GOVERNMENT SUFFERS HEAVY
LOSSES THROUGH LAND FRAUDS

Evidence Of frauds has accumulated
during the administration OF Commits
sioner Richards and there has been a
general cleaning out OF the depart
ment.
At least two United States senators
are reported to be involved In the dis.
closures made, although the officials
OF the general land ofiice are reticent
regarding their Identities.
One OF the recent Indictments was
returned In Duluth against the firm OF
Swallow 4 Hopkins. in which a son,in'
law OF Senator clapp OF Minnesota is
alleged to have been involved.
An effort was made nj the last ses-
sion OF Congress to repeal the timber
and mineral act. but II failed, owing to
the opposition Of coteries OF members
on both sides OF Congress, who osten-
sibly based their opposition on the
ground that II would deprive the gov
ernment of valuable sources of rev.
enue with which to promote irriga.
tion, as the proceeds from public land
sales are devoted to that purpose.
Under the timber and mineral land
act Of 1878 valuable lands bearing hne
timber and minerals are sold for 81. 80
an acre and each applicant Is permit
ted to buy 100 acres. with the right to

values In the West. and the develop.
