Ian COMMISSIONERS REPORT.
Work Done I'm Unraveling Fraud
~Cases-FOrest end Water Reserves.

IA -
WASHINGTON, Nov. The annual re-
port of w. A. Richards, commissio ne- of
the general land office, which was made
public to-day, says that there was, in the
past year, q large increase in the total
number of supposedly fraudulent .anI en-
tries over the preceding year. He attributes
their discovery largely to an order of the
secretary of the interior. dated Nov 9,
1902, directing the investigation Of all
entities made under the timber and stone
act in the States of California, Oregon and
Washington. Under this order alone 1e.eC0
entries have heen suspended and there arc
now fifteen special agents of the land office
In that field engaged in ferreting out the
fraudulent entries.
Commissioner Richards also states that
during the year there were reported 125
unlawful Enclosures of public land, cover
ing an area OF 2,eO5, 800 acres. Sevcnty-nine
of these Enclosures nave been removed and
proceedings are pending to compel the re-
moval of the remaining number. He says,
however, that the total number here men,
toned is only a fraction of the Enclosures
maintained in violation of the law. the spe-
cial agents having found 1t impossible TO
give attention TO many others because of
the order for a SPECIAL investigation of the
entries under the timber and stone act.
Complaint is made of the operation of
the act OF March IL. 1902. 10 facilitate entries.
Abiding TO this law the commissioner SAYS:
1.-THE privileges gained by the act have
been greatly abused, particularly by United
States commissioners who have often been
parties TO Wholesale frauds in connection
and entry papers have been prepared In the
names OF fictitious entrymen, and a variety

OF other ways have been devised by these
officers to assist parties to evade ccmpii-
ance with the requirements OF the Jaw.
The report makes a strong plea Tor d
larger force Of special agents.
Speaking of the forest lien land selecuons
the commissioner says there were 5.50f OF
them pending on the first of last July ana
they involved an approximate area OF
1,263, 136 acres. He recommends a cnenge
in the law permitting ar exchange or pat
ent lands within the reservation for unpat-
ented land on the outside.
Mr.. Richards also recommends the trans
fer of the control OF the forest reserves 10
the Department OF Agriculture. There are
at present ifty-three reserves, covering an
area of 60, 354, 965 acres. The report con-
tinues: 1T is undoubtedly q matter OF
first Importance that the reserves thus FAR
established should be supplemented by such
additional ones as are needed to form a
comprehensive series, such as will insure
full protection to water and timber sup
Pacific coast regions. AS yet neither OF
the two graf ranges of these regions has
sufficient chain of reserves protecting its
entire length"
The report shows a marked increase in
the business of the office over 1902. the total
receipts being 81. Oh. 743, an increase of 81
49,, SIC. This increase over 1902 is greater,
il is stated. than the total receipts for the
| year 1895. The total area of public lands
appropriated during the year was 22,S24.29
| acres, an increase of 1886. 764 acres over the
! preceding year. About half the area en-
tered was entered under the homestead
law. The office is about twelve months be-
hind with it's work.

QUARREL OF TWO UNIONS
MAY CAUSE A STRIKE IN ST. LOUIS
WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS.
Steam Filters Demand hat They BE
err-Director Taylor's Statement

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 1.-Dissatisfaction that
has been brewing for some time past be-
tween labor unions may eliminate to-mor-
work at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
grounds.
The trouble exists between the Plumbers
Union and the Steamfitters Union, and the
point Of contention is the work of piping, the
cascade. The plumbers are now engaged
on this work and the sceamfitters insist
that the plumbers be ordered to cease and
the steam filters be permitted to complete
the work. So bitter has grown the conten-
ton that the steamfitters declare that un-
less this transfer of working forces is made
by tomorrow noon they viii walk out, and
in this they are backed by the Building
Trades Council, which says the strike of
the steamfitters will be augmented by the
calling out of all labor unions employed on
the grounds.
Director Of Works Isaac S. Taylor made
the following statement OF the situation TO
the Associated Press tonight:
THE plumbers and steamfitters are at
loggerheads over the work of piping the
cascade. There is absolutely no other
trouble. The men employed at the fair
grounds are all union men, the wages are
satisfactory in every department and
everything is running satisfactorily gen.
orally, excepting that the steamhtters'
Union demands that the Plumbers Union
be taken from the cascade work and the
work done by the steamftters. The Build
ing Trades Council backs W the Steam
filters Union and threatens TO call a gen.
eral strike of carpenters, plasterers. Join
ers and all other unions of men employed,
unless the steamftters are given the cas-
cade work by tomorrow noon. The trouble
has been brewing for some time. The
plumber declare the work belongs to them
and IL taken from them they will call a
strike. So you see the whole trouble is
simply between these unions over the per-
Torrance of a certain class of work.
Every effort will be made 10 adjust mat
tiers tomorrow morning and L feel hopeful
that a settlement can be reached and a
strike averted."

How shoes should Fit.
Boston Journal.

bOStOn JOuIlll.
Pretty feet are always comfortable feet.
They are feet that seem TO lit their sur
rounuings, their shoes neither bag nor
pinch.
Pretty feet are regular looking feet, not
feet that bunch out here and there, and
pretty feet invariably support their owner
nicely so that she neither minces nor
strides.
There are great. fiat sensible shoes that
injure the feet. They are not pretty for
the reason that they do not arch in the in
step, and, therefore. they tire the sole of
the foot in walking. There are also fiat
shoes that are made without heels, a sort
OF reformed shoe. which is neither pretty
nor sensible and which makes the calf of
the leg hurt and causes the foot to spread.
The correct shoe should be as long and
as slender as possible. This holds the ten
der bones at the side of the foot together
and prevents them from giving out ar the
most important places. Shoes that are too
wide will lead to all sorts of rheumatic
pains and will make the feet ache without
protecting the foot as il should be pro-
tected.
Short shoes are an abomination. and the
worst Of them Is that they not only injure
the foot. but they cause II permanent trou-
BILE as well. Short shoes are responsible for
buniou joints, and in all the world there is
nothing so bad as the joint hat protrudes.

Skeleton of a Mammoth.

Vim. NJ. Alberti, of New York, who is interested in mining on Pen ny creek, north of Nome, is coming to Alaska to have excavated the remains of an Eiephas pal migen- jus, or a species of the giant man. moth many thousands of years ex- tinct. He is commissioned to pre- pare the skeleton for shipment by the Smithsonian institution, at Washington.
 The frame of this, the largest of the known mamoths which once roamed at will in North America and other parts of the world, lies embedded in gravel bank on the Hanum river, tributary of the Imnetchuck river, not far from Nome. It was discovered last year by some miners, and reported to Mir. Alberti. While East, dur ing the winter, he reported the find to the Smithsonian institution, and received his commission to have the skeleton shipped out, with the view of putting the members to- gether and exhibiting the whole at the St. Louis fair.
 This is the first specimen of the Elephas pal migenius ever found in America. Some years ago there was a perfect specimen found in Russia. In life it had been over- taken in a snowstorm and was frozen stiff. For thousands of years it remained in the ice, until a change in the climatic conditions brought about a thaw and it was exposed. This is the only who'e one that has ever beeI found in the world.
