seems necessary, an endeavor will be
made to secure legislation.
In this connection desire to call at
tention to the benefits that would be OBJ
tanned in case like this If the bill
which have introduced for appeals
from decisions of the Secretary of the
Interior to courts (H. R. 27O7l) should
become law, for / am confident that
whatever might have been the decision
of the Land Office in case of this kind, ;,
if the case went to court, the court would
necessarily construe the meaning of the
words "merchantable timber" in the
light of the intent of Congress thus
clearly stated in connection with the
provisions of the law under which the
settlers are entitled to the timber and
other material from the public domain
for the Improvement of their property.

cur 1T OUT. DENNY.

Denis Henault, who represents Custer
and Fall River counties in the state sem
ate, has introduced bill that will in
gloriousy end his political career, as it
should. His bill provides that no one
employing labor shall discriminate
against any person because of their af-
filiation or membership in any organiza.
ton. This is direct blow at the min
ing companies of Lawrence county that
have recently declared their independ-
ence from the domination ofa tyrannical
labor organization.
While the senator is not q resident of
Lawrence county he owns mining prop
erty in the county and spends most of
his time here. His operations are on
such small scale that union or nom
union does not affect him. But what
ever put such fool notion into his
head, or such notion into his fool head
is beyond our ken. IF he insists I'M
pushing the bill his name will not only
be Dennis, but it will be pants, if he
ever aspires to Office again in the Black
Hills. 1t is not likely the bill will ever
find its way again out of the committee,
or if it should that it will become a law
and even should 1t become a law no
court would dare deny the right of any
one to employ whom they pleased

NOTICE.
Department of the Interior,
General Land Office

Washington, January 4, 1911.
Register and Receiver, Belle Fourche,
South Dakota.
Sirs IL am in receipt of your letter Of
December 20, 1910, asking instructions
as to acceptance of Communication proof
in cases where substantially continuous
residence for a period of fourteen months
next preceding submission of proof is
not shown.
In reply you are advised that the de-
partment Of ruling in the case of Esberne
K. Muller (39 L. d. 72), has been modi-
fed only in one particular:
In the department decision in the case
of Sherman Shouse, November 2l, 1910,
it was held:
"a leave Of absence granted under the
act of March 2, 1889 (25 Stat. s54), if not
fraudulently procured, protects an en-
tryman for the period granted from con-
test on the ground of abandonment. He
can not receive credit as for residence
for the period he is absent under such
leave, but it can not properly be held,
either as to ordinary five-year proof or
Communication proof, that by procuring
such leave he forfeits period of bona
fide residence for which he has earned
credit prior to the beginning of such
leave of absence. The period of absence
during the time authorized should SIM
ply be eliminated from calculation when
considering the period of residence to
which an entryman is entitled to credit.
Thus, two periods of bona fde resi-
dence, separated by leave of absence
regularly procured, may be added to-
gether and made the basis for commuta-
ton proof.
Cases may arise in which commuta-
ton proof is submitted after the expira-
tion of a much longer period than the
fourteen months required by law, show
ing short but necessary absences, and
substantial improvements and cultiva.
ton, in which event you are expected to
exercise your discretion as to the appro-
pirate action.
Very respectfully,
(Signed) s. V. PRoUDFrT,
Assistant Commissioner.

Because Pellagra menaces the country
and other diseases are contributing to
chronic invslidism and death, the Sec
retary of the Treasury has asked Con-
gress for immediate legislation to permit
the use of some of the marine hospitals
for study of infectious and other dis
eases. An accompanying memorandum,
prepared by Surgeon-General Wyman,
pointed out that Pellagra, practically
unknown in the United States prior to
1907, may be said to exist over the en-
tire country. The health officer of a
Southern State recently estimated the
number of cases in his State alone at
$4,000.

Senator Henault proposes a constitu-
