board of directors express keen regret
in losing such competent man who
has become so popular with the patron
age of tho hotel, in his comparatively
short engagement here, and has given
such unqualified satisfaction.
Mr., Church, who succeeds Manager
Grove next Monday morning, has been
employed with the Portland FIGURING
Mills company, in the capacity of
resident manager in Walla Walla,
Washington, and elsewhere in tho
Northwest for the past fifteen years.
He had charge of the Salem mill Of the
same company as manager up to last
year when the outbreak of the Euro
pean war made ii necessary for the
company to reduce its payroll and Mr..
Church went to work for tho Salem
water company. During the last ses-
SION Of the legislature he was employed
as calendar clerk of the senate and had
just completed his work in that capaci-
ty when the hotel management was Of
fered him and he accepted. He is
possessed of family consisting Of n
wife and three children, has very
engaging and pleasing personality and
1t is believed that he will become quite
popular in his new vocation.
"Thc prospects are exceedingly
bright for n prosperous future for the
hotel', said President Roth, OF the
board Of directors, in discussing the
matter this morning, after the board
had completed the work Of going over
the records for the past year. "We
find everything in a most satisfactory
condition at present, and with the
great amount Of tourist travel that i:
expected during the coming summer
we have right to expect very sue
cessful business year. AS matter OF
fact business is looking up in all lines
aud Salem ought to prosper from this
time on and the hotel business will
certainly get its share of the pros
perity.'

Prisoner to Asylum

New York, March l6.--Harry X.
Thaw will not be returned to New
Hampshire from which he was ex.
tradited to stand trial on charge Of
conspiracy to escape from Matteawan.
The motion filed by his counsel when
he was acquitted Of the conspiracy
charge, that he be set free was denied
by Supreme Justice Page today
The writ Of habeas corpus blocks
Thaw's immediate return to Mat
teawan, however. Before the date set
for the hearing it is expected the ease
will be taken to the supreme court of
the United States.
Justice Page held that the state had
shown no lack of good faith and
Thaw's indictment and trial on charge
OF conspiracy were regular. The states
right to return the prisoner to Mat.
teawan is unquestioned he said. He is
an escaped prisoner and it is imma.

DESERT LAND
RULES STRICT
Government Requires Permanent
Water Right on Land.
SOME RELIEF GRANTED
Many Recent Changes in Laws Make
Final Proof Difficult-Must Show
Full Compliance With Law.

1t will be seen from the following
that the relief granted to those who
have filed on desert entries is very
liberal, yet it would be we'll for the
entryman desiring relief to apply
for advice to any land attorney or
proof f-taking officer.
At the present time our desert laws
and regulations have undergone so
many recent changes that few entry
men fully understand their require
ments, and it therefore devolves on
attorneys and proof taking officers
to look carefully into each case pre-
sented to them and advise the claim
ant, before. further steps are taken,
concerning the entry. This is espe-
cially true with regard to what are
sometimes called "floodwater deserts, "
where inponded flood-waters are re-
lied upon as the sole water supply. 1t
is useless for an entryman to offer
final proof now unless he can show
full compliance with the law and be-
fore notice of intention to make proof
is filed there should be no question
regarding the showing that can be
made.
There are three laws under which
extension of time may be granted.
In every case, however, it must be
shown that the claimant has expended
the required So per acre. No provi-
sion is made for granting extension
of time in which to make yearly proof
of such expenditures.
The first law granting an extension
of time in which to submit proof is

Rex Beach novel of the Alaskan
northland, with such characters as
Dextry, the Broncho Kid, Slap Jack
and the corrupted judge, all played
to perfection, it is not surprising that
audiences in theatres like the New

through the two hours it takes tc

so vivid, the action so strong, the pic

SAY "HELLO."

When you see friend in woe, walk
right up and say, Hello" Say, "Old
Brother, how'd ye do; how's the world
usin' you?" Waltz right up, and
don't be slow, laugh and shake, and say
"Hello!' Slap the brother on the
back; bring your hand down with
whack. His clothes are poor-make
no show, never mind, just say "Hello"!
That home-spun shirt may conceal a
great strong heart, true as steel; that
old coat and shabby vest cuts no ice,
but do your best to make him happy
here on earth and to feel that he's of
worth. Don't you know that such a
chap has every day his sure mishap?
All he needs is hearty cheer to make
him happy while he's here. Don't
let him think, that the earth was
dead against him since his birth.
Crack his she'll, draw him out; don't
let him whine, sulk or pout. Make him
tell you all the woes of his heart be-
fore he goes. Don't tell him he's
chump, but tell him to get up and
hump; tell him not to be so slow, but
get around and say "Hello!" I'm
alive, what can l do to help myself,
as well as you?" Do not wait until
he's dead to strew bouquets around
his head. Nice words spoken are out
of place, if not said before his face.
Make him see that you're his friend,
and will stay such to the end. Yes,
tell him now though he's rough:
"Why, old brother, you're just the
I stuff this world needs to make it 90:
now brace up and cry, 'Hello!"' There
are plenty such about, that are worth
the digging out. In this way you
surely can make him feel that he's a
man. He will always think of you
as his best friend, tried and true. In
! the future you will know what good it
does to say, "Hello"

Obs Statute 55) which only applies to
cases where the claimant has been
prevented by causes beyond his con-
troll from completing his irrigation
works.
Where one extension Of time has
been granted and still claimant is
unable to submit proof an applica-
tion for second extension of time
may be filed under provisions of the
act of April 30, 1912. Public No. 143)
based upon the same reasons as gov
ern in connection with the first appli-
cation for extension of time, namely,
unavoidable delay in construction of
irrigation works.
We now come to the act of March
4, 1915, under which certain applica-
tions for extension of time must be
prepared.
Those who took in good faith, but
through ignorance failed to select
suitable lands were unable to meet the
requirements of the desert law as it
is now being construed by the land
department and many of them have
spent large sums in an effort to re-
claim lands which cannot be reclaimed
for want of sufficient water supply
We now come to the consideration
of those cases in which an extension
of time would do no good for the
reason that there is no available wat
er supply sufficient for the reclama-
tion of the entry.
Before preparing an application for
this form of relief it should be as
certained first, that the entry is a
lawful pending entry made prior to
July l, 1914, and if the entry has
been assigned, that such assignment
,, was made prior to March 4, 1915; sec
ond, that So per acre has been ex-
pended on the entry according to law
and the required annual proofs have
been made, or can be made and sub

ficient water to reclaim the entry

were granted. If all of these condi.
tions exist then the entryman falls
