indulging in variety OF pursuits. and
he is not ayerse TO speculation when
conditions appear auspicious.
Ever since Snohomish county has

TEST VOTES ON PUBLIC LANDS.
Attitude of President Toward Leasing
 Government Coal Lands.

Washington, February 4.-Several test votes were taken by the House commit tee on public lands today to determine the attitude of the committee towards Presi- dent Roosevelts policy of leasing all government coal lands The committee argued aganist a general leasing system for coal lands but by a vote of five to four favored a plan to lease such lands in limited areas Another vote showed that the committee still favors the reten- ton of the present system of selling land, but with notifications in the present plan which will make fraud more diff ficult
 1t was decided by the committee that hereafter all patents issued under entries made for public lands under all laws, ex cept the coal land laws, shall contain a reservation of the coal under the land. This is designed to prevent the acquisi- tion of caol lands under the pretense that it is farming or grazing land.
