onr nlIlion. OF Ancestor..


Has anybody ever stopped to think
how many male and female ancestors
It took to bring us into the worldf
First, Of course, It was necessary TO
have a father and mother and our IA
cher and mother must have had ia
ther and mother. and so on back to the
time of Christ. A careful calculation
Of all these ancestors shows that there
must have been 139 235, OH, ,4S9, ,534, ,976
births to bring one Of us into the
world, And this is only from the time
Of Christ and not from the beginning
Of the world. According to one author
lty, If from a single couple for 5000
years each husband and wife had mar
ried at the age Of twenty-one and there
had been no deaths the population Of
the earth would be 2,199915, followed
by IA ciphers To hold such a popula-
tion It would take several worlds the
size OF ours.

HEIRS TO LIVE ON CLAIM
Interior Department Makes Ruling
on a MOOted Point.

Another important ruling affect
ing public lands has been made by the
department of the interior, coming as
reversal of a decision made by the
land office in a contest case which.
started in the local land office. In
the decision the secretary of the in
terror holds that where a contestant
for a homestead has secured the cam
collation. of an entry and has died be-
fore final action of the department,
then residence of the heirs on the
land is mandatory The land office
held in the case of McPeek VS.. Sulli-
van that in such cases the heirs were
allowed to make entry and acquire
title in the same way as could the
deceased. had ne not died with the
option of living on the land and i'm
proving 1t. says a Yakima letter.
This ruling by the secretary of the
interior will effect many homestead
ers in this district
A somewhat similar case came be-
fore the local land office this week.
but as 1t did not come in the form of
contest, Register Coleman declin-
ed to render a decision on it. The
instance was that in which a father
and son held adjoining claims which
had not been committed on as yet
The father died. and the son inquired
of the land office whether he could
commute on his fathers claim and
still hold his own. Register Coleman
referred the man TO an attorney.
The secretary Of the interior has
also advised the general land office
that desert claim can be enlarged
to the maximum size only in cases
where the petitioner was unable To
secure the maximum at the time or r
the original entry, because all ada
cent lands had been filed upon. TIE
secretary rules that if such a peti-
tioner is able to secure enough OF
the adjacent land to make the maxi
mum he may do so.
