IMPROVEMENT FOR LAND LAWS
Smith OF Idaho Plans to Aid Young
People to Get HOmesteads.

WASHINGTON, May 4.-(Special) y
If Congressman Smith has a hobby, ii
is that of liberalizing the public land
laws. While he is a strong advocate of
| the states having control of all the pub
[lic land within their borders he realizes
that sentiment among the eastern and
southern members is not yet ripe for
such an innovation
Now that the bill to allow entry on
public land by minors upon reaching
the age of eighteen years, which he
has been pushing, is on the calendar,
he has initiated another measure which,
it is believed, will benefit a great many
young people in the state, who are
anxious to get home upon the public
domain, and yet, are required, because
of lack of capital to be absent from
their entry in an effort to earn money
with which to improve it.
His bill is intended to give preference
to those entrymen, who are devoting |
the best part of their lives to educating
the youth of the state, by excusing |
them from actual residence upon their |
homesteads during the months of the |
year in which they are teaching, pro-
yiding that each entryman must reside
1t least three months of the year upon
he land, and make permanent i'm
thereon.

GENERAL FEDERATION NEWS.

At the time of the biennial conven
ton of the General Federation of Won
ems Clubs in Chicago, June 9-19, Their,
will be conference upon the relation
of the club to the community, at which
a resolution will be presented concern
ing the subject of dress.
Mrs. Mary l. Woods, of Portsmouth
N. H., head of the bureau of informa-
ton, has written the following letter
to all presidents of clubs affiliated with
the general federation:
cover and over again, especially dur
ing the past twelve months, the sub
ject of women's dress has been brought
to my attention. Women have written
to me, both personally and as manag-
er of the bureau of information CT
the General Federation of Women S
Clubs, complaining that they were I'M
able any longer to buy skirts which
did not hinder locomotion; men have
stopped me on the street to call to my
attention some particularly noticeable
costume Zone of those which covered
everything and concealed nothing) and
have asked if there was not something
that could be done about it; social
workers have discussed in my presence
the effect which dress has upon NOR
ais; advocates of the dance have urged
that proper dressing would go far to-
ward overcoming the evils of improper
dancing; these and many others have
brought the matter to my attention
and each and all with the request that
the clubwomen take some action in
the matter.
Influenced by these thing and moved |
by my own observation, 1 am led to
ask myself and the clubwomen at large |
if the matter is not one in which we
are vitality concerned We are recog-
nized as the vital thinking force among
the American women; is it not time
that we should cease to adopt and
styles set for us by Paris
ian houses, regardless of the influence
Of such styles upon cur comfort, taste
Dr. sense of decency?"
The proposed resolution is:
Whereas: The General Federation of
Clubs, in convention assem-
oled, view with disapproval the pres
mt extreme tendency among American
to follow designs in dress, re-
CARELESS of beauty, comfort or NODES
y; and,
Whereas These Objectionable de-
igns in women's clothes emanate
argely, if not entirely from foreign
Houses; and,
Whereas: This constant patronage
If foreign designs and foreign ma
erials binders a normal development
f American art and manufacture, Be
t, therefore,
Resolved: That this convention, in
ull recognition of the rights and priv
leges of the individual, places itself
n record as heartily in favor of the
movement for simpler, more becoming,
nd more modest designs in women's
lothes, and urges the cooperation of
II clubs and clubwomen of the fedora
on in concrete effort to adopt styles
l dress adapted to American needs,
nd to encourage American designers
nd manufacturers.-Loc Press Bull

BIG THINGS FOR ALASKA

New Governor of Alaska Tells of Vast
Wealth of That Territory.

WASHINGTON, May 4.-(Special.)-
support 100000 people," declared
Maj. f. A. Strong, newly appointed
governor of that territory at the Raj
eigh. ut will not come in my day, of
course, but it is sure to come, because
Alaska is capable of producing every
thing necessary to support that number
of people, She need not go out Of her
own territory to raise food supplies
1.-The building of the Alaskan railroad
VIII be big impetus to business in
Alaska, and will undoubtedly begin a
movement that will bring about big
influx of people. You see We are hav-
ing a very good season of prosperity il
that country, particularly in southeast
ern Alaska There have been wonder
full developments made there in min
ing. Three companies are preparing to
arrange for the crushing of $4,000 tons
of ore each day. This is, of course,
low grade ore, but if it yields only S.
a ton it gives big profit. There are
untold millions of riches in Alaska
waiting to be discovered or developed.
and we are on the eve, believe, of a
long period of development and pro-
duction
There are, perhaps, not more than
10000 inhabitants in Alaska, including
native Indians and people of all classes.
To prophesy that we shall have 10000
900 people, therefore, seems fanciful,
but l am sure of it.
when we get the population we
shall produce everything we need. |
Meantime the people will become edu-
Gated as to the possibilities of Alaska,
and once the increase starts it will go
forward with rapid strides. The Alas
kan railroad, as have said, will be an
important instrument in the develop
ment of our resources"
Gov. Strong came to Washington to
confer with officers of the interior de-
partment.

