\ Rush for Land

The vicinity of PinhOOk is a scene
of considerable interest Eel the dis
tribution of 5000 acres of land lying
but a short distance from Frisco post
Office. Walter Phelan, a Bloomfield
real estate man, has taken charge of
of this land, although he does not
profess to have any title to it, and is
parcelling it out to settlers in from 40
to 200 acre tracts. To these settlers.
Mr.. Phelan gives a quit-claim deed,
and generally receives for each deed a
small consideration from p cts. to 81.
Louis Houck and his wife Mary H. G..
HOuck claim to own the land in ques-
ton, however, and, through Houck,
their attorney, instituted proceedings
against Phelan and secured an..injunc-
ton by the court fOrbiding him to
give away more of the land. Phelan's
attorney, DR.. Hunt. has also been
placed under bond.
The first distribution of these lands
took place last Thursday, and about
1900 acres were taken up by settlers,
who went on the lands at once ard
commenced to build houses. To-day
was set for another distribution. but
the injunction granted by the court
may prevent it. Last Saturday George
Houck had printed a circular giving
warning to the public TO have nothing
to do with these lands. This
circular was distributed in Pin
hook vicinity, but report comes that
the people there who were IN
tering thu lands simply laughed at it
and refused to heed it. The Sheriff
was sent to that neighbOrhOod to-day
on special business for Houck, but we
were unable to learn the import of
his visit. 1t is also announced that
DR.. A. w. Hunt will make a speech
there to-day. 1t is certain. however
that there will be l~ivelier times there
than we have yet recorded.
The Messenger has been unable to
get any lnlOrIldllOH OH WHICH 10 base
an opinion as to who is the rightful
owner of the lands. The lands belong
to what is known as the ''gravel road
lands, and were coded to the county
by the State for the purpose of build
ing gravel roads. Mr.. Louis Houck
got a claim on the tract in question
and decided it to his wife, the con-
s%ideratiOn in the deed being 81. Mr..
Phelan claims that Mr.. Houck had no
legal right to the lands and hence con-
cluded to get the matter into the courts
by giving the lands away and putting
settlers on it. At least the situation is
a snovel one, and is most likely with
out a parallel. AS Don as We a
get at the records we will give our
readers a full statement of all the
facts bearing on the right ownership
of these lands. -Dexter Messenger.

Console Yourself With the KnowI-
edge That Alaska Swarms With
Hungry Mosquitoes
There are mosquitoes and mosqui-
toes, unfortunately. Science has de-
termined that there are no less than
80 distinct varieties of the foul brood
in the world.
Popular sentiment, however, has
reduced the categorical arrangement
of these insects to two classes-large
and small. The former are, indigen-
Gus to New Jersey, the latter are in
digenous to the remainder of the hab-
liable world.
Mosquitoes. like other creatures
presenting bills. are looked on with
Odium by all men. Men of feeling
seek to reject their advances. nor are
they in any wise consOled by the fact
that the mosquitoes themselves feel
for them. In North America we are
afflicted with t~wenty-One separate and
particularly aggravating species. The
largest varieties are found in the trOp-
les. but these are of a certain lazy.
tanguorOus temperament. made listles
by the enervating airs of their chimes.
On the contrary, ours of the North
are of a diabolically vivacious tenn
permanent. which unites in itself the
winged Inconsistency of the Irishman's
flea with the awful and horrid persis-
tency of the blood-quaffiing vampire.
To those who look on the advent of
summer as the season for dog day and
mosquito weather it may be of interest
to state that there is no temperature
limit to the full ~ferocity of the f~actious
insect. Attic Alaska swarms with
these noxious insects during the brief
season of its boreal summer Indeed.
it is alleged that the adjective boreal
is derived from the mosquitoes method
of attack rather than from atmospheric
phenomena.
1t is with a distinct realization of
SiO oio PCohdDl DCuCICCuCc VI dill tN-
dictionary Providence.that we decla re
the behemoth of mosquitoes to be los
sis. In the dim, defunct distance of
that deliriOus cycle known as the ter
tiary mosquitoes were mOnstrous, not
alone in crimes against the public
peace, as to-day, but also in bulk,
Science, with the sad simplicity of
truth, has given to the mosquitoes of
that afflicted time the explicit name of
''culex damnatorum,'' which, being
translated, is ''gnat of the damned"
Mosquitoes, according to the 'asser-
tiOns of psychologists, propagate
such diseases as yellow fever. 1t
has been observed that whenever the
fever comes the mosquitoes come also,
and when the fever goes,s then depart
the mosquitoes.
