PECULIARLINIMENT

Many Michigan people hive already
heard of the discovery by that English
Horse arrier of the peculiar liniment
which made him famous back in the
early 3O's and 40's all along the Hud

the American public well, is known by
the fact that more and more of it ha:
been used since 1916. Here is one Of
thousands of similar cases. Mr.. c

Later MT. Smith bought out Mir. Elliott's interest and established two stores under his own proprietorship-the Elmer E. Smith store on Front street, and the RcXall Store. both in Douglas.
 Besides his drug business Mr. Smith has also built up a very successful music store in Juneau. This estab' lishment, known as the Juneau Music House, is managed by MT. J. P. L. Graves, and handles all sorts of musi cal instruments and carries fine line of phonographs and photograph rec ords.
 In 1889. MT. Smith married Miss Jul ia A. Garner. of Portland. He is a member of the Elks, Masons. Wood men of the World and Eagles lodges and is known as one of the best boosters in Southeastern Alaska.

reserved at the time of settlement shall. by executive order, be taken away from him. For the first time since colonial days. if we except the donation laws relating to Oregon and other Territories it may be stated that a general Act of Congress has provided that a settler may approp- riate a part of the public domain in advance of the survey thereof, and by his act of settlement acquire a legal right to enter-a right, if not a prop erty right, at least one of the larger equity than that acquired by settle ment elsewhere.
 It might be possible if the columns of The Empire were as long as a New York Ballot to show how the American settler has dominated all other land laws of the United States, including the mining laws, and how in turn, the government has taken the mining law-its procedure-as a guide in providing for the appropria- tion of unsurveyed lands in Alaska By the Act of March 3, 1903, the Alaska Settler may locate on land in advance of the public survey, secure a private survey of his 32O acres the law gives him double the area he can get in the States-and make en. try of the same. Although he ac, quires no part of the legal title, his act of settlement upon unreserved land is believed to be the acceptance of an offer of the government that may not be withdrawn without a disregard of a superior equity of the settler.

service to the state in the making of a family, has a homestead right. A deserted woman is qualified home steader. on the theory perhaps. that an opportunity to work on the home stead may bring back a shiftless hus- band.
 The dominant idea of the law is the making of the home. The law works through the head of the fam fly because the fate of the family hangs on the fortunes of the head thereof. In the event of the death of the head of the family the home, stead right by statute remains in the family. It can not be devised away from it.
 Three Years Residence
 Until 1912 a period of five years residence and cultivation was requir ed before title might be secured. The homesteader was permitted to be ab sent from his homestead much as he might be absent for any reason from his home elsewhere, and he was ex pected to cultivate as much of his land as he was able to cultivate. Un der the provisions of the three year homestead act of 1912, the period O. residence was reduced to three year: and it is required that the settler at the end of the three years wher he submits his proof, shall have il cultivation at least one-eighth of tn, area entered. The second year of hi entry the homesteader must have a least one-siXteenth of the total are; in cultivation. Under this act, more ever, the homesteader is required t, show an actual residence on the lant of at least seven months each yea and his absences from the land ma be taken for a period of but fiv months, each year, and upon notic to the land office.

 PauperI1ins HomesteAd Lava
 The Graduation Act and its sue cessful operation. and the agitation of the Free Soil Party induced the homestead bill of 1859. The veto of his bill by President Buchanan is the last expression of the Sales tho ory in the history of the land policy of the United States. The bill pro posed to give to one qualified under Ihe pre-emption laws. except that he did net possess the amount of the purchase price at SIPS per acre. the privilege of appropriating to him. self 160 acres of government land. of settling and residing upon 1t for five years" The price was to be 25 cents per acre. The bill was vetoed because of a constitutional objection urged by President Buchanan that the government had now power to give away trust and that a sale of land for 25 cents an acre amounted to no more than a gift. Fearful of it's influence upon the spirit of self i assertion and independence of the settler the President urged also the remarkable objection that:
 This bill which proposes
 to give him land at almost nominal price out of the
 property of the government
 will go far to demoraliZe the
 people and repress this no-
 ble spirit of independence" Notwithstanding so notable ar objection by the President, the pres ent homestead law was forced on Ma! 20. 1862. On December 3, 1865. con corning this act, Andrew Johnson stated:
 The homestead policy was established only after long
 and earnest resistance. Ex-
 perience proves it's wisdom.
 The lands in the hands of in dustrious settlers, whose la bor creates wealth and contri- butes to the public resources , are worth more to the Unit , ed States. than If they had been reserved as a solitude
 for future purchasers"
 A Home Building Law
 With some modification, the home . stead law of 1862 was the homestea law of the land until 1912. In priI ciple it is the law today.
