The farmers coming in from the
Fort Lewis mesa report a four-inch
rainfall out there last Monday, and

there was really no damage. The
farmers are in the best of spirits on
the mesa and expect bumper crops.

In determining the meaning of the

OF the United States public land laws,
sight most not be lost of the fact that
a too liberal Interpretation of the

SAN FRANCISCO, July 26.-An
amazing series of events in the house
hold of Nicholas j. Mcnamara, a re-
tired banker, was revealed here when
Mcnamara swore out a warrant for
one woman and two men, all former
servants in his home in San Mateo
suburb. The trio are charged with
stealing McNamara's automobile.
A startling feature back of the
charges is the assertion of McNama-
ra that his wife was accompanying
her former servants on wild ride
through oregon and that the only
word he has received from Mrs. Nc
Namara since June % has been her
numerous and lavish drafts on his
bank account. Mrs. Mcnamara is re-
puted to be worth 100000 in her own
right.
Mcnamara charges that one of the
former servants, Mrs. Charles L. Per-
kins, as responsible for his wife's ac-
tions through systematic domination.
Mrs. Mcnamara took their two
small sons with her in the machine.
The last accounts of the fleeing
party was it rumor they had sold
the machine in Portland ana bought
tickets for Chicago en- route, McNam-
ara believe, to Europe.

When an assignee takes a desert
land entry by assignmen. he not only
exhausts his right under the desert
land law precisely the same as if he
made the initial entry, but he also as
sumes the burdens as we'll as the ben
efits of such entry and is obliged to
comply with the requirements of law
within the statutory period as fixed by
the date of the entry, not by the date
of the assignment. While his right
under the entry is first initiated by the
assignment, it relates back when so
initiated to the date of the entry. By
assignment, the entry becomes his en-
try and the date thereof is the date
when 1t was first made.

Obviously if all lands containing
limestone, silica and clay were to be
classed as mineral, it would be almost
impossible for homestead entryman,
or desert land entryman or for the
states to know with any degree of
centainty that the public lands they
might wish to appropriate were open
to them.
A mineral protest flied against
homestead entry must show by spe-
cific adverment that the land in con-
flict is mineral in character,

TERRE HAuTE, Ind, July 25.-An
important convention of the Indiana
locals of the United Mine Workers
of America assembled here today. The
purpose of the convention, MS set forth
in the call for the gathering, is to
consider the advisability of refusing
to pay the international tax and to de-
termine who is responsible for the
action of the scale committee at the
Cleveland interstate conference last
spring by which the Indiana miners
could not insist on their demand for
the weekly pay day as provided by
the Indiana law. The possibility of
the Indiana miners seeding from the
national organization in the event that
their demands are refused is being
freely discussed, but 1t is not consid-
cred likely that the convention will
decide upon taking such an extreme
step.
