secretary of the interior time and
again, when finally over three years
ago word came that the squatters
had won.
They could make their homestead
filings in the United States land Of

1911.
People of Redding will remember
that on February 10 of last year %
men and women arrived here from
Siskiyou county in a bunch. They
marched up to the land office and
then marched back again. For then
as now Register C. w. Leininger told
them, "You must stand back"
Register Leininger had just re.
ceived a telegram from the depart
ment in Washington stating that the
Oklahoma country" had been thrown
into the klamath lake reclamation
project and homestead filings must
be held in allegiance until red tape
regulations could get in another
whack. There was one crumb OF
comfort.
The % Siskiyou county squatters
were told that in time they would be
given permits to make their filings
even if the land upon which they had
lived and titled so long was under
the klamath lake reclamation pro-
ject.
Uncle Sam has way of keeping
his Word-even if he is mighty slow
about 1t sometimes. Uncle Sam fin
ally got all his red tape unwound
and a few months ago sent word in
directly to the % "Oklahomers" that
on June IA, 1911, they could make
their homestead filings in the Red
ding land office.
That was good news. But the
squatters didn't come down to Red
ding in % bunch this time, as they
ala on February 10, 1910. They sent

ALL THAT Is NEEDED
Is TO TIGHTEN RODS

Under the supervision Of Paul
Leahey, the bridge builder and con
tractor the work Of tightening the
tension rods and also otherwise im-
proving the Willamette bridge is
progressing nicely and there Is no
ticeable already a vast improvement
In the condition of the bridge.
Mr.. Leahey was set at work i'm
proving the bridge about a week ago
by the board Of county commission
ers OF this county and Polk. Com
pIints had been made to both boards
relative to the swaying of the bridge,
II swaying from a half to a foot
whenever a load of any size passed
over it. After an inspection Of it Mr..
Leahey gave it as his opinion that
all that was needed was the tighten
ing Of the tension rods, and that he
was correct is borne out by the fact
that the work 50 far done has put it
in a fair condition.
There probably remains another
weeks work to be done and when it
is completed, the bridge will be in
an excellent condition.

Would Donate Parts
of Maine as Relics

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-Portions Of
the battleship Maine, now being cleared
of mud and debris in Havana harbor, are
to be donated to cities, patriotic societies
and the survivors or heirs of survivors of
the Maine, under arplan presented to the
house today in the urgent deficiency bill
The bill carries $2,270,000. 1t authorizes
an additional appropriation of sSO,OO0 for
raising the Maine, making a total appro-
priation Of 100000 for that purpose.
The bill would authorize the secretary
Of war to give some portion of the
wreck" to the republic of Cuba, for in
corporation in a public monument to be
erected In Havana.
President Taft and his cabinet today
were given a demonstration of how the
Maine was blown up in Havana harbor.
Rear Admiral Vreeland and Chief Con-
structor Watt of the navy. both mem
bers of the Maine investigating board.
staged the show.
A model OF the Maine, constructed in
Havana and brought here, was placed on
the mahogany table in the cabinet room,
and Mr.. Taft and his advisers watched
closely while the two naval officers ex-
planned.
First, the Maine was shown riding at
anchor in Havana harbor. Suddenly Ad-
miral Vreeland pulled a string or two and
the model battleship was a ruin in exact
reproduction of the Maine as it lay at the
bottom after the explosion.

Big Insurance Case
Before High Court

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1e.-The con-

and accident insurance policies, involv-
ing millions OF dollars, is claimed TO
hinge upon the outcome of q legal con-
test that opened in the supreme court OF
the United States today over the pay
ment of a life insurance policy carried
BY J. Samuel McCue, former mayor of
Charlottesville, Va, who was hanged in
1906 for wife murder The murder was
one of the most sensational in the crimi-
nal annals OF Virginia.
The Northwestern Mutual Life Insur-
anee company. in its brief arguing that
it should not pay the policy. declared
McCue's children had no right to realize
on the $4,000 policy because the insured
father died on the gallows in expiation
Of crime.
IL contended the United States circuit
court of appeals for the Fourth circuit
had erred in holding that the policy was
a special contract made in Wisconsin,
where the insurance company was domi-
ciled and according to the Wisconsin law
was not rendered null and void and that
the courts refusal 10 interpret the policy
according 90 general commercial law"
would result In great confusion in con-
STRUNG policies.

WESTERN FEDERATION GETS
CONTROL OF UNION PROPERTY

LEAD, g D., Dec. 1s-(special )-soma
mystery attaches to the recent action
OF the Western Federation of Miners In
securing control OF the property of the
different miners unions in the Black
Hills The transfer OF all the real prop
erty OF the Lead, Central, Terry, Malt
land and Deadwood unions was recorded
in different deeds in the register OF
deeds office in Deadwood, the considera-
tion not being named. The total prop
erty OF all the unions exceeds $4,000 and
heretofore has been mostly held by
trustees for the unions. President Charles
II. Meyer OF Denver came up to attend
10 the details OF the transfer and act for
the federation, but no explanation OF the
transfers at this time has been made
and the exact reason cannot be learned.
although 1t is supposed that money ad-
vanced By the federation here during the
labor troubles has some connection with
the present deals,
