Women Get Homesteads.

Lewiston Tribune. THE commits
sioner of the general land office at
Washington, by the text of decisions
reaching here yesterday, affirmed the
decision handed down by the register
and receiver of the local land Office in
the cases of the United States VS..
Della Griffith and Mary H. Mix, in
volving homestead possessions in the
st. Joe National forest reserve.
The actions brought against the two
contestees were identically the same,
the government agents alleging fail
ure to establish and maintain a resi-
dence on the lands in question; that
the required amount of cultivation had
not been carried on, and that in both
instances the land was being sought
for speculative purposes, each tract
containing approximately $500, 600
feet of timber. In handing down a
decision the commissioner cited the
decision in the case of the government
against Jacob A. Harris, this being
brought out to establish that the stat
ute of limitations had run before the
United States sought to declare the
entries valid. The local officials
handed down their decisions favorable
to both contestees on the same grounds,
that the statute of limitations had
run, this being two years. In both
cases the land will pass to patent.

Build Permanent Roads

So far as possible public roads
should be constructed permanently be-
cause it is cheaper than continual tenn
porary repairing. An illustration of
this is shown in the exceptionally bad
piece of street along the railroad
track in front of the telephone office.
We remember how this was almost
impossible last spring-a bottomless
mire that was hub deep. Last fall
the railroad company rocked this road
and covered it with gravel. Now it
is sound and has never been bad since.
Another example is to be seen on the
street from the public school corner
east to the Christian church. Some
of this road was fierce. It would
mire a duck during the fall and
spring. Good roads day the citizens
rocked and graveled this block, and
this spring, when the mud came, it
was solid and dry.

 T regard the position taken by
 President Wilson. Secretary of State
 Bryan, the presidents cabinet as firm. Hays. My confidence in President Wilson and his cabinet is such that believe they will be able to work out the proposition fir a way that will re feet honor and credit upon the coun.
 try and at the same time prevent f'l-
 ture destruction of American lives in such incidents as that that befell the | Lusitania And l believe they will ae-
 complish this without more serious complications with the German gor. ernment than already exist.
 Germany certainly recognizes the righteousness of President Wilson S demands, and. tfter all. right and jus. tiee must prevail.
 .I think in dealing with all great and important questions. coolness ard deliberation, as war used by Presi- dent Wilson, should be exercised and Ill this instance President Wilson cer tainly has proved himself to be the man of the hour, and equal in all re speets to the occasion. do not be lieye it wise for any one in authority to deal with grave questions in an ar bitrary and inoonsiderate way. and this has not been done by the presi- dent.
