Hitchcock Holds Law Means What 1t
Says-May Be Amended.

Washington, May 20. - Secretary
Hitchcock, in circular issued today to
registers and receivers of local land
offices, holds that congress meant what
it said when. by the act of March 8,
1905, it absolutely repealed the lieu
land law. With the exception of own
'ers of certain lands in the San Francis
co and Grand Canyon reserves in Ari-
zona and the Santa Barbara reserve,
California, who are specifically provid-
ed for by special act, the secretary
holds that all right to make lieu selec-
tions expired March last and local
land officers are advised that they are
without authority to accept relinquish-
ments of lands within forest reserves
after that date and allow the selection
of other lands in exchange therefor
The secretary says, however, that all
lieu selections made prior to ard pend.
ing for adjudication on March 8, 1905,
may be perfected and patented and, il
in the adjudication of any selection
then pending, the same should be helG
invalid for any reason not the fault O.
the party making the same, another se
lection for like quantity Of land may
be made in lieu thereof.

LARGE FORTUNE FOR CITY.
New York S27, 100000 Richer if
Franchise ak Law Stands.

EIdiNihSS Law olduOSs
New York, May 17.-Twenty-six
million dollars will be contributed to
the tax fund of Greater New York if
the decision from the United States
Supreme court of the franchise tax law
should be favorable to the city.
In the hope of a victory for the city,
Controller Grout has Cor the last three
days had his Office busy preparing a
complete tabulation of all the taxes due
the city under the franchise law, to-
gether with interest since the law went
into effect in 1900. This is the first
tabulation made for three years, and
the totals staggered the city officials,
far SURPRISING the expectations even oi
Controller Gront.
For Manhattan alone the amount due
is ST., ,904, 700, which includes $780,.
200 interest on the unpaid taxes
From all the boroughs the total amount
due from taxes alone, without any cal
culation for interest or penalties, il
$22, ,141, 1853. To this sum there is te
be added about $3,500,000 interest
and at least another million for penal
ties which will drive the total to $27,
900, 900. These figures bring the
amounts due to June next.
As soon as the decision is rendered
the controller will take steps to collec
the money, if it be favorable to th'
city. The money will then be devoted
to redemption Of revenue bonds.

DEFENDS ARMOUR CARS.
Robbins Denies They Deal in Produce
or Get Rebates.


Washington, May 17.-William E.
Ripley, professor of economics in Harv-
ard university, was before the senate
committee on interstate commerce to-
day. He said that under existing laws
there was nothing to prevent discrim-
ination between localities and commo-
dities. He favored giving the Inter
state commerce Commission power to
fix rates.
George B. Robbins, of Chicago, pres
ident of the Armour Line company
and director of the Armour company,
explained in detail the business of re.
frigerator cars. He asserted that these
car lines were not engaged in interstate
commerce. The agitation tending to.
ward the confscation of private cars
had deferred his company from in.
creasing it's facilities.
The Armour car lines did not nov
deal in produce, he suggested, having
discontinued that phase of trade II
May, 1904, save to limited extent ir
butter, eggs and poultry. He denied
any community of interests between
the railroads and the Armour car lines
The witness denied that the cars wer,
used to secure rebates.

Governor Folk Says Law-Breaking
Leads to Anarchy.

Leads to Anarchy.
St. Louis, May 19.-Governor Folk
of Missouri, addressing the General
Baptist convention tonight, said:
missouri has an idea that means
the enforcement of law. Laws that are
not enforced add just as much to the
support of good government as sores do
to the strength of the human body.
Law breaking has become alarmingly
common. 1t is one of the greatest
dangers that confront free government
Many men obey the laws they like, but
think they have political liberty to
disobey the laws that are obnoxious te
them.
''The trust magnate looks with alb
horence on the pickpocket who violates
the larceny statute, but considers il
entirely right to break the laws against
combinations and monopolies. Tht
boodler detests the law breaking of tht
trusts but considers the law agains
bribery as an infringement on his per
sonal liberty. The dramshop keepe;
regards the law against murder as good
but the law against operating his dram
shop on Sunday, is, in his opinion
Puritanical and typrannical.
If each citizen were allowed to de
termine for himself which laws ar,
good and which laws are bad, to ignor
the laws he considered bad, the resul
would be anarchy-we would have NJ
laws at all. The only safe rule is that
if the law is on the statute books, j
must be observed.

