DO NOT HAVE TO PAY

Settlers on national forests un-
der the act of June II, 1906, will
no longer have to pay for sur
vey, as they have had to do in
the past on unsurveyed lands,
when the claim goes to patent,
said register AL Kircher to the
Star. This relieves many of the
settlers under the act, commonly
known as the forest homestead
law, from a burdonsome expense.
Relief from this burden has been
brought about by an agreement
between the secretary of the in
terror and the secretary Of agri-
culture, whereby surveys made
by employees of the forest service
will be under the supervision OF
the surveyor general so that they
can be accepted by the general
land office as final.
Hitherto it has been necessary
TO make two surveys. Under the
terms Of the forest homestead
law, national forest land can not
be opened to settlement unless
the secretary Of agriculture has
recommended to the secretary of
the interior that it be listed for
settlement, and listing is not
possible until a survey has been
made. The secretary Of agricul-
ture has no authority to list any
land unless an examination has
shown that the land is more suit
able for agriculture than for
forest purposes. So when land
is applied for, employees Of the
department of agriculture are
sent to ascertain it's character,
and at the same time make a
survey Of it by metes and bounds
If a survey is necessary.
This survey however could not
be accepted by The land depart
n!ent as q basis for a patent, be-
cause only surveys under the
supervision o. the surveyor gen
eral car, under the law be ac-
cepted as q basis for passing
title. In consequence, under the
procedure provided for when
patent is sought to unsuryeyed
lands, the settler on land within
q national forest has had to pay
for second survey. This has
been felt to be especially hard
because it has subjected settlers
on national forests to an expense
which settlers Oh surveyed public

New York, Feb 16.-Pressed by
the Rockefeller and Kuhn-Loeb inter-

hnQuish the presidency of the Mis-

ton in which his father, Jay Gould,
placed him IL years ago. He will be

the new interests in Missouri Pacific
will "Dat, drink and sleep on the

The fact that Mr.. Gould will be-
come chairman of the board does not
alter the opinion held in financial cir.
oles that the developments mark the
passing Of the Gould influences. not
only in Missouri Pacific, but in the
various other railroads with which the
