MUST KEEP OFFICE HOURS.
Land Decision Of importance Rendered BY
Secretary Of Interior.

Lewiston, Idaho, Aug. 22.-Word
has been received from Washington
that the secretary Of the interior has
reversed the commissioners decision
in the case Of Robert J. Little vs. John
W, Bradbury.
This is the case in which II was al.
legged that Mr.. Bradbury made and
filed timber and stone entry in the
local land Office after the hour Of clos.
ing on the 18th day Of last January,
which Was Saturday. Monday morn
ing S. J. Mcfarland offered scrip ap.
plication for the same land embraced
in Bradbury's entry; the register ol
the local land Office rejected the scrip
application as being IN conflict with
the entry made by Bradbury. From
this action Mcfarland took an appeal
TO the commissioner, and fled affidagits
that Bradbury's application was re.
ceiyed alter Office hours.
The commissioner sustained the &C.
ton OF the register. :
Commissioner Is Reversed.
An appeal was taken TO the secretary
of the interior, who now reverses
the commissioner and holds that the
general circular of July IL, 1895
(page 23S) under the head Of registers
and receivers, directs that: They
will be in attendance at their offices
keeping the same open for the transac.
ton of business from a. m. till p. m.
Applications for entry cannot be
received by the register or receiver out
of Office hours nor elsewhere than al
their Office.
"While there is no statute forbiddine
them so acting, there is no statute
authorizing theui to act. The regula-
tions for their conduct not in contra
vention Of statute have all the force oi
law. II It is optional with local officers
to receive or decline applications, there
lie given opportunity for them to exer-
else favoritism and partiaIity, which
might lead TO grave mischiefe, the in
jury of many. and give occasion for
grave scandals against the integrity OF
the land department.
The decision is an important one,
in that it finally establishes the rule
that applications for entry Of land
cannot be made out OF office hours.

the inability Of the department TO ee-
cure consent for the discontinuance Of

route supplying the same.

A Hot Game Sunday.

If our regular base ball nine plays
the fourth like they did Sunday any
old scrub team could hold them down
and surpass them. If the umpire
had been little more fairer with the
picked nine Sunday, the score would
not have been as it was, AZ to 6 but
he was certainly bought over, at least
the spectators think so. Even the
captain of the regular nine was fan
ned out by the picked nine pitcher
much to his disgust. But when
Frank Adams and L. HI. hurry of
Ann Harbor, composed the battery
and Francis Colman held down the
bag on first base the last two innings
the regular nine were famed out as
fast as they came to bat. But all in
all it was lively time, at least for
Alex Higgins who assisted as coacher.

Coming to the Front.
Bayfield, Press.

Bayfield, Press.
Northern Wisconsin is rapidly COM
ing to the front as an agricultural
and stock raising country. For years
past the rush was to the prairies-.
many from Wisconsin followed the
rush. Some prospered, others barely
made living. During these years
offered opportunities to acquire-cheap
lands which no prairie land could
duplicate. Even where the pine tim
Der was removed there still remain
ed timber worth marketing. The
soil is fruitful, the water is the best
in 1he world, there are no grasshop-
pers, scourges, cyclones or thoughts
to rob the farmer of the fruit of the
toll. A move has recently been made
toward this section of the state and it
will have material good influence
upon the surrounding country.
Many of the original settlers upon
the wild lands in this nothern scoun-
try were men who did not know much
about farming and depended for
resources upon strength and industry.
Some of them succeeded, but their
success would not satisfy modern
agriculturalist. OF late years farm
ers have learned their business thro-
oughly upon lands that required all 1
the art that experience has taught
men of their calling, having followed
the pioneers, and are now picking up
one by one improved farms; their
object being to introduce modern
methods of tilling in place of the
somewhat primitive ways of the origi
nal settlers. Instances occur where
southern Wisconsin farmers have
sold farals at $75 or Size an acre and
bought northern Wisconsin land forl
$15 to $50 an acre and some locating
on abandoned or cut and burnt over
lands. They find they can raise
better crops than on their worm out
homesteads. Such is the future of
this part of the state.

A Cruel Trick.
Grant County Herald.


A peculiarly mean swindler is
working cruel game among the
unsuspecting people throughout the
state. His scheme is to call on a
family and offer to pull all their teeth
for nothing if they will buy new set
of him. The offer is so aalluring that
tbs nearly always accepted, for the
majority of people are more than will
ing to get something for nothing,
even if it is2no more than to have
their teeth pulled. Then the intiner-
ent dentist goes away and allowes the
gums to recover, when he calls again
and measures the family for store
teeth all around. Here is where he
gets in his tine work, well worthy .
Washington avenue CRATER. He in
sists on cash payment of onehalf
for the new plate, and, of course, his
toothless victims give up, feeling
that they are at his mercy. Then he
fades away nevermore to return, and
the local dentist has to finish up the
job. 1t does seem as if some people
never would cut theiraeye teeth.
