Looks Like Bunco. by Uncle Sam.

Much is being said about the public land development and the
.entryman and much that has not been "a lick a miss" Just now
Uncle is bungling the desert land entryman. Uncle passed a new
ruling some time since, requiring water permits to accompany the a.
plication for desert land, also an affidavit stating everything mostly
That you could think of in regard to the water and the creek from
which it was taken, and its feasibility. Then along with all that he
fixed it up so that the entry would be suspended and would have to
be examined by the Field Division, before the entry would be allow:
ed. There has been a number OF desert entries made since that rL-
ing took effect, and Uncle is pacidly holding the entryman in sus-
pense and keeping his money, seemingly little caring whether Mr..
Land Entryman gets any aid or anything else.
This is indeed, to say the least, embarrassing to the entryman,
and especially those who want or need the land, or short of money.
We are afraid it will take a good many men like Elwood Mead to
hammer anything into Uncles sluggish nature when it comes to aid
ing the public land entryman. Instead Of treating the entryman in
this manner, Samuel should see that every man is given a good fair
chance and title to the land without cost, and, if needed, help the en-
tryman to cultivate and fence the land, paying such aid back in easy
installments.

Double.Fisted Truth.

Prof. Elwood Mead, formerly of Wyoming, and today one OF the
worlds greatest agricultural economists, and foremost scientific irri-
cation engineer, addressed the International Irrigation Congress, and
handed out some cold facts in a positive manner that are well worth
the reproduction here. His comments were largely directed toward
dertaking to reclaim arid land. His remarks ART 30 true that they
should make the chils run up and down the spine of the Department
of the Interior.
"One has only to look at the land, at the settlers house, at his
meager and inadequate equipment, and then hear the story OF hope
deferred and development arrested by inadequate capital, to realize
what a serious venture it is for the uninitiated individual to attempt
to reclaim wild land"
son one project the average indebtedness of all the settlers is
81, OOO," he said. "They have exhausted their capital reached the
limit of their credit, and have no way to complete the improvement
of their farms. On another hree-fourths of the settlers must lose
the fruits of years of labor and all the capital spent in development
if aid is not soon forthcoming. On another, IS per cent of the farms
are mortgaged, and the mortgage debt averages $50 an acre owe the
whole area. On another project a farm has been sold, abandoned and
resold Eve times"
typical instance, he said, was of a Wisconsin ma who took up
a government claim with $1,000 saved up to run it. He spent the
$4,000 trying to get the place going, and went to work as a day la
borer rather than starve to death. He has no more prospect of
keeping that farm without some financial aid from the state than I
have of flying to the moon," said Mr. Mead.
To permit the poor man to settle on unimproved arid land, he
pronounced neither honest nor humane" and in the Turing of home-
seekers to such lands he said that probably nothing has ever sur.
passed the wide range of activities. the fertility of imagination and
the utter lack of any sense of responsibility on the part OF those who
sold the land. The records of one subdivision show that it has cost
an average of $40 an acre to sell land that was originally bought for
$5 an acre"

are growing less each year. Many houses are now free from that

Will Reed. Register.

Editor Reed of the Rawlns Journal was this week notified of
his appointment as Register of the U. s. Land Office at Cheyenne.
Mr.. Reed succeeds w. E. Chaplin, who has been Register of that
district for ls years. Mr.. Chaplin is at present one of the most able
men in the service of the Department of the Interior, and far better
qualified to run that department than any man who has yet occupied
the position, and as Register of the Cheyenne laud district has prov
en- his ability many times. In all his years of service his opinion
or action has never been reversed by either the Commissioners of the
General Land Office or the Secretary of the Interior. His service as
a public servant has been above reproach and the people in his dis
triot have been the best served of any land district in the west.
MI. heed has a hard position to handle following in the foot
steps OF Mr.. Chaplin, yet even handicapped in that manner, he will
probably use every endeavor to make good, and we wish him we'll in
this important position.

FATAL FIRE AT SHAKAN

KETCHIKAN-Word has been re- ceived via Wrangell of serious fire at the Shakan cannery, Wednesday or Thursday morning.
 The Chinese bunkhouse and some smaller buildings adjoining it were destroyed and only by hard work was the cannery itself saved.
 Three Chinamen were burned to death in the bunkhouse and six were badly burned or injured by jumping from the second story windows of the building onto the rocky beach P feet below.
 The origin of the fire is still in doubt, though there is an unconfrm- ed rumor afoat that there had been trouble between the Philippines and Chinese and that in revenge the Philippines had saturated the bunk house with gasoline and set it on fire.
 The injured were taken to Wrang- ell on the gas boat Winnifred for medical attention. Progressive Miner.

Half Million Spent
 on German Plots
One of the Gang is Reported to Have
 Made a Confession.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.--It has de- veloped that half a million dollars have been spent in the furtherance of the pro-G German plots to blow up munitions plants in this country. This has been brought out, 1t is said, by the confession of one of the mem bers of the gang. He was arrested some time ago. The German sym pathizers declare that no such con fession has been made and that the failure to divulge the name of the informer is proof of the fact, but the police say that the time has not come for giving out the identity of the man.

SEWARD. ALASKA SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1915.
The Lexington advertiser., 1915-02-05

The following clipping has been hand
ed to us. 1t is worth consideration.
when your neighbor says we must
have bigger navy, just ask him what
kind of ship she thinks we will need.
Remind him that a battelship planned
along the best lines in 1915 may be
nothing but junk by the time it is COM
pleted. The developments of this
year may show that the only effective
type of sea fighter is the submarine, in
which case we will surely have to
have a 1916 model. If he says we
must strengthen our coast defences,
ask him how much forts will protect
us if it is found that the airmen consti-
tute the most destructive force in this
war. If he answers these puzzlers to
your satisfaction, then ask him who in
all the world wants to go to war with
us when the Great War is ended. Re-
member that we shall maintain strict
neutrality whether it lasts three
months or three years. Every month
it is continued means a greater necessi-
ty for rebuilding. The only nation
not involved in this war which could
give us an argument is Italy, and Italy
has been our friend since the time of
Washington. When the great war is
finally ended there will be no desire on
the part of any of the contestants to
hurry into another. They will all have
to spend many years getting back to
the condition in which they were in
