Wireless Across Continent.

To cross the continent with a
wireless message starting from Port
land or Seattle and rellayed at Spo-
kane, Butte and Fargo, to connect at
st. Paul with the Continental Wire
less system of the Great Lake ands
to be carried along to New York IS
the ambitious plan of Thc;Ads f.
Clark, the first man who ever sold
Manager of the Continental system.
Clark Is now in Seattle erecting a
station, and says that within two or
three months he will have this city
and the other two centers of the
northwest connected with the east by
wireless. The Continental system
already controls the wireless system
of the great Lakes, with stations in
fifty cities and on 200 steamships.
Clark is the wireless inventor with
an eye to business. He was selling
apparatus for exhibit purposes within
a few weeks after the first success
full demonstrations of wireless tel
egraphy had been made, and he has
been making money out of the bus
mess ever since. He promises trans
cheaper than the wire companies of
fer The Continental Company will
meet with opposition in the northwest
in the United wireless, which has sta
tons on a number of ships on the
Pacific, but does little overland bus
mess. Clark has also perfected wire
less telephone instrument, but admits
that at present it has not reached the
point of commercial efficiency. The
distances over which it will operate
are too small which is true of every
every wireless telephone yet invent
ed. Clark has Instruments with him
in Seattle, and he believes that in
time the wireless telephone will be
as practical as the telegraph is now.
Mr.. Fred Fl. Shoemaker has been
made local agent for the wireless
system. 4

LUMBERMEN PROTEST

Lumbermen Of the northwest have
been entering repeated protests a.
gainst the reports of the Washington
Legislative Investigating Committee
which declared that the State land
office has in years past sold state tin
Der land for much less than its mar.
ket value. The lumbermen assert
in reply that the value of timber
lands has risen so rapidly in this stat
during ten years, that there is no
comparison between the price al
which State lands sold then and
market values to-day. Mr.. George
Long of the Weyerhaeuser Timber
Company of Tacoma, sites the case
Of 4S0 acres purchased from the State
in 1901 located in section 16, town
ship 16, range east for $7,0S7.5, or,
$l4.76 an acre. The same company
pought up a lot or homestead claims
in the same township at the same
time, and paid an average of SLIT
an acre for total of 4,751 acres of
private land Thus the state has re-
ceived more than the market price.
OF course, such prices sound laugh
able to-day, but they represented goo
values at that time. If the State had
kept its land until today 1T would have
profited exceedingly, just as the lum-
Der company did by buying when tim
Der was cheap. But lumbermen don't
like to have the investigating com
mittee infer that they have jobbed
the State at any time

REFUSED TO SPRAY ORCHARD

The State of Idaho VS.. Fred Brock
man was the title CT case tried be-
fore Probate Judge Bowen, Wednes-
day morning. Mr.. Brockman was
charged with maintaining a nuisance
in his orchard, complaint being filed
by Fruit Inspector Featherstone.
The trial was without jury. The
inspector claimed that Mr. Brock
man had been ordered to spray his
orchard, but that he had not done
SO, and that his trees are infected
with the San Jose scale. Mr.. Brock
man claimed that he looked through
his orchard and found two. or three
trees that were infected with the
scale. These he dug up. Mr.. Feath
erstone informed him again Tuesday
that he must spray. He states that h
informed the inspector if he would
show him the trees that are infected
he would destroy them, and that this
the inspector refused to do, and
caused his arrest. Judge Bowen de-
cided in favor of the defendant and
the case was dismissed
1t Is stated the case will come up
again shortly but in a different form.
1t is somewhat in the nature of test
case of the horticultural laws of the
state, which it is claimed Mr.. Brock
man violated when he refused to spra
his orchard Signal.

