Important Decision Involving Rights Of
Homesteaders.

Important Decision Involving Rights oi
Homesteaders.
A Washington special of July 18th
says: Geheral Land Commissioner
Herman has issued circular to regis.
tiers and receivers of local land Offices in
which he calls attention to an act OF
congress which makes it possible for
homesteaders to make second home
stead entries. Particular attention is
called to the fact that homesteader
who cotnmuted his entry, that is to say,
a homesteader who resided on his selec.
ton for fourteen months and then paid
the government Sl.25 an acre for the
land, is also allowed to make a second
entry in lieu of remaining on the land
FIVE years. If this selection should also
be commuted he cannot make another
entry.
The act under which the present law
is operative also provides that any per-
son who has made homestead entry
but from any cause has lost or forfeited
the same, shall be entitled to the benefi,
of the homestead laws as though such
former entry had not been made'
Therefore, says the commissioner, you
will not hereafter reject homestead
application on the ground that the ap'
plicsnt cannot take the prescribed oath
that he has not previously made such
an entry, or because he has perfected
title to land entered under the home
stead law, that he will be required tc
show by affidavit designating the entry
formerly made by description of the
land, number and date of entry, or other
sufficient data, to enable the same to be
modified on the records of this Office.

Soft Coal Situation.

Coal Trade journal
II ever the soft coal producers In this
country had an opportunity for expand
ing their trade and profits, this year
seems to be the time. In all parts OF this
country there IL the sign of prosperity
and this means that our bituminous
coal will be IN demand for some time TO
come, and that the tonnage thereof will
he large: such being the case there Is
no necessity for the cutthroat business
methods which prevailed In years when
demand was less. The miners have
been promised higher rate Of wages
than has prevailed heretofore, the rail
roads carrying the coal are to get more
for that service, and the producer Is
adding profit for his share in the pros
perity.
There Is said to have been quite a
movement Of soft coal In the past week
to and from all loading ports, so that
the market for the time being is quoted
as somewhat easier In tone and In price;
in the latter regard IL is from tho spec
ulative figures which prevailed at the
eastward, where the arrivals have been
unusually large, so that consumers are
picking up a few bargains, for they need
not fatter themselves that conditions
such as were had last year at the open
ing will prevail.
Probably no higher or better authori-
ty for hopefulness respecting foreign
trade has yet been in evidence than the
following paragraph from President
Cassetts first annual report at the head
of the Pennsylvania; The general bus
iness of the country may be expected to
increase in the future AS In the past, as
the steel, iron and coal industries
which furnish such u large proportion
of your tonnage, are entering upon q
new era, being no longer restricted u
supply the home demand, but able u
compete successfully in markets OF tn,
