ENTIRELY NEW PLAN
Mr. LhndIey OF Pond Greek Offers
usSestiOn.


Mr.. E. D. Lindley Of Pond Creek has
suggested the following plan for the
opening of the Kiowa an Comanche-
country:
The government shall place on each sec
ton OF land 3 soldier with the numbers
Of the quarter sections he is on. The first
man that reaches him shall receive the
number of quarter section that he calls
for. The next man the same, and so on
until the section Is taken. If an appli-
cant is entitled to only eighty acres or
kss. the f1flh man shah be informed of
how many acres are left in that section
and BY making application TO the sol
der the latter shall issue 70 him the num-
Der Of the land that Is left.
On the morning of the opening Of the
country the government shall have estab-
lished along the line booths requiring ap-
plicahts to hle affidavit that hs is ene44ed
to a homestead entry. mere shall be an
original and a duplicate certihcate-t-.e
applicant signs both-each shall contain
booth and certificate number Applicant
takes the duplicate. and upon presenting
the same in person TO the soldier before
section is taken viii be enuded TO the
number Of the land he calls for. The sol
der takes the duplicate to The land office
with the number Of the land he issued. If
the applicants duplicate signature is tae
same as on the original he is entitled 70
a fling wnen he presents his number in
person.
II the above plan is pursued there viii
be no sooners." no contests and 20 fraud
at any time, before or after settlement.
Persons not having booth certificates VIII
have no occasion 70 run for land, as the
soldier VIII not recognize settler unless
he has a certificate In order to obtain
booth certificate applicant must state on
oath whether or not he is entitled 10 land.
The soldier duty Is plain. He assigns
no person TO land unless they present
numbered certificate from one Of the gov
eminent booths. After settlement al GER
tifcates are taken TO the land Once by
the soldier, and. as stated before, If Ia
applicants duplicate compare with the
original at the land Office the settler is
duly entitled 10 the land 10 which he has
been assigned by the soldier.

THE Democrats were unable u,

THE Democrats were unable under the House rules to prevent the rail- roading of the Philippine tariff bill through the House, but Representative Richardson, the Democratic leader in the House, who prepared the minority report against the bill, ably set forth the attitude c. the Democratic party toward this bill After quoting from official statistics to show that our trade with the Philippines last year was only 6, AZ, ,706 the report said: This pal try sum is insignificant when we con sider the other side of the account. It has cost us more than $S5, 5,000, 900 to maintain our army in the Philippines for the past year. Other nations. with out mourning the expense of a dollar toward that end. are getting s4S, S,ooo,. 900 worth of Philippine trade. We have already expended and will have expeu. ded when the next year closes, st the very lowest estimate, for the mainte. nance of our army in the Philippines
 
 and our operations in the Orient moi less than s450, ,0o0.0 900. And this does mol include the immense increase in naval expenditures and the t20.000, ,00C paid to Spain under the treaty of 1899. The casualities which have occurred in the effort to enforce the policies of the ma jority of the islands are of such apall ing magnitude sha. it should shock ths public mind. Andsuch list-of casualitie, would in no wise refer to, or include those of our soldiers whose health hal been permanently broken down, and O many others whose reason snd.intelieci have been shattered and ruined b! protraeted service In a tcrrid zone"

FORT CASWELL
FILLING IN THE lSLEsO BEHIND THE
SEA WALL.
The Work VIII Require Three Months
More to Complete the Contract for
DeposIting 100000 Cubic Yards of
Earth-The Big Dredce Is Digging
Ont q Fine Harbor

We were pleased last night to meet
Captain c. P. WychgeI, superintendent
OF the Atlantic, Gulf Pacific Com
in the island behind the great sea
wall He came up to the city on BUSH
ness yesterday. AS heretofore stated In
The Messenger the Atlantic, Gulf and
Pacific Company's powerful suction
dredge, No. 3, is filling in the island
with sand, mud and shells pumped by
suction from the bottom of the bay and
thrown on the island by means OF a
twenty-five inch iron pipe. This ma
terial is lifted a height of ten feet and
discharged on the island through 1.SOO
feet of pipe.
The big dredge began work October
26th and is lifting and filling in from
5000 to 1000 square yards a day. About
$4,000 square yards of material has
been deposited on the island up to this
lime and the contract will be complet-
ed in about three IN more. The
island is being filled in to a height of
twelve feet on a level with the stone
sea wall, and 1t requires about 500. 900
square feet of earth to do it.
Captain Wychel says the material
which he gets from the bottom OF the
bay is mud, sand and shells. The
dredge is now at work in a huge bed
Of shells mixed with a little sand. The
shells make fine material for filling in
the island but it renders the work of
the dredge slower than when it has to
suck only mud and sand. The dredge
works day and night, making it's own
electric light for the night work.
We are informed by Captain Wychgel
that the dredge is at work on the
Southport side of the island and is cut
ting a channel $500 feet long and 800
feet wide, and that the government will
not only get the benefit from filling in
