Would Repeal Land Laws.

Senator Gibson of Montana, leader OF
the movement in Congress for the repeal
public land acts, was before the public
land commission and urged repeal of
the desert land, timber and stone and
homestead Communication acts.
He called attention to the immense
these laws. a large portion of which is,
going into the hands of corporations
and spectators, he said
Referring to the argument being
made that repeal of the land laws
would prevent further accumulation OF
funds for government irrigation works.
he said he would be pleased to see ir-
rigation works stopped rather than see
bad land laws retained on the statute
books.
He said the irrigation fund contains
S16,000,00O and is revolving or perpet-
ual, as money expended must be re-
turned by the beneficiaries under gov
ernment irrigation enterprises. Even
should the source of further increase be
cut off by land law repeal, the amount
would be increased to a considerable
extent by sales of timber, and while
the fund might be crippled, 1t would
not be prostrated.
Senator Gibson said he approved the
Quarles bill, which proposes repeal OF
all land laws excepting the homestead.
Representative Mondell also appeared
before the committee and called atten-
ton to the fact that Canada, through
liberal land laws, is attracting large
numbers of settlers from this country
across the line into British Columbia.
More generous land laws are needed in
this country to check this drain upon
our farming communities.
The land board will hold no further
meetings until after the return of its
members upon the live stock conven-
tions at Portland, Oregon, January 18th
to 18th, and will make no recommends
tions to Congress until that time.
Gilpin observer., 1904-01-07

Senator Hale, chairman Of the COM
mittee on naval affairs. says that 1t is
the intention to make provision for an
other liberal addition to the navy dur
ing the present session of Congress.
He says that when the additions al
ready authorized are completed the
United States will have a more pow
erful navy than any other nation ex-
cept Great Britain.
The condition Of Secretary Hay re-
mains unchanged. Contrary to the ex-
pectation of his physician, the secre-
tary's bronchial trouble has not yield
ed to treatment and Mr.. Hay will
probably leave early in January for
Thomasville, Georgia. The mild cli-
mate has helped the secretary before
and 1t is hoped may again prove an ef-
fective cure.
In view Of the fact that many thou
sands OF people in all parts Of the
country are interested in the result OF
q guessing contest as to the number OF
cigars on which tax was paid In Mo-
vember. the internal revenue bureau
asks that public announcement be
made Of the number of cigars on
which tax was paid at 50 per thousand
157.470.
Senator Burrows. chairman of the
Senate committee on privileges and
elections, which Is conducting the in
vestigation OF the charges against Sem
ator Reed Smoot OF Utah. Is reported
to have said that the committee would
probably meet January 9th for the con-
tinuation Of the inquiry. While Sena''
tor Burrows has received NO notifica +.
tion from Senator Smoot he thinks it
probable that the reply Of the latter
to the charges against him will be
ready BY the time m"ntioned.

ROOT SCORES PARKER.
Last Big Republican Mass Meeting in
New York

The last large republican meeting of the
present campaign in New York was held
last night at Durlands Riding Academy
The fact that Elihu Root was to be the prin-
cipal speaker filed the hall and hundreds
were unable to gain entrance The pres
ence of Gov. Odell and Lieut.. Gov. Higgins
also helped to swell the audience. The other
speak ers were former Lieut.. Gov. Timothy
Woodruff and Walter NJ. Chandler and
Frank B. Vrooman of California. Mr..
Root said, in part
I'm these last days of the campaign the
democratic candidate for the presidency
has abandoned the course of conduct which
he had marked out for himself, has left
the dignified retirement of his home and
taken the stump in his own behalf. The
purpose which he had formed to observe
the rule of propriety customary to candi-
dates for the highest office in our land had
been officially declared 1t seemed to be as
frrevocably fixed in his mind as the gold
standard after his nomination. 1t has been
completely abandoned, and these last days
have seen the candidate rushing from hall
to hall in the vortex of a whirlwind cam
paign.
THE change of method has been paral-
leled by a change in the substance and mat
ter of the candidates views. He has not
only departed from the dignifed course
which he laid out for himself in conduct
he has departed from the sober and moder-
ate expressions which brought him upon
many points into substantial accord with
the republican platform and republican
prinCipleS."
