'"rhe German demand for apples

Secretary of Interior Says Public
Will All Have an Equal
Chance for Acreage
PREFERENCE. RIGHTS
WILL BE PROTECTED
Hon. A. J. Splawn Receives Tele.
gram From Washington Which
Proves the Lineup at the Land
Office to Have Been in Vain

Public land under the third unit OF
the Tieton will when restored to en-
try, be by some form of drawing and
lottery. This statement is in accord
ance with a telegram received from
Washington saturday, from the acting
secretary of the interior. by Hon. A.
j. Splawn, president of the Tieton
Water Users association.
The telegram from the acting Sec
rotary was in response to a telegram
sent Thursday by Mr.. Splown, as pres
ident of the Tieton Water Users as
ISOLATION asking for early and more
definite information than had yet been
received here regarding the plans pro-
posed in connection with the third unit
of the Tieton. The answer, received
by Mr.. Splawn last night, is as fol-
lows:
Hon. A. j. Splawn. President Teton
Water Users Association.
Public notice third unit Tieton will
soon issue, but only for private lands
and for lands subject to preference
rights.
mo other entries will be allowed
until preference rights have been duly
considered. After that time another
notice will issue for the remaining
lands, not subject to preference right.
Some sort of drawing will be
adopted to give all equal chance.
SAMUEL ADAMS,
Acting Secretary"
This telegram will carry comfort
to great many people though it will
be distasteful to the forty-od who
have been in a lineup at the door of
the federal land office here since
Christmas. To the public it will
mean that all will have a chance at
the public land without the necessity
of the long wait. To those who have
been in the lineup it will mean that
such time and money as they have
expended will be wasted.
Many Good nomesteads
There are some 5000 acres of pub
lie land in the third unit of the Tie
ton to be restored and it is generally
understood that the homesteads al
lowed will be of forty acres each
There exist ten preference rights
probably all of which will be exer-
cised. There are now forty-six peo-
pie in the lineup at the land office
and they had it carefully figured Out
that there would at least be that
many good homesteads worth waiting
for
1t is altogether improbable that the
telegram above referred to will have
any effect upon the walters in line
They have an agreement between
themselves to the effect that they
would stand together against any re-
ports which may appear to have as
their object the breaking up of the
line. They will stand together, they
say, until the land office bulletin
board itself contains some announce
ment.

Butte is the most prosperous city

returned from a trip and visit of two
weeks to the above city and state
over the Northern Pacific railroad at
$50 last evening accompanied by
Mrs. Mullins. Both expressed them
selves in unmistakable language re-
garding the pleasures of the trip. Mr..
Mullins had been called there as a
witness in two mining cases. one of
which involved probably $4,000, 900.

conditions appeared so prosperous as
at present." said Mr.. Mullins.
"The prices of copper and silver
are higher than they have been in
four years. Copper is quoted at q
trifle better than lac per pound,
whereas in 1907 it was down around
lie. Silver reached the high mark
in four years on Friday, when 1t was
quoted at Sc Use per ounce. For the
past few years it has been huctuating
around SIC per ounce. Mark this:

year. and the value increased from
s2.67o,000 to s5.SSO,0OO. Importa-
tons of apples rom Switzerland
showed a large decrease.
Dealers Pay High Price
During the first ten months OF
1911, 1920 metric quintals of wal
nuts were imported into Germany,
this being STA quintals less than
during the same period of 1910. The
imports of hazelnuts increased from
2s,151 to 4t,900 metric quintals The
supply of apples offered for sale in
German markets up to November,
1911, was small, and fruit dealers
purchased all the fruit arriving, pay
ing unusually high prices. The Ger
man grown apples, now on sale in CO.
burg, are very small, of an inferior
quality. Large quantities of small
American apples, however. which
were bought by local dealers through
importing houses in the larger cities,
met with good sales The Wholesale
cost of 10 pounds of native apples of
the better quality was 1857 to STA,
and $40 to 1857 for a poorer quail
ity. Prices of walnuts vary between
$4.76 and $9.52 per 10 pounds. while
hazelnuts cost from $S.33 to $14.2S
for the same weight.