$1,000, 900 Set Aside for Gov
efnment Irrigation Canal.
NO DFLAY IN ITS CONSTRUCTION
Last Obstacle to Project Removed by
Purchase of>Private Works
Will Cost 50, 400, 900.

Washington, May 1s. - The govern
ment is going to build the Klamath If
rigation project, which will ultimate
ly reclaim 23o, 400 acres of land in
Klamath basin, in Oregon and Cali
fornia. The project will cost 81, 400,-
900. Secretary Hitchcock today form.
ally approved the project drawn up by
the reclamation engineers, who have
been at work for the past year. He
also set apart from the reclamation
fund 81 900, 900 to be used in COM
mencing construction. There is not
enough money in the reclamation fund
at this time to pay for the entire Kla-
math project, but the money today
made available will defray all expendi-
lures that need be made Immediately.
There is no question that there will be
ample funds as they are needed.
The adoption of the klamath project
was assured when Secretary Hitchcock
accepted the offer of the klamath Canal
company to sell its canals and works to
the government for $3.50, 900, in ac-
cordance with its recent offer. There
had been considerable doubt whether
the secretary would pay this price,
since it is known that these canals can
not be utilized by the government, but
the secretary concluded it would be
cheaper to buy out this company at its
fastest figure than to enter upon a long
suit in the courts, which would con-
sumo much time as we'll as money.
Chief Engineer Newell, of the Recla-
nation service, has been instructed te
of this project. But before construc.
tion work is begun, he will complete
all purchases that have been authoriz.
ed, so there will be no further question
as to the absolute right of the govern
ment to go ahead with it's work. 1t ii
the expectation of the reclamation off
cials that the project will be built il
several units, that is to say, one storag'
system will be completed and waite
turned onto land lying under it's canal
before work is begun ON the next stor
age reservoir. The lay of the land ant
the source of water is such that thi
plan can be followed. After maxim,
the preliminary purchases, there will
be $500, 900 left for actual construction
probably enough to finish one unit.
Approximately As per cent of tn
land to be reclaimed is still vacant
The owners of the remaining 55 pc
cent have already signed agreement
and agreed to pay for their water righ
at the price fixed by the governmen
which will be 1880 per acre.

DiSCOURAGiN6 A HEN.


The propensity of some hens to sit,
in season or out, on eggs, stones door
knobs or anything that comes handy,
is one of the most grievous Affections
of the poultry keeper. In his interest
is reprinted the description of '.sura
cure' discovered by correspondent
of the Chicago Chronicle in Lesueur,
MINI.
The cure consists of a cheap watch
that ticks loudly and clearly, and is
enclosed in a white, egg-shaped case.
When hen manifests desire to sit
at the wrong time, the poultryman
gently places under her this bogus egg,
and the egg does the rest
Cheerfully it ticks away. The hen
soon begins to show signs of uneasi-
ness. She stirs the noisy egg with her
bill, thinking perhaps that it is already
time for it to hatch, and the chicken
in it wants to get out. She grows more
and more nervous as the noise keeps
on, and finally she jumps of the nest
and runs round a while, to get cool.
Generally she returns to her self
imposed duty; but things get worse and
worse with her. She wriggles about
and cackles, ruff1es her feathers and
looks wild, until at last, with a fren-
zled squawk, she abandons the nest
for good and all. The fever of incu.
baton is broken up completely.
The Lesueur poultryman declares
that he has never found hen that
could stand the strain Of the conversa-
tional egg for more than three hours.
In much less time than that, as a rule,
the hen Is ready to return to her legitt.

Christiana, Norway, May 19.-The

Oscar will resume the reins of govern
ment on June l. This is regarded as a
semi-oficial intimation, and, if it turns
out to be correct, it means probably
that King Oscar intends to sanction the
Norwegian consular bill, thus assuming
direct responsibility for an act calculat-
ed to irritate his Swedish subjects rath-
er than leave the responsibility on the

Taft. Soon after Senor Mora had q
conference with the president and Mr.
Taft, lasting some time. Senor Mors

view, but it is known that, having al
one time been connected with the as
phalt company in Caracas, he was en-
abled to throw some light on the pres
ent situation. When Mr.. Taft left the
White house he said that no determ
ination of the case had been reached
and none would be until all the fact
from both sides had been developed
He indicated this might take severa
days.
