In some such manner congress

Popular clamor demands new rail-

mood is 80 sicklied over with the
lurid cast OF campaign oratory as to

there Is no such word as peace.

NO ROOM FOR MONEY.
Portland Bank Has No Room to Store
$4,000 in Silver.

The First National bank Of Portland
yesterday refused to accept some $12,-
600 in silver from the collector of
customs of this port for deposit on
the ground that it has already all the
silver 1t can handle, and that 1t costs
- to ship each $1,000 to the subtreas-
ury at San Francisco, says the Oregon
Daily Journal. Chief Deputy Collector
Pike has wired the department in
Washington for instructions as to the
disposition of the coin. An answer
is expected this afternoon.
Heretofore the collector of GUS
toms forwarded his collections direct
to the subtreasury but few days ago
instructions were received from the
chief of the department to deposit the
collections in the national banks here.
Monday about $4,000 was collected
and about $4,000 Of the money turned
over to the banks was in silver. The
gold was accepted but the silver re-
turned.
President A. L. Mills, Of the First
National bank says that the silver was
refused on the ground stated above,
as It would be impossible to find
space for 1t in the bank vaults at
present. He explained that some years
ago a law was passed providing free
transportation for silver from the
treasury, but no provision was made
for its return. Hence 1t is up to some
one to pay the freight In this In
stance the bank does not feel inclined
to do so.

ance of the patent. On that point
he says:
OF course. whether there was a sale
and what was the thing sold were
matters OF fact to be determined by
the testimony, and the findings of the
land department in that respect are
conclusive in the courts.
1t is argued by the plaintiff that a
sale of homestead prior to the issue
" patent is void under statutes OF
the United States. This is undcubt-
edly the law and the ruling cf the
secretary was not in conflict with it,
but the fact that one seeking to en-
tor a tract OF land as a homestead
cannot make valid sale thereof Is
M moons slnnt with his right
aauluish his application fol the
u'l, and ~ The secretary of the in
terior ruled.
While public policy may prevent
enforcing the contract of sale, it does
not destroy the, significance that the
vendor no longer claims title. He
cannot sell and at the same time
deny that he made a sale.
The government may rightfully
treat it rs n REIMBURSEMENT and aban-
donmcnt of his application and en-
try. No man entering land as a
homestead is hound to perfect his
tile by the occupation. He may
abandon 1t at any. time or he may in
an yother satisfactory way relin-
1uish the right acquired by his en-
try. Having done that, he is no long
~ interested in the title of the land.
That Is a matter to be settled be-
tween the government and other ap-
Hlcants. In this case, Love having
relinQuished his claim, 1t does not lie
in his mouth to challenge the action

have comparatively long terms to

and held his first court session this
morning.

One Herd Dying OF Hunger
Fn1ners VIII Feed Elk at States
E,v'rr---s.

.n.As IoucnIng account of
the Wholesale starvation of entire
a#.Ds u elk aud antelope in northern
HyoraDs, from ths Pinedaie cor
respondent of the Cheyenne Tribune.
The correspondent says:
The conditions have changed to be
most unfavorable Cor the game here
abouts and many are dying. This
has been one of the most severe win
ters in IS years for this section, and
at present the elk find it impossible
to get feed and are maddened With
hunger.
Fences no longer bar them away
from the haystacks, and for the past
week forest rangers and ranchers
have been at work trying to keep
them away from the hay, but to no
avail.
Ranger George Glover returned
Saturday from the ranch of George
Smith, where he had spent two days
trying to get the elk back in the hills,
and succeeded in moving about 100
away after a hard fight, in which he
found II necessary to kill one mad
cow leader. which had charged on
him five times
Smith came in yesterday and re-
ported that the elk were all back ana
that he could do nothing with them,
and that they had already worked on
two of his stacks, and refused to be
moved away again.
He has about decided to feed them
and put in claim to the state, for II
is a sure thing that they will die soon,
as they have been feeding now for
some time on willows and quaken
ash bark, and six weeks is as long
as they can stand that food.
Game Warden Nowlin is absent
from Lander and it is impossible to
get in touch with him. and last eve
ming a telegram was sent to Cover
nor Brooks asking authority to pur-
chase hay and bunch the elk for
feeding. AS it now is. the elk are
in every meadow on Willow creek,
and scattered in bands of from go
to 100. clear up to the Newfork
lakes. 1t is estimated that about l.
200 elk are wintering in this locality.
Game Warden Joe Boulter came
up from Newfork today to look after
the game interests in response to a
call. and will be kept busy for some
time. He reports that about 5000
antelope out on the desert are dying
like sheep for want of feed.
The coyotes and wolves are also
playing havoc with them, and there
is serious doubt that they will pull
through. Billy Postel has announced
that he will take the risk of securing
his pay from the state If the little
fellows are brought into his ranch
and fed.
There are about 500 in bands close
TO Newfork and ranchers have gone
out to bring them in for feed. Chris
Brand, while driving on the Lander
trail the other day, had a band of
over SO follow his sled for two or
three miles.
TIE authority is extreme, but there
is no authority for expenditure for
feed or care, and it is too big an un-
dertaking for our people to raise
money for this purpose.

item and their boats after hard
chase. The Canadian patrol came
upon two fishing boats and a gasoline
launch near Old Hen island. There
were four men in the boats. The fish
ermen were ordered to surrender, bu+
instead of giving themselves up to the
Canadian patrolmen hurried aboard
the launch and set out for American
waters as fast as they could go.
The Canadian government ves~e'
gave chase. Il was lively run for =
time, but the si@;lant sent shot af +er
the Americans, which came dangerous
ly near them, and the men on the fish
ing boats suNendered. They Were
taken aboard the Vigilant and kept
prisoners for some time. They wee

c..ty. The fishing boats, however, We're
