LAND OFFICE DECISION
The Mad Rush for New Lands Was
 Practically Useless

A special from Blackfoot, Idaho, says that the land office at that place has rendered deciscion in the case of Poirrie Delmas of Butte, Mont. The plaintiff sought the possession of a piece of land on Fort Hall Indian reservation, recently thrown open by the government, on the ground that he was the first to place foot on the ground following the opening of the reserva- tion. The decision is against Delmas, as it was held that the presence of the tract of land in question was not necessary, as knowledge of the land in question was all that was necessary to file and give valid title. The con- testor of Delmas' claim did not take the trouble of participating in the wild scramble at the opening of the reserva- tion. but immediately after filed his location in the land office.
 The decision of the land office is based upon the fact that there was no so-called "sooner clause" in the throw ing open of Indian lands.
 According to the action of the land office the mad rush made for the new lands was practically useless. Many filings were made by "sooners, and it is believed extended litigation will follow the finding of the land office.

Association to Enforce Contracts

The California Cured Fruit Associa. tion intends to enforce its contract against all members for the per cent. of their crop. It is claimed by the directors that the courts in cases already passed upon, have held that each and every member is liable to the association for this amount and must pay it. Whatever funds the associa- tion has is to be distributed among the members when the affairs are finally settled and this percentage is looked upon as one of the assets.

Casey Sees Co1ombians

Panama-A conference between the government representative and Rear Admiral Casey took place Friday. The admiral said the object of the confer ence was to see if the government and the revolutionists could come to some agreement or arrange the basis for such an agreement. He could not say much on the subject, for he had only one side of the question. He considered, however, that the terms offered in President Maroquin's amnesty decree were liberal His only Idea in con- ferring with the authorities was to end the strife which he considered unpatri. otic, for it not only ruins the country, but delays the steps being taken look ing to the completion of tie canal. He did not see from the argument he had heard that there was much difference in the principles held by either of the Colombian parties, except in mat ters relative to the church. Admiral Casey is studying the terms which the government offered and in a day or two will send communication to Gen. eral Herrera, the revolutionary com mander. expressing his views on the situation, and will propose that the general hold conference with Gen. eral Salazar, the government com mander.
 Admiral Casey received last Satur- day General Herrera's reply to Con- mander McLean's communication noti- flying the general that the United States had resumed control of the

R. C. DUN'S MONTHLY REVIEW
Trade Condition for September in
 Southern California

CUutuSIu SdulOIuld
 Trade conditions of country continue good. The fall trade already booked is exceptionally large. The demand for cereals is continuous and active. Prices above average for some years past:
 The furry in Wall Street was of inn portance chiefly to speculate and serv- ed to emphasize the inherent stability of our trade conditions.
 Coal situation is beginning to re- tard industrial progress and settlement of strike in Pennsylvania has become of national importance.
 In our immediate district all reports for the month show prosperity and con- fidence. Bean harvest is in full swing. Last of October will find them all sacked. Crop of Limas will not reach last years output. Late estimates do not find more than 500,000 sacks to credit to Southern California this season. Prices are now $3.50 for new crop, contract. Probably last years price of $4.25 will be reached.
 Conditions this season have been most favorable for successful sugar campaign. Oxnard will turn out about 25,000 tons. Chino 10000 tons. Los Alamitos 5000 tons.
 Walnuts are beginning to move out. The estimated output is $50 carloads, about l50 more than last year. The demand is exceptional and a large percentage of the product has been sold or contracted for. No. l soft shells have been priced at 10 cts. No. l Standard at 91a.
 Cured fruit market is firm with active demand for apricots and peaches. Figs are moving freely and prices advanced cents on ten lb. boxes. Grape curing is progressing, 1st car load of raisins went forward the mid dle of September. The crop is esti- mated 0,000 tons. Prices made by Association on standard brands f. O. b. cents for 2-crown, 5 cts. for B. crown, cents for 4-crown will net the growers cts. in sweatbox.
 Movement in citrus fruit is very light. Fancy Valencias are bringing unusually high prices. Indications are right for good orange crop coming season.
 The honey shipment will reach 195 carloads, which is more than was expected.
 Locally retail trade is good and in jobbing branches the demand for fall goods in all lines is strong. Mer- cantile collections are rather slow so far, for the month
 Activity in building shows no signs of abatement.
 Failures for month, 8. Liabilities, $17, 800. Assets, 300. For same last year: Failures, z.
 Liabilities, $16, 125. Assets, $4,954.
