HOMESTEAD rights
INTERIOR DEPARTMENT GIVES A
BROAD DECISION.
Assistant Secretary of Interior Make S
Ruling That Gives a Bona rjde
Settler a Fair Chance. Decides
AGAINST Narrow View as to Mean.
ina Of Law.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-Assistant
Secretary Pierce, of the department Of
the interior, has officially decided that
a settler who builds house, barn, a
shed and hen-hOuse on his claim in
the Olympics; who brings an orchard
into bearing there and also grows on
the place potatoes, turnips, onions,
beans, strawberries. raspberries and
oats, is really proceeding in good faith
to establish a homestead, and is not
trying to steal something from Uncle
Sam. A special agent some time ago
decided to the contrary.
BY reason of the new decision John
c. Paff, who settled on the land in Oc-
tober, 1901, is to get his patent. The
farm is located in the foothills off
Hood canal, in jefferson county, not
far from Brinnon.
Paff's troubles began when his
claim was thrown into the Olympia
national forest in 1907. When he
started to make final proof he ran up
against the special agents, who main
tanned that he had not established a
lawful residence; that he had done no
cultivation; that the land contained
about 100000 feet of timber and was
unfit for cultivation. In other words,
the special agents charged that Paff
was trying to get lot of timber in the
guise of homestead entry.
At the hearing Paff showed that he
had rejected heavier timbered quar-
ter section to get this as being more
fit for agriculture, and he demonstrate
ed his residence and the fact that he
was farming. The general land office

ROOSEVELT FOR BEVERIDGE.
Former President Will Take the
Stump for Progressive
Indiana Senator.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, July 9.-Fol-
lowing close on the heels of the Poin-
dexter incident at Oyster Bay, comes
the announcement that Col. Roose-
welt will take the stump in the cause
of insurgency. The insurgent for
whom the Colonel will speak is Sena-
tor Albert J. Beveridge, of Indiana,
one of the most ardent 'progressives"
among the Republicans in the upper
house of Congress. Next to Senators
Albert b. Cummins, of Iowa, and Rob-
ert M. LaFollette, of Wisconsin, Bev-
eridge was considered the most in
surging insurgent of the entire Senate.
The date and place for Col. Roose-
velt's speech in Indiana have not been
fixed.
Col. ROOsevelt's announcement that
personally he would go into the field
in behalf of an insurgent Senator and
the statement that he was in complete
accord with the principles for which
Miles PoindeXter, of Washington,
stands, are regarded as politically
more significant than anything that
has come from Oyster Bay since the
return of the former President.
Senator Beveridge has placed him.
self squarely against President w. H.
Taft, Senators Nelson w. Aldrich and
Serene E. Payne on the tariff issue
which, he declares, is the worst tariff
law ever enacted" Beveridge fought
the bill to the last ditch in the Senate
and was one of the few Republicans
who voted with the Democrats when
the measure came up for final passage
| Not only was Beveridge active
/ against the tariff measure, but he
made bitter attack on the admins
tration railroad bill, joining the insur
gents in voting for every amendment
to the Presidents pet legislation.

LIEN AGAINST VESSEL.
New Federal Law Makes Such Action
Possible to Recover for Sup
plies Furnished.

OLYMPIA, July S.-A copy of the
new federal law relating to actions in
rem and providing that persons, firms
or corporations furnishing vessels
with supplies, etc, shall have right
to file lien against the vessel, in
stead of the owners thereof, in case
compensation for the supplies is not
received, has been received at the Of
fee of the secretary of state.
The act was passed at the recent
session of congress and is regarded as
a law of vital Importance to the Paci.
fic Coast, where water shipments are
made. Congress provided that this
law should take precedence over all
state statutes relating to the same
subject, and in the future anyone de.
string to bring an action to recover
on supplies furnished may ask for
Judgment against the vessel instead
Of against the owning company or in
dividual.

This is Pythian week in Aberdeen.
From tomorrow morning until Friday
night the city belongs to the visiting
knights of Pythias and Pythian Sis
ters, in attendance at the Grand
Lodges, whose conventions of four
days begin tomorrow morning.
The visiting knights began arriving
Saturday, and every train yesterday
brought delegations from all parts OF
the state, and the local committee es-
rives there will be fully 5000 visitors,
including the Pythian Sisters.
The local lodge has been working
hard for weeks past in arranging pro-
per entertainment for the grand
lodges, and to house them was not the
least difficult problem. The hotels
were filled by reservations week ago
and a committee has spared no ef-
forts in securing rooms in private
houses for their guests during the
sessions. They are still short, and
anyone having rooms that can possi-
bly, be spared will aid the reputation
of Aberdeen for hospitality by notify
ing Mrs. S. X. Bowes, for the Pythian
Sisters, or w. w. MaXey for the
knights.
The city has been handsomely dec
grated for the occasion, the street
decorations of the Fourth having been
left in place. These are supplemented
by the Pythian colOrs, red, blue and
yellow, and number of welcome
banners strung across the streets. The
Pythian temple, on First street, is
beautifully decorated, inside and out,
in the colors of the order, and will be
brilliantly illuminated every night dur
ing the session.
The interesting public features of
the gathering will be the parade of the
grand lodge, Knights and Pythian Sis
ters, tomorrow night, the competitive
drill at Electric park tomorrow after
noon, and the parade of the Dramatic
Order. Knights of Korassan, We'd
nesday evening. Fifty tents have
been erected on l street, be-
tween Market and Wishkah, for the
use of the companies of the Uniform
