Don't Like Alberta.

Recent news from Alberta and the
Northwest territory is to the effect
that many Americans who removed
to these countries have sold out and
returned to Uncle Sans domain and
Others are preparing to follow suit.
It is stated that another dry season
this year would cause great exodus
FROM the farming region.
1t is reported that the boom in
agricultural lands lying between CAL
gray and Edministon has completely
collapsed and that one or two towns
that had a mushroom growth during
the boom are almost entirely depopu-
lated.
There seems no doubt about the
richness OF the soil, but the severe
cold of winter and the drouths o'
summer have disheartened the set
tiers.

LIMIT IS 800 ACRES.
New Ruling Pertaining
Land Holdings.

A ruling Of sweeping effect upon
the filing of TINT Der and stone entries
and upon the placing of scrip on
government lands has recently been
received by the local land office at
Lewiston from the general land office.
The ruling affects thousands OF acres
of scrip, and will make a radical
change in timber and stone filings.
1t is held that under the act Of
August 10, 1890, any person who
wishes to locate any government land,
whether by homestead, timber and
stone or by scrip entry, must make
AFFIDAVIT that the amount Of land up
on which he wishes to file, together
with what he then owns, whether
acquired by purchase or otherwise,
will not make his total holdings more
than $50 acres.
Heretofore the rule has been that
an applicant for homestead entry had
to make an aff1dauit that his holdings
would not be more than $50 acres
but an applicant for timber and
stone entry was permitted to make
f, his filing regardless of the amount o.
land he then possessed. Scrip W.!
| received also without the holder be
ing asked as to his holdings, but from
the new ruling it seems that ever
timber and stone applicants ant
scrip holders must have such an afii-
davit.

The full significance OF Germany's
action in beginning to fortify Kiao-
chou Bay is only appreciated when It
is recalled that already Germany has
naval bases to the east and northy
east OF the Philippines, in the CaroT
line and Ladrone islands while Kiaos
chou Bay willafford one more in 4 a
chain of fortified posts and harbors
extending from point directly east
to a point directly north OF the Phillip
pine Islands. Germany acquired
Kiaochou Bay as its share of the
spoiis when the concert OF Europe
wrested from Japan the fruit Of hlr
victory oxer China and gave Port
Arthur TO Russia, Wei Hai-Wei to
Great Britain and Kiaochou to Gers
many. 1t is safe to predict that
were not the attention OF the Ameri-
'caRpress rivetsed on the Russo-Jap-
anese peace negotiations the pages of
the public prints would TEEN with
the significance of Germany's deter
mination.
So greatly has the putlic business
in Washington increased Of late that
the President has been compelled to
defer his final departure for his sum
mer home at Oyster Bay fur several
days. He will not leave Washington
for Oyster Bay uutil June 26 instead
Of IN Juhe 20, as he had planned.

j. A. Cable, secretary OF the Coopers' Inter

Central Labor Union and the local organ
izers of the American Federation of Labor,
has requested that an effort be made to
organize the coopers In and around the city.
1t Is said that the local coopers have never
been organized in distinctive union OF
their craft and that those employed in the
several breweries are members of the Brew
cry Workers Union. An attempt to organ
ize the outside coopers, 1t Is said, would
very probably involve the coopers employ
ed in the local breweries, as the interna-
tional organization requires that. driving
hoops on all loose cooperage and boring and
bushing all cooperage in breweries shall be
done by coopers under the jurisdiction of the
