| interest OF ScftppeIS-
On the recent stringent rulings o
the United States land department al
to the timber land locations the Eure
ka Evening Herald charges that the
ruling was made in the interest of the
scrip syndicate in the following Ian
guage:
rs It not a fact that this ruling was
made for the exclusive use and bene
fit of the combination who own and
control the scrip issued by the govern
ment?
"Is not all the scrip owned and con.
trolled by a few wealthy concerns, and
are not the banks the repositories of
scrip in question? Can you not find
scrip in banks adjacent to every local
land office, sent by banks in Chicago
st. Louis. San Francisco and other
large cities? All this is perfectly le-
gitimate unless used for colluslve and
corrupt purposes.
"Did it not become imperative on
the part of scrip holders to buy and
own parties who could assist them in
securing lands. and is not the contem-
plated act of congress the reason why
the scrip holders are fighting to get all
the land possible? Has not some 75.-
000 acres Of land been gobbled up in
the Eureka land Office district in the
past month? VIII not 125,00O acres
more be gobbled up this month, and is
not the effort made to throw out or tie
up each and every claim that can be
possibly upset by hook or crook? 1t
has been truly stated that no patents
are issuing. Why? That is the ques-
tion. and the one who can answer this
has the key TO the situation.
why are parties stationed in every
district land office in the United States
every day to take a list Of all the
filings and proving on each and every
tract involved? Why are they paying
locators and others to get contests up
to test claims, and furnishing the nee
essary funds to do Il? How is it that
in many OF the large firms where tim
Der lands are pledged and hypothecat.
ed as security that reports are fur.
nished from the land Offices every day

why is 1t that no complaint is made?

Strict Construction of Rules
Governing the Making
of Final Proof Proof
on HOmeSteadS

A new Interpretation to the term
speculation" has been given by Sec.
retary Hitchcock in connection with
the timber and stone land act OF 1878
II is held that any one who takes up
piece Of timber land, expecting at
any future time to dispose of the same
at a consideration in advance of what
the land actually cost. is 4 speculator.
within the meaning of the law Upon
this disclosure in connection with the
examination Of an applicant for the
purchase of such land, the applicant is
rejected and dismissed 4
Under this ruling OF the department.
the only persons who are permitted to
purchase these lands are those who
will swear that they own land in the
vicinity Of the timber land for the pur.
chase of which they have made appli-
cation, and that they desire the timber
for personal use. The only person who
can conscientiously swear that he
needs the timber for his own use is a
rancher so far removed from a mill or
place where lumber is sold that he
cannot buy sawed lumber. on the 9TH
.er hand, II the applicant admits that
he expects to manufacture the timber
into lumber and sell It at profit. II is
held that his purpose is speculation,
which disqualifies him as a lawful pur.
chaser, and excludes him from the
benefits Of the timber and stone land
act. A strict construction of the de-
partment's ruling makes It practically
impossible for the applicant to make
final proof on timber land for the pur.
chase OF which he has made applica.

This Dog Can Spell.


There is q south side lady who owns
q Gordon setter which she believes Is
endowed with almost human inteili-
gence, says the Chicago News. This is
not hastily formed nor unfounded
opinion, but has been developed by
years of experience Here is one OF
the many incidents from which has
sprung her faith in her dog:
One Sunday. having finished her din
ner the lady went into the drawing
room to read the paper. On a rug near
the window the setter was basking
drowsily in the sunshine. The lady's
two sons were still in the dining room
finishing the repast. and the mother
overheard something said about bones
Now, the good lady has mortal dread
that her beautiful dog will choke to
death on bone some day. so. raising
her voice, she called out. Boys, don't
give Dan any chicken bones"
spelling these two words so the dogs
attention would not be attracted. I'm
afraid he will choke"
AS she spelled chicken" the dog
raised his head; at "bones" he got up.

Did he despair? Not he.
Swiftly unwrapping his name. he ap-

Soon the signal flew from the outer

shouts of the conflict awakened the
special correspondents OF the American
newspapers.
