The Communication Period.

The communication period is fourteen
months from the date of entry, when
the entryman. upon paying 1928 an
acre for his holdings and submitting
satisfactory proof Of residence during
that period, may receive a patent for
the land covered by his entry.
The secretary is very positive in
holding that the last eight months Of
the communication period shall be those
OF actual residence On this point he
says that Gin communication cases the
law not only requires that it shall be
clarly and satisfactorily appear from
the proof that the bona fide residence
was established within the six months
from the date of entry, but also that
the actual residence upon the land
has been continuous from the time it
was established until the date of the
making Of final proof.
In the cases recently decided the
proof is rejected without prejudice,
which means that the entrymen are
privileged to go back upon the land
and establish residence and otherwise
comply with the law at any time with.
in the five year life of the entry.

NEW RAILROAD COMBINE.
New York Central and Pennsylvania to
Be Dominant Factors.

New York, April THE Curb News
says:
The Curb News can state that the
New York Central and Pennsylvania
roads have practically agreed upon Il
policy Of extension and consolidation
that will unity the transcontinental
service between New York and the
Pacific coast and place immense com.
binations Of important and extensive
railroad systems under single manage
ments, simplifying the operations of
the different lines, and to great ex.
tent multiplying present and prospective
rate legislation.
These combinations have been I'M
der consideration and in process Of
development for many years. At va
rious times they have been almost con-
summated when unexpected obstacles
caused their postponement, but under
the present national administration
conditions have arisen which make the
final adjustment of the relations of the
various roads imperative, and in a
short time the railroad map OF the
United States will be very radically
changed

Some people mistake kindness for

place in this respect, and the Filipinos
areeasily second. Some Americans are

they meet you. they imm ediately want
to put on the gloves, and try con-
illusions; they never respect you until
they are compelled to. They are like

The Cingalese are great people to go
to law. It is estimated that every ma
tive has an average of i've law suits
pending in the petty courts. This is also
the rule in India, which IS not far away.

you are always in sight Of cocoanut and
banana trees. The eocoanut tree is rep
resented on the native money. A favor
ite picture in Ceylon is a cOcoanut grove
on the sea shore. The coeoanut is as
typical of CeyIon as the sunfiower is of
Kansas Sunfowers are also common
here.
In every Ceylon front yard, you find
cocOanut trees; and It is not bad idea
for the trees in the front ward to pay
the family expenses. Our elm trees
produce nothing but worms. Still, the
cocOanut has its pest: a rat climbs the
trees, and gnaws off the young nuts.
This is prevented as far as possible, by
encircling the trees with a ring OF tar.
When I first saw the water buffalo
in Honolulu it was q rare sight, but
I have seen so many of them since-ln
Japan, in China, in the Philippines, ana
in CeylOn-that I am tired of them. They
think over here that rice cannot pc
raised without the water buffalo, al
though the people in our southern states
manage very we'll with mules. In the
rice fields here, the men work naked.
and this is also the rule in India.

said he had influence and would ar

Sunday, December 81.
have just returned from trip to
Handy, the old mountain capital Of
CeyIon. We left tire hotel at z a. m,
and the station a half hour later 1t
should be understood that Ceylon Is
very old; the buried cities I have re-
ferred to were in hourishing condition
two thousand years ago. Now they are
ruined. deserted, and almost covered up
by the dust of ages. and the country
surrounding them is so wild that big
game is hunted IL it. Randy is seven
ty-five miles from Colombo, in ~
mountains, ard the old Cingalese kings
had their capital there.
As a matter of curiosity I will give
list of my expenses on the trip. I took
a native servant along; if you do not
travel with a native servant here, the
other natives viii run over you. The
servant also acted as guide. We left
at 7:30 and arrived at Handy at 1880.
Taking a carriage. we drove about for
three hours, and returned to Colombo
at $50 p. m. on the way up, we had a
compartment to ourselves; a compart-
ment intended for eight The servant
had q seat in d third class compart-
ment in the same carriage, and at every
stop was at our window pointing out
things and looking after US generally

There is nothing to see at Handy.
except the botanical garden, main
tanned by the government, but the town
is in the mountains, and its numerous
hotels are Wen patronized by people
from the sweltering lOwlands. The
railroad trip was interesting. but the
mountain scenery cannot be compared
with that in the Rocky mountains The
tea for which CeyIon is famous, is
grown in the mountains, and the tea
planters may be seen staggering
around Handy. When they have a
prosperous season, they come to Co
lombO, and shoot up the town. as the
cowboys used to do in Dodge City, un-
til Bat Masterson was made town mar
shall and started a graveyard. Most
of the tea planters are Englishmen:
young Englishmen, who have been sent
out here to get rich, or get killed.
They go in for polo which is shiny
on horseback, and wear very unusual
clothes around Handy; they are al
clothes. One of their fads is to wear
two hats.
In addition to the clothes worn by
hotel servants in Colombo, the hotel
servants wear colored sashes, such as
areworn in street professions by lodge
chiefs.
One day satisfied me with Handy. all
though as I have said, the trip through
the mountains was interesting At
several places. three engines were at
tached to the train. But an Ameri-
can needn't come way over here to
see mountain scenery or marvellous
railroad engineering; our country leads
all others in this.

Here is what the trip cost: Telegram
to Handy ordering a. carriage to meet
US at a station convenient TO the DO
tanical garden. 16 cents. Telegraphing
is very cheap here. about a cent word.
This telegram was sent by the servant
the night before.
Carriage from hotel to station, SO
cents. The hotel porter who has charge
of trains worked me for as much more
although I did not need his services. as
the servant rode with US in the car
riage, and looked after everything.
Two first class tickets to Handy and
return. and one third class, $3.50 This
rate was specially low owing to the
Christmas holidays The first class
tickets cost 81 each. and the third class
66 cents.

Two brea kfasts in the dining car,
$3.50 The dining car breakfast was
queer. coffee was charged for extra,
and a salad and chicken pie, We're
served. The servant agreed to pay his
own expenses, but gave him 80 cents
for breakfast and dinner, as he looked
hungry.
Tip to guide in botanical garden, 80
cents but it was worth it: the garden
is the finest in the world. In one little
space, saw growing nutmegs, cloves,
dates, cinnamon, pineapples, vanilla
and the nut from which cocaine is
made: also, rubber trees, banyan trees,
and innumerable palms and foliage
plants.
Carriage in Handy, $1.65.
Tifin at hotel in Randy, $3.50.
Trip to Buddhist priest who showed
US an old temple, 80 cents. The priest
looked like one of the boys from town,
but wore a yellow robe, which distin-
guishes them all.
Carriage to hotel in Colombo, on our
return, 8 cents.
Incidentals, probably z 5 cents.
About $40 gold, altogether, which is
not bad. considering that I had three in
my party, but it should be remembered
that 1 was paying my regular bill at
the hotel in Colombo, and that I have
put down nothing for the servants
wages. However, he works cheap:
