 long picnic for there will be less romping out of doors after that bell rings. There was a real sure en- oush picnic basket that insisted on going along. This was filled to the top with fried chicken, a great big cake. and salads, sandwiches, pickles, candies and everything that makes a
 picnic real. There were six little
 kidGies full to the top later on and
 they were sure glad the basket walk
 ed along. The six little kiddies were

 ANOTHER ROUND
 ON SKATER TRACT
General Land Office Con. firms the Decision of the Local U. s.
 Land Office.

The decision of the officers o the local land office that E. Lang Cobb had failed to prove his con tention of conspiracy among the dep uty land office surveyors of Juneau and that he was not entitled to an extension of time in which to com plete the survey work on his appli- cation for patent to the Scatter Tract, las been affirmed by the Commis. sioner of the General Land Office according to advices received on the last mail Mir. Cobb still has thirty days in which to file an appeal from the decision to the Secretary of the Interior.
 The controversy over the Scatter Tract has been fought out before the land office on numerous occas- sions. Mr. Cobb applied for a pat. eat on the tract by virtue of Soldiers Additional Homestead script. He failed to have the survey completed in the time required by law, and the land was at once located by large ituhlOcE OL SGttltins nilO HhFt III proved the land and built themselves homes.
 MT. Cobb applied for an extension of time to complete the survey and alleged conspiracy among the dep uty land office surveyors to pre- vent the completion of the work in the time required. The local officers who heard the testimony in the case held that the contention. of Cobb had not been proven by a preponder ance of the evidence and that the extension of time should not be granted They so held and an ap peal to the Commissioner was ta ken. After reviewing the testimony the commission held with the local officers.
 If an appeal is not taken within the next thirty days, it is probable that the occupants of the land will apply for the appointment of a trus tee and apply for patent to theil townsite lots.
