LAND CASE DECISION.
Recommendation That Entry Of Mrs.

Recommendation That Entry Of Mrs.
Mccauley be Cancelled.
Register Edward Brassey and Re-
ceiver J.. w. Eldridge, of the local
land office. have rendered a decision
In the contest case of Lawrence p.
Lynch against Julia E. McCauley, in
vOlving desert land entry No. 14O6.
1t appears that in october, 1900,
Mrs. McCauley filed a desert land en-
try upon the west half of the north
west quarter, northeast quarter of the
northwest quarter, section q, township
IA north of range 90 east. On April
5. 1904, Lawrence P. Lynch filed an
affidavit protesting final proof, and
alleging that claimant had failed to
the land is unfenced and that only one
acre of it had been broken. all the
work done not exceeding IS.
On April 7th Lynch filed an affi-
davit of contest setting out these al
legged facts, and on October goth last
filed another affidavit declaring that
all the annual proofs filed were false
and fraudulent.
The decision reviews at some length
the testimony given at the hearing.
The evidence shows that the fence
constructed by the claimant, Mrs. Nc
Cauley, was built for the purpose of
fencing government land and was
therefore an illegal fence, from which
claimant could obtain no benefit un-
der the law.
In recommending that her entry be
cancelled, the register and receiver
| say, in conclusion:
But if, by any stretch of the i'm.
| agination. any part of this fence could
be considered to be of benefit to the
land in contest, the fact that during
the last year a number of homestead
entries have been filed within this en-
closure, and between the land in con
test and any fence surrounding it,
among them homestead entry 1914
April I. 1904, Joining it on the south
and east; homestead entry 3434, April
16, 1904, one quarter of mile on
the east, now separates it from the
fence on the south and east.
I'VE are of the opinion that the
fence testified to in no way pertains
to the reclamation of the land in con
test, and admitting the highest esti
mate of the value of the work per

THE ELECTION OF CARTER.

After nearly week of ballOting
for a United States senator, during
which there was only the friendliest
feeling for all candidates for the hon.
or, Hon. Thos. H. Carter was elected
on Monday for term of six years.
This result was anticipated from
the first. Mr.. Carter was the logical
candidate of his party for the place,
and there was very little opposition
of an aggressive character to his cleo.
ton; there was no man upon whom
the small opposition could unite with
any hope of success. While many Re-
publicans felt kindly toward ex-Sena-
tor Mantle and still entertain that
feeling. it was the general opinion
among the great majority of Republi-
can legislators that this was not his
turn to be honored. Both Mr.. Mantle
and Mr.. Carter did hard and valiant
work in the recent campaign for the
success of the party, and it must be
conceded that Mr.. Carter was the
stronger in the counties which re-
turned large Republican majorities
for the national, state and legislative
tickets. In fact the result was, in a
large degree, an Endorsement of Mr..
Carriers candidacy for the senate, his
ambition being known to the majority
of the voters of the state.
In the election of Mr.. Carter, there
fore, the Republicans of the legisla-
ture have but given expression to the
will and wishes of the great majority
of the Republicans of the state.
1t is not necessary to here mention
the political upheaval or factional
differences that temporarily termi-
mated Mr.. Carriers senatorial career.
1t is enough to know that the state
gained nothing and lost considerable
by the party division which gave us
Democratic representation in the fed
eral senate, and which has been an.
tagonistic to the administration at
Washington ever since.
Hon. Thomas H. Carter has held
many positions of honor and trust in
the federal service and always with
conspicuous ability and devotion to
his official duties. AS delegate in
congress from this state he was alert
and active in it's interests, as com.

and as federal senator from Mon

worth and who will rejoice at his re.
turn after an absence of four years.

Zion Is Suffering.

For the first time in the history of

Meat has been unobtainable for a

of the Zionites are forced to go to

The fact is that the Zion treasury is

flour are on the side track, but have
not been paid for, and cannot be used
by the starving people. The popula'

Interesting Letter From
New York City

New York. April 5.-The long
rise in the price of securities and the
maintenance of the high level that
has been reached here resulted in the
usual futile but interesting guesses
as to the winners by the upward
movement. Investment holders and
some small spectators, of course,
have made great gains by the advance
in stocks, but Wall street has time
only just now to gossip about the
operations of the larger lights of fl
nance. According to current talk in
the street, William Rockefeller is the
largest of the winners in the gambling
of the past few months. About Is
months ago when Union Pacific
was selling for about $40, Mr.. Rookie
feller is known to have purchased at
least 100. 900 shares of this stock. Mr..
Rockefeller has disposed of little or
no part of these holdings, and mean
while this stock has advanced so
points in value. In addition to his
holdings in Union Pacific, Mr.. Rookie
feller is known to have bought large
blocks of other securities that are
steadily on the advance. His winnings
in the present bull market are esti-
mated conservatively at $15.000,000.
Charles NJ. Schwab, former head OF
the steel trust, who figured promi-
nently in the troubles that attended
this combine last year, is said to have
made 1000. 900 in the last IL months.
1t is known that Mr.. Schwab purchas-
ed heavily of United States steel
while E. H. Hartman is said to have
made 100000 by incidental dealings
in Union Pacific.
The individual fortunes which have
been made or enhanced are legion
while brokers have grown rich from
commissions alone. Fortunately, oil
unfortunately. there has been M
great public speculation. 1t is the
rich men principally who have profit
ed by the advance in securities ant
professional Wall street expects then
a protracted rise.
For Catholic Church's Support.
The Catholic church in this coun
try contributed last year in privat,
contributions and Peters pence" (
trifle more than 100000 to the sup
port of the church's expenses, and a

amount by several hundred thousant
for 1905. This is the answer thu

that Charles w. Anderson, the negro
lectorship for the Second New York
district, will receive when he takes
up his new duties. Prejudice against
the negro is very strong in New
York. No theaters first-class hotel
or restaurant will accept negro pa
tronage. Two cases resulting from
such discrimination are pending in
the courts now. The negro is no
nearer recognition in New York as
social equal than he is in a Southern
city.
As to Anderson, his enemies are
digging up unpleasant incident in his
record, and it is declared in certain
quarters that a fight that threatens
to assume the proportions of that
made against President Roosevelts
famous Crum appointment, is to be
waged by local republicans against
the appointment, but there is a ques-
tion as to whether the opposition will
develop openly. Officials of the in
ternal revenue office say that he will
be warmly welcomed by his staff, the
members of which remember him as
a competent officer during his four
years service with them as gauger.
Strikers Pay for Strike.
Some one has figured out that the
Peterborough company will make
money out of the recent strike. The
cost of the strike on the road will be
borne by the strikers themselves.
Each striker that comes back to work
does so as a new man and is put to
work at the lowest rate on the slid
ing scale of wages. no matter what
pay he may have been getting when
the strike was declared.
Motormen for instance, who, after
a years service, were paid $3.50 q
day, are taken back at SO day, the
wage at which they started. There
; are about 900 motormen employed by
the company, and of these about 60C
have been at work long enough &c
get the $3.50 rate. They now &c
back to work at SO, and the company
will therefore save 5000 day, with
out counting the saving on motormer
who received 1925. 1t will be 81,
months before these men are ad
vanced to the 1926 rate, and, in tha'
time, for the motormen alone. thu
= company will save at least $4,000.
