Fergus Land Case Decided.

LEwIsTowN, April lS.-The cele.
brated Rock creek bench land contest
case has been finally decided, Secre.
tary of the Interior James A. Garfield
having passed upon it. The case was
instituted over two years ago by AL
fred O. Robinson, who attacked the
desert eotry of John w. Moore. near
Moore, on the ground that the re.
CURED work had not be done and also
that the land was not desert 10 char
acter. 1t was upon the latter point
that the %contestan, chiefly relied.
The Importance of this case lies in
the fact that this last ruling pr PRACTICAL
" puts the bench lands 10 the nom
desert class.
The register and receiver of the 10.
cal Office decided in favor OF the con
testant. but on the ground that Moore
did not own a water right sufficient 10
irrigate the land. This was sustained
by the commissioner Of the land of.
flee, who is now sustained by Mr..
G arfield. In concluding his some
what lengthy decision, the secretary
lays down a proposition with regard
to desert lands b at will be of interest
generally over this state. He says:
cit is apparent that the lands along
Rock creek bench will produce abund.
antly under irrigation. and If the pro-
ductive value OF the land in its natur'
al condition is compared with its pro-
ductive capacity under irrigation, II
might 10 that sense be considered thai
it would not be profitable TO cultivate
them without irrig alton. 1t is evident
that many of the witnesses introduced
by the claimant had this 10 view il
testifying that the land was desert, be-
cause it was shown upon cross-exami
nation that there were homesteaderi
along the bench who were c%ultivatine

The remarkable success that =. Mil Ter Kent has made in the famous play "Raffles.' the Amateur Cracksman
 which will be the attraction at the Doris opera house. Tuesday. Dec. IT,. is another proof of Joseph NJ. Gaites' good judgment in the matter of cast ing play. MT Kent is easily the best young romantic actor in the country. lie is a graduate of Purdue University, of Indiana. and was in tended by his parents for he law. While still al college. however. young Kent had made up his mind to go on the stage. He made his first appear aRce in New York with Neil Burgess in Vim" He then played under gran" Colleen Bawn." "Arrah-na- great Boucicault successes. He then went with James O'Neill. supporting that star in Monte ChristO," Hamlet" and the Dead Heart" Mir. Kent was later engaged as the juvenile leading man by \. NJ. Palmer in his famous stock company at the time when Jim the Penman" was the sensation of the period He supported N. C.

He was in Liebler & Cos production Of The Musketeers" at the Broadway Theater. New York. NIT. Kent then made his first starring venture in Clyde Fitch'S play The Cowboy and the Lady" and later in Fighting Bob" in both of which plays he made much reputation for himself and friends. For the past season he has been one of the most high salaried vaudeville headliners, in a sketch called .'Doro- thy" IL will be seen therefore that MT. Gaites. in selecting MT.