Possessory Notice insufficient

A state possessory notice is in
sufficient upon whihc to hold a valid
claim to a tract of land according
to decision handed down by Judge
! e. l.. Bryan of the Seventh judicial
district in the case of Laura E. Will
kins VS.. c. C. Logan. Although the
plaintiff who sought to eject the de-
PENDANT had been in possession of
the unsurveyed land involved involved
approximately 20 years the defendant
who made actual settlement upon the
tract last January Is recognized as
as the rightful claimant. The ranch
has for years been known as the Kit
ty wilkins ranch.
The ruling, it is believed, will eff
feet many similar tracts of land in
the state which are held under the
state possessory law.
Judge Bryan's ruling. which is in
the form of a memorandum decision
is as follows:
I'm re Laura E. wilkins VS.. c. c.
Logan. This Is an action for the pos
session of certain lands in Owyhee
county, Idaho Plaintiff in this case
seeks to recover the possession of
possessory notice filed pursuant to
the laws of this state. Defendant
claims right of p9ssessNn as a Set
States
81 thinke it may be conceded that
the evidence shows the plaintiff has
has compiled with the state laws re-
lative to possessory claims upon the
the public domain. However, am
unable to see how filing upon the
public domain of the United States
under state statute can vest any
rights as against actual settler under
the laws of the United States.
1t is commended by counsel for the
which plaintiffs filing was made was
passed for the purpose of comforting
jurisdiction upon the state courts to
determine right of possession of pub
lie lands as between citizens of this
state claiming the same without actu
settlement Defendant further main
tains that in order to hold under ;
possessory filing as against the ac-
tual settlement Of qualified home
stead entryman the plaintiff must
make and maintain settlement
of the defendant.
az am inclined to think that this
theory Of the law is the correct one
and that the filing Of possessory
notice upon unsurveyed domain does
not confer any rights as against &C
tual bona fide settlement under the
government In my judgement the
ceses of Tarpy VS.. Andrew Madsen,
United States Supreme Court report,
book 44,page 1912; Garfield VS..
United States 1877, United States II,
Frisbie VS.. Whitney, 9 .Walling 1877,

WANTS TO COME HERE
Farmer Has Suffered Four Crop Fail ures in Kansas and Thinks He's
 Had Enough,

M. H. Howard of Hatton sends The Star a poem written by nephew who is living in Western Kansas. The poem, on the lack of rain, rain, rain that it describes, gets very close to the condition of that place often re- ferred to as the future abode of the unreeenerate of earth's population.
 Getting down to facts, it is stated that the author has a 200 acre farm in Western Kansas, for which five years ago he could readily have gotten $10,000. During the past four years. because of drouths there have been four crop failures, and the owner now writes that he is trying to sell every thing he has there for 5000 and come to Polk county and start over again, where he can be certain of raising enough to keep his family every year.

INTERESTING PROBLEM
T. P. Fulton of Cove, Almost SO Years Young. to Rebuild Old Aban-
 doned Farm.

Written for The Star by Special Request.
 In the Cove items recently, mention was made of that fact had exchanged my town property for a 4O-acre farm, known as the Forehand place, and as some of your readers may want to know what l am going to do with one of the worst worn-out, run down, di- lapidated places in the western part of Polk county. l will give brief out line of my plan of procedure.
 In the first place permit me to state that what is known as the Forehand farm, adjoining the townsite on the north is part of one of the oldest farms in the county that was known in early days as the J. M. Ashford homestead. B. II. Barton tells me that he has heard his father say that when he moved to this locality from Kentucky in 1847, the Ashford farm had been worked for several years. MT. Forehand got the farm in 1881 and lived upon it until the early part of this year. The land has not been cul- tiyated for two years, and is badly overgrown with sassafras sprouts, bushes, briers and rank weeds. It is worn down to corn and cotton crop frazzle, and in some places cut with gullies that show clear to the bottom of the deep red clay sub-soil. It has been over-run all summer with long horn cows and razorback hogs, and what few fruit trees that are on the place look like they had been twisted and splintered by cyclone. In fact, the whole farm presents about as sor- ry spectacle as you will see in riding for 100 miles, and the task of restor- ing the land to it's original fertility smoothing down the rough spots and not only molding it into a model fruit farm but making modern and even attractive country home out of it might seem stupendous undertak- ing to most men of my age, for I will be so years old next November, but somehow do not dread the job. My arm is still strong. my health good, my appetite something fierce and fl the good Lord lets me live for five years longer will leave a monument to my pos:erity that will possibly in- duce them to erect one over me.
 The first investment l made after getting my deed to the farm was in a thoroughbred Red Duroc pig ' months old and weighing close to 200 pounds. She cost me $25, but like the mans S 40 cent butter, she is ''wuth it. . Last winter 1 .chewed the raj" with my anti-hog law friends from a stand point of theory. and l am going to dc a little demonstration work in that line.
 The first work l did on the farm was to rake out a big wagon load of com. post from under and old shed and cover it up securely. and l am now cutting sprouts and filling up gullies to beat the band Nuff sed for this time. T. P Fulton.
