LEAVES Of ABSENCE and
ASSIGNMENTS OF ENTRIES

The interior Department has just
completed regulations carrying into
active operation various laws passed at
the last session of congress affecting
settlement and settlers on government
irrigation projects, there being four
such acts, all signed by the president
on various dates in June, 1910. Section
of the $2O,O00,000 irrigation bill
contained provisions that no entryman
may hereafter go upon public lands
reserved for irrigation until the sec
rotary of the interior has established
the farm unit and fixed the water
charges and the date when nwater can
be applied.
Local land offices are instructed
In regard to this law not to recognize
any settlement on such lands made
after June %, 1910, nor to allow any
entry thereof during the period OF
their withdrawal until the conditions
fixed by the law have been complied
with. Existing entries are not al
fected by this act, and where settle
ment was made in good faith prior
to June 20, on lands embraced In
second-form Withdrawals, such enrty-
men may perfect their entries.
Leaves Of Absence.
Another act, signed June 20, grants
leave OF absence to homesteaders on
government projects. The instruc-
tons relative to this law provide that
when an entryman on a project files
In the local land office application for
leave OF absence, the application with
recommendations OF the local officers
shall be forwarded at once to the gen.
email land office. These applications
for leave must be In the form or at
ndavIts, corroborated by two Wit
nesses. and must establish the good
faith Of the entryman and set forth In
detail the character. extent and ap-
proHhnate value of the improvements
on the land. which must satisfy the
requirement OF the law that the en-
tryman has made substantial Inn
proEsments. and must show also that
water is not available for the irriga-
lion OF the entryman's land.
When sufficient showing is made
leave OF absence will be granted un-

YOUNG LADY TAKES POISON.

Miss Anna Dickens, living at the
home of her parents north of this
city, took carbolic acid, Monday It
11:30 a. M, while in state of de-
spondency resulting from serious i'll
ness.
DR.. Quick, of this city and DR..
Hull, of Star, were summoned at once
and they arrived within half an hour,
and in time to save the young lady's
life. 1t was thought she had taken
about fourth of an ounce of the
acid. She was in a critical condition
when the physicians arrived.
She is improving nicely now and is
considered out of danger. Miss Dick
ems is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Joe Dickens, we'll known in the valley
and the terrible incident is a sad blow
to them and the large circle of friends
of the family .-Nampa Record.

This wonderful increase in the
amount of fruit handled is true of any

tai number of cars handled from this
valley in 1908 was in the neighbor,
hood of 700, this year it will exceed
1000 cars easily and may reach 1900.
This means that of the total amount

irrigation canals from which the land
is to be irrigated, or in the event that
the project is abandoned by the gov
eminent, until the date of notice Of
such abandonment and the restoration
to the public domain of the lands
embraced in the entry.
The effect of granting leave of alb
sence under this law is to protect the
entry from contest for abandonment,
and by the necessary implication OF
the act the period of seven years
within which the entryman is re-
auired to submit final five years proof
will be extended and the entry will not
be subject to cancellation for fail
ure to submit proof until seven years
fromthe date of entry, exclusive OF
the period for which leave of absence
may be granted.
Assignment Of Entries.
The instructions carrying out the
act of June 20. 1910. permitting en-
trymen on government projects to
assign, read as follows:
Under the provisions OF this act
persons who have made or may make
homestead entries subject to the rec
lamatIon act may assign their entries
in their entirety at any time after I'LL
ing In the general land office satisfac-
tory proof Of residence, improvements
and cultivation for the five years re-
0uIred by the ordinary provisions OF
the homestead law. The act also pro-
yides for the assignment of homestead
entries in part. but such assignments
II made prior to the establishment OF
farm unites must be made in strict
accordance with the legal subdivisions
OF the publlcsurvey, and II made al
ter such units are established, must
conform thereto. Such assignments
which shall be made expressly subject
TO the limitations, charges, terms and
conditions Of the reclamation act.

ficers. duly noted on their records, and
forwarded to the general land office,
and the assignee in each case will be
allowed to submit proof or reclama-
ton and make payment OF the water

What Is Whiskey?
New York WORLDLY

What could be more ridiculous than a
condition of government under which the
president of the United States must waste
his time and energy in deciding such a
question as What is whiskey|
Great problems are pressing upon Mr.
Taft's attention-amendm to the Anti
Trust law, general revision of the Inter
state Commerce law, new legislation for
the conservation of national resources, a
revision of the currency system, together
with all the burdensome routine OF the
executive department and the ever,present
necessity of taking care that the laws be
faithfully executed" Yet it is Mr.. Taft
who must decide what whiskey is, and he
has been compelled to devote many days
to an examination of the volumes of briefs
submitted for his consideration.
The chief chemist in the agricultural de
partment, an Encouragement of the
United States and the solicitor-general as
well have all grappled with this great
problem of craftsmanship, and now the
chief magistrate of the nation must adju-
dictate the issue. If we are to continue
our benefcent experiments in personal
some day a president of the
United States may be obliged to abandon
for the time being all the other duties Of
his office while he determines what is
or what is chewing gum.

postmaster of Brattleboro, addressed the
meeting during the afternoon. He spoke
of the benefits derived from such meetings

phases of the rural service, in particular
the matter of patrons not providing them
selves with stamps but putting the money
into their mail boxes and leaving the car
riers to affix the stamps. Leon +. Mixer

Why Timber Owners Should Not Gu

Editor Reformer:
The advantage in the preservation of
our forests from the aesthetic and public
utility point of view is now beyond the
need of discussion. 1t remains to con-
vince the individual landowner of the di-
rect benefit to him in allowing his timber
to stand.
The sole object now in the cutting of
our forests is to convert their stumpage
value into ready cash; since all of the land
desired for tillage has been, practically,
already cleared.
Money is worth five per cent. | make
the point that timber left to grow is
worth Is per cent and submit the follow
| ing as proof of the assertion.
| Money at interest is supposed to double
itself in about Is years The stumpage
value of standing timber, aside from its
increase in value from growth, has doubled
in value during the last eight years, and
the prospect ahead is fully as bright Here,
will question but what the average an
nual growth is, at least, five per cent.
This gives the desired result of ID per
cent increase to let our timber stand.
The increase in stumpage value of course
applies to all woodlands, matured or I'M
matured. As regards growth, the yearly
increase applies to all of them also; since
the amount of virgin forest as yet I'M
touched is comparatively very small, and
with that, even, there is a ten per cent
gain to let it alone. The fact should be
strongly impressed upon the minds Of all
trees is proportioned according to their
size. Every live tree suitable for lumber
forms a new ring of growth each year
upon the outside Now the larger the
tree the more productive the new ring of |
growth, not only in quantity, but also in |
quality since the serviceable clear stock, |
which has double stumpage value, is con-
Hence we should not cut trees simply be-
cause they are large. Decaying trees and
trees of minor commercial value which
obstruct the growth of those more valu-
able, it may be well to cut.
The danger from fire to the woodlands
of Vermont is now almost entirely elm
