We are ever listening for thy football

For thy sweet gentle voice to call

But the joys that do not perish,
Live in memory alone.

Land Laws viii Not Be Changed
At Present Session.
DELAY WAS RATHER EXPECTED
Commission Appointed by Roosevelt TO
Decide on Needed Changes Has
No, Vet Made Final Report.

Washington, Dec. iA--The house
committee on public lands today voted
10 postpone indefinitely the bill TO re-
peal the timber and stone act. This
action means there will be no land
law reform this session, This result
was expected, especially in view Of the
fact that the public lands commission
has not yet made final report. The
bill passed on was by far the most I'm.
portant Of the land reform bills pend
ing, but when 1t was passed by the sem
ate last session there was distinct
understanding with the members Of
the house committee that II should not
be reported to tho house during the
present congress.
The house committee turned the bill
down by vote of 10 10 1, those voting
for repeal being: Chairman Lacey, Of
Iowa; Miller Of Kansas, Needham Of
California and volstead of Minnesota.
In turning down this bill the commit.
tee stated that the repeal Of the timber
and sonte act would shut 81 The source
Of the greater portion of the reclama-
tion fund, and would seriously handi-
cap irrigation work begun by the gov
ernment. Furthermore, IL was said
that the repeal of this law would be Of
immeasurable benefit 10 railroad COM
panies and other large holders Of forest
reserve lands, as il would cause con-
siderable rise in the value OF scrip,
which would bc the only remaining
way OF getting large tracts OF govern
ment timber land. There WAS, more
over, general belief that the timber
and stone act, II properly administered,
Is not bad law.

No News of Missing Attache.

Paris, Dec. 1.-THE foreign office
has not received any information which
it considers creditable concerning the
disappearance of Lieutenant Decuiver-
vile, the French naval attache at Port
Arthur. The statement was brought
out by sensational London papers to
the effect that the officials here had
been advised that japanese torpedo
boats deliberately sunk junk on board
of which were the French and German
naval attaches. The officials point out
that the $4,000 reward for news of its
missing attache is still unclaimed.
