Department of the Interior,
 United States Land Office,
 Phoenix, Ariz., Feb. 15, 1909. c. G. Engelhardt, protestant. versus
 Santa Fe Pacific Railroad company,
 by O. l.. Gear, attorney. Involving
 the southwests quarter of the south-
 east quarter of section B, township
 10 north, range 6 west Forest lieu
 selection No. HASA.
 Decision of the register and receiver.
 The hearing in this case was had December 23, 1908, at this office, pur- suant to an order of the honorable commissioner of the general land of- flee. dated october 13, 1908, R" based upon an affidavit of contest filed by the protestant, Engelhardt, charging that the land embraced in the said scrip location was at the date of the location of it's filing. March 1, 1906, occupied adversely to the locator, and that the allowance of the selection would deprive the other occupants of the land of lawfully vested rights. that the land in question is at the junction of two railroad lines, and is pros pective center of population.
 The evidence in this case clearly shows that on and prior to March |. 1906, when the forest lieu selection was filed, the southwest quarter of the southeast quarter of section 8, town ship 10 north, range west, was oc- cupied and used for the purposes of trade and business. That a portion of the settlement known as Congress Junction is located upon this land, and that the postoffice is in the store of O. l.. Gear, on the land in question. It appears that, with the exception of two frame residence buildings owned by the protestant. the buildings are owned by Gear. having been pur- chased by him. or his wife, or erected by him, and that the occupants there of are his or her tenants. but conduct ing business in their own interests Gear >jn 1899 purchased the holdings of the Zieger Brothers, who were then conducting a store and hotel on the land. it being then unsurveyed. Gear is himself engaged. in business on the land. but testified that his business had fallen off considerably since 1901 1902. when 1t was about $10,00O. or s12000 per month, it being now gen orally about S2,000 per month.
 The Act of June 1. 1897 (3O Stat ., 34. 36), restricted the selection of lands under said act to vacant land open to settlement" By the subsequent act of June 6. 1900 (31 Stat, 614). the selec- tion is confined to vacant surveyed and non mineral public lands which are subject to homestead and entry" Land occupied for the purposes of trade and business. and not for 'agri- cultural purposes. is not subject to homestead entry. and therefore is not subject to selection under the act of June I. 1897, and we so hold.
 Thirty days from receipt hereof are allowed for repeal to the commissioner of the general land office. If no ap- peal is taken, the case will be for warded to the honorable commissioner for appropriate action.
 Very respectfully.

MAIL SERVICE ID BE
 ESTABLISHED ON M. & ?.
A Long Needed Improvement Has Finally Been Ordered.

For a long time Postmaster Mo CIintock has been trying to secure the establishment of a railway mail service on the NJ. X P. railroad. In this he has had the favorable recom- mendation and support of Chief Clerk Moore of Los Angeles. Yesterday MT. McClintock received notice that the service had been ordered as soon as it can be inaugurateG. The M. X P. company is expecting at least two new mail cars, and the service will he to some extent in connection with the Winkelman run.
 The establishing of this service is not merely for the working of tran sient mail between Phoenix and Mari copa. but will be supplementary to the Phoenix office in that the postal clerk will work" the incoming Phoe- nix mail as soon as he receives it at Maricopa. That means that he will separate all that is plainly marked with street and number into the re spective districts served by the PhOe- nix. carriers. so that as soon as the mail arrives it will be ready to turn over to the carriers
 That portion of the mail which is not properly and fully addressed will of course be thrown in for separation and distribution by the office clerks. as at presents It will therefore be apparent that the necessity of ad dressing letters fully in respect to street in number will be more impor- tant than ever. if those who receive them get prompt service. It is be- lieved this service will enable the car riers to make their morning delivery about an hour earlier. which will be an added convenience to the business all rafroue

PROSPEROUS PEORIA.

The Peoria Herald Transcript of last |
Friday was an immense 10o-page In
dustrial number crowded with inter
esting and valuable information con-
corning the attractions, advantages,
progress and prosperity of that lead
ing Illinois community Four years
ago a fifty-six page paper issued by
the Herald transcript was of sufficient
size to tell the facts about Peoria, but
the growth of the city since then has
been such as to require fol ty-four more
pages to recount it's gloriea. In addi-
ton to the usual news sections there
are whole sections devoted to Peoria's
beauties, Peoria's big and little clubs,
Peoria's building record for the past
year, its first skyscraper, its great
factory roll its distilling and brewing
interests and other institutions and
activities. The showing is hand
some one and must inevitably attract
additional attention to Peoria as
splendid place in which to live and
engage in business. The advertising
| patronage which made the production
| of such creditable number possible
/ is in keeping with the well-known en-
1 terprise of the business community.
Almost every manufacturing concern
and wholesale and retail firm in the
city is represented in the edition. In
the editorial section George Fitch
summarizes few of Peoria's glories
in brief paragraphs, of which the fol-
lowing are samples:
Peoria has the best climate in the
world When it is warm it Is sc
warm that all the coal magnates are

THE commission PLAN.

One OF the most important CIVIC I
achievements of the year is The spread |
OF the commission form OF govern |
ment in Kansas. According 10 re-
ports from that state the prospects
are it will be thoroughly commission
led III another year.
The state legislature of Kansas. IN
obedience t. public sentiment follow
ing the benefits derived by Leayen-
worth, which adopted an old commits
sion plan law two years ago-amend-
ed the old law last January to permit
cities of the first and second class to
have the commission form In the
main the new law gives the power to
municipalities to regulate corpora
tons, with the Initiative and non-par-
tisan elections. The recall applies
only to the larger cities.
Since the new law went into ope.s
ton a number of cires have adopted
the commission government. lndepen-
dence, Wichita, Hutchinson and An
thony adopted it last April. In July,
Kansas City, Kan, adopted the law
by decisive majority and Coffey-
vile adopted it last month. Topeka
and Parsons expect to adopt it in No
vember. and three cities, Ottawa,
Lawrence and Salina, are preparing
to vote On it next year.
One of the active agencies in the
campaign in Kansas City was the
Mercantile club. commercial organi-
zation with membership that in

sioners will be chosen mex. April to
carry on the municipal affairs of Kan
sas City, and being the largest city
in the state it will have the advantage
of the initiative, referendum and re-
call.
Apropos the popularity of the COM
mission plan in Kansas the Springfield
(.ll.) Register reports that it is being
received with favor by the business
men of the cities in that state who
have examined its merits. In Peoria,
Springfield, Rockford, Galesburg, Mo-
line and some other cities in Illinois
| the business men have organized or
are organizing in the interest of the
/ commission system, and are urging
| Governor Deneen to incorporate in his
call for a special session the commits
sion plan as one of the measures to
/ be considered. In Peoria the Board
of Trade and Commercial club have
I endorsed the plan and are --orking for
it In Springfield, as yet, the Cham

ter is informed, have not considered
it. 1t should be brought up and dis
