Mrs. Arizona owens, who is walking
/ from S%hOshonc, Wyo., to Denver, on
a wager, left here this morning for

Journey. she lost count of the days and
when she arrived at Hartville june

the west, involved in its ownership is
the Hearst estate, the Texas estate and

ing the government in the dam site

involved Is close to a half million dol
lars.
The land TO be secured includes the
actual site Of the dam and also the
reservoir. In addition
the right-of-way for the railroad and
u number Of small tracts considered

Commissioner bennett in Re-

Drastic Remedy for Friction
Between Officials.

| tBy Morning Journal Special Leased Wirel
Washington, Dec. 4.-Following lib
| eral appropriations by congress for
the protection of the public lands, re-
sulting in a material increase in the
number of special agents, there was
turned into the treasury in the fiscal
year 1903, s403, 444, an excess Of
$304.755 over the preceding year. ac-
eordlng TO the annual report of Com
missioner Fred Dennett of the general
Office.
Land restored to the public domain
aggregated 1,279,310 acres, an in
crease of 1850 over last year.
Commissioners bennett expresses
the hope that congress will settle once
and for all the question of how the
development of the Alaska coal fields
can be accomplished in a legal fash
ion
There is no question, he says, that
section 3 of the act of May rs, 1908,
designed TO encourage the Develop
ment of coal deposits in Alaska and
intended TO prevent the passage of the
lands into the hands of monopolies,
has accomplished its Any
legislation contemplating a sale or
lease of larger areas than $40 acres
as provided in the law of 1908, the
commissioner says, should contain an
anti-monopoly clause similar to the
then enacted.
There is friction between the regis
tiers and receivers of land offices in
many localities and the commissioner
says the positions should be abolished
and in their stead provision made for
an administrator for the offices.
