GERMANY AND THE
UNITED STATES.

Officials of the German Foreign
Office express themselves deeply
concerned at the feeling against
Germany manifested in the United
States, and have taken pains, in
premeditated interviews, to de-
clare the friendly sentiments of
Germany toward America. But
where do they find, or how have
they learned the anti-German SEN
timent that alarms them? 1t is
not plainly perceptible to the
American observer.
The Philadelphia Times says:
Some of our military statesmen, to
be sure, who believe in big army
and navy, have been warning us of
Germany's insidious designs; but
we do not find that the country
has taken their warnings very
seriously. There have been some
irritating incidents. There was
the blunder of the German admiral
at Manila; there have been seem
ingly offensive DEGREES against
American food products; there have
been various rivalries that were
occasionally ruffiing; but that these
have caused an anti-German feel
ing there is no evidence. The
stories of Germany designs upon
America have come altogether
from English sources, and it is
probably through the same channels
that the Germans have heard of
antipathy to them.
1t need not be disguised that the
aggressive military spirit which is
characteristic of Germany is as
foreign to American ideas as the
theory of government represented
by the German Emperor. Such
demonstrations as that made in
China rub American sentiment the
wrong way. But we are, not con
cerned in these except to insist
that the government Of the United
States shall not be implicated in
them. If this aggressive spirit
should at any time be manifested
on this side of the globe, there is
no doubt that American suspicion
would be excited and hostility
aroused We shall not be afraid
of that, however, if our own gov
ernment will learn to mind its own
business.
Certain English journals have
been laboring earnestly to set
Germany and the United States by
the ears. Some official Americans
who ought TO know better have
followed their cue. The motive is
apparent and we do not
believe that Americans generally
are in the least disturbed. Any
government can pick a quarrel
with any other if it tries, but if
Germany wants no quarrel with
the United States it need have
none. The vaporings of the Lod-
ges and Longs do not represent
public opinion here.

How to Take up Land,

There are two kinds of filings or
public lands open to the intending
| settler-the homestead and the
desert entry. The timber entry
law has been repealed by Congress
Every citizen of the United
States over twenty-one years Of
age, without regard to sex, is en-
titled under the laws to 320 acres
of public land. This he may file
on as 100 acres homestead and 100
acres desert, or the whole 500 acres
as desert, but he cannot take up
the whole 800 acres as homestead.
Any married woman, living with
her husband or otherwise, may
take up 800 acres as desert entry
in her own name, independent of
her husband. Any married wo-
mau, separated from her husband
and not divorced, but dependent
for her living upon her own ex-
ertions, can file on homestead,
but not otherwise. Unmarried
females of legal age have, ofcourse,
the same rights as males.
Under the homestead law, after
the filing has been made, period
Of six months is allowed in which
to build a house, move thereon
and establish u residence. After
a continuous residence of fourteen
months, if the entryman chooses,
he may commute his entry to
cash entry by paying sl.25 an
acre and making his final proof.
Otherwise he can live on his land
and cultivate it for period of five
years, make the final proof and get
his patent by paying the usual fees
to the district land office. Proof
is made with affidavit with two
witnesses.
A desert entry requires pay
ment Of 25 cents an acre when the
filing is made. This entry can only
be made on land which will not
grow crop without irrigation.
Continuous residence upon the
land is not required, but the law
does require the expenditure of 81
an acre for each and every acre
filed upon for three years. This
expenditure can be covered by i'm
provements of any and all kinds
made upon this land, whether in
ditching, planting trees, building
or some other way. AT the expira-
ton of each year after filing the
of expenditures and i'm
provements have to be returned to
the district land office under oath
corroborated by two witnesses.
The law requires that one must
own sufficient water to irrigate
5he whole tract by the end of four
years, when final proof shall be
made, and one must cultivate dur
ng those four years fully one
,ighth Of the number of acres filed
lpon. At the end of four years, if
he law has been complied with,
'ne must pay 81 an acre additional
md will then receive patent for
he land.
AS to the use of land scrip, any
,itizen who wants piece Of land
lot already acquired, can take it

Great Opposition to OIL Projects in

CASPER, Wyo., Nov. 2S.-Owing to
strikes in oil in widely scattered parts OF

tors and spectators.
Wells are being driven in half a dozen
different fields. and there is every reason
to believe that the advent of the New
Year will witness many new ones
throughout the State At the same time
this industry is meeting with great oppo-
sition from cattle and sheep men, who
say that their business is being ruined
by the taking of so much land for oil
purposes, the lands SO set aside invaria
bly, being valley land and near water, both
OF which are indispensable to stock rais-
Ing.
Recently, in Natrona, the central coun-
ty of the State, forty-two townships,
almost 1,000.0G0 acres, were reserved for
oil working. These lands were examined
by Government experts, who pronounced
them to be valuable oil territory. and
subject to entry as such. There are at
present number OF producing wells in
the lands SO set aside.
The Government allows twenty acres to
be taken up as an oil claim. certain
amount OF work must be done on each
claim each year in order to hold the
property. Work on roads leading TO such
a claim is accepted.
Claim holders in the northern part of
Natrona county alone have fled affidavits.
