Salt Lake, July 29-The Herald Of
yesterday morning says:
The San Pedro road is not to stop at
the San Pedro harbor. By the fime
the last spike has been driven a fleet
of ocean steamers will be flying the
flag of the Hawaiian Island Naviga-
tion Company as an adjunct to the
road. These steamers will ply between
San Pedro harbor, Honolulu, Yokoha-
ma, China and the Philippines, and a
controlling interest in the stock of the
company will be owned by the same
men who control the San Pedro, Los
Angeles & Salt Lake railroad
II. G. Kerens of st. Louis, who
reached Salt Lake from California
yesterday. said that the company was
now being formed.
"Many details yet remain to be per-
fected," said Mr.. Kerens. "but the
steamship line is certainty. There
are to be ten large steamers for pass
enger and freight traffic and they will
be second to none in the Oriental
trade
"The steamers will work in con-
junction with the road and be practi-
cally n part of the same corporation.
We have several of the steamers al
ready. They are in the transport SER
vice at present, but by the time we
need them for our service the carrying
of soldiers to and from the Philippines
will be about completed"

TO John +. johnson, former presiuent

port. Indiana, convicted Of misappro-
priating funds of the bank and other
violations of the national banking
net and sentenced to ten years in the

Mr.. Russell, the United States
charge of legation at Caracas, cables
the State Department that the status
of the asphalt cases is practiclly un-
changed. Ho says n strong move was
made by a local judge to put the War

The asphalt lake, but this judge was
superseded and the BermudeZ COM

The State Department has received
n note from the Italian embassy at
Washington inclOsing letter from
the mayor of Turin to President Nc
kinley expressing the hope that artists
and manufacturers from the United
States will take part in the interna-
tlonal exposition of modern decorative
art, to be held in Turin in 1902 under
the patronage of the King of Italy.

statement bringing out this fact was
recently published in n report of the
War Department, showing the effect

one solidey per year in the armies of
the leading powers of the world. The
army of the United States, though the
smallest in numbers, was proportion
ately the most costly of all, and It's
aggregate cost was well up. to that
of armies of Germany, France and
Russia, which were from eight to ten
times as large. The cost of one SOL

tries is as follows: Italy $192.23;

France, S19T.65; Russia, $155.75;
United States, $1,O14G6.

Delay as to Forest Reserves.

In letter to the secretary of the in
terror, the commissioner of the general
land office states that he will recon-
mend the creation of no more forest
reservations until the law governing
lieu land selections has been ma aterially
amended, SO as to provide that lands
taken in lieu of tracts within reserves
shall not only be surveyed and open
to entry, but the tracts so selected shall
be of the same area and approximately
of the same value as the relinquished
tracts.
The secretary entertains similar
views on this general proposition.
There is therefore little probability that
any more reserves will be created until
Congress acts. This means that no
action is to be taken with regard to the
proposed Medicine Bow reserve in Col
orado and Wyoming. This attitude of
the secretary and commissioner eX-
plains the long silence with regard to
this proposition and is the real cause
for inaction.
The secretary has endorsed the action
OF the commissioner saying applica-
tions were pending for the Great ton of
reserves aggregating 10000, 900 acres in
August. which under the present law
he would not undertake.

Rev DIR. George C. Lorimer OF Bos-
Sn is in London. He is the sensation
pastor Of fremont Temple when he
at home and his religion is a mix
ire of many. with politics thrown in

' nd he has found, to his dismay. that
considerable number of the clergy
zen are not only opposed to the Boer

J deeply offended that he Is going to
Ike the rostrum and spend the next
20 months denouncing these clergy
len in case he fails to convert them.
1t will be interesting to know how
jany converts the doctor will make

rnish clergyman to misrepresent
s countrymen at the seat of British
bwer and to traduce those who. from
sense of justice, feel impelled to take

i2lces in considering the war-and

As TO "IdeaEr."

