OLD TIMES REVIVED.
Picturesque Scenes at Hiring Fair in
England.

From the London Express.
There was picturesque survival of old
times at the Michaelmas hiring fair at High
Wycombe recently.
In Buckinghamshire old customs die hard
and the fair is now as popular as ever
among agricultural laborers and farm SER
wants seeking employment.
Early in the morning the old market
place bore an animated appearance. From
various parts of Buckinghamshire Berk-
SHIRE Oxfordshire and Middlesex farm
wagons and brakes containing men and
women candidates, attired in their Sunday
clothes drove up amid a scene of hustle
that may have been strange to many. A
few of the more modern type rode bicycles.
There were youths of both sexes trying to
improve their position or their wages, and
even aged toilers of sixty strove-and with
considerable success, too-to prove that
they were more valuable as farm hands
than the more youthful of their competitors,
and worth more to other masters than their
present masters imagined.
large number continued the ancient
pra ctice of indicating their calling by wear
ing a distinctive badge or ornament in their
caps. For instance, plowmen and others
who understand horses wore little Knots OF
plaited whipcord; cowmen displayed tuftS
of hair and tenders of sheep wore punches
of wool and carried in their pockets their
records of the percentage OF lambs from
ewes under their care last season.
Masters and men bargained during most
of the morning, and as each man was en-
gagged he adorned himself with streamers OF
tricoIored ribbon. and proceeded to the
pleasure fair to spend the rest of the day
amid the swings and roundabouts.

LAND OFFICE BUSINESS.
Public Property in the Far West Sold
Too Cheaply.
From the Homemaker.

From the Homemaker.
The tremendous activity which is appar-
ent throughout the western states and ter
ritories in filing upon government land
under the various land laws is statistically
confirmed by preliminary statement which
was made by the commissioner of the gen.
eral land office, showing the land business
done by the government during the fiscal
year just ended There were 10, 742, 600
acres of public land passed into private
ownership, an increase of about 250, 600
acres over the previous year. But the cash
receipts We're over $40, SOC, 600, an enormous
incres se-about 20 per cent over 1902. This
is said to be largely due to the increase in
the purchase of timber land and the COM
mutation in homesteads. Both of these
laws are continually and shamelessly
abused
1t is generally admitted that the finest
remaining government timber land-in Ore
gon and Observation-Disclosures twenty times
the price asked per acre, is being bought
in by the big lumber companies in great
tracts, Notwithstanding that the timber law
provides that the applicant must be bona
fde purchaser and that he is buying the
land not for himself and the purpose of
transferring it to some one else. The COM
mutation clause of the homestead law is
likewise being flagrantly cd and the
result is that very large are, If land are
settlers, but in behalf of various western
interests which furnish the necessary
money to commute.
Of these cash receipts Of over $40 900 900
about three-quarters go into the arid land
reclamation fund, which now amounts to
fully SIS 100000. This is available today
for national irrigation work. The surveys
by the engineers of the geological survey
are progressing in every part of the west,
and it is probable that the next half year
will see four or five large contracts let
The rapid growth of this irrigation fund
would be a matter of congratulation were
it not for the fact that a tremendous saori-
flee of valuable government property has
been made to realize this money. What
the real value of this large acreage of
land, passed into private ownership, would
be to the nation it is difficult to say, but it
is far and away in excess of the pittance
received for tia fact acknowledged by
every student of the land and water ques-
ton in the west.
Those who are opposed to the movement.
to repeal the laws under which this mis-
appropriation of the public domain is going
on urge with much vehemence that 1t
would never do to cut off this source of
revenue to the reclamation fund. In other
words, they would convince the people that
after all the proper method is to kill the
goose that lays the golden egg.
