@ r Buckland, applicant for the
office of land court registrars objec-
tionable eo1ly ia that he has shown
himself to be over partizan. His
character is above reproach, as
shown by his reputation during his
lie of many years in California and
Hawaii. Another point in his favor
is that he has made an exhaustive
and careful study of the Torrens
land law and would probably start
in better fitted tor the duties OF the
Office than any other man now in
sight. The principal thing in his
way, however, is that he has not re-
sided here the period OF five years
required by law.

IMMIGRATION AGENT.

Only an item appears in two ap-
preparation bills carrying the "sal-
airy of Commissioue OF immigration
and Advertising Agent" but there
is no Act providing for such an Of
fce, nor az to manner OF appoint
ment, removal and tenure of such
an officer, which we think was
rightly placed under the Treasury
Department, the item failing to
carry a proviso that the incumbent
should be appointed by the Treasure
or. We are forced to admit that the
appointment lie not with the Treas
urer in this case as we'll as in this
instance, but is up to the Governor,
and the intention OF the Legislature
would thereby be frustrated. Uoder
Section 80, paragraph 2, Of the
Organic Act, it is provided that
"The manner of appointment and
removal and the tenure Of all other
officers shall be provided by law;
aud the governor may appoint or
remove anv officer whose appoint
ment or removal ia not otherwise
provided for"

Cancer Is Cured by x-Rav,


The authorities of the Boston city
hospital announce that they have cured
number of cases of cancer recently by
the use of the X-ray. They also have
found 1t a means of curing bad cases
OF eczema. Several of the cures for can.
cerous growths we're effected after the
use of the knife had failed. Among the
recent cases cited was child suffering
from eczema on the face, arms and legs,
who after few exposures to the X-ray
of about ten minutes each showed won
derful improvement and was soon after
entirely healed.
Another case was middle-aged Bos-
ton business man, who was cured after
q half dozen treatments.
Another case was that of a woman
who had cancer in her breast and who
had been operated upon only to have
the cancerous growth come out again.
She was considered an almost hopeless
case by the surgeons, but after five
treatments with the X-ray the cancer
GUS growth softened and in q few weeks
had disappeared and the woman is now
In fine health.
Still another case was that of girl
who had two cancers on her neck and
who had undergone two surgical opera
tions without avail. She was cured in
eight weeks.