It Is said that London -fnanciers
take the projected continental boycott
of American goods seriously, and that
some of them are inclined to believe
that England should take part in it.
Their view is that the menace of Amer
lea is not merely a matter of trade. They
profess to regard the question from a
highly moral standpoint. They say 1t 10
no advantage to the world that great
nation should dominate 1t with ideals into
which, they allege, nothing except money
can enter and with system of govern
ment in which money is the controllin.
power. The ideals of Europe have ever
been higher than that, and to drop to
the American standard would be fatai
error.
Sad, isn't It? The United States is
the only country which has engaged
in war within the last forty years
from any but selfish motives. Its res
cue Of the Cubans was the only piece
of pure knight-errantry seen in that
time. Europe allowed the Armenians
to be tortured and massacred because
no European power could trust the
others where there was plunder in
sight. For the same reason Europe
permitted the Sultan to trample on the
Greeks. England Is engaged at pres
ent in stamping the life out of two
little republics for their gold mines.
Americans have the knack of getting
money, but they part with it more Law
ishly than any other people in the
world. They help to support the i'm
pecunious aristocracy of Europe,
which is willing to barter its soul for
American dollars. Mr.. Frederic Harri-
son said that the impression produced
upon him by Americas educational re-
sources was that their volume was at
least ten times that of the resources
devoted to the same purpose in Eng
land. More money Is given away for
education every year in America than
in all Europe in ten years. In Amer
lea money is often priced as means
to noble ends; in Europe 1t is sought
for selfish enjoyment. Above all. ro-
nance still survives in America. and
marriages are still made for love.
When people in Europe cease to sell
themselves into matrimony they may
talk about their ideals" and depre-
cate the error of dropping to the
American standard"

SHAMROCK SECOND
SAILS FOR AMERICA

Gourock, July 29.-The Shamrock
H.. accompanied by the Erin. sailed at
1920 o'clock Saturday morning for
New York. Great enthusiasm was dis
played as the challenger departed.
Captain Sycamore desired to go out
under canvas and he was favored with
light easterly wind, sufficient to keep
the flags streaming in the direction
the yachts had to sail. The challenger
cut strange figure with her stunted
spars and scanty canvas as she lay
ready to start.
AT 10 o'clock Sir Thomas Upton and
Mr.. Watson, the yachts designer,
boarded her and few minutes later
the challenger's moorings We're slipped,
her headsails broken out and the
Shamrock III. started on her voyage
across the Atlantic. Thousands of
people gathered along the shore and
on the pier at Gourock and greeted
the yachts departure with great
outburst of cheering, again and agam
renewed. Eats and handkerchiefs
We're waved. guns saluted and steam
whistles and sirens shrieksd.
The Shamrock's crew were all mus
tered on deck and, led by Sir Thomas,
gave hearty response to the greet
ings. For miles along the shore crowds
occupied every vantage point and the
cheers passed from group to group,
until the challenger, with her racing
flag at the masthead, and the Erin,
with the Stars and Stripes flying at
her fore. disappeared from sight.
Sir Thomas Upton remained aboard
the challenger until she was off Cum
bras, when he returned on tug. Be

Insurgents in the island of Samar, 500
men, with two field guns, thirty rifles
and seventy bolos, giving themselves
up to the American authorities.
The opinion prevails among the Unit
ed States officers that it will take years
to accomplish the economic program of
General Corbin. The civil and educa-
tional authorities hold that continu-
ance of the protection over minor posts
is necessary. aside from that afforded
by the constabulary. 1t is generally
expected that the concentration will be
more gradual than is anticipated in
Washington.

All Land Proof. suspended.

