A very amusing letter was re-
ceived by Commissioner of the
General Land Office Hermann,
recently. The writer is a resi-
dent of Johnson City, Tenn. who
was formerly a land owner in
Kansas. He had been notified by
the department to show cause
within 30 days why his entry to
the Kansas land should not be
forfeited. Judging by his letter,
he had not heard of the boom
that has struck Kansas. The
letter is as follows
Johnson City, Nov. 80, 1897
Register of the United States
Land Office, Wakeeney, Kansas !:
My Dear Sir-Answering your
favor of the third instant, refer
ing to my entry No. 9,005, under
the homestead law, will say that
| have no cause to show within
30 days (nor 30 weeks, nor
months even) why my claim
should not be forfeited to said
pieces of land in that arid region,
where rains are as scarce as the
proverbial hens teeth and as far
between as angels visits; where
water is more precious than
diamonds; where the lean and
hungry coyote banks to the maj
este silence of the lonely and I'M
peopled prairies; where the fes-
tive jackrabbit wanders unmoles-
ed, lordly monarch of all he sur
veys, and mourns for his lost
companions, the Indian, buffalo
and settler, who are not.
| voluntarily surrender all my
right, title and interest in said
land forever and irrevocably to
the eminent domain of our Uncle
Sam. Blessed be his magnani-
nous great heart for that benifi-
cent homestead law that plants
the settler on his low1y claim 40
miles from nowhere and out of
Gods knowledge, to delve o for
tune from the bosom of Mother
Earth to the tune of billiards.,
cyclones, grasshoppers and cinch
bugs, and after a few short and
fitful years, full of sorrow and
hard work, to seek his last and
only rest in the bosom of Mother
Earth, mis- only companion in his
isolation. ] congratulate his ex-
cellency, the president, on his
magnificent addition to the pub

Rumors are current that even
at this date the Governor NAV
conclude to call an extra session
OF the Legislature. For some
time it has been evident to the
onlooker in politics that the Chief
Executive of the Commonwealth
OF Idaho was between the devil
and the deep sea in regard to
this proposition of recalling in
special session the late lamented
fourth legislature. Since the
fee bill decision the laws of the
State have been marching with
deadly precision against the cary
ing knife welded by the supreme
court. Indeed as the Governor
sits in his Office in the capitol
and views the remains Of the
work OF the late Legislature SEES
sion he is reminded of Waiter
sons's story of party marching
through the slaughter house to
an open grave. On the other
hand to call an extra session will
entail an additional expense not
at all likely to attract voters

remains of ancient civilizations
that existed so long ago that
even the Oldest writers that we
have had never heard of them,
and the inscriptions left on stones
are unintelligable, no key being
known with which to decipher
them. Archologists, by the aid
of biologists, have placed, by
sound reasoning, mans first APP
pearance in the Age known to
geology as the early Quarter
nary. Now the falls of Niagara,
have cut back in hard sandstone,
underlaid by shale, the distance
Of n miles since the Quarternary
began. The rate that the falls
cut at the present time is J foot
per annum; therefore if the rate
was always the same, roughly
speaking, man has been in ex-
istence on the earth for the great
space of $4,000 years. but the
rate that the falls receded may
not have been always the same.
Yet, however, there has been an
age of ice since man appeared
(the Glacial epoch), which must
have lasted for thousands of
years to have done the work it
did. The Columbia river has cut
down nearly 5000 feet through
basaltic lava since Quarternary
times, and the estimated depth
that it wears each year, at the
present time is one inch in seven
years. Butt it is safe to say that
the erosion is not uniform, for
there are soft and hard stratas
from top to bottom of the walls,
yet, the time required to cut
down this great depth in the
basalt, was about equal to the
time required for Niagara falls
to cut their way back seven
miles. Anyway we take it that
man has existed for a great
length of time on the earth, and
if his forefathers were apes, he
has lived long enough since to
in manner live the stigma down.
What a bitter morsel for the
bellies of high society to swal-
low. Their ''grandad" may have
been statesman, yet his gran
dad" may have been an ape.
No matter from what man des-
cended, he is now a man and he
is endowed with the glorious
faculty of reason, for by reason
man, an animal, has raised him
self above the other animals, so
far that he cares not from what
he descended.
