1902 or "Act of February 8, 1907" as
the case may be.
z. In addition to the general acts
hereinbefore mentioned, there are
number of acts of congress applica-
BILE only to limited areas which, in
certain contingencies, permit the al
lowance of second homestead entries.
For specific information relative
thereto, reference is made to the gen
eral circular of this office, issued Jan
uary rs, 1904, and to the special acts
OF congress applicable to the areas
in question.
8. In the absence of legislation by
congress extending the homestead
right, the making of one homestead
entry exhausts the homestead right
and this department is without author
ity in such cases to allow second
homestead entries to be made. When
applications to make second entry
are presented, and applicants fail to
show that they come within the pur-
view of any of the acts of congress
allowing second homestead entries.
registers and receivers will reject
such applications, giving the reasons
therefor and allowing the usual right
of appeal.
9. All pending applications will be
considered and disposed of under
these regulations.

It is pointed out by students of the
great problem OF railroading that Hill
now has not only a direct connection
with Chicago by virtue of his traffic
agreements, but that he has an al
most direct line from Seattle and Port
land to Galveston. Texas, and the gulf
BY this arrangement he can handle not
only great grain crops and lumber
shipments Of the north but he is in a
position TO carry the enormous ex-
ports Of cotton from the gulf states to
Seattle over his own lines, and place
them on board the steamers bound for
the orient. Returning from the north

ceoe InaL t1lll IS the UOlHlhdllllS factor,

Suspicious of brokers on the local
mining exchange that there were ir-
regularities connected with the affairs
of the Selby Consolidated mine in the
Jumbo, near Reno, New, came to a
focus yesterday when word was re-
ceived that, following a heated meeting
of the stock holders in Reno Saturday.
a receiver was appointed. Charges
came from Nevada and were freely
circulated locally that the property
had been extensively "salted" and that
the victims had lost In the neighbor-
hood of 100000 in the deal. ]. B.
Menardi was appointed receiver for the
mine.
Interest i'm the Crash
Although no San Francisco investors
held extensive holdings of the stock.
there is much interest locally in the
crash. by reason of the extravagant
statements made regarding the prop
erty at the time it was first opened.
The stock was sold heavily around
the sales were made principally on re-
ports of Emmerson Gee, mining en-
gineer, who said that the property
was even richer than the Comstocks.
Huge samples of ore, literally alive
with gold. were brought from the
property. and drifts for many feet
showed big values to the naked eye.
Visitors were shown through the prop
eEty and on the excitement which fol-
lowed sales were made
Charges of Fraud
A mill costing $4,000 was put on
the mine, and it was then -rflat the
values gave out and charges of fraud
began to be made. This finally re-
suited in an investigation and the af-
fairs of the company were thrown into
the hands of receiver.
A meeting of the creditors and stock
holders held at Reno yesterday showed
that the company had outstanding bills
against it for $4,000 or more, with as
sets of not more than $4,000. The total
output of the mill was shown to be
something over $4,000, all of which had
been expended. AT the meeting a COM
mittee was appointed to make an effort
to straighten out the tangled affairs.
The board of directors of the Selby
Consolidated consisted of w. r. Gilbert.
president and secretary; ]. w. Camp
bell, A. Y. Werner. John Harnan and
j. B. Menardi.
Hidden Ore of Low Grade
Werner was accused in the report of
Receiver Menardi of hiding sacks of
ore which were said to have a value of
$1,000. but when milled after discovery
contained very low grade ore. Fred
Stadtmuller and Emerson Gee are the
only other two men who were actively
connected with the conduct of the
Selby.
w. G. Gilbert, real estate dealer
and contractor of Reno, is among the
heaviest losers, it was said Yesterday
1t was reported that he had become
involved to the extent of 100000 and
his relatives to an equal amount
through his faith in the mine.

Opinion
The piooros Problem.


Washington Herald.
In every walk Of life, IN every grade
OF society, divorce is far too prevalent.
The marriage tie is coming, through
laxness of thought and dulling Of the
keen edge Of fine moral feeling, to be
regarded less as a sacrament than a
convenience. and the whole tendency
is deeply to be deplored
The example of actors and actresses
is the more hurtful, perhaps, because
they are players; because through their
histrionism they have won to a degree
the regard. not to say the admiration
OF the public; their names are known,
and their example is, FOR that reason,
much more far-reaching than that Of
people in more humdrum walks OF
life.
So prevalent has divorce become
among the actors. there is so much
marrying and intermarrying with tho
consequent scandals and reproach, that
one wonders that they ever dare to
essay matrimony. But they were ever
an adventurous race. It is not pleasant
to contemplate their matrimonial mix
ups So far as their principles Of
matrimony are concerned, the social
body outside the stage is not likely TO
desire to emulare them. They viii.
rather, we think. teach outsiders what
TO avoid, and may fifty be regarded as
horrible examples"

HEAVY REGIsTRATIoN.

II HE free registration so far shows that there
II will have been an enormous registration in
this city when election day rolls around. Prob
ably the vote will exceed in size any previous
vote in the cty's history. The men seem to be
coming out without unusual spur of the party
workers, although the candidates for nominations
are busy, and if the present rate of registration
continues there will be few indeed who will not
be qualified to cast their ballots.
Just how this increase will affect the standing
of the parties is a question. Naturally it would
be assumed that the same party proportion OF I'M
registered as as we'll as unregistered voters
would hold good and that therefore the result OF
the vote would be an increase in the Republican
party's ballots on election day. On the other
hand it must be remembered that the Republi-
cans have had a splendid and aggressive organi-
cation in the city, which has done heroic work in
registering voters in the past, and on this basis It
might be assumed that the Democrats will profit
by the larger registration, if more Democrats
than Republicans have not been voting in the
past.
However, there is Just enough uncertainty
about the result of the largely increased registra-
ton to set the politicians guessing. This uncer-
tainty may spur on Democratic leaders to
put their shoulders to the Democratic cart and
to try to send it moving faster than it has moved
for some years Reports from the lower counties
also tell of a large registration, something that
will cause the same element OF uncertainty to
enter into political speculations