On account of timber land frauds
discovered in Montana and Idaho,
Commissioner Herman of the General
Land Office. has suspended all proofs
made during the present year under
the timber and stone act, pending con-
clusion of the full investigation and
inquiry begun some time ago.
This action applies to- all states
where government timber land is pur-
chased, and involves many thousands
of cases. Many large companies and
Spectators, it is alleged have had
dummies" as agents make purchases
of these lands from the government.
Commissioner Hermann says:
"Owing to the last act of Congress
permitting selections of valuable tim
ber lands as indemnity for lands held
by individuals and corporations within
forest reserves, n speculation in social
ed forest reserve scrip has developed
This is means by which the owner
of such lands within forest reserves
may relinquish them to the govern
ment and in lieu thereof, take unap-
propriated lands out of the public do
main, or may convey his holdings to
another person seeking to exercise the
right of selection. This provision has
produced great rivalry among specu-
latOrs and extensive mining companies
in the requirement of large tracts of
timber lands. This has induced many
others who are not owners of such
scrip or eXchangeable lands inside for
est reserves to avail themselves of an
earlier act of Congress, approved June
3, 1878, the timber and stone act.
This act limits each purchaser to 1GO
acres, and expressly requires appli-
cants to swear that the purchase is not
speculative, but is made in good faith
for his exclusive use, and that he has
made no agreement whatsoever with
any person for the transfer of his title.
For many years. particularly the past
year, this law has been grossly violated
and abused by persons who perjure
themselves before the local land offices.
The general land office has directed its
special agents to report on any fur
ther cases that may be discovered. and
all land offices have been warned to
exercise the utmost strictness In the
examination of parties and witnesses.
Many of the fraudulent proofs might
have been detected at the time had the
registrars and receivers mt the local
land offices strictly applied the rules
for scrutiny of proofs of applicants.
After such proofs have passed the local
officers. showing regularity and appar-
ent good faith of entries, it Is impossi-
BILE for the authorities here to detect
error or fraud"

To Stop Land Frauds.

The general land office is determined
as far as possible, to stamp out the
fraudulent acquisition of public lands
under the timber and stone act, an
abuse which is growing rapidly of late
and which has been brought to public
attention in Montana and Idaho, where
legal proceedings are being taken
against large number of parties.
The practice has been for rich indi-
yiduals and corporations to hire GER
tain individuals to make entries under
the timber and stone act, of rich tim
ber lands, making the entry of course
in their own name. The law requires
that such entries shall be made by n
person, who must declare his intention
to use the same for his own personal
benefits and who is sworn to have no
intention of selling his rights when
once finally acquired.
The local land officers have not al
ways been altogether fair in their deal
ings with such individuals or prospec-
tive settlers, that is. fair to the govern
ment. Some have been delinquent
from oversight, others from design.
The matter was carried on to such an
extent, however, that the department
was forced to take cognizance of the
abuses, and as result instructions
have been prepared and are being sent
to all local land officers intended to pre-
vent further abuses of the timber act.
The local officers have been instructed
to carefully and thoroughly examine all
claimants and witnesses under the
timber and stone acts The department
believes that large number of entries
which have been made in many states
under these acts were not made in
good faith for the exclusive use of the
entryman. but in the interest of spec
ulators, who procured the entries when
completed.
The department is now anxious 10
put n stop to these practices, If possi-
BILE, and punish the promoters of such
fraudulent entries. Each entryman
who swears he is making an entry in
his own interest and turns about sell
ing his entry to another, perjures him.
self, and is liable to conviction.
Local officers have been directed to
issue no final certificate in any case
unless the proof submitted is positively
satisfactory in every particular and
they are convinced beyond n reasona.
bic doubt that the entry is made in alb
solute good faith for the exclusive ben.
eft of the entryman, and the require
ments of the law have been actually
and fully complied with. In every
case where the local officers are not
convinced by evidence or through act
ual knowledge that the claimant is
acting in good faith. or where they
have presumptive evidence, reliable in
formation, or good reason to believe
that the entry is fraudulent, collusive
or Illegal, they are to receive proof, but
suspend action thereon and transmit
the same to the general land office with
their opinion in the case. The general
land office will not be satisfied with
any evidence taken in n perfunctory
way. The law requires that all road
cross examinations will be made by an
attesting officer to further test the
good faith Of claimants and witnesses.
No entry is to be allowed on the testi-
mony Of the entryman alone.
