Washington, Nov 26-All entries of
public lands IN Califo mia, Washington
and Oregon under what is known as
the timber and stone act have been
held up by the government on account
of alleged wholesale speculative frauds
anG riCid investigation will be made.
There are some hundreds of thousands
Of aces involved in these entries.
The interior department has received
many TaDers charging the existence of
FRAUDS in the entries and Secretary
Hitchcock will urge upon congress the
necessity of prompt action in amend
ing the law to protect the public do
main from despoilers At some local
lard offices carloads of entrymen ar
rive simultaneously and make timber
and stone act entries and the circum-
stances indicate that the cash required
to exploit the entries originate from
some other source. The cost of an en-
try of 100 acres under that act, with
the Incidental commissions, is $415
and as many as five members of one
family, according to official reports,
who never had. $2,075 in their lives,
have walked into land office and paid
the price for the land and commits
sions. INSCRIPTIONS spectators also,
it is claimed, have obtained timber
upon the unreserved timber lands by
making so-called mining claims under
the placer mining laws. The depart
ment proposes to institute rigid in
quiries into the bona fide nature of
these entries and when they are found
to be entered in the interest of others
than the entrymen the entry will in
every case be cancelled and formal
proceedings begun. All local land Of

1901, ATT acres, South Dakota 11,383,-
413, Montana 81, 439 ,514 and Wisconsin

lands aggregating 19,4SS,535.30 acres,
classified as follows: Cash sales,
1,757,592.63 acres; miscellaneous en-

GA, 1925 acres, and Indian lands,
116, 1922 acres, showing an increase
of 1925, 1913 acres, as compared with
the aggregate disposal for the proceed
ing fiscal year.
1.-The total cash receipts during the
fiscal year from various sources, in
Guiding disposal of public land, aggre-
gate $6,261, 927.1S, an increase of ST.
289, 1868. over the preceding fiscal

The Michigan station reports an acct
dental development in sugar beet grow
ing. 1t is of special interest because
it may lead to u new and improved
method of procedure and therefore
prove of great value to sugar beet
farmers. a test of it would be in
order this fall.
In the year 1900 few sugar beet
seed were grown at the station, with
a view to studying the question of
home production of seed: This expert
ment met with fair success, a small
crop of seed being produced that year
and the same planted in the spring of
1901. The beets from this planting are
to be replanted the coming season.
The results thus far demonstrate the
possibility of growing sugar beet seed
in that locality. The development Of
this branch of the industry will require
years of careful work, but it suggests
line of experiment that calls for fur
ther and particular attention.
From the plants that produced seed
in the fall of 1900 few seeds were
scattered on the ground. They lived
through the winter and came on the
following spring, giving a substantial
growth of beets Of good size, which
harvested Sept. Z, and III gave av-
erage yields of 1877 per cent sugar.
The possibility of seeding to sugar
beets in the fall is being tested by fur
Their experiment from seedlings made
in October, 1901.
The result of this accidental expert
ment in fall seeding points to a new
possibility in the management Of the
sugar beet crop. Beets Of large size
and with a satisfactory percentage of
sugar were produced. Could this
method of planting be practiced, it
would be a great help in distributing
the, work of trimming the beets and
caring for the crop.

Washington, Nov. 25.-President
Roosevelt will put the finishing
touches to his annual message to con-

The document is practically completed
now, but it is the presidents desire
finally to consult several of the lead
els in both branches of congress as to
one or two features of the message be-
fore he commits it to the hands of the
printer.
This was day of conferences at the
| executive offices. The president ar
| rived in his Office early and soon was
beseiged by callers. With several SEN
| ators and representatives he had en-
gagements and he declined to see all
| others. During the hour before lunch
con the president had brief confer
| ences with Senators Allison Qa),
Lodge (Mass.), Foster (Wash.), Quay
(Pa.), Fairbanks Qnd), Stewart
(Nev), McComas (Md), Elkins CIV.

Speaker Henderson and Representa-

Nearly every one of the callers was

| no opportunity was Afforded to discuss
| the important questions the consider

Many of them announced as they
left the executive Offices that they had
| called
Merely to Pay Their Respects.
Few of them discussed with the pres
ident any matters of policy.
With the views of all the president is
| reasonably familiar. With Senator
Quay and with Speaker Henderson the
president was in conference for half
an hour or more. The former did not

sion in congress, but the speaker de-
clined to enter into any of the details
of the conference.
Mr.. Cannon had only brief inter
view with the president during which
they talked of no public questions.

is understood, will be with special ref
