NEW RULING BY DEPARTMENT
OP INTERIOR.

Nv a decision that has recently
been promulgated by. the Interior
department, the conditions under
which homestead entries may be
committed have been changed in
one important particular.
Formerly an entry could be COM
muted with only six months actual
residence. Three years ago that was
changed SO that IA months actual
residence was required, and later the
construction of the law was made
still more strict by requiring that
eight months of the IA should be
reasonably continuous during the
year Immediately proceeding proof
The new decision Is to the erect
| that there must be IA months con-
| tinuous residence Immediately pre-
| ceeding proof. The term "continu-
Gus" is somewhat qualified by the
other reasonably continuous" but
the effect of the new construction IS
to make communication depend, In SO
far as residence is concerned, upon
actual residence of "A months Just
before proof is offered.
In passing upon the case in which
this decision was rendered, the sec
rotary used this language:
From the above decision 1t Is an
parent that the period of IA months
stated in the statute must be nex'
preceding submission of commute
ton proof. Further. the residence
required under section 1901, Revised
Statutes, is a substantially continu
/, Gus personal presence on the land.
In the case in which that decision
was rendered, the entryman had
leave OF absence of year that brok
e his IA months In two, but the prin
: ciple of law announced is applicant
to all cases.

Secretary of the Interior, Richard
A. Ballinger, visited Boise Sundey.
While in Boise Secretary Ballinger
said: ut is true that am going
to Washington to attend a series OF
Cabinet meetings which will last
about one week. But all of the
members of the Cabinet have been
called by the President to discuss
various matters pertaining to all of
the departments. l do not know
that anything affecting me personally
will be discussed at ALL"
In this way Secretary Ballinger
fatty denied the report recently sent
out from Washington and suppos. dly
from an authoritative source, to the
effect that he was Fastening to the
National Capital to attend a meeting
of the Cabinet September 26, and on
the three days ensuing, when he
would demand that his Republican
colleagues either sustain or condemn
him.
When asked whether he had read
the dispatch referred to, Ballinger
said:
Yes, l read every word of it. But
IL is absolutely without foundation
so far as l am concerned. Such a
proposal has never even occurred to
me. The report is silly. 1t Is alb
surd and l simply laughed at it."
When asked whether. he had
preached the subject to any of his
Cabinet colleagues regarding the
submission of the question of resign
ing or remaining in the Cabinet to
the Republican members of the Cab
met, Mr.. Ballinger said:
THAT is all rot, and l won't dis,

asked.

Suppose you live In any Of the
unpaved residential sections of the
city and think II would be good
scheme for pavement to be laid In
your territory. How do you 90 about
getting it?
Why, you say, that's an easy one.
You are supposed to get together
with your neiehbors, draw up a Pc
tition and present it to the council,
stating that you want a pavement

pavement you want; then, after the
bouncil has looked into the matter

erty benefited to justify the ex-
pense, a paving district will be es-
tabIished and the work will be
done.
Theoretically, this Is the correct
method of inaugurating a paving
district. But some Of the people liv-
Ing in the Cannon Hill district, with
the kind assistance of the board of
works, have discovered a much bet
ter scheme, and one which is a
whole lot easier worked .....
When these people decided that It
would be a good scheme to have
their district improved they didn't
bother about getting up any petit
tion. Instead, just year ago this
month, they called quiet little
session of the so-called Cannon Hill
Improvement association. at which
meeting, which was held in the fire
station at the corner of Eighth ave-
me and Monroe street, there were
just 13 people present.
"THE SOLID sEvEN."
II The paving proposition was taken
IA and discussed pro and con. All
of the 13 were in favor of paving,
but they failed to agree upon the
nature of the paving wanted. Three
men wanted wood blocks, one
wanted bitulithic, two wanted vitri-
fled brick and the other seven stood
for asphalt pavement.
So, through the efforts of this
seven, headed by Fred Phair. the
meeting adopted resolution de-
claring that the people of the Can
non Hill district in public meeting
assembled, had decided that they
wanted an asphalt pavement put
down throughout the district.
Now, in the usual Course of
events, the next move would have
been for these 13 so-called repre-
sentatives of the Cannon Hill peo-
pie to get up petition and take 1t
