HITS LYMAN COUNTY HARD

President Roosevelt has been
poking around with his big stick
until he has found the settlers
OF Lyman county and taken a
poke at them that they will long
remember, and it may cripple
to such an extent that it will
take them years to get over it If
they ever do.
Among the five messages
which he sent TO congress re
Gently, was one on land frauds,
IN many Of his ideas ihe Argus
Leader is in hearty accord and
has been in favor Of them for
years, but his order to the sec
retary of the interior not to al
low more patents to be issued 10
public land under any law until
after an inspector has visited
the place and reported that the
settler had actually complied
with the law, Is a little too sweep
ing. The order would be alright
if the government had suffi-
cient force in the field so that
when claimant made applica-
tion to commute or prove up his
homestead that the inspector
could go at once and make his
inspection and report the same,
and his report and the testimony
of the claimant could go to
Washington together, then there
would be no delay. This report
should be open for those loaning
money on the land; otherwise
the claimant would be just as
bad off as he is now, for he
could not borrow a cent of mon
ey any more than he can now.
Ii the presidents instructions
are followed out in this matter
it means that it is not safe TO
loan money on the receivers re-
ceipt as has been the custom for
years past. II also means that
there viii be a chance for some
to graft a higher rate OF interest
out of the claimant where they
are forced To make final proof
for the purpose of borrowing
money on their land so that they
can improve the same aud buy
more cattle so that They can
make better living. will not be
able to 10 SO.
Another way that would help
the settler would be for the gov
ernment TO take the testimony
and send it in, tnen if it is accept
ed, let the claimant pay his mon
ey, for then it will be possible
for him to borrow money on his
land. Ii the president knows
as much about this western
country as he claims he does he
does he certainly knows that
there are not many people who
are able to come here and take
land ard improve it without bor
rowing money. We know of some
institutions which have heen
loanins money on zeal estate in
this county have stopped loaning
on anything put patented land,
aud il this becomes the practice
Of all institu tions loaning money
and under the presidents or
der it is the only safe way-then
we believe the people should ent.

make the government either do
as they have been doing, or place
enough inspectors in the field so
that there will be no delay on
