HARD FOR CITY FARMERS
Order of Land Office Causes Them
CONSERVATION.

Order of Land Office Causes Them
CONSERVATION.
Walla Walla, Feb. 1O.-Still more
CONSERVATION among homesteaders with
only constructive residence has been
caused by orders received at the Walla
Walla land Office from the department
of the interior, which will make it al
most impossible for claimant making
final proof before an officer other than
the register and receiver of the land
office to get his case through without
investigation from a special agent.
1t is difficult to grasp at first the real
significance of this order, but it virtu-
ally means that while the special agent
investigated only on complaint before,
he will now investigate whenever final
proof is to be made outside the land
Office. The former condition of affairs
caused enough anxiety to entrymen;
the new eliminates the last chance for
a man to get quarter section of I'm
Gle Sans domain without making
real, live farmer of himself, with resi-
dence on the land.
The instructions are in the shape of
two letters-one to special agents and
the other to registers and receivers
Hitherto these representatives of the
department of the interior have held
their own way to great extent; now
they are to work in close connection.
Whenever homesteader gives notice
of intention to make final proof before
a county clerk or United States land
commissioner, the land Office is to
send a copy of the notice to the special
agent, who must be present at the
proof and institute a rigid cross-exam-
ination, unless he knows from person
al knowledge that the claim is a valid
one.
The other kind-cases where the
entryman makes final proof before the
register and receiver-is covered by a
lengthy letter to those officials, who
are ordered to conduct the most rigid
examination possible, sending for the
special agent to make investigation in
case Of doubt, and holding up the claim
until the special agent can get TO it.
These orders apply all over the coun-
try. Hundreds of homesteaders in the
Walla Walla land district are affected.
These are such as 'reside on" the land
but live somewhere else except at in
tervals when they go out to the land
for day or a week.

RAILWAYS OPPOSE
TRY TO BLOCK WAGON ROAD
PLAN FOR ALASKA.
Alaska Central and Other Railroad
Agents In Washington Arguing
Against Government Aid--Judge
Wickersham Before Territorial
Committee.

Washington, Feb. 9.-The clash has
occurred between the promoters OF sew
eral railway projects in Alaska and
the advocates of government wagon
roads. The fight has been carried in
to the committees ON territories in the
two houses, and there is some danger
that the wagon road bill now pending
will fail because the people of Alaska
are not agreed as to the kind of trans
portation facilities that should be
afforded.
John E. Ballaine, the financial agent
of the proposed Alaska Central rail
way. has arrived in Washington and
has had talk with Senator Nelson,
saying that the wagon road project
was an unwise move, as it was admit
ted the wagon roads would simply be
the forerunners of railways, and the
construction of one railway in Alaska
was already assured.
The advocates of two other railway
projects are also fighting the wagon
road bill, and some Alaskans who are
interested in no particular scheme are
urging government aid for railways.
Judge Wickersham, of the Third ju-
dicial district of Alaska, appeared be-
fore the house committee on territories
and answered questions for an hour
and half. He will appear before the
committee again, chiefly for the pur-
pose of giving his views about the pro-
posed means of transportation in the
territory.
He spoke strongly in favor Of the
delegate bill, but said there ought to
be three delegates instead of one, in
order that the three radically different
SECTIONS of the territory might be adj
equately represented. He said the peo-
pie would never be satisfied to have a
delegate appointed-he must be elected
by the people.
Members of the committee asked
Judge Wickersham what scheme of re-
lief he would recommend for Alaska
Indians, and he replied that the best
way to help them was to let them alone
Senator Nelson made favorable re-
port from the senate committee on ter
ritories on the bill appropriating $780,
900 for a wagon road from Valdez to
Eagle.

GET INFORMATION.
President Sends Panama Cores
pOndence to Senate.

pOndence to Senate.
Washington, Feb. THE president
has sent to the senate mass of CORES
pondence in response to Senator Cor
mans resolution calling for dates and
circumstances under which the United
States used military forces in the inter-
nal affairs Of New Granada or Colon
bia, and whether such uses of military
forces were ON the initiative of the
United States or by request Of New
Granada or Colombia in consequence
of any official representation of either.
The resolution also called for copies
of the orders by the navy department
relating to such use Of military forces.
The circumstances under which forces
were landed are given by the president
in detail, but the orders by the war
and navy departments concerning the
workinsg of such departments and
which will constitute part of the re-
cords of the Office of military and ma
val intelligence are withheld on the
ground that the disclosures Of such
confidential matters would be incom-
patible with the public interest.
AS preface to the correspondence
Acting Secretary of State Loomis
writes letter in which he says all the
correspondence on record in the dpeart-
ment of state is given and that from
this it appears United States forces
have been landed ON the isthmus of
Panama ten times from October, 1865,
to September, 1902, the last mentioned
landing being the only one made with
out actual request from the govern
ment of the ishtmus.
