal
~irterest in the condition OF their employees,
aud feels if the idea. is carried out to the
extent that is possible. that it will result
ultimately in the breaking down of the
barriers which have been built up between
. nployees and those whom they employ.
He believes that the breaking down of
these invisible but strong barriers would
be great thing for everybody concerned,
as it would convince the workingmen that
their employers were not their enemies, as
some of them seem to think now, but their
friends with desire to do all for them
that was in their power.
The new scheme is to provide medical
attendance free for oil employees. A COM
petent and skillful physician being en-
ployed by the company, and every person
in the employ of the Douglas Shoe Co., is
given a certificate that entities him to
medical attention so that the poor mans
night mare 1.-THE doctors bill is obviated,
and no one need suffer for lack ofattention.
The plan is q good one.
Speaking of the w. L. Douglas Shoe Co.,
1t may be said that their factory is the only
one in the city where the principle of ar
bitration is recognized and hos full sway.
Mr.. Douglas is firm believer in the prin-
ciple and has been since the establishment
of the state board of arbitration. He
claims that labor troubles would not be as
frequent as they are if manufacturers and
help would recognize this great principle,
and adopt it.
The firm obliges every man who is hired
to sign an agreement to submit any disa-
greenaent that may arise, and which can
not be settled by the interested parties, to
the State board of arbitration, the
decision of that board to be final and be
binding on both sides. Pending set
Element of any disagreement the men agree
to continue at work. This agreement went
In force Dec. 10, 1885, and has worked well.

SCIENTIFIC FEEDING.

A bulletin just issued from Cornell
University Experiment Station, on the
feeding of steers In Texas, shows the
following results:
Roasted cotton seed do not have the
laxative qualities of raw seed and are
more palatsble.
Faster gains are made 10y fecdiuc
the boiled seed. but at a greater cost
per pound gain.
The advantages TO be gained in the
use of roasted seed hardly justify its
general use.
Boiled seed are more palatsble than
raw seed, less laxative and make
faster gains. May continue to be used
with profit.
Steers fed on raw seed, eating less
quantity of seed, ate slightly more
hay in consequence.
Cotton seed, at usual prices, is a
good and cheap addition to corn and
hay ration.
The best beef ration found by pre-
vious experiments seed meal.
hulls and silage, is not here proven the
best, when calculated at former prices
raw seed, corn and hay being better
When value of raw seed is raised to
near market present prices, ten dollars
per ton, the meal, hulls and silage
are again the best ration; raw seed,
corn sad hay being next best.
The average cost of gain per pound
in all lots at present price of food was
3.64 cents.
The cheapest feed per pound gained
for all steers fed, when raw cotton
seed is valued at so per ton, was raw
seed, corn and hay.

REMEDY FOR RouP IN Fowls.

This disease is exceedingly con-
tagious, and is similar in every respect
10 the diphtheria of persons. 1t arises
from the same causes, viz, poisoning
by bad air or dampness, by which the
germs of the disease are encouraged.
The remedy lies, first, in removing
the cause, making the poultry house
clean and dry, and keeping it as warm
as may be. The sick birds are treated
by giving doses of powdered chlorate
of potash, one small pinch of it being
dropped in the throat twice a day.
The swelled heads are bathcd with
warm vinegar, and the mouth and
throat washed by means of soft
feather. The house should be we'll
disinfected by burning sulphur in it
during the day, keeping it tightly
closed for an hour or two while the
fumes Of the sulphur are acting. All
dead birds should be buried deeply,
away from the house. --Nsw York
