coed after finding the entry was


contested.
In October, 1909, Fields cleared
some of the land of sagebrush.
In January, 1910, his boys clear
ed some more. A small shack
used as a barn was constructed
on the entry in 1910.
We do not think the clearing
OF sagebrush and building of a
barn can be held to protect this
entryman from this contest. That
work was done long after the
contest was initiated and long aft
er expiration of period within
which final proof should have
been offered.
The only question therefore for
consideration is whether or not
this entryman is protected from
this contest by reason of his sec
ond application for extension of
time. That application was made
on Aug. 3, 1909, just one day be-
fore the expiration of the extern
sion that has been granted. The
so-called contract with Coberly,,,,
on which the second application
was based, seems to have been
very imperfect to say the least.
Fields paid Coberly 800, but
there is nothing to indicate that
ne made a contract as to any
time when the work should be
begun or when it should be fin
lshed. Nothing was done toward
the well, between the
time this payment was made and

pllcatlon and the issuing of not
Ice on this contest. Indeed moth
ing mad been done when the test
lmony was taken in this case.
The proposed well remains still
a more or less indefinite project.
The act of March 90, 1908, I'M
der which the application for
of time was made, pro-
Vldes that an extension may be
granted if it is shown that the
entryman was delayed in the work
OF reclamation by reason of de-
lay IN construction of the irriga-
ton works from which he propo-
SEES to lrrlgate his land. In this
case, the proposed irrigation work

years before the application was

Bruneau Company Long Dead.

Decision was rendered by tn
register and receiver Of the Boise
land office Tuesday in the cas-,
of James X. Loree against Aug
ust Fields, in favor of the former
The cancelled entry involves des
ert land entry No. 2135, seria
034S, for the east half Of the
southwest quarter, lots 3 and 4
section 81, township 6 south
range 5 east, and lots 3, 4 and 5
and the southeast quarter Of the
northwest quarter of section 6
township 7 south, of range 5 east
Boise meridian.
Owing to the technical points
that are thereby settled as prece,
dents, the opinion is important
One of the features is the flat
statement that the Bruneau
LAND 4 Irrigation company has
been dead since 1905" that this
concern is extinct and has no
successor. " Of particular import
ance also is the settlement of
complicated questions relating to
second extension for time by the
cOntcstee.
The decision of the register
and receiver is in part asfollows {:
This entry was made Aug. TO-,
1904 The entryman made an
application for extension of three
years within which to complete
the reclamation of the land, and
by letter &C" of Jan. Is. 1909,
he was granted an extension of
one year from Aug. 4, 1908. On
Aug. B, 1909, he filed an applica-
ton for an additional extension
of one year, which was forward
ed to the commissioner of the
general land office.
On Aug. 5, 1909, this contest
ant filed his affidavit of contest,
alleging that the land has not
been reclaimed, no land plowed
or sagebrush cleared, no bitches
built or water conveyed to this
land; in fact, no improvements
Of any kind have been made on
this desert entry. Application
for one year S extension of time
in which to reclaim the desert
entry having been granted by
the government land office, which
year S extension expired Aug. 4,
1907
This affidavit of contest was
suspended in this office owing to
a misapprehension of the intent
of circular sc" of Oct.9, 1908,
the commissioner of the general
land office being notified of the
tendency of such contest. By
letter CO. of Jan. II, 1910, we
We're directed to issue notice on
the contest, which was done Jan.

The testimony shows that moth
ing has ever been done towards
a well on this land. CO.
berly was engaged in the fall of
1909 in sinking well on a claim
held by one Marhofer. He did
not get that completed. In Jan
nary 1910, this entryman went
to the mining camp of Jarbidge
and returned to the locality of

The Emperor William must be
having some very bad moments
just now as the result of the at
tacks made upon him in the Ger,

find out in time that the doctrine
Of divine right is even more out
Of date now than it was in the
time Of the Stuarts and the Rour-
bons, but he need not fear shat
his fate will be that of Charles |
and Louis XVI. Times have
changed and though the spirit of
liberty and democracy is as keen
as ever it expresses itself in less
sanguinary form than in former
days. This is made possible be
cause kings today have learned
the lesson conveyed in the tragic
end of some of their ancestors.