IMPORTANT LAND MEASURE.
French Pleased With Action Taken to
Open More Land to Entry.

WASHINGTON, May 4.-(Special)-
The house committee on public lands
today reported favorably and instruct
ed Representative French to make the
report upon behalf of the committee, a
bill by Representative French provid-
ing for the surface entry of land in
cluded in phosphate, potash, and sim
liar mineral reservations.
The report of the committee was I'M
animous although the bill has received
attention from the committee and the
department of interior for the past
three or four months. The bill as re-
ported will apply to all the public land
states of the west and if enacted into
law will open up vast areas in Idaho
and other states that have been locked
from all public entry for several years
and which have very distinct and i'm
portant value for agricultural pur-
poses.
Speaking on the subject Mr.. French
said: "As would be natural to expect
l am exceedingly pleased with the &C.
ton of the committee on this measure
that l. have been working on for so
many months 1t will have special ref
erence to the southern part of Idaho
where extensive Withdrawals have been
made and will apply as well to all the
states of the west where such with
drawals exist.
"The bill now has the unanimous
support of the committee of public |
lands and as well, the support of the
department of the interior, and l shall |
push its consideration at the earliest |
practicable time"

TOday's Birthday H0nOrs.

Ex-Congressman A. Mitchell Palm
er, democrat, of Stroudsburg, was
born May 4, 1872. He attended the
public school here and in 1887 he en-
tered Swathmore College, from which
he was graduated in 1891 with the
highest honors in his class. He was
appointed official stenographer of the
43d judicial district of Pennsylvania,
and while occupying this position
studied law. Upon admission to the
bar in 1892 he formed a partnership
with the Hon. ]. B. Storm. He has
been a member of the democratic state
executive committee of Pennsylvania,
but was never candidate for public
office before his nomination for con-
gress. He was elected to the 61st and
reelected to the gid congresses.

A CITY HEALTH OFFICER.

The appointment of a city health Of
ficer has at last been made; and the
services of a competent and willing
physician to discharge the diverse and
taxing duties of the office have been
secured at a salary which is practical
ly negligible and which makes less
reasonable than had been supposed the
delay in filling the position. Moscow
is to be congratulated on the fact that
a man so we'll yersed in the func-
tons of health officer as DR.. Rae
by past experience in similar work
has become, will consent to give to
the work for the trifling sum of $25
per month that attention, energy, and
skill which will surely be requisite.
The council acted wisely in meeting
the only condition named by DR.. Rae
as preliminary to his acceptance of
the appointment bestowal upon
him of such authority as would en-
able him to carry out a drastic cam
paign for cleaning up the city. In
many parts of town, we are inform
ed, there has been no attempt to make,
connection with the city sewer. To
force property owners to bear the ex-
pense of an improvement so long and
meretriciously avoided by them and
yet so essential to public health, will
not make the health officer popular or
his days work pleasant.
This is only one of many under
takings in which the health officer will |
Immediately engage. Unsightly spots |
will also come under his jurisdiction
and We may expect speedy removal
of much trash which has been to those
who know dirt when they see it and
who dislike it, continual source of an
noyance. Some good folks express
surprise at the request for health Of
fcer. They are dazed by all the hubbub
about cleanup days and wonder what
there is to be done. A demonstration ,
or two will probably not educate a
person naturally slothful and indiffer-
ent to the looks of things. But those
who have not backwoods standards
will welcome and aid the health Of
ficer

MOTHERS DAY.

Notwithstanding all our intentions
to the contrary, most of us are likely
to let slip by without gift, greeting, OF
other show of kindly feeling, the an
niversaries of those days which, in
the lives of our friends and relatives,
are charged with meaning gay or sad.
Long in advance of the particular day,
we fondly plan the word or deed that
will tell those dear to us of our con-
tinued and lively affection and of our
loving recollection of those figures
in the calendar that mean so much to
them. We delight to honor our be-
loved living, and, in anticipation of
the privilege of which we design to
avail ourselves, we take unmingled
satisfaction. But the day comes and
is gone, and until its shadows close in
upon us, we forget the celebration
which should have marked its prime.
There are in all the world no per-
sons whom we would wish so we'll or
lovingly to remember as our parents
and none, alas, toward whom in the
performance of appropriate duty we
are so often and so far remiss Next
Sunday, May the tenth, is to be Moth
ers' Day. During the short interval
that remains before that Sabbath
dawns, we have all, though distant,
tine tn n1an for the conveying of
some message that shall bring to her
to whom we owe our being and whom
above all others we revere, the deep
and tranquil happiness of knowing
that she has a grateful and remem-
bering child. How fast the years
glide one into the other! How scanty
at the best will be the portion of her
days in which to make her glad!
