During this time 230 new contests
were initiated, and practically as
many cases decided.
Final proofs are considered within
a few days after their receipt by
the office, and where the proofs are
sufficient and regular, final certifi.
Gates are issued within a month, and
most cases within a few days. Where
there is delay it is due to further
evidence being asked for, protest by
the field department, or awaiting fl
nal action Of the department. But in
all departments an effort is always
made to get final certificates issued
as fast as possible, or in case Of re-
lection to have the same noted with
out delay.
The land officials desired it under
stood that they are always willing and
ready to answer any questions con-
corning public lands in this district,
and to assist anyone who is interest
ed in taking up tho public lands OF
the United States. Their advice is
time upon request, either personal or

Is Supposed that
Allen Had Gold Mine

| An echo Of the operations of o. v
Allen, the defaulting state treasurer
VINO is now in tho penitentiary, de-
veloped in an action brought by At.
torney James M. Stevens in this city
before the district court at Salmon
City few days ago, in which a re.
ceiver was asked for the Idaho Bond
& Loan company.
The court acQuiesced and has an.
pointed Tim Dore as such receiver.
Associated with Judge Stevens is At
torney c. R. Clute of Blackoot, and
the suit was instituted at the insti-
cation of several parties who seek re-
covery OF amounts paid on notes to
the Allen combination Attys, Rich.

company.
1t seems that the tond and lean
concern, of which o. v. Allen was
president. did very thriving BUSH
ness in the Lemhi and other sections.
and 1t is stated that people were in
duced to make large investments in
the concern, and some of them
may get some protection in that they
furnished notes in lieu Of cash. It
Is stated further that the assets of
the company, so far as developed, ap-
pears to be about $4,000, which is
not enough, on the basis Of liabilities

The state Of Idaho selected SIS lien
land selections during tho year.
When 1t 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 county shar-
ing in the increase. The taking up OF
SO much land means that the day is
not far distant when the real prop
erty assessment of all counties will
be enormously increased. and the
wealth subject to the burden of taxa
ton be accordingly largely enhanced.
During the ten months mentioned
the land office receipts in money was
considerably more than 100000, and
for the entire year of 1914 was $121,.
96O.86.
1t is safe to say that these entries
will average at least 200 acres each,
desert land applications were for 800
acres each, and if this be true no less
than 100000 acres were entered dur
ing the ten months mentioned, and
the year would run well up towards
], ZOO, 900 acres. Not all these appli'
cations win be patented by those
who have entered them, but If they
are not by the present claimants, they
certainly will be some day by Others
who will como later and enter them
again. It is a conservative estimate
to say that at least 100000 acres Of
lands taken up this past year will be
patented during the next five years
When one considers that the dis
trict has been organized for more
than thirty years, and that during the
recent years especially this scramble
for lands has been almost as large
as 1914, one can at least form scme
estimate as to the size of the vast
| empire covering cdSONAA AudhO, aAN
it's capabilities in the way Of taking
care of an enormous population. The
fact is that this section of Idaho Is b.
ginning to demonstrate to the worlt
just what it can do in tho way o
providing homes for tens Of Thousand
of settlers, which in turn means
great number of large cities and sma
towns, and a consequent large com
mercial business.

The foregoing is a synopsis OF the
business transacted at the Blackfoot,
Idaho. land office for the ten months
beginning March 1. 1914, and ending
Dec. 81, 1914. From the figures shown
it will be seen that the Blackfoot Of
flee district is rapidly being settled
and that the vacant lands of the en-
braced counties are being entered in
enormous aggregate amounts. Years
ago it was confidently asserted that
about all the vacant lands fit for cul-
tivation had been taken up in the dis
trict, yet the fact remains that 1914
was the largest year for business in
the Blackfoot office, and the new year
promises to keep the record we'll nigh
tho high water mark, though it is
doubtful If such a years business will
ever again be repeated.

Paid Promoters Thrive on

Another of the, many falIacies of prohibition is editorially commented on by the New Y ork Evening Sun, ITa- der the caption of Wasting Money as follows:
 One of the arguments frequently heard in favor of prohibition is that vast sums of money wouId-be saved under a national prohibition law which are. now spent for intoxicants The t.drink bill' is figured out in de- tail and such expenditure is called complete waste of just so much money.
 Philadelphia, despatch tells of the proposed campaign of the National Abstainers' Union in which it is pro- posed ''to spend several hundred thou sand dollars annually" It is said that $1o0,00o of this tremendous fund is to be devoted each year to the con- ducting of a press bureau under the

Will Salve Emden
 For Show Purposes

Sydney Australia, Aug 27=A Especially organized syndicate of Syd- tney contractors which as announced l by cable. has received permission to cruiser Emden will begin work about the middle of this month. The wrecked sea raider lies on the reefs f of Keeling Island in the Cocos group
 in the Indian Ocean where she was beached after the Australian cruiser
 Sydney defeated her last November in a hot running fight, The company
 which will undertake the task of pre-
 serving the former German craft in
 tends to use her for .Ashow purposes,
 but the Defence Department has stip-
 uIated that later she must be sold to the Australian government at a price Eto be fixed by It..
 A novel feature of raising the cruiser. will be the use of reinforced concrete in stopping the gaping holes in the. hull made by the Sydney's ter rible broadsides. When the Endea has been hoated and patched up she will be lowed 500 miles to Java. to ibeA made seaworthy In her use as an exhibition of modern naval war fare great care will be taken to pre- serve the vessel in as nearly as pos .sible the condition she was in when she was driven ashore by her cap- tain.
 The work of the wreckers, who will number about 50 all told, will not be without its romantic phases. Keel ing Island lies somewhat apart from the main ACocos group and is lonely and urinF1abited. It is coral atol1, and it and the surr ounding seas of the most tropical character. The salvers, who will have a steamer filled with provisions and stocked with wrecking machinery and contrivaa- ces, will be 4,0Oo miles from Sydney, 1000 from Cey1on and 1, 600 from Freemantle. the chief port on the West Australian coast.

 If somebody were to suggest tnae these star-eyed fIy-gobblers hope to bring some of the influential news papers in the country fin touch" with their well advertised fund it would be scarcely more absurd than to sup pose that such an organization will be able to buy prohibition with it's fund or to get any tangible return for it's open-handed expenditure. It will be allowed-nay encouraged-to spend it's money. no doubt. But, be it remembered, the waste of money in drink is no more waste than the waste of money in talk.
 At present the prohibition agitation is largely financial affair. If the paid promoters were eliminated, a good deal of noise would be quited.
