FARMERS FEAR
LANDS WILL

DENVER, Oct. 16-tR-An incip-
lent land var troubled many COL
orado farmers today, despite rs
surance from the department OF the
interior that they would not lose
their property as a result OF adj
justment Of the railroad land grants
Of 1857.
Assurance that farm families
would not be evicted in favor OF
homesteaders was litt's consolation
to the many who did not receive
proper title or deed from the Union
Pacific railroad when they bought
the land more than a half century
ago.
Land office attaches said these
would have legal difficulty In re-
sisting the claims Of a Jumper"
The area in question embraces
nearly 10000 acres, which the in
terror department held TO be the
excess of the 1867 grant to the Union
Pacific.
Present owners of the Ind, the
local land office announced, must

lands were allotted the railroads.
Many Of the farmers who grew
old on the soil have retired and

Farm leaders said the fee OF Sl25
an acre, because OF present agri-
cultural conditions. will prove an
unbearable burden.

By agreement with Commission e. O'Maley, their four trap locations were closed and they employed resident seiners Hghboa5 cured over 80,000 salmon, ranging down to 3o,o0o The average earnings in this cannery Is higher than in most of the other canneries.
 Fidalgo Island Pillar Bay employed only threc seine crews this summer. They earned nothing until the week before the season closed when Mc Carl Sutter, manager, sent his crews out to oper- ating traps and told them to load up Their earn ings that week climbed up to $500 per man. Not 50 much to brag about but considerably better than the most of the other crews.

LET GEORGE DO TT

For the past ten years the Alaska Native Bro- therhood has fought battle, with all the odos aoainst them to secure legislation and regulation of Alaskas fisheries that would be of general ben- eft to ALL Alaskans. That they have made any rrogress is wonder when remembers that besides fighting the racial prejudice stirred up by politicians who seek any means to retain controi of Alaskas affairs, they also fought the Cln plate industry the allied canners, the railroad and oth- er transportation companies and the banking in- stitutions of America And still, With nlckels ana eines coming in from widows and orphans and the small amounts others could spare these '3- :.orant illiterate Indians fought to secure bet ter economic condition for all Alaskans who would benefit under more favorable fishery regulations
 They 4Cught alone. They secured not the aid nor assistance of the troers, nor the halibutmei' the gill netters nor even from the White hsher men But these all cheered on the unequal ba,-e, ready to accept any benefit from the effort, but unwilling to give any assictance in the terrific struggle.
 This summer several white fishermen were asked to photographs and other evidence of violation of Section of the Law of 1924 pre- sent it to the District Attorney and start legal machinery to check up the highhanded disre- gard of the law by trap owners. Not one would do single thing. They were afraid to start any, thing for fear of reprsals by the canners. But ttey were willing that the Indians start some thing. Said one, "The only thing is for about 100 boats to start out together and tear out the leads oi the traps right in the mid-season." Said one Indian in reply, Twill you start to gather the men to do such thing and will you assume respons- ibility for conspiring to do an unlawful act?" He was not. That's that

GOLF BALL TO

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-The bal loon" golf ball has made it's exit with the announcement by H. H. Ramsay, president of the United States Golf Association, that the executive committee had adopted new and heavier ball, effective January 1, 1882.
 MT. Ramsay's announcement fol- lows:
 Effective for play January l., 1892, the size of the golf ball shall be not less than 1.68 inches in diameter, and the weight shall be not greater than 16.2 ounces avoir- dupois.
 The foregoing specifications re- tain the size of the present ball and change the weight specified tion back to the weight of the old ball"
 The "ballooon" ball, which has borne the official seal of approval for the last year, weighed only 1855 ounces and was the object of wide spread complaint that it was too light to hold it's true course in the wind
 The executive committee, which was in session almost twelve hours passed no other important legisla ton, said President Ramsay. It did not set dates for the 1882 Walker Cup matches, which, it is rumored may be postponed for year.
