 Homestead Entries In Alaska.
 BY T. J. DoSoHoE. ATTORNEY.
 Homestead entries of public lands in AL aska may be made under the provisions of an act of Congress approved March 8, 1903, extending the homestead laws and prOvid- ing for right of way for railroads in the District of Alaska.
 This act provides that . citizen of the United States may, under the provisions of the homestead laws of the United States, not in conflict with the provisions of this act, enter 32O acres of the unoccupied and unapprOpriated non-mineral public lands of Alaska, that no entry shall be allowed extending more than one hundred and sixty rods along the shore of any navigable water. If any of the land settled upon is unsurveyed, it must be located in rectang- ular form not more than one mile in length and located by north and south lines run according to the true meridian and the To- cation so made shall be marked upon the ground by permanent monuments at each of the four corners thereof, so that the boundaries may be readily traced. The record of said location shall within ninety days from the date of settlement be filed for record in the recording district in which the land is situated. Said record shall contain the name of the settler, the date of settlement and such description of the land by reference to some natural object as will identify the same.
 If at the expiration of the time required by law the public surveys have not been extended over the land located, the locator may secure patent for the same by procur- ing at his own expense survey of the land which must be made by deputy. surveyor. When the survey is approved the sur veyor general, the same procedure is fol- lowed as in soldiers additional. certified tights, in addition to which the settler must furnish the required proof of residence and cultivation. Patent may be obtained with out thepayment of any purchase price or other charges except the ordinary office fees and commissions of the register and re- ceiver. Should the settler so desire, he may commute under section 2301, Revised Statutes, one hundred and sixty acres of his entry by paying in addition to the fees and commissions as in final homesteads, the price of one dollar and quarter per acre.

ARBITRATION SETTLES DISPUTE
Steel Trust Came Near Having Split
With Large Producer.

New York. NOV. 2e.--A threatened
split In the rail- pool caused by differ
ences between the United States steel
corporation and the Lackawanna steel
company OF Buffalo has been settled
by arbitration, according to the Her.
aid. After each interest had en-
deayored to arrange the dispute II is
said mutual agreement was made
for adjudication by an arbitrator
named by both companies. II Ia said
that the umpire has just handed down
his decision practically favorlng the
steel corporation and the other mem
bers Of the steel rail- pool.
The question at issue between the
Lackawanna steel company and the
other. makers OF rails Is understood
10 have been In relation 10 the ton
mage to which the Lackawanna COM
pany believed itself entitled. The
Lackawanna demanded II and half
per cent OF the entire tonnage OF the
company. The other manufacturers
after conferences TO effect compro-
mise, finally agreed TO allow tonnage
OF 15 per cent to the Lackawanna.
The latter stood firm in Its demand
pointing out that Its rail- mill capac-
ity was practically 100000 tons year
or about 20 per cent Of the country's
output and that the management had
gone to the extreme limit IN lowering
their tonnage demands to 17h per
cent II was at this stage that arr
bitration was suggested and both
sides were agreeable. The Herald
claims semi -oificIal authority for the
statement that the umpire decided to
allot the Lackawanna company i5 per
cent and that both sides were agree
able TO the decision.

For the past ten days he has been

of failing eyesight to give up the work.
He has always been a very vigorous
man, and even though deprived of his
sight for the past seven or eight years,
he has never allowed his work on his

ALDERMAN's ACCEPTANCE
of the Presidency of the University
of Virginia.

of virginia.
Richmond, Va, July 1.-THE follow
ing letter. dated New York, July Z, has
been received by Charles P. Jones, rec
tor of the University of Virginia, from
DR.. Edwin A. Alderman:
MY. dear Mr.. Jones: On Tuesday,
June IA, l had the honor to receive
your telegram announcing my election
as president of the University of Vir-
ginia. On yesterday, l sent you by
telegram my formal acceptance of that
great honor and trust.
1T seems to me proper that l
should more formally and by letter ac-
quaint you of my decision. l have
spent the three weeks intervening be-
tween the action of the board of Wis
itors and my decision in an earnest eff
fort to discover the right thing to do
in this great matter. AS you well
known, l did not seek this high office
and this great responsibility, for my
mind and heart were full of problems
of Tulane University of Louisiana, an
institution dear to me, and full of pow
er for the future in our national life.
ut cost me much suffering to sever
my relations with that university and
with the broad minded and generous
hearted people who sustain it, but
have come to you because the call
seemed to me a clear call of duty and
responsibility which 1 could not put
aside.
This is no moment for mere pro-
testation. l shall give to the UniYer-
sity of Virginia whatever of strength
1 have of mind or body or spirit. 1
shall study it's past with reverence and
l shall seek to build about it for the
future in the spirit of a man who has
something precious entrusted to his
Keeping.
"Of my own self I can do very little
and that little ill, but if the strength
of every man and woman who loves
the university and understand it's
meaning to American life, may be re-
lied upon, then, indeed, a great work
may be done.
Il shall make many mistakes with
out doubt; the college president who
avoids mistakes is the one who cum
ningly does nothing. / shall, however,
believe that the board of visitors and
the people of Virginia, to whom the
university belongs, will have the pa
thence with me if my purpose be clear
to do what l can"

FARMING OF A 0NE-LEGGED MAN.
Commuters Have View of Agricul-
turc Under Trying Conditions.

NuFC
From the New York World.
Travellers by the Harlem Railroad
have been interested this spring in
some curious gardening in the italian
settlement bordering the tracks on the
edge of the Bronx near Williamsburg.
At first the curious were attracted
by the conduct of what seemed to be
a very lazy man. He sat in a ricketty
chair on the edge of his garden-tO-be
and hoed and raked the ground as
best he could after some more active
persons had spaded it over.
Presently it was discovered that the
seemingly lazy man had but one leg,
and that his sitting posture was a
necessity of his infirmity. Then he
was more than ever an object of in
terest, and his progress was watched
by many friendly eyes.
From day to day his position in the
considerable garden that he had laid
out was changed, and he left behind
him as he went a beautifully smooth
and we'll raked surface. Sometimes he
had a little boy to help him, but he ev-
identity did most of the work.
In due time the whole area was thor
oughly worked over, and then it was
planted. A little later the crops began
appearing in neat rows.
AS the garden grew the one-legged
man appeared here and there with his
The Savannah morning news., 1904-07-12

chair and tools, hoeing manfully to
keep down the weeds. In spite of the
fact that his chair got mired and his
one foot sank deep into the mould, he
managed to triumph over the weeds,
and now there is not a cleaner or more
fiourishing garden on the BronX-side
than his.
From the railway trains one can see
nothing in his garden but the green
crops in right rows and the clean
brown earth between. His bit OF
ground, unlike that of many of his
neighbors, is high enough to escape
the floods of the Bronx, and it has a
slight slope that insures proper drain
age.
The one-legged gardener little sus-
poets how many well wishers he has
or how glad the suburban commuters
will be to see him in summer and au-
tumn gathering his fruits of his pa
tient toll.
