SECTION LINES
NOT ESSENTIAL
Attorney General Says Sui
phur Claims Valid; Lines
Are Not Followed.

Austin. Texas Aug. 26.-The attor-
ney general today rendered an opin-
ion to the commissioner of the general
land office. relative to the form OF lo-i
cations Of placer claims under the min
eraI act of 1913.
Refers To CuIberson County.
The occasion for the commissioner
question was number of locations in
Culberson county. for the purpose of
prospecting for sulphur. The opinion
Of the attorney general holds that the
purpose is that such locations shall
conform TO the section lines when I'M
der all the circumstances il is feasible
and reasonable for them to do SO. II
is held in the opinion that the law
does not contemplate that the prOspec-
Tor or locator be accompanied by I
surveyor.
Section Lines Not Marked.
It is pointed out that in Culberson
county and in most of those portions
OF the state where miners live. the
section lines have not been marked and
defined so that a locator can find them
and follow them without a surveyor.
and the opinion holds that under such
circumstances it IS not practicable that
the claims follow the section lines and
that a location under such circum-
stances is valid, even though it does
not parallel the section lines. and even
though il may cross the section lines.
The law is given A liberal coustruc-
ton TO encourage the development of
the mineral resources of the state.

Candidate Hughes must prove agreat
disappointment to his party in his
speaking tour of the country. His
speeches are lacking in force and
originality and made up principally of
criticisms of his opponent, the latches
of whose shoes he is unworthy to unlose.
He gives no intimation of what he
would have done if in Wilson's place.
contenting himself with words that
border on abuse and which make him
ridiculous, lowering the csmpaign for
the highest office almost to the level of
the constable's race. When corrected
in fragrant mis-. statements against the
administration, ne either fails to make
amends or does so in such a way as to
increase the gravity of the offense.
The republican candidate is proving him
self very small man and unworthy of
the office he seeks. His TRADES against
President Wilson are not making him
any votes, as the people know what
the president has done for the country
and they will teach the former justice
Of the supreme court a lesson in
manners that will last him for all time.

thing to do Is to close all the openings
except one. over this opening place
a bee escape or else long wire
cone shaped so that the bees can es-
cape outward through the cone, but
cannot get back.
A hive containing fun sheets or
combs Of foundation should be placed
as near the escape as possible. In
this hive one frame Of brood should
he placed, and the beekecper should
be sure that both eggs ana Matching
larvae are present The bees will soon
begin to come out Of the hollow tree

Within three or four weeks. when
the bees are settled in the new hive
md the queen bee Is laying, the escape
may be removed. The bees Will then
enter the hollow tree or the house and
bring out the honey which they had
stored there. After the honey has
been entirely removed the hive may
be removed TO any other location de-
sired. The entrance TO the old tree
or house should then be closed up.
