ONE HUGE GRAFT.
People Trade Good Lands for Newly.
Made Forest Reserves

Washington, Oct. 30.-Although officials
of the interior department are stin reti-
cent as to specific cases of frauds. to-
day they discussed in general the different
schemes which have been resorted TO in
getting the better of the government in
the operations of the general land laws.
and particularly of those known as the
lieu land laws" Under the after, hold
lngs inside proposed reserve can be ex-
changed for lands outside. and in many
cases of twice the value of those re-
leased to the government
1t appears that the favorite method of
operating, and the one in which the names
of senators and members of congress
have become involved, is that of taking
advantage Of advance information as TO
where it is proposed to locate new for
est reserve 1t is charged that the men,
bers of senator's would, through other
parties, acquire large land holdings and
then use their influence to have them
set aside as forest reserves. When this
was done they would exchange their hold
ings inside the reserve for other and bet
ter lands in other parts of the pubic
domain.
The law authorizing the president to set
apart lands for forest reserves provided
that wherever there were private holdings
With nthese reservations, these could be
exchanged for other public lands outside
the reservations. The land reserved for
forest was practically worthless The land
for which it could be exchanged was
worth between - and s6 an acre.
The investigation so far shows that
bribery and perjury have been favored
methods of the land grabbers. The land
owned by the states within the forest re-
servations aggregates 3,5o0.O00 acres The
difference between the value of this land
and that on the outside for which it
could be exchanged is $3.50 per acre. This
alone represents possibility for grating
of more than 100000.
A great opportunity lay in the creation
of forest reserves where railroads and
other corporations owned the lands. Two
special instances are cited; the first,
where the Atchison, Topeka and Santa F'e
owned lands, and another where the
Northern Pacific land grants overlapped |
forest reserves. What is known as the /
San Francisco forest reservation in Ari- /
iona contains nearly 100000 acres. and I
the Atchison runs entirely through it, 1
owning each alternate section. Just as I
soon as this land was converted into I
forest reserve each quarter seceion The /
company owned of practically /
worthless land could be exchanged for I
the best public land on the outside which 4
the government owned. An overlapping
land grant of the Northern Pacific in Ida
no takes all of one quarter Of still an
other forest reserve.

the labels of three did not indicate where

of the really heroic part she took three
years ago in raising funds for the new
Metropolitan Tabernacle, which has re.
placed the famous place of worship
founded by her husband and destroyed
by fire after his death.
AT the start off. the progress of the
new tabernacle was rather slow. Mrs.
Spurgeon and her son, the Rev. Thomas
Spurgeon, who had succeeded to his
fathers pulpit, worked hard to help
swell the list of donations, but money
came in by dsiblets, and as. with an
aversion to debt characteristic of his
father, Thomas Sturgeon allowed the
new tabernacle to 60 up no faster than
funds were obtained to meet the cur
rent expenses. the end of several years
found the new building only half com,
pleted.
In thinking over the situation one day
it occurred to Mrs. Spurgeon that her
husbands old parishioners might be IN
duced to offer more liberal contribu-
tons if it We're announced that she her
self would receive them. and with this
thought came the conviction that no
better place for such ceremony could
be chosen than the tabernacle itself
incomplete as it was-and SO it came
about that one chilly day in February

church, it was put as much in order
as possible. and Mrs Spurgeon-un-
