Representative French has taken up
with the Secretary of the Interior the
question of having made available un-
der the 32O-Acre Dry Farm Act, lands

that law. 1t has been represented to
Mr.. French that much of the remain
ing land is too rough to farm and is
of value for grazing purposes alone
and that if homesteaders could acquire
farms of 800 acres. lands would be &C
quired by new settlers and used for,
grazing purposes with here and there
a few acres that could be used for
garden and orchard.
Mr.. French said that it would re-
quire no legislation to make these
lands available for entry under the
enlarged homestead act as the secre-
tary of the Interior is authorized at
this time to designate them providing
in his judgment that land shall be
found to be Of the character to which
the present law is intended to apply.
1t has been represented to Mr.. French
that there is wholly as great reason
for designating these lands for en-

The committee on Indian Affairs of
he House has favorably reported the
House Joint Resolution of Representa-
tive French providing for the extern
sion of the law which Mr.. French had
passed by the last Congress granting
an extension of time to homesteaders
on the Occur d'Alene Indian Reserva-
ton within which their payments for
the land might be made. After the bill
had been signed by the President it
developed that about SO homesteaders
had already forfeited their homeste DIS
through their inability to meet the
first or second payment required of
them and it is to relieve these home
steaders that Mr.. French undertook
the work of extending the law so as
to include the ones who had already
forfeited their lands, The report of
the committee was unanimous and Mr..
French is confident that the measure
will pass. Mr.. French said that if
there were any arguments needed to
support the passage of the measure
one year ago, it had been furnished
in the fact that one hundred had found
the situation so serious that they were
finally compelled to abandon their
homes. being unable to meet their
payments.

ELEPHANTS AS WORKERS.
Without Thorn 6urma's Teakwood
Trade Would Languish.

Since 1886 the export OF teakwood
from Burma has Increased enormous
ly; but, despite the phenomenally high
price of the wood, 1t would not be
profitable to work It. even In these
days, without the elephant. In this
trade the Burmese elephants, massive
animals whose strength Is almost un-
limited, are seen ut their best as beasts
OF burden.
From the time when the forest areas
are purchased, before the trees are
felled to the hour of export on the
ocean going vessels at the port on the
Indian ocean the elephant is the main
worker. Far away In the malarial
swamps and almost impenetrable jun
giles this majestic beast first tramps
down "A passage through the under
growth. Then, guided by his Indian
keepers prong, the elephant COM
mences his arduous labor of dragging
the felled trees to the river, whence
they are conveyed by raft down coun-
try TO the sawmills.
These enormous trees, untrimmed
and cumbrous, are sometimes dragged
up and down the jungle and mountain
forest pathways en- route to the river
with rare precision. At the mills
again the work of packing and stack
ing is done exclusively by elephants.
When the trees are sawed into lengths
the elephants do the piling, bringing
the huge planks from the sheds and
arranging them In an orderly manner
In numbered piles. s.-Argonaut
