LAND OFFICE .
Matters Of Public Importance Cleaned From
There Yesterday.

In the report of the land Office for
the month of January shows the sale
OF school lands for the month of jan
uary to be 14,254 acres. There was
no sales of either university or asy-
lum lands during that time. The
lands that were sold brought an av.
arage price of 50 10 and 81 % per acre.
The leases for the month of January
are as follows: Public domain us
acres, university lands 1850 acres,
state free school lands 1877, 800 acres,
unorganized counties 10l 200 acres.
The aggregate of these places the total
Iesaes at 297 ,095 acres. The land COM
missioner has made some changes in
the classification of lands owing to
the demand that is now prevalent for
lands to cultivate rice and also to
grow fruit in south Texas This de-
mand has resulted in the classification
of all dry grazing lands in Jefferson,
Liberty and Chamhe county to dry
agricultural lands" without materi-
ally changing the valuation set upon
said land which is $500 per acre.
This chang in the classification will
restrict the sale of all such lands to
actual settlers and as will readily be
seen all the lands heretofore classed
as dry grazing lands in the counties
named above will be included in
these provisions relative to sales.

ANOTHER GRIP YET.
The Bell Telephone Company Has Still
Another Saving Patent.

In conversation yesterday with MIR.
e. x. Baker, general superintendent
OF the Bell Telephone company at
Austin, he gave reporter the follow.
ing as to the late expiration of one OF
his cJmpany's patents. He said.
1t is due the many users of the tele.
phone that they be made acquainted
with ell the facts in connection with
the expired patents.
Practically the last of the unuues-
toned patents of the Bell telephone
expired on the 30th day of January.
The patent which expired on Jan. 80
Is for the receiver now used, and it is
probable that any manufacturer may
make receivers. But to make the
transmitter it will be necessary to
wait until the Berliner patent aues-
ton has been decided or take the risks
OF having i6 declared good by the
courts and thus become liza BILE for dam
ages for Infringement.
The Berliner, patent is almost as
sweeping in its terms as the patents
under which the American Bell Tele-
phone company has been doing bust
ness, and if 1t is sustained other PEG.
pie will scarcely dare to build and
equip lines on the slight possibility
that they may be able to get sys-
tenn which will not infringe on that
already in use.
The Berliner patent covers about all
the principles of the microphone form
of tran smitter, and as that is the only
one in successful use, the sustaining
OF 1T would mean several years more
OF life for the American Bell Tele-
phone company. Even should the
courts decide against the company, il
would be still in position to main.
tain its supremacy, for no company
could enter into competition with the
American Bell Telephone company
or any of its branches on account of
the difficulty of the task. In the first
place the company has the business,
the plants, and controls all the su-
pc Tor methods of central office opera
tion, the subscribers call bells, etc.
Although no suit would probably be
brought for Infringement of the Ber-
ling patent until after decision has
been reached in the suit now pending
to determine its validity and scope,
users OF any form of microphone trans.
mltter will be held responsible.
