viii Punish Land Frauds.

Washington, Dec. S.-An Official
statement was given out by the 1nte:-
ior Department to-day announcing the
governments purpose to prosecute
every guilty man in. the public land
frauds to the full extent Of the law
and regardless of position In life. The
statement follows:
"The conviction In Portland, Oregon.
yesterday OF five persons for land
frauds, which will be followed next
week by the trial OF several others In
dicted for the same offense, is but an
other step toward the consummation
OF the public policy entered upon by
the secretary of the interior when 1t
became known nearly three years ago
that frauds were being perpetrated In
connection with the public lands. to
run down and prosecute the guilty
ones to the full extent of the law with
out regard to their position In life. The
department has encountered many OBJ
stacles while engaged In this work.
but has moved steadily onward and
has had the hearty assistance and CO.
operation OF the Department Of Justice
in bringing the land criminals to JUS
tice.
"These frauds have been more far
reaching than the country has sus-
pected, and the task of unearthing
them and securing the necessary
proofs has been n difficult one. but
there has been no abatement Of the in.
tention to overcome all difficulties and
secure the conviction of the land
thieves. No one will be shielded.
whether high or low. and the work Of
prosecution will be vigorously carried
