In 1914 the land was surveyed, and as soon as q
surveyors plat was filed in the land office Bill filed
his homestead claim.
Now appears that the Northern Pacific claims the land
the ground that il has renquished title TO H. aho
has failed to survey II in accordance with the hand grant
until after Bull had made bona fide settlement In this
contention the IT, s. land office sides with the company,
aho supreme court decisions quoted quite the contrary
To remedy this situation. which only affects Bull but
many other bona fde settlers Senator Pondexter of Wash
ngton. secured the passage of bill determining the tue
IN favor or the settlers The bill has been passed but the
department of the interior refuses il is claimed to abide
10y it,
1t therefore that Bun and others, in his plight
must appeal TO the courtsa matter that at best would
mean five to ten OF litigation at enormous cost
Would It not be appropriate for Senator Poindexter
II his bill means what it says he should make that very
clear to the department
Ii peculiar that the rights Of bona fide settlers
should be completely ignored in favor of railroad com
pay that has doubt been made wealthy by free lands
gwen IT, IL might be pertinent TO inquire whether the
money thus obtained had gone into better railroad service
as contemplated by the land grant whether had been
sunk into private pockets
In any event. where the company has failed TO survey
lands where they have remained idle and they have been
taken by bona de settlers Uncle Sam ought TO be big
enough 10 enforce the settlers claims always in
tended
Senator Pondexer hasn't finished his job in this matter
lie might inquire for instance, to why the company Is
offering scrip for lands in Alaska in exchange for Bulls
farm Is the department of the interior trying to force
Washington settlers into Alaska for of its ownP
In the meantime the goat industry The long
arm of the Northern Pacific has been powerful enough to
haass this settler. at least thai he has been com
PEELED to abandon industry Of which ye Northwest could
have been justly proud.

FIRE PREVENTION
CAMPAIGN URGED
Chairman Warner of Conservation
Committee Asks for the Co
operation of Everybody.

'Fir Prevention Day this year has a
special significance for us in Wilmington,
says A. u. Warner, Jr., chairman of the
Committee on Conservation and Fire
Prevention. Unfortunately our COM
muniiy has not kept pace with other pro-
grv~Sivc communities In the matter OF
providing adequate protection against
tir~. our city has grown rapidly in
populat,on and extent; our wealth has
increased, and more than ever there
h very urgent need for us TO revise our
former practice in the matter of conserva-
tion and fire prevention. This applies not
only to our present facilities for control
ling fires, but also To the laws and or
,l,nanccs which we have in effect on the
subject of building regulations and which
have an immediate bearing on the elimina-
ton of fire risks IN buildings now erected
and those which will be const ricted in
the future. The annual waste in lives and
property through fire IN the United States
i causing serious uneasincss and there
- n concerted effort everywhere 10 avoid
a. We IN Wilmington share IN this waste;
We should not fail To- join with those who
are trying 30 climinate It
The response of citizens generally to
the appeal OF these men and wo men who
have hccn spreading the message of Con-
seryation and Fire Prevention during the
past year, very definitely indicate an
intelligent awakening to Wilmington's
danger Yet there is much more that can
he done, and feel so earnestly as TO what
fre prevention means 10 our city that |
would like TO sec every IN an woman and
child regard II rs one of the paramount
ISSUES of these times.
Probably there ! S no proposition upon
II. r
EMPLOYERS. employees and tax payers
generally, Is more intimately interlooked
than that Of hre prevention. To prevent
the occurrence of iircs means the preven-
lion Of a oonfagration which threatens
this community at all times; and in max
Jug more remote the probability of a con-
tlagration we are lnsIring our authorities
against unnecessary burdens We are
keeping our many mercantile and manu-
featuring establishments from serious
naneial embarrassment. we are warrant
iug our thousands of workers continuity
ui employments, while the taxpayers
which includes all Of us, are saved from
"a unprecedented increase In tax rate.
10 seems To me, therefore, that the
prevention of hrcs-and thrce-quarters
oi them are preventable-is squarely up
e. al the people, all the tune. And Il VIC
can couple with such feeling of individual
Every evening, Wilmington daily commercial., 1920-10-05

responsibility an organization Of trained
and disciplined fire-hghters, as would be
the case with paid fire department.
then | am sure that the menace which 50
many of ,s fear, will be far removed from
the probability of occurring.
1 trust the approaching National
Fire Prevention Day may carry its full
significance to all. The great President
Abraham Lincoln once said; hkc to sec
a man proud Of the place In which he
lives. like to see man live in it 10 that
his place will be proud of him"
'sNo person can be proud of city which
tolerates preventable fires. Neither can
