LATEST NEWS FROM WASHINGTON
Land Law Decisions.

In the Senate MIR. Gibson spoke for
his bill for the repeal Iof the desert
land, the timber and stone laws and
OF the commutation clause of the home
stead law. He contended that our
remaining agricultural lands should be
held exclusively for actual settlers and
that the <fmber belonging to the ma
tion should be properly cared for, and
as 1t is required, sold at its true value.
This reform can only be accom-
plished, he said. by an absolute repeal
of the desert land act, Of the commu.
tation clause of the homestead act
and Of the timber and stone act.
Mr.. Gibson argued that frauds are
made possible by all these laws. He
quoted the land decisions of the In
terror Department as showing that in
1877 as much as 34,958 acres of land
had been entered in California under
the desert land law for the benefit Of
J. B. Haggin, and" he added, Il am
informed that desert land entries for
the benefit of Mr.. Haggin and his as
sociates exceeded 100000 acres" An
other instance was given in which 49,
900 acres of land was entered In Wy
oming by residents Of eastern states.
who Immediately turned the land over
to land company without having even
been on 1t.
Senator Gibson denied that the re-
peal of these laws would seriously
cripple the irrigation fund. since it
now aggregates $30,O00000. including
land filings to date, and will be fur
ther increased by sales of coal lands,
timber, etc.
The bill was allowed to lie on the
table until April 5th, in order to per
nit further discussion.

Peculiarities of Cancer.

The popularity of cancer among dis
eases is that it consists in the rebellion
and malignant behavior of certain
parts of the body itself. not in the at
tacks of foreign enemies. Cancer, in
fact, is state OF civil war in the body,

breaks of murderous fury on the part
of licentious revolutionists at one or
more localities.

One Lone Woman in the District of Columbia Is
CaSSed as Agricultural Worker.

In an Agricultural Department bulle-
tin by James II. Blodgett on THE Wages
of Farm Labor i'm the United States" it
is shown i'm the tables of statistics that
not one woman i'm the District of Co
lumhia hires herself out as farm la
borer. and only one lone woman in the
District is classed as a farm laborer
member Of the family" In the Dis

4,4lo91O, OF whom 2,366,fi9 are members
Of the family" that is, sons and daugh-
ters who help to work the old home
stead or help Uncle Dan with the
craps. " and 2,O44. 761 are hired laborers
a surprisingly large number of women
are classed as hired farm help The to-
tai number is 220.O4S. Naturally. the
greater number of these are in the
South. where the negro women are an
important factor in the gathering of
cotton, corn, and other crops There
were Al .055 women cIassed as farm la
borers members of the family" and
the vast majority of these were also
found in the South, where negro women
taking an active part in the work in the
field is an ordinary sight.
South Carolina leads in the number of
women hired laborers, with 35.5S1, and
Alabama is next, with 340S3. Then

Farm wages have almost uniformly
shown an upward tendency since 1899
and i'm many States they are now higher
than they have been since the civil war
The average farm wages for the entire
country for 1902 as far as could be
learned, were $22.14 per month, without
board. as opposed to S2023 in 1899. Where
board was furnished by the employer
the rate of increase was still higher. In
1902 the average monthly wages of a
farm hand who lived with his employer
were $500, and in 1899 were Sl4O7.
The highest monthly wages with
board were paid in Nevada, S34.14: Mon
