Gold From Sweden.

1t was announced yesterday officially
in Washington that in the ten days
ended on March 10 imports OF gold from
Sweden amounted to $3850,00O, and
there Is en- route to New York on the
Carlsholm s3500,00o additional, making
a total thus far this month in excess OF
s7,000,000 The present movement com
prehends the shipment from. Sweden to
New York of total of at least 1000.
900, so that something like S1S,000.O0o
remains to be shipped. Assuming that
the theory that this gold comes from So
Wet Russian, receives the Swedish mint
stamp after melting and then is shipped
to the United States. 1t s interesting TO
note that local bankers estimate, as a
result Of advices from Sweden, that the
Soviets have in their possession no more
than $500. 900, 900 in gold. In the sum-
mer Of 1913 the Russian authorities re-
ported a gold stock in the Bank of Rus
sia amounting to more than f160,000, 600,
the equivalent OF nearly 100000, 900.
In one way or another the gold supply
has been depleted until the present
stocks are only about 40 per cent. of the
aggregate held at the outbreak of war
in 1914.

CURTAIN NOT DOWN
 ON GRAPE INDUSTRY

CLEVELAND, Feb. 5 (by Associat. ed Press) s).-That prohibition did not ring the curtain down on the grape industry was the opinion of delegates attending the recent convention of the national grape growers congress here.
 Though we lost the sour wine trade" L. c. Young, grower of Erie County, Pa, declared, there has been such an insistent demand for grapes for the making of home made wine by the foreign clements, who are wine drinkers that the price of grapes is higher than ever before"
 Last season grape prices reached top mark about $200 ton, it was said. In 1919 they were $8O a ton and in 1914 about $35 a ton.
 W. o. Johnson of Geneva, O., presi- dent of the organization said the shortage of cars last season caused great loss to the growers, because large quantities of fresh fruit were allowed to spoil due to inability to ship.

WOMAN LOSES IN HOMESTEAD
 APPLICATION

Holding that the applicant, Mrs. Harriet S. Pullen, of Skagway, had not lived up to the residence require ments of the three-year homestead law, Register Frank A. Boyle, of the Juneau U. s. land office has made | recommendations to the commissioner of the general land office that Mrs. Pullen's application for patent to homestead at Dyea be denied and final proof be rejected. MT. Boyle indicates that Mrs. Pullen has abund- antly established her good faith by the many improvements she has made on the place which involve according to testimony made by the claimant herself, expenditures approximately $10,000, such testimony not being con- | troverted
 Still Holds Possession
 Commenting on the case, MT. Boyle stated that Mrs. Pullen would remain undisturDed in her rights to posses sion until final decision shall have been rendered by the secretary of | interior. She has a specified time In | which to move for a re-trial before Register Boyle, or to perfect an ap- peal to the department. Until final action has been taken said MT. Boyle, Mrs. Pullen cannot be disturbed in the possession of the homestead. Located in 1915
 During the summer of 1915, Mrs Pullen, who was then the proprietor of the Pullen House at Skagway, pur- chased the improvements of Ernest Richter and one Klatt on their home stead at Dyea. She then located the land herself, soon afterward moving to the place and living in a barn built by Klatt. Reviewing the testi. mony presented at the trial, Register Boyle said: "In October (1915), her son Royal came and lived until March 1916, Of this period, he spent four months on the homestead, and the rest constructing the telephone line When she (Mrs. Pullen), moved to Dyea in 1915 she placed a Japan ese, Joe Toyozumi, and his wife in charge of the hotel at Skagway and employed a Mrs. Bilson and her daughter to assist them. She packed all her personal belongings and gave up her room at the hotel and has never established herself in perma- nent quarters since that time.
 Residence Not Maintained "The testimony of Mrs. Pullen, which conflicts somewhat with that of Tom Brown, witness for the gov ernment, indicates that in the sum- mer of 1916 she employed Brown to look after the homestead. From that time until submission of final proof she did not maintain a continuous residence on the homestead but just went there when necessary. In all she states she has spen approxi- mately 700 days on the place dur Ing the life of the entry. Toyozumi and Mrs. Bilson both testified on be. half of the entry woman. Mrs. Bilson worked at the hotel from June, 1915 to December 1917, and she states that Mrs. Pullen was at the homestead most of the time," and Toyozumi, who worked at the hotel until Decem- Der 1918, testified.
 Before taking the homestead she lived at the hotel. When she took the homestead she gave up every thing and went there. She was at the homestead three times each year and two months each time," Other witnesses for the claimant gave simi- lar testimony.
 Supported Grandchildren.
 Mir Boyle's review continues: "A l record was intro5unad cbou,i,o, 4Lo4
The Cordova daily times., 1921-02-05

Mrs. Pullen's daughter, Mildred, lived on the homestead from April IS, 1917 to July 23, 1918. The evi- dence shows that Mrs. Pullen has supported her three grandchildren who were turned over to her by Mil dred, and she excuses her failure to spend more time on the homestead by the necessity to earn a living for herself and these children. She states that she spent about $10,O0O in im- proving the place and that she is still indebted for about $6,O00 of this amount"
 Among the improvements enumer- ated by MT, Boyle in his decision is a house, large barn, three small barns or stables, a root cellar, and about five acres of land has been broken and cultivated. About 30 acres are used for grazing and hay. There are about 40 head of stock on the place. A telephone line ex- tends from the homestead to the ho- tel in Skagway, which was construct ed in 1915.
The Cordova daily times., 1921-02-05
Recommends Rejection

Final proof was submitted by Mrs. Pullen on July 23, 1919. Charges having been filed alleging that the entrywoman had not maintained A residence on the land as required by the homestead law, the commissioner of the general land office, on Mo- vember 19, 1919, directed proceed fngs to be taken against the appli- cant. The matter was submitted to the Juneau U. S. land office on tes. ttmony taken by stipulation at Skag- way, Fairbanks, and Juneau, Alaska and Seattle.
 Concluding his recommendation MT. Boyle states Mrs Pullen admits she did not maintain an actual con- tinuous residence on the land for seven months out of each year, but states she always gave it her per. sonal attention. Her good faith is conclusively shown by the extensive developments and also by her cutiva- IAOhs IL Is uuLOIIuudLSs LudL Sn0 IdlI6u to comply with the technical provi- sion of the three year homestead law which requires an actual residence of seven months each year. "He also quotes similar cases previously aris. ing and rueld on by the secretary of interior and finds "The decisions of the secretarwy in each of these cases shows that seven months actual resi-. dence must be had before patent can be issued. As the record in this case shows that Mrs. Pullen has not com piled with the law in this respect I am compelled to hold that the charges have been sustained and to recom- mend that the final proof be reject ed''
