Some Interesting Land Decisions.

Some recent decisions of the
commissioner of the general land
Office at Washington that are of in
terest to our readers.
The sale of improvements is evil
dence of abandonment.
The execution of lease by a
homesteader of the land embraced
in his entry, and the occupancy of
said land by his tenant, will not
defeat the right of the entryman to
perfect his title under his entry if
he continues to reside upon and
cultivate the same.

HE PREDICTS REVOLUTION

Monopoly of Lands md Waterways
VIII Cause One, Says NcGec.
CHICAGO, ILL. Dec. 1-That the rapid
acquisition of Americas riparian rights
bs- the railroads and other private In
ierests is involving the country in stu
alton which threatens a revolution was
the neutrality-suspicious. made last night
by W. j. McGse, secretary of the United
states inland waterways commission.
The speaker affirmed that this activity
al private interests is throttlinG naHiga-
ton and depriving navigation of its great
est single source of wealth. Mr. MCGEE
was addressing the annual dinner OF the
Geographic Society of Chicago on the
.,AIississIppi and its Future ''The
country is on the verge of a revolution
OF a grave character" Mr. MCGEE de-
clared, THE absolute monopoly of our
land and our waterways by certain
few private individuals will surely re-
suit If the American people do not take
steps to protect their riparian rights.
The railways are our menace.
From ST. Paul to New Orleans there
is not single town excepting Nicks-
burg where the railroads do not own and
control the river fronts and bridges. Ii
II a wonder that navigation declines when
corporations act through legislatures and
other sources in grabbing these stcs?'
Mr.. NfcCiee dealt in figures of fabulous
proportions showing that the potentia
water power In the rivers OF the country
IL developed through widening and deep
ening. would within few years pay FOL
the work.
