less than zoe, 900 acres were entered
during the ten months mentioned,
and the year would run well up to-
wards 1000, 600 acres. Not all these
applications will be patented by
those who have entered them. but if
they are not by the present claim
ants. they certainly viii be some day
by others who will come later and
enter them again. 1t is a conserva-
tive estimate to say that at least
500.00 acres of the lands taken up
this past year will be patented dur
ing the next five years.
When one considers that the dis
trict has been organized for more
than thirty years, and during the re-
cent years especially this scramble
for lands has been almost as large
as 1914, one can at least form some
estimate as to the size Of the vast
empire covering eastern Idaho, and
its capabilities in the way of taking
care of an enormous population. The
fact is that this section of Idaho is
beginning to demonstrate to the
world just what it can do in the way
Of providing homes for tens of thou
sands Of settlers, which in turn means
great number Of large cities and
small towns, and consequent large
commercial business.
To take care Of the business men
toned heretofore during the said ten
months, the land Office answered H.
523 miscellaneous letters, or more
than 100 each month, Of twenty-five
working days each. 1t received 1422
communications from the general
land Office and mailed out hundreds
Of pamphlets, and miscellaneous
matters pertaining to government
lands.
During this time 230 new contests
were initiated. and practically as
many cases decided.
Final proofs are considered with.
in q few days after their receipt by
the Office and where the proofs are
sufficient and regular, final certifi-
Gates are issued within q month,
and most cases within few days
Where there is delay it is due te
evidence being asked for, protest By
the field division, or awaiting fina
action by the department. But ii
all departments an effort is always
made to get final certificates as fast
as possible. or in case Of rejection
to have the same. noted withou
delay.
The land officials desire it under
stood that they are always willing
and ready to answer any questions
concerning public lands in this dis
trict. and 10 assist anyone who is in
terested in taking up the publ,
lands Of the United States. Thei
advice IS free and will be forth
coming at any time upon request
either personal or BY letter.

RECORD OF LAND OFFICE
GIVES AN IDEA OF GROWTH
Vast Amount Of Business Transacted at Black
foot Land Office During 1914 as Shown BY
by Statement Issued from That Office.

The following is a synopsis of the
business transacted at the Blaekfoot
Idaho. land Office for the ten months
beginning March 1st 1914, and end.
ing December 31st, 1914. From
the figures shown it will be seen that
the Blackfoot land district is rapidly
being settled and that the vacant
lands of the counties embraced there.
in are being entered in enormous ag.
gregate amounts. Years ago it was
confidently asserted that about all
the vacant lands fit for cultivation
had been taken up in the districts,
yet the fact remains that 1914 was
the largest year for business in the
Blackfoot land Office, and the new
year promises to keep the record
well nigh to the high water mark,
though it is doubtful if such years
business viii ever again be repeated.
When it is remembered that prac-
tically all the lands in this district
are agricultural in character, the to-
tails presented are indeed little short
Of phenomenal. The showing made
also indicates that great numbers Of
new settlers are coming to eastern
Idaho and that counties Of this sec.
ton are growing much more rapidly
than most people had any idea Of.
The growth has been scattered
over the entire district, every coun-
ty sharing in the increase. The TAX
ing up of SO much land means that
the day is not far distant when the
real property assessment of all the
counties will be enormously in.
creased. and the wealth subject to
the burden Of taxation be according
ly largely enhanced.
During the ten months mentioned
the land Office receipts in money wal
considerably more than one hundred
thousand dollars, and for entire year
of 1914 was 1921, ,96O.86.
Number of new homestead appli
cations received for the ten months

FOUNTAIN PEN
IN HIS BRAIN
Yet Daniel Mclaughlin Of
New York Had Lived
Six Weeks
WAS UNCONSCIOUS
ALL THE TIME
Indications Are That the
Man Was Murdered
by Terrific Blow

