Land Law Revision Report.

The commission appointed by the
President on October %, 1903. consist
ing of w. A. Richards, commissioner
of the general land Office, Clifford Pin
chot, chief forester of the Department
of Agriculture and f. II. Newell. chief
engineer of the reclamation service, to
make suggestions regarding revision
of the laws relating to public lanads,
has made to the President partial
report which was sent to Congress
to-day 1t recommends the repeal of
the Timber and stone act and the sub
stitution of suitable provisions for SELL
ing, after appraisal the timber on pub
lie lands that Is needed in large or
small quantities for industrial purposes.
The committee also recommended the
repeal of the law permitting assign
ment of entries under the desert land
law, and urges the importance of
more careful administration of law. es-
pecially to those provisions relating to
obtaining an adequate permanent wat
er supply. 1t advocates the restricting
of the Communication clause of the
homestead entry, where such entries
are located within forest reserves or
where the land is chiefly valuable for
timber.
1t suggests the outlines for law per-
mitting homestead entries upon agri-
cultural land within forest reserves and
the survey and description of such agri-
cultural lands by metes and bounds
rather than by the regular system. thus
permitting the agricultural lands to be
selected along the valleys and to en-
brace the good tillable land without
taking in extensive tracts of side hill
The recommendation also is made
that when lands are restored to entry
after temporary segregation ample
time should be allowed homesteaders
to exercise their rights, giving them
preference over persons who may wish
to select the land by the use of scrip
or other form of entry.

puIIest Stock Market Known.

New York, March 13.-The stagna-
ton in the stock market has been al
most complete. Thursdays transac-
tions fell to the lowest level in many
years. 1t is far cry from the 3202,-
100 shares of stock sold on the New
York Exchange April 30, 1901, to the
1880 shares sold Thursday of last
week. 1t is a striking showing of the
yicissitudes in the world of speculation,
and might serve by the rule of three"
to measure the conditions in stock eI-
change circles then and now.
The market is absolutely. unrespor~
sive to news developments. whether
favorable or unfavorable, and lies inert,
to the despair of all who look to busi-
ness in stocks and bonds for their
profit. At the full commission of one
eighth of one point allowed by the
rules of the Stock Exchange. Thurs
days sales of $1,000 shares would yield
about S1.825. allowing the commission
both to the buyer and the seller. The

Bulls used in Korea.

The pride of Korea is in the splen-
did bulls, which stand from thirteen
to fourteen and a half hands high, and
are patient and glossy beyond com
pare. They are shod as carefully as
horses and carry their heavy loads
safely though slowly. The streets of
seoul and other cities are blockaded
by these fine animals. and over all the
winding roads of the peninsula they
are plodding with the produce and the
few manufactures Of the nation.

The writer to the Lancet says that
the case Of the ships surgeon is stated
with accuracy in the above sentences,
and adds that ships surgeons are of
two kinds; (ll those who after they
have qualified take such position
either for health or for pleasure, and
(2l those who elect to make sea life a
permanency.
The pay of the ships doctor varies
from $50 to $50 n month, This Is for
duties TO officers and crew. As re.
CARDS passengers in relation To the
surgeon, the following groups will In.
clude all; II) the passenger who takes
the initiative by remunerating the
surgeon, perhaps handsomely. for any
services rendered; (2l the passen.

travelling for the first time does not

ly the question OF the ships surgeons
fees should be particularly interesting
on this side Ct the water, II Is distinct
ly obvious that If the ships doctor had
to depend solely ON his emoluments
as such, his lot would be but sorry
one A condition Of affairs of this
character would recoil on the heads Of
the passengers, for no able man would
be found to fiji the position, 1t Is
therefore manifestly right and just
that the ships doctor should be paid
for his services to passengers on
board ship In the same manner aud at
similar rates of remuneration as he
would expect to receive on shore The
question of collecting the bills Is an.
other difficult one. II has been sug.
gested that the bill should not be sent
in the surgeons name but In the com.
pany's name. One thing, however, Is
plain that the ships doctor should be
paid by the passengers, and those who
either ignorantly or wilfully evadc so
doing should be informed Of the true
, facts of the case.
