homesteader. Some advocates Of leas'
ing believe that the homestead entry
man should have the right to enter up
on land during the term OF even an
annual lease, after proving his bona
fide home purpose. Others are inciin'
ed to think that settlement OF the
country will be amply safeguaued by
providing that the homestead entry
man shall be given access to the land
ONLY after expiration Of range lease
Champions OF the small stocEman VIII
also insist that an entryman taking
range land, shall be insured good
range acreage about his homestead,
which others cannot lease. The range
homestead ha, been suggested as a
law that would encourage the cattle
industry at least, ii not the sheep, and
recognize the semi-a arid condition Of the
country. This suggestion is to let a
man take large range acreage as a
single homestead, the limit being such
probable yield Of forage as the average
agricultural homestead yields.
All of the solutions proposed could
not be enumerated in limited space,
but enough have been advanced to
prove that when the question must
finally be decided, there will be a wide
diversity Of courses offered. Western
states should begin careful study OF
the situation. They will be most vital
" affected, and unless their rights a.
states and industrial commemorative
are ably championed in the formative
hour Of law-making, theories that are
utterly impracticable may be forced
upon them.
There has been such stir through
out the East in regard to the public do
main, that radical action might be
expected if the true status Of the West
is not made the subject Of constant
education. Many Eastern people re-
gard the acquisition Of more than l6C
acres Of public land by one person Of
company as Gland grabbing" They dc
not realize the necessities of range
country. When informed on the tim
Der acreage required by large lum'
Der concern before erecting a mill, they
are inclined to style the business pre-
caution a public outrage. To meet sucf
views as these, and have whatever legis'
lation is enacted kept upon plane per
mitting the most rapid and permanent
Western development, many Westerr
people are already anticipating the dis
cusson by gathering data.

we feel that they are being imposed
upon ina>mueh as they get no pay for
night work. Not seldom does il hap
pen that the skipper of one vessel will
disturb the peaceful shmhers OF col.
lector. and no sooner has he returned
To bed before another navigator will
drop around and tear down the house
to secure a permit to proceed.
Nearly all of the vessels running
out of Portland stop at Astoria to pick
up passengers and freight, and this
makes il necessary for them to clear
there, Notwithstanding the fact that
they have papers from the office in
Portland"
The petition to Collector Robb reads
as follows:
The masters and pilots plying be
tween Astoria and Portland beg of you
to use your influence in securing night
custom house man at Astoria to clear
in and out bound vessels now plying
out of the Columbia River. We deem
it an absolute necessity that there be a
custom house man on duty at night in
order to more facilitate the handling
OF the shipping
Many signatures have already been
affixed to the petition"

" Goes Into Bankruptcy,

NEW YORK, Feb -. The suit OF
Edward Blewitt and Frederick W, and
James NJ. Wilmens to recover $780, II
from Colgate lloyt the banker, and
Leigh Hunt, was placed on trial yes
terday before Supreme Court Justice
Belts and jury, The suit originated
in the purchase by Hoyt and some as
sociates Of gold mine in the Monte
Cristo tract in Washington.
The mine belonged originally to
Hiram G. Bond of California, who as
signed his claims, to lIoyt, Leigh Hunt
and Charles Colby. A bond for sl13,ooo
was given by the purchasers guaranteed
by the net earnings of the mine and
bond assigned this guarantee to the
plaintiffs, Blewits and the two Will
mems.
A cash payment OF $4,000 was also
made by the purchasers. The pla'n'ihs
are suing on the bond and alIese that
the mine was never properly worked
and no accounting of the net earnings
rendered. Judge Bond is here a.
witness. Hoyt and Hunt, the defend
ants, Colby being dead, assert that the
mine was worked for five years and
turned out to be goddess, They sank
81 OOO, 900, it is alleged, in mining oper'
ations there until in 1898 work had to
be stopped because of a washout, The
company organized to mine the district
went into bankruptcy and the claims
were sold BY credits.
