containing forty acres and described
as a quarter of Il quarter Of a section.
Owing to the shpe Of the earth, to
streams and bodies Of water. to irreg-
ulany surveyed tracts, and many eth

regular pieces Of land which cannot

These are surveyed into 'lots" and

visions that corner ON each other are
not considered as joining, but where
two subdivisions lapo yer each 9th

but in taking a homestead of this
shape the entry is subject to contest
on the grounds that it was not taken

Charges Morgan-Cu Interests Destroyed De-

BOLD ASSERTIONS ARE
 MADE TO COMMITTEE
Seattle Chamber of Com- merce Is Drawn Into Dis
 cussion by Chairman New.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1o.-Johr Ballaine, who appeared before the Territorial Committee of the Senate yesterday afternoon and charged the Morgan-Guggenheim interests were destroying Alaska, made many as sertions.
 ea One assertion was that the two companies controlled by the Morgan Guggenheim interests were destroy ing the independent development of Alaska through discrimination against the public use of the water transportation facilities.
 Ballaine claimed that the two com. panies controlled by the Morgan Guggenheim interests refused to call for freight except when they regard ed 1t worth while in quantity.
 Ballaine further asserted the com panies not only discriminated in the quantity of the freight but in the quality and discriminated in the freight rates. In his latter asser' tion, Ballaine claimed the discrim- ination in rates were made in favor of consignments from various prop critics.
 Ballaine added that halibut fish ing by private interests had actual ly been driven out of Alaska be- cause no cargo space was allowed.
 The Seattle Chamber of Commerce was brought into the hearing when Chairman Harry s. New, of Indiana, asked why the Chamber had not taken steps to break what Ballaine called "the monopoly"
 Ballaine replied that until recently the "Guggenheims controlled the board of trustees of that institu- tiOn" and he had been denied a hearing before the Seattle Chamber of Commerce.

Claim for Million Acres
 Of Land Before High Court

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The Su- preme Court of the United States today took under advisement the motion of the Texas Cherokee As sociated Tribes to review their claim to more than 100000 acres in Texas. The contention is that in 1922 the Indians settled on the unoccupied land in the eastern DOT tion of the state. then part of Mexico, and that the Republic of Texas recognized the claim and signed a treaty which was later re. pudiated and the Indians were driv. en from the land.

New Instrument Invented
 Registers Bridge Shocks.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 15.-A new instrument which 1t is believed will do away with uncertainty in design ing and building bIiGe S has been devised by the Bureau of Public Roads of the Department of Agricul- ture The instrument measures with scientific precision every shock and blow delivered by moving vehicles in crossing a bridge.
 The device. which can be ate ched to any part of the bridge structure. makes a photographic record of the effect of the moving load. The amount of stretching or shortening due to shock is represented by a fine black line on the photograph. No blow or shock can be delivered so
The Alaska daily empire., 1921-11-15

quickly that the instrument will not record it.
 As engineers heretofore have been unable to measure the effect of quickly delivered impacts or to pro- portion the various parts of a bridge with absolute assurance, 1t has been necessary to make a lib eral allowance for this unknown quantity. In some cases the allow ance has not been sufficient and bridges have collapsed under moving loads.
 Recent experiments with motor trucks have shown. it is said at the bureau. that a swiftly moving truck may strike a blow equivalent to seven times it's actual weight.
