BORAH ATTACKS FISHER POLICY
Idaho Senator Desires a General Re.
modelling and Liberalizing Of the
Homestead Land Laws.

Washington.-The interior depart.
ment and the forest service were at
tackled in general debate in the senate
Wednesday by Senator Borah of Ida
ho, who advocated a general remodel.
Ing and liberalizing of the homestead
land laws.
Mr.. Borah suggested reducing from
Ave to three years the time after en-
tering and before proving up that set
tiers should be allowed to leave their
homesteads to earn living while
complying with the law as to resi-
dence.
Mr.. Borah urged that title should
be given as soon as the applicant
made proof. He said there was fre-
Quently delay of from ten to twelve
years in getting title to homesteads
on reclamation lands, often compel
ling settlers to abandon their land.
Mr.. Borah contended that settlers in
the national forest were at the mercy
of the forest rangers.
Senator Hepburn Of Idaho wanted a
land court established. Senators War
rem, McCumber, Clark of Wyoming
and Dixon said the great trouble was
with the administration Of the laws.
Mr.. Dixon said that eighteen months
ago 100000 acres in Montana were
withdrawn on the supposition that
they covered coal, but no effort had
been made to ascertain the presence
Of the mineral.

ey-Product From 'Smeiter Acid.
It is announced by the geological
survey that the discovery Of phosphate
rock in Montana is likely to have an
important effect in providing an out
let for the sulphuric acid that might
be manufactured by the big smelters
there. but which il now allowed to go
to waste and poisons the range within
radius of thirty miles from the
smelter works. The withdrawal Of
the phosphate lands from homestead
entry was announced some weeks ago
after the fields were reported by Hoyt
Dale, one of the field biologists. These
deposits are extensive and are con-
sidered of great potential value. The
smelter trouble with the production
of sulphuric acid fumes has been In
vestigated by the bureau of animal in
dustry of the department of agricul.
ture. There have been number Of
suits against the shelters. but they
have allowed the acid fumes to go to
waste for lack Of some profitable way
to employ them. With the combine
ton Of cheap sulphuric acid and phos-
phate rock in close proximity. the of.
ficers Of the geological survey say
cheap phosphate fertilizers are a pos

WARNING FACTIONS CONFER.
Cuban Leaders Seem Determined to

Havana.-President Gomez Wed.
nesday night conferred at the palace
with prominent political leaders re-
garding the notification from the
American secretary Of state that the
American government might be COM
PEELED to intervene in Cuban affairs.
Many Of the leaders VI political

Of the conference that all the ele'

to unite in a policy that would re-
move any excuse for Intervention by

agreement was not divulged.
After the conference General Euz'

the mail tonga left once a day-at

caught him as he was on the point Of
returning to his interrupted repose
and called his attention to the un-
wisdom Of his ways.
Apparently convinced, this ticket
agent announced his intention Of en-
deavoring to find a tonga for the
sahib. Besides, he was not unwilling
to acquire rupees. He scowled
thoughtfully at Amber, ferociously at
Doggott, went back into the station,
gossipped casually with the telegraph
sounder for q quarter of an hour, and
finally reappearing, without a word or
nod left the platform for the road
and walked and walked and walked
and walked
An hour passed as three. The heat
became terrific; not breath Of wind
stirred. The fase of the world lost
its contours in wavering mirage.
In the simple fulness Of Asiatic time
tonga came from heaven knew
where. Amber got up and looked it
over with a just eye and a temper
none the sweeter for his experience
1t was a brute Of tonga, a patched
and ramshackle wreck of what had
once been a real tonga, with no top to

The Eurasian ticket agent alighted
and solicited rupees. He got them
and with them Amber's unvarnished
opinion of the tonga: something
which was not received with civility
by the driver.
He remained in his seat-a short,
swart native with an evil countenance
and. across his knees, a sheathed tut
war-arguing with Amber in broken
English and abusing him scandalous-
ly in impurest Hindi, flinging at him
in silken tones untransiatable scraps
of bazar Billingsgate. For. as he ex-
planned In an audible aside to the
ticket agent. this sahib was an out
