Important Desert Lard I'm
try Ruling by Land Office

One of the most important de-
cisiuns handed down by the gener-
al land Office of the department. sOf'
the interior overruling decision
of the Boise land Office and the le-
gal point of which involves land
under the Canyon canal valued at
thousands of dollars, has been re-
ceived in this city. by the attorneys
interested in the litigation. says the
Capital News. The case is that OF
Arthur A. Richards VS.. Anderson
NJ. Schrecongost. The Boise land
ofi>e held the entry made, by
Schrecongost cancelled, Willie the
general land office holds the case
dismissed. deciding in favor OF
Schrecangost after the case was ap-
peaieu to the general land office
! from the decision of the Boise land
office.
The local Office, in holding the
entry cancelled gave its decision
under the regulations providing
that the entryman must. before
making final proof. deliver water
onto his land. This Schrecongost
was unable to do owing to the fact
that the Canyon Canal company
which concern was to deliver the
water. did not do so owing to the
fact that the big dam it was build
| ing at that time broke, causing
considerable loss to the company
and the farmers in the vicinity.
The local office rendered its deci-
sion February 5. 1908. Schrecon
COST made his entry four years age
| and had invested heavily in his
Hand and worked hard to prove up,
(which he could not do after the
company did not deliver the water.
His intention was good for that
required BY the government from
| settler. Later under the Payette-
Boise project a large part OF the
| land to be watered by the Canyer
! Canal company was withdrawn by
| the government to place IN its
project. Schrceongost's laud
was included in this withdrawal
On January ~, 1908, by specia
act of congress, an extension o.
time was granted parties having
land under the Canyon Canal
companv's irrigation system pro
viding certain requirements were
met. Schrecongest failed to live
up to the requirements simply fol
the fact that he was not notified
| in time. His counsel contendedi
in arguing the case, that the re.
auirements or extension of time
had nothing to do with these,
but that Schrecongost had liveo
ND to all duties as an entiymar
and would have proven up on HI:
land had the company delivered
water as it was under contract
to do. There are numbers of Other
entries near Emmett of the same
character as that of Schrecongos'
and the land is located in what ha:
I since become famous fruit belt
Land today in that section, without
water. is valued at 500 per acre

Democratic Congressman Pleads for
Taft's Election.

Eugene W. Leake Democratic Congressman
from the 9Th New Jersey District, was one OF the
speakers last night at the Republican meeting in
the New Star Theatre Lexington avenue and
10Th street Mr.. Leake repudiated Bryan on the
floor Of the House of Representatives and has
since been helping to elect Mr. Taft His speech
last night was largely explanation Of his atu-
tUde. He said, among other things:
\ complete justification for my refusal to accept
the Presidential candidate of my party is found IN
Mr.. Bryans words. He said in 1888:
An individual member Of party reserves at al
times the right 70 vote against a nominee OF his
party whenever in his judgment his duty to MS
country demands it"
And so. Mr.. Bryan. in your own figure OF speech,
you who have crucifed the principles Of Democ-
racy the cross Of socialism, say that VIII
serve my country under some one else.
Ex-JustiCe William n Cohen aroused consider
able enthusiasm in audience a large percentage
of which was made up Of Democrats by his impas-
stoned plea that Governor Hughes be returned to
Office. Charles II. Treat Treasurer Of the United
States upheld in vigorous language the new Al
drich currency bill and denounced Bryan's scheme
also paid a feeling tribute TO Governor Hughes
not only for his highly efficient and honest adj
Inlnistration, but for the Governors unselhshness

former political competitor in the West.

In this city tonight and said he felt that Ne

column this year by a larger majority than he
received in 1896.
Mr. Bryans addresses were more aggressive than
they have been during the week. At TeCumseh
he was vehement in his denunciations among other
things saying OF Speaker Cannon: 1T used TO be
said of noted criminal lawyer that a burglar
never entered a house to commit burglary with
out first making inquiry as TO the health of this
LAWYER and no man in Congress who plans raid
against the American people does so without first
getting a promise Of recognition from Mr.. Cannon,
the Speaker Of the House. He is backed by every
predatory corporation in this country
At TeCumseh he repeated his statement that Mr.
Roosevelt was not the father of the policies he
advocated. Name a policy OF President Roose-
veits that you want continued, he said, and
will point a policy that l advocated before
President Roosevelt ever advocated It. Why don't
you say that you Republican to continue

by Roosevelt and Cleveland Types.

Lewis Stuyvesant Chanlcr, the Democratic can
didate for Governor, received an enthusiastic
greeting from the Columbia University Demo
cratic Club yesterday afternoon. When Mr. Chan
Ter arrived the main auditorium of Havemeyer
Hall was crowded to the doors. Representative
Sulzer presided, and before the Lieutenant Gov
ernor spoke William McAdoo, former Police Com
missioner and Assembiyman J. j. Donibee made
short addresses.
Mr.. Chanler made appeal for the support OF
the Presidential candidate, saying that his in
tegrity character and sincerity of purpose de-
rnanded the vote Of every citizen.
Twenty years ago" said Mr.. Chaner, young
men who just leaving college focked In great
numbers to the Democratic standard under the In
spiration of Grover Cleveland 1t causes me sin
cere regret to note that to-day the majority OF
young men upon leaving college join the Repub-
lcan party, inspired, doubt, by the example OF
present President. We all American cti-
first, and politicians and partisans after that
AS Americans the personality of both Grover
Cleveland and Mr. Roosevelt appeals TO US
In speaking Of his own fight, Mr.. Chanler dis
paraged the continual use of the personal pro-
noun a. by Governor Hughes.
The Columbia Republican Club had planned to
have Governor Hughes's questions to Chanler read

the hall before the man appointed to the task had
taken his notes from his pocket
