DIGEST OF LAND DECISIONS.
Homesteads.


The swamp land grant to the sew
eral states is grant in present and
an entry improperly allowed must yield
to the older grant. 1t is well settled
law that neither settlement or filing
constitute separately or jointly, sale
or disposal of public land. An equit-
able title does not rest in claimant
until final receipt, or tender of pay-
ment, or of final proof, which should
of right be accepted. Until such con
ditions exists, public land is not dis
posed of.
Intervention by private parties filing
| contest after the expiration of two
years from date of final certificate
cannot be allowed under the desicion
in the case of Chandler VS.. Haynes, ct
|al., (37 L. D. $685.
Where the entrymen sells his ink
provements and accompanies such sale
by REIMBURSEMENT of the homestead
entry, he is barred from making an
other entry, and the act OF February
3, 1911, (36 Stat. 1861, providing for
allowance of second homestead entries,
will not apply to give relief
Prior to final proof, and upon death
of the entryman, patent will issue IN
the name of the heirs, and not in name
of a devisee named in the will made by
the entryman. Citing Knight VS.. heirs
of Knight (39 l.. D. 362). 1t is the
well settled rule of the department
that residence is established from the
moment the settler goes upon the land
with the intention in good faith of
making it his home to the exclusion
of one elsewhere, provided such inten-
tion is followed diligently and such
settlement is followed by actual in.
habitancy of the land in good faith.
Good faith is the essential foundation
of all claims under the homestead law.
Citing Gilbert Satrang (37 L. D. 6s3)

as to the character of the land), and
the entryman is not, required to furtfss

that such order has been revoked, ,nis
rule having particular application to

In desert land cases the burden of
proof is upon the entryman to show
the character of the land as claimed bv
him. 1t is also a rule that lands Dor
der upon streams, lakes, or other bod
les of water, are not subject to entry
under the desert land law, until the
clearest proof of their desert character
is furnished. Citing State of Orego1

Mark Twain Made and Lost Fortunes
His Enormous Earn
inHs.

Mark Twain's impccuniosity when he was
a reporter in Virginia City, New. and when
he was private secretary to Senator "Jim"
Nye Of that state In Washington in the
later COS. served to provide an inter-
esting background for the prosperity which
came to him as soon as "Innocents Abroad
was published. He came to Hartford to
have his books put on the market, and he
was as poor when he first arrived here as
he was rich very soon thereafter. His mar
riage to Miss Langdon Of Elmra allied him
with well-to-do family. and he was In
very comfortable circumstances ever after
ward, In spite of the impression to the
contrary which was allowed to prevail for
a time after the failure of his book pub
fishing enterprise-for business reasons.
The eminent humorist built his home in
Hartford in the early '70s. and he has
told in his "reminiscences how he started
out with the idea OF spending S25 900, ard
ended by putting six or seven times as
much into the Pennington avenue estab-
lishment now owned by Mr.. Bissell Moth

well to add few facts about his subse-
quent financial experiences, since there is
so much carelessness in dealing with the
subject in some of the newspaper offices
Hundreds Of thousands of dollars came
to Mark Twain in the years he spent in
Hartford-say from 1872 until 1890 His
friend, the late Henry c. Robinson. was
fond of telling Of game of billiards he
played in Mark Twains house with the
owner of it. During the game visitor was

announced. The servant was told 10 show
him into the billiard room. Mr. Clemens
talked with him without delaying shot
on the billiard table. The errand Of the
visitor. who was a publishers agent was
to offer him $4,000 for series OF short
stories which. as we remember could be
brought out In a single volume, after being
published serially. The amount OF ma
terial asked for was comparatively small.
Clemens rejected the offer uuickly-almost
abruptly. Mr. Robinson ventured, when
the visitor was gone. 60 express his sur
prise that the humorist could turn down
what seemed like a prodglous sum for
small amount OF copy" But Mark Twain
dismissed the incident nonchalantly.
He had the narrowest kind of an escape
from becoming millionaire. lie
missed his chance TO win a great fortune
when he put his money on the wrong
horse by backing the Paige type-setung
machine against the linotype machine. lie
was besought by the men who invested
altogether $4,000 in developing the linotype
idea between 1875 and 1890, TO come into the
enterprise But he thought his Judgment
was better than theirs and he sank $225 coo
in the Page apparatus for setting up nova
BILE types. The machine was not success.
With the same money he could have had
a controlling interest in the linotype COM
pany and the investment would have
brought an average annual income of
10000 or more during the last thirty
years With that income he might have
left as large an estate when he died as
that OF his friend. Henry II. Rogers,
Tho Paige illusion was only one of the
good things" in Hartford that caught him
for round sums. Probably he sank half o
million In that way altogether Then came
the Grant book-a brilliant idea-and the
publishing firm OF Webster & Co., whose
final failure, together with his other heavy
losses, took all he had and involved him
temporarily in debt But the books which
he wrote and published between 1890 and
1900 and the lectures he delivered brought
him another fortune, out Of which the obli-
cations Of Webster & CO. were easily taken
care of. AS soon as there was plenty of
money again he repeated his type-setting
machine investments in various ways.
That. in spite OF the loss of fortune after
fortune in his business ventures he actu-
ally left accumulatons of over $4,000, all
gained from his books, and the copyrights

An Appeal to the Voters

of the contest always the side of the public against
the private interests When the notorious big ve ruled
the council and refused the Omaha Real Estate Exchange
hearing the proposed increased valuation for tax pur
poses Mr. Hoye took up the fight the floor of the council
chamber and forced the Big Five to listen the repre-
sentaves of the Real Estate Exchange and the small prop
ery and the result that the of the
corporations increased by many millions, and the tax
burden the home and small business made
that much lighter

AS a member of the police board he has stood at all
times for good and the full and fearless
ment of all laws He has been fair and open his dealings
and has proven himself every occasion of good
judgment and fair mind.
If the test of ability and integrity to be determined
by public service then Fred H. Hoye has answered the
quremens the fullest His official record his greatest
recommendation
If the test is be determined by proved capacity for
the big work of important office the fact that he has
risen from the ranks by his efforts placing himself
among the established and recognized business of the
community indicates his capacity for big things And is
this proof of his honesty of purpose and
integrity of conduct
While Fred H. Hoye has worked steadily ad arduously

LONDON. July l2.-The final report of the
chloroform committee of the British
Medical Association has been issued
The committee has been working for
nearly ten years. chiefly to obtain data az
to suitable quantities of chloroform to he
administered to human beings in order
that overdosing may be obviated
II has reached the conclusion that
per cent. chloroform vapor is generally
insufficient to anGsthetize surgically an
adult. but that per cent. vapor in air is
sufficient for full surgical anasthesia.
The committee finds that in depraved
blood states and in some diatheses and
grave pathological states. the safety Of
the dose below per cent. must be de-
termined upon in each case. The report
condemns administration of chloroform
by rule of thumb and declares that there
is no true safeguard possible when vapor
of unknown strength is employed.
Several methods Of providing accurate
doses are described.
