we'll up to $4,000.
Although Che commissioners OF the
general land Office recommended the
abolition OF the stone and timber act
passed in 1873, and the secretary o.
the interior also urged congress te
take steps to repeal the law, nc
action was taken at the last session
of congress, and entries may still
be made under the terms of this act.
The Washington officials took the
position that the stone and timber
laws provided ways and means for
the timber land frauds which de-
veloped In the west, and that its
abolition would prevent valuable
timber lands from falling into the
hands of spectators and lumber
companies.
tits worthy OF note that nearly all
the government lands take up last
year in the upper peninsula were
for grazing purposes, this being es-
pecially true in the western part OF
the peninsula where cattle raising
is now an active industry. Chippewa
county has Al, 1926 acres of unocupied
government lands, the greast acre
age of any county north of the
straits: Marquette is second with
%, 1866 acres and Schoolcraft third
with 20, 130 acres. Goeebic county
has only eighty acres of government
land, and Houghton is credited with
673 acres.

DIED m LONDON.
Judge George p. Wanty ExpiHed Sud.
denly while in British Metropolis.

Hon. George P. VANITY, judge OF
the United States circuit and dist
rict courts for the western district
OF Michigan, died Monday in Lon
don from a complication of diseases
superinduced by nervous strain and
overwork. The news Of his death
was wholly unexpected even by bis
family and friends, who we're aware
that his health was undermined by
constant and unremitting work on
the bench, but with no thought that
his condition was at any tim criti-
cal. Judge VANITY left Marquette
at the close of the May term Of court,
and after closing up minor bank
ruptcy matters at Grand Rapids,
departed for Europe for q few
months rest. A trip abroad was
advised by his physician, and he ex-
pressed to his friends in this city
the hope that relief from court duty
for few months would have the de-
sired result OF restoring waning
vitality. Matters relating to cases
which were to be tried at the Sc p
tember term OF court in Marquette
we're left open by the Judge in the
expectation that he would return in
time to bold the regular session OF
court, so even he did not anticipate
the seriousness OF his aff1iction.
Judge VANITY was appointed to
the United States bench in 1900 by
the late President Mckinley. He
was fifty-two years Of age, and was
one OF the hardest working jurists
on the federal bench, his court being
distinguished from the usual United
States courts by reason Of the ex-
peditious manner In which business
was transacted. He was an inde-
fatigsble worker, and this strong
mark OF character proved his un-
doing as his health became impaired
by constant labor without vacation.
The news OF his death will come as
. shock and surprise to bis friends
in this part Of the state, his rela-
tions with, members Of the bar and
those with whom he came in con tact
10 private life being particularly
amicable. - Mining Journal.

DECREASE Is REGULAR.


The decrease in the acreage ol
the public domain has been uniform
for the past Eve years, 10000 acres
Of land being taken by settlers last
year, which is about the ratio main
tanned since 1901. Previous to the
last named year there was con-
siderable acreage in the upper pen
insula containing hardwood and
hemlock timber, but this has been
largely depleted since that time,
although there yet remains some
lands on which timber is still stand
ing.
During the year 1906, the Mar
quette land office received spproxi-
mately e35, 900 from settlers for
timber and stone claims and COM
mutton entries. The above amount
however, does not represent the en-
tire receipts OF the ofiice for the
year, as fees were collected from
homestead entries, final proof and
contest cases, and from various
other sources which run the total

LARGE ACREAGE
OF PUBLIC LANDS.
Government stin Owns over 800, 600
Acres In The state Of
Michigan.

There is still vast acreage OF un-
occupied land in Michigan, exclu,
sive OF swamp, agricultural college
and primay school lands owned by
the state. Notwithstanding the
fact that Michigan has occupied a
position in the front rank OF the
agricultural states Of the union for
nearly fifty years, it is noteworthy
that the extension OF the agricul-
tural aera has been gradual and slow
compared with some OF the younger
western states. The annual report
of the Marquette land Office, made
public Monday, says the Mining
Journal, shows that at the close Of
the fiscal year, June 30th, there was
BOG, 155 acres Of unoccupied govern
ment lands in Michigan. Until this
year the upper peninsula counties
had the greatest area of unoccupied
territory, but during the past twelve
months over $4,000 acres has passed
into the hands OF homesteaders and
settlers, while in the southern Sec
tion OF the state below the straits OF
Mackinac there has been a decrease
in the settling up of public lands.

BAILEY ON RATE BILL.
Talked TO senate on Cases In Equity
and In Law,

WASHINGTON, April 11.-Almost
every seat in the senate was filled and
the gallery was packed to hear senator
Bailey's speech on the rate bill Sena-
tor Bailey began talking as soon as the
morning business was finished.
He Immediately entered upon the dis
cussion of his proposition looking TO
the withdrawal Of the power OF the in
feriOr courts TO suspend the orders of
the interstate commerce commission
referring TO the contention that there
would be distinction between the
powers Of congress over cases in equity
and in law.
If" said Mr.. Bailey. THE president

sttution. The constitution is the

had been conceded by his opponents.
as had also been the point that the in
ferior courts derived their power from
acts OF congress and not from the con
sttution direct These concessions left
as the only point the distinction be
tween the judicial power of the United
States and the jurisdiction Of the fed
eral courts. for which Mr. Knox and
Mr.. Spooner contend.
AS for himself he considered this a
fine point. so fine, indeed, that he felt
it would 20 far to Justify Mr. Tillman's
Characterization of the rehnements of
the law. He did not consider the point
material
Mr. Bailey set out with the one end
in view Of establishing the soundness
of his contention that congress has the
power 10 deny TO the inferior United
States courts the right TO suspend the
orders of the Interstate commerce com
mission pending the final decision of
cases arising under the proposed law.
This he undertook to do by citing in
Vulnerable decisions of the courts and
quoting many other authorities.
There was significant suggestion
from Mr.. Hale indicating the POSSIBLE
