PUBLIC LAND FOR FRATERNlTIEs
Bill in Congress Aims TO Aid Sanator-
Jun Projects

Washington. Aug. 13.-All regularly
organized and incorporated fraternal
orga nizations would oe allowed to OBJ
tain tracts Of government land for
sanatorium purposes for the benefit OF
their mem ers, under a bill introduced
by Representative Raker, Of California
now before the house upon recommen-
dation of the public lands committee.
II follows a movement for legislation
Of this kind that has been carried on by
fraternal associations and societies for
a number OF years. Many bills pre-
viously have been introduced on the
subject but they were to grant lands
to these organizations by name while
the pending measure is general IN
scope, permitting any and all such or
CARNATIONS to obtain tracts for sana.
forums.
The main object o. the fraternal or
Plantations is to obtain, in each case,
sufficiently large tract OF land upon
which a modern sanatortum may be
established in arid semi-arid or noun
famous states, in a salutrious section
where the u members Of the organiZa-
ton may be treated and cured, particu-
!arl In cases OF consum ption.
The public lands committee has just
reported to the house that there are
large tracts of land in the public land
states, which are practically useless for
Individual holdings. The bill permits
the secretary Of the interior to with
draw or reserve the land applied for.
for not exceeding two years, to enable
any fraternal organization 20 investi-
gate and determine the condition of the
climate, soil, water supply facilities and
other questions, before obtaining
patent. Then the organization could
get, not exceeding four sections of un-
occupied non mineral, arid, semi arid
or mountainous land by placing sub
stantial improvements, the land to be
used exclusively for sanatorium pur-
| poses and il not SO used to revert To
| the United States.

The conferees accepted the Cum
Minis amendment. which provides that
as to all foreign built ships purchased
under the emergency act during the
next year the application for registry
must be approved by the secretary of

Senator Cummins was insistent on
this proposition as Offering safe

the same end he insisted on a provis-
ion in the bill requiring ownership Of
81 per cent of he vessel by Americans

Quite Lib.rai-streneth in Cattle
Market, While Sheep and Lambs
Hold Steady-Current Prices.

Chicago. Aug 13.-The downward
trend OF hos prices was checked, at
least temporarily. today. when prices
were marked up ; and 10 cents shortly
after the opening. Spectators turned
bidders because OF the recen. slump of
nearly 81, and despite very LIBERAL re-
. ceip;s the market held strong.
The range OF prices is much narrower
than for some time past, owing TO the
fact that best grades of light and heavy
butchers are selling soc Is1.00 lower
than best time Monday, while mixed
and good heavy packing in most cases
are only abou; soc lower than average
selling that day.
Good hogs have suffered the biggest
of shipping call. Shippers have been
buyers in proportion to receipts. and.
while a few hogs sold at prices that
did not show the full loss, it is not till
market settles down TO the lowest basis
that trade enjoys any action. Later,
when hogs can be bought at the low
spot OF the dag, trade is active.
Cattle.
Cattle trade showed strength, and
there was partial gain OF the losses OF
Wednesday. Offerings were moderate
IN number.
That the advance is here 10 stick
rather than fade away, as noted in the
hog market the past two days. Is
belief held by most traders. since it is
case OF actual pauciry OF supply
alone which has brought it about in
steer trade II is a delayed advance at
that. many OF the feeders having fig
ured that choice steers would top at
$1,000 IN July this year, tho the fact
OF high-priced corn kept the crop mov-
ing fairly well previous TO few weeks
ago. High corn is still a worry to the
feeders. altho rains over a wide ex-
panse Of territory in recent days have
done lot toward steadying down the
market impulse and it is evident that
from now on the trade is going to be
pretty well nursed by growers who feel
that they are once more in strong
command Of the price situation and
that they hold no more beef steers than
the demand is going to require even
tho wholesale and retail prices are
marked up still higher.
Sheep.
Sheep and lambs were steady.
Native sheep have escaped for the
