GREAT RUSH TO GET LAND
Hundreds Reaching Out For the
Choice Sections

Salem, Ore, May 3O.In a siren
uous effort to be first to settle" on
the land, a party Of Salem people left
at 2:30 this morning for the Abiqua
Basin, - miles east of Silver creek
falls, where they will locate on South
ern Pacific lands. 1t is reported that
some of the Southern Pacific timber
lands in that region are worth 100000
quarter section, and as a number ..
the intending purchasers heard that a
rush would be made to settle on those
tracts. they got out of bed shortly af-
ter midnight, mounted bicycles and
will ride hard in the race to be first
on the land. AS there is a full moon
tonight, they can ride almost as we'll
as by daylight, and will be on the
land by noon today.
Two parties left Tuesday for the
same part of the country, but as they
did not appear to be making part1cu-
lar haste, it is quite possible that the
men leaving on bicycles this morning
will beat them to the Abiqua Basin.
1t is very probable that double fill
ings will be made in many cases, as
the timber is SO thick that several men
might be on the same quarter at the
same time without seeing each other.

PRIESTS CENsuRE VATICAN
Accuses Pope Of Violating Rights
Of Conscience

ROME, May 30.-A group of Italian
priests have issued a remarkable open
letter to the Pope 1t is a daring reply
to the censure uttered by his holiness
in his allocution of April II against
the most modern school Of ecciesiasts.
and it accuses the pontiff Of violating
the rights of conscience in his treat
ment of Father Murri and of other
priests.
Father Murri was suspended from
the priesthood for criticising the vati-
cans policy. The letter contends that
Roman Catholicism should abandon its
archaic position. and by recognizing
the claims of science and democracy,
remain it's hold on mankind. 1t vindi-
Gates the right Of the young men in
the church to a certain amount OF I'D
erty in their work for her, and strongly
criticises non-pOntifical appointments
to high offices. The pope is charged
also with paralyzing the work and in
situations of his predecessor. The
writer's of the letters repudiate the
idea of rebellion, and appeal to tho
pope for wisdom, equity and clemency.

To Regulate Railroad Legislation.

The movement to regulate railways
by law has come to stay. The people
of this country have made up their
minds-and wisely made up their
minds-to exercise a closer control
over all kinds of public service cor
porations, including railways. Every
honestly managed railway will gain
and not lose by the policy. The men
more anxious to manipulate stocks
than to make the management of their
roads efficient and honest are the only
ones who have cause to oppose it.
We believe in steady and healthy pro-
gress and stand unalterab1y for the new
era of the widest publicity, and of fair
dealing on the part of railroads with
stockholders. passengers and shippers.
We ask the consent of no man in car
rying out this policy: but we gladly
welcome the aid Of every man in per-
fecting the law in it's details, and in
securing it's enactment and the faithful
observance of its wise provisions. We
seek nothing revolutionary. We ask

COAT, LANDS

Congressman Gale is to interview the president in regard to the order issued from the executive office with drawing from entry all coal lands in the United States, which includes Alaska, and it is highly probable that the presidents annual message to con- gress vii contain a paragraph or two in reference to the matter.
 It has become apparent that the Pa cifc coast cities are unable to secure an adequate supply of coal for the win ter months, and there is no longer any doubt that the coal fields of Matanus- ka and Katalla will eventually be call ed upon to furnish the supply Nome and other cities in Alaska also con- sume large quantities of coal and Alas ka will soon be called upon to supply the fuel for its own consumption.
 The president, having arrogated to himself the right to set aside the laws made by congress, by issuing a procla- nation withdrawing from entry all coal lands in Alaska, many coal prop critics cannot be operated, and it is to be hoped that this withdrawal, which was understood to be only a temporary affair, will not be allowed to become permanent.
 No argument is needed to convince the layman that the order made by the president is illegal, when it comes to question of law. for he has no more right than any other citizen to set aside the laws made by congress, but the prospectors who have acquir- ed coal lands in Alaska, either before or after the issuance of the order, have no desire to become involved in a law suit in order to establish clear titles Nome Nugget.

group of claims called the Western Group, located on the west end of the Wardner mineral zone. The company paid nearly $250, 900 for this group, and has since expended about $50, GOO in equipping and sinking shaft on the same. The claims have been To- cated and held from 10 to 20 years, in accordance with the mining laws. Since the creation of the reserves an application has been made for patent. The department sent an inexperienced kid to pass on the matter. He looked over the ground and proposed to the general manager of the Federal con- pany that if the claims were really held in good faith as mineral claims, the work, instead of being confined to shaft and the cross-cuts and drifts from it, should be scattered on each of the claims of the group! The final action of the department is not known. but it is likely sooner or later to lead to some difficulty.
 1T know also of other cases where the department has looked into claims without regard to the fact that the claims have been located and held many years before the establishment of the reserve, but in all the final de- cision has not been reached. 1 have also heard some complaint from the mining companies in regard to the regulations governing the removal of mining timber, this complaint, especially from the Federal company which is by far the largest user, but as any departure from the former free and easy methods. .of the past is bound to meet considerable adverse criti cism, I think it is hardly time to say that the industry of mining is ham pered in this regard.

POLITICS IN ALASKA

Americanism of the robust sort seems to be thoroughly reused in Alas ka, and the indications are that the citizens of the northern country will no longer temporize with the men who have opposed the conversion of Alaska into territory. No quarter will be asked, none granted, by the men who have determined to force this issue upon the attention of the nation al government, nor will any efforq ba made to spare those who have persist ently stood in Alaska's light.
 Citizens of Alaska are rightly talk ing advantage of every opportunity to press the territorial issue upon the at tention of the federal government.
