SAILS FOR AMERICA

Gourock, July 29.-The Shamrock
H., accompanied by the Erin, sailed at

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

cut Il strange figure with her stunted
spars and scanty canvas as she lay
ready to start.

Mr.. Watson, the yachts designer
boarded her and few minutes later

We're waved. guns saluted and steam
whistles and sirens shrieksd.
The Shamrocll's crew were all mus

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
nag 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

they had done already and wishing
them God speed on the voyage and Il

All Land Proofs 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 pIr-
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:
lowing 10 the last act of Congress
permitting selections of valuable tim
Der lands as indemnity for lands held
by individuals and corporations within
forest reserves, II speculation in social
cd forest reserve scrip las developed.
This is means by which the owner
of such lands within forest reserves
may relinquish them TO the govern
mcut and In lieu thereof, take unap-
propriatCd 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 cXchangcahle lands inside for
est reserves to avail themselves of an
earlier act Of Congress. approved June
3, 1878, the timber ana stone act.
This act limits each purchaser to 1GO
acres. and expressly requires appll-
cants to swear that the purchase Is not
speculative. but Is made In good faith
for his exclusive use, nnd that lie 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 10y persons who pcrjure
themselves before the local land offices.
Tie general land office has directed its
special agents to report on any fur
thcr cases that may he discovered. and
all land offices have been warned to
exercise the utmost sIrlctnoss In the
examination of pnrtics and witnesses.
Many of the fraudulent proofs might
have been detected at the time had the
registrars and receivers N 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. II Is impossi-
bic for the authorities here to detect
error or fraud"
