Large areas of public lands
heretofore withheld from all
forms of entry because of the pos.
sible presence OF mineral deposits
are now open to agricultural set
tlement under a law which went
into effect July II, 1914. Entry
under the new act involves the
retention by the government of
title to certain specified minerals
believed to undeilie the lands,
This sort of agricultural entry of
coal land has been allowed since
June %, 1910, and of oil land in
Utah since August "a, 1912. The
present law extends this right of
nonmineral entry to all public
lands withdrawn, classified, or
valuable for phosphate, nitrate, #,
potash. oil, gas, or asphaltic
minerals. Any form of nonmin.
era1 filing may be made-home-
stead, desert land, timber and
stone, State selection, or any
other-the government reserving
the mineral deposits for which
the lands are believed to be valu-
able and the right to prospect
Tor and mine them. If for exam
pie, Il man should make entry in
one of the great phosphate fields
of Florida, Idaho, Utah, Wyom-
ing, or Montana his patent
would give him the right to the
surface and to all minerals which
might thereafter be found except
phosphate. Or if his homestead
should be in one of the oil field OF
California. Wyoming, Utah, Col
orado, or louisiana, he would
receive patent to every thing but
oil and gas. Before the govern
ment or its assignee comes on
his land to prospect for phos-
phate or for oil, the entryman is
secured against any damage
which he may sustain in the
course OF the prospecting or min
ing.
viii Open Up Dry Farming Areas
Inasmuch as large withdraw
ais of mineral lands have been
made in the arid and semiarid
Western States, where entries
may be made under the enlarged
homestead acts, the recent law
will considerably extent the area

From three months service on the Ice
patrol in the north Atlantic. the cutter
Miami has arrived at the repair depot at
Arundel Cove Md. for such minor re-
pairs as she may need, and to be given a
thorough cleaning up and painting before
returning to duty. The Miami has been
steadily employed for more than year.
and little opportunity has been had to
give her needed attention. As she IS
scheduled to take up. under the inter-
national agreement, the work of hunting
for and destroying derelicts that menace
the safety of vessels on the north At
lantic, it was deemed wise to bring her
to Arundel Cove for such attention as
she may need.
Under the terms of the convention for
the safety of vessels at sea- which held
its sessions in London this Year. this
patrol service was not to start until july
/ of next year, but recently the l nlted
States, which had agreed to do the
work, was approached by England and
other powers with an inquiry il the
United States would be willing to start
the search for derelcts before the time
specified. The revenue cutter service
was willing, the Miami was availaoie
for the service. and within the next two
or three weeks she will start for the
Azores and on a hunt for menaces at

.-.--- Avoided. ------- -.-.-

Mai Richard Sylvester, superintendent
of police, sincerely hopes that two meas

The other is a measure introduced by
Representative Clark of Florida, giving
police authority to motormen and con-
ductors on street cars.
The second named measure is in the
hands Of the District committee. A IA
vorable report has been made in the
matter of providing free transportation
to policemen and firemen.
Recent disturbances on street cars It
is stated, suggested the measure intro
duced by Representative Clark.
The question of providing better pro-
lection to street car passengers is not a
new one. Several times Maj. Sylvester
has called attention to the necessity of
providing precautions against such dis
turbanceS.

that many recruits. or "tenderfeet," /"

The mixers are to rendezvous this

G. A Gambs, will lead them through

end at or near Cherrydale, Va. from
which point cars of the Great Falls
line may be taken for the return trip
to the city.
The wanderluster idea has certainly
proved a popular one with hundreds of
Washingtonians, said one of rhe
hikers who has been interested since
