IMPORTANT TO ARKANSAS.
Congressman MoRaes Bill to Confirm
Certain Cash Entries.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 14.-Hon.
Thomas C. McRae has scared the
passage through the House of a bill
entitled: "a bill to confirm cer-
tain cash entries
This bill, while general in its pro-
visions, is of vast Importance to the
people of certain part of Arkan-
sas, and was drawn and introduced
for their especial protection.
The effect of the bill is to confirm
certain cash entries of public lands,
which were technically invalid for
the reason that the land had never
been offered at public sale. The
land in question and the titles to
which will be quieted and rendered
valid by the act lie north of the new
state line authorized by act of May
10, 1923 and south of the old Louis
lana state line, in the extreme
southern portion of the state.
The bill reads as follows
can entries of the public lands
made under the provisions of the
act entitled An act to graduate
and reduce the price of the public
lands to actual settlers and cultiva-
tors, approved August 4, 1894,
which are illegal and invalid because
of the fact that the lands covered
thereby had never been offered for
sale, be and the same are hereby
confirmed, il, upon examination by
the commissioner of the general
land office, the same are found to
be otherwise regular, and in compli-
ance with said act and the acts sup
Elemental thereto"
The report of the committee on
public lands contains the following;
" y So far as the COM
mittee has been informed these en-
tries exist in Arkansas, south of
the Louisiana boundary line and
north of the new line authorized by
the act of May l8, 1923, but it is
general in its application"
Mr.. McRae will press the bill to a
passage through the Senate, and
will spare no effort to secure its fin
al passage and approval during the
present session of Congress.

THE HEALTH MEETING
At BelIaire, Yesterday. Did Not Amount to
Much from a Practical Point of View.


The health meeting az Bellaire, yes
terday afternoon, appears TO nave been
something very differen. from what was
generally expected, and as result there
5 no change whatever n the s-juatlon,
and no one secured any very consider
able amount of information not current
before the meeting convened.
Instead ot its being meeting OF the
State Board of Health, 1t was SIMPLY a
meeting of committee CT Two of the
members Of the Board-Dr. c. o..
Pr0bs., It's Secretary, and DR.. T. c.
Hoover. Tae latter presided, while DR..
Probsr acted as secretary. There were
present representatives, Of towns in SIX
counties of Eastern Ohio, 10 the total
number of about sixty. About the only
thing Of value ELECTED was the state
msnt of the delegate from M!1,onsburg,
Belmont county, that there were five
eases of smallpox IN the vicinity Of
that town. a sixth case in the town, and
a seventh in Malaga township. This
originated by importation from Bridge
port, but the fact was not brought out
at Yesterdays meeting Mr.. Ersk,ne,
of this city. representing The Wheeling
Railway Company. said his cars were
stopped at Buckeye street Martin s
Ferry. by the authorities Of that town,
although there was no quarantine in
existence, and asked permission to run
the cars on up town to the end Of the
line near Hanover street. After a long
discuss. on this request was denied.
A certain element in Bellaire, hoping
to obtain an expression from the two
members Of the State Board favorable
to re-establishing a quarantine against
Bridgeport and Martins Ferry, pressed
Drs. Probst and Hoover for an opinion
upOn that point, with the result that
DR.. Prcbst said he was emphat.cally
opposed to any such measure, while DR..
Hoover said that as the quarantine was
now off. he would not recommend its
resumption.
There was about the same expression
of opinion from the two members. of the
State Board regarding the Eas, LIVER
POOL quarantine. DR. Probst being OPP

aid not think the measure was justified,