New York, Oct. 27.---An autopsy yes
terday on the body of Daniel McLough-
Tin, 50 years old, whose home is unknown
and who died early yesterday morning in
the Holy Family hospital, Brooklyn, re-
vealed the astonishing fact that the pa
tent had lived for nearly six weeks with
four-inch fountain pen imbedded in
his brain. Coroner Wagner of Brooklyn
declared that the man had undoubtedly
been murdered.
Mclaughlin was brought to the hos
pital on Sept. l3 last, after he had been
found at o'clock in the morning in an
condition lying on truck
in vacant lot at 507 Hamilton avenue,
Brooklyn. The hospital physicians found
that lie had broken left elbow and a
bruised left eye, the eyeball of which
was considerably swollen. The patient
revived sufficiently to give his name, age,
and say that he lived at 1877 Warren
street, Brooklyn. Then he lapsed into
Inconsistencies.
Ever since that day Mclaughlin has
lowered between life and death, uncon-
scious all of the time and barely giving
evidence that he was alive. The hospital
were unable to explain why
a man with fractured elbow and a
swollen eye could remain in comatose
Yesterday morning he died.
An autopsy performed by Coroner's
Physician George w. Tong disclosed that
a fountain pen, complete in all its parts
except the cap, was imbedded in Nc
brain just behind the left
eye. The gold point had penetrated to
the center Of the brain, the hard rubber
ink reservoir lying just behind the eye
ball. The eye had closed up behind the
pen and completely hid any trace of its
presence.
After comforting with DIR. Tong, Coro-

ner Wagner announced that he was posi-
tive the man had been murdered lie
said that the pen had evidently been
driven into the brain with terrific blow
delivered by some bluut instrument, eth
er the heel Of shoe or mallet OF some
description. The police were notified and
Immediately began an investigation.
Inquiry by the police at the address
in Warren street failed to bring any clue
as to the mans identity. The tenants
there said they had never heard OF any
one of that name living at the house.
AfcLoughlin's condition had been asked
about several times by callers at the
hospital, who said they knew him merely
as frequenter of Hamilton avenue.
The police are working on the theory
that the assault on Mclaughlin occurred
some distance away from where he was
found and that the assailants carried his
unconscious body to the vacant lot and
dumped it on the truck.

BURGLAR WAS SHOT
BY HIS OWN PAL
Bullet Was Intended for House Owner
Who Had Surprised Them at
Robbery.

New York, Oct. 27.-Three burglars
were surprised early yesterday in the
home of Leib Lurie, real estate dealer
of l45l Union street, Brooklyn. One OF
them fired three shots in the darkness,
but instead of hitting Mr.. Lurie, one OF
the bullets struck burglar, The three
men escaped, however, leaving behind
5000 worth of silver that they had care
fully packed.
"Who's theref" shouted Mr.. Lurie when
he heard the noise of men moving around
on the second floor OF his home.
The reply was three pistol shots. A
bullet whistled in the wall There was
the sound of seurrying feet below him
and then silence.
In the meantime the cries of Mr. Lurie
had summoned the police TO the scene
and they found that the burglars had
decamped in such haste that they had
left behind pair of shoes, an oyercoat
and Stetson hat with the initials III.
W." in it.
The police also found a large quantity
of silveTware that the burglars had
packed. A trail of blood led downstairs
and around To the front OF the house.
The police followed this trail TO Albany
avenue, where the blood stains ended.
An hour after the shooting a young
man went to the home OF Or. Fischer
at Liberty and Pennsylvania avenues and
raIt the bell. Ii was then about $50.
When the physician admitted his visitor
be saw that he was suffering from gun
shot wound in the face.
The bullet had penetrated the lower
jaw and the man said he had accidentally
shot himself while examining revolver.
The physician told the man to wait and
then telephoned the police.
Patrolman Sauerbnnn Of the Liberty
avenue police station came 20 the house
and closely questioned the man. His re-
plies were unsatisfactory and the patrol
man took him 20 the station house, where
he gave his name as John Reckless, IT,,
2s years old, Of 456 Glenmore avenue.
He was removed TO the Bradford street
hospital.

WHAT TO DO FOR
ITCHING SKINS

Eczema, ringworm and other itching,
burning skin eruptions are so easily
made worse by improper treatment that
one has to be very careful. There Is one
method, however, that you need not hes
itate TO use, even on baby's tender
slsin--that is, the resinol treatment.
Resinol is the prescription of Balti-
more doctor, put up in the form OF res
mol ointment and resinol soap. This
proved so remarkably successful that
thousands Of other physicians have been
prescribing it constantly for 20 years.
Resinol stops itching instantly, and
almost always heals the eruption quick
" and at little cost. Resinol ointment
and resinol soap can be bought at any
druggists.
