BROADLY CONSTRUED
Entrymen May Reside Away
From Farm if They Take
Care of 1t.
Special to The Tribune.


WASHINGTON, Sept. Frank
Pierce. acting secretary OF the interior.
has written a letter to Senator Reed
Smoot constituting the large homestead
act In so far as 1t provides, "That after
man shall reside within such distance OF
the land as will enable him successfully
TO farm the same"
Senator Smoot had advised the depart
ment that many persons who made such
entries at remote distances from the
land entered" Naturally, they have be-
come anxious as to how the interior de-
partment will hold as to their compli-
anoe with the statute.
w. l.. Roberts OF Salt Lake, one OF the
entrymen, raised the question. Senator
Smoot suggested that the department FIX
time rather than n distance limit. and
to make it incumbent upon entrymen 10
be within twelve hours ride by rail- OF
their homesteadS. The Salt Lake land
Office has construed this act literally.
and reported 10 the interior department
that seventy per cent OF those who have
made entry up TO the present time are
residents of cities and towns remote In
distance from the lands entered"
| Secretary Pierce upholds the construc-
ton of the law given by the Salt Lake
land office. but declines to accept Sena-
| tor Shoots suggestion of an arbitrary
, time limit. Each case, the department
holds must rest on the circumstances.
II the homesteader personally farms the
land entered or personally superyises the
cultivation and Improvement OF the
same" the department Will not inquire
into his place OF residence.

Special to The Tribune.

Massa, was arrested on a charge OF theft.

day. her fianoe. John w RIDER who had
come 10 Ogden from Denver 10 marry her,
was making q fruitless search through
out the city for his bride-to-be When
he finally learned that the girl was locked
in jail awaiting trial for stealing a gold
watch from Mrs. c. p. Dye and pawn
ing 1T. all spark OF affection for the girl
is said to have fed from his bosom and
back TO the mile high city he went as
fast as a train could carry him.
Miss King Is of an optimistic frame OF
mind. She said at the county jail today
that she was sure Rider would listen to
reason and that he would return and
marry her soon as she obtains her
liberty from Jail. The two girls were
arraigned before Judge J. D. Murphy
Of the city court this morning, but on
account OF their youthfulness were turned
over to the Juvenile court.
The Massa girl Is married and there is
some doubt whether the Juvenile court
can dispose OF her case for that reason.
as she is supposed to be beyond the juris-
diction OF a court handling cases against
minors exclusively. Both girls are still
at the county jail awaiting some action
from the proper authorities.

adopted, but all thus far have been
Of no avail The weevIl exists upon the
tender lucern leaves about two weeks
after Matching From then their work Is
most noticeable. They begin operations
at the root and gradually eat their way
to the top. and soon the leaves wither
and the sprout is lifeless.
Many methods have been adopted to

eventually be eaten.
