Although 500 men about him fed in SEEM
ing disorder. he held his ground.
1t is said that only the Confederate adj
miration for his valor> saved his life.
They could easily have rtddled him with
bullets. They allowed him to escape in
nearby brush.

command of Capt. H. A. Barren. where
he continued lighting until the close OF

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

President Roosevelt in his special message to congress, March 25, dwelt particularly upon laws tending to ef- feet industrial combinations. He strongly urges qualifications in the antitrust law on the ground that it is only partially effective against vicious combinations.
 While characterizing the strike as a clumsy weapon for rightjng wrongs, he say, strikes themselves are and should be recognized to be entirely legal, though violence, disorder and coercion in connection with strikes, he says, should be as promptly and Steruly repressed as when committed i'm any other connection.

AN UNLAWFUL FRA AcTICE

It has long been the practice of a certain class of people to lay hold of whatever logs the could find floating loose in streams and bays, and appro- priating them to their own use, In many instances the owners realize that to go in search Of and bring back the missing timber would lead to an expense in excess of the value of the logs; hence they have not often prose- cuted those who have appropriated their property.
 It is only a step from appropriating logs and converting them into stove wood, to stealing boom-sticks and cut ting them up for the same purpose, and but another step to entering mills and carrying away lumber and parts of the mill machinery, all of which has been going on more or less openly dur ing the past year.

REGENT DECISION

Burgsrom vS. the Alaska Central Railroad Company. This case has re- gently been decided in favor of the rail way company by Hon. Royal GunnrSon, judge of the First Judicial Division of the territory of Alaska. This action was brought threc years ago to enjoin tine defendant from cutting timber for railroad construction purposes from lands claimed by the plaintiT as his homestead location.
 Under the homestead laws as made applicable to Alaska the court holds that all lands adjacent to the line of surveyed route of railroad, not occu- pied or claimed at the time such survey was made, are subject to the right of the railroad to take the tim Der necessary for construction pur- poses, and hOmeSteaderS take their lands subject to such right. The court said: "It is my opinion then, that the lands from which the defendants cut the timber in question were lands Of the United States adjacent to the de- fendant's line, when defendants rights were initiated and that when the plaintiff went upon them, they were subject to defendants rights to take therefrom timber necessary for the construction of it's road
 This decision will act to deter per sons from locating timber lands adja- cent to the line of railroads in process of construction for the sole purpose of holding up the railroad company and thus compelling them to buy.
