 His line in tribute to Tennyson "in lucem tram situs Brother of the greatest poets true to nature, true to art") might ftly be repeated of him.

FUR-FARMERS ENTITLED TO
 HOMESTEADS.

Correspondence to The Empire from the office of Delegate Dimond in Washington reveals that he has introduced a measure to permit fur-farmers' operating ranches under the leasing system Ill AL aska to enter under homestead laws and obtain patent to not more than 160 acres of land The measure is identical with introduced on the same subject last year by then Delegate Wickersham but which was not acted on by Congress.
 Only few days ago. the Alaska Legislature, by memorial urged Congress to pass such law. It considered the very thoroughly before taking that step and its view represents that of majority of Alaskans.
 Under all precedent, these pioneers in unique industry are entitled to the consideration sought. The lands they hold under lease are part of the public domain They have been classified as more suitable for the raising of furbearing animals than for any other purpose The traditional policy Of the United States the that most largely instru- mental in the countrys great growth in the nine eenth century to get the public lands into private ownership. That is the only reasonable method of tying a people to the land. Ownership is the only thing that will do it. It is the only way so far devised to make the people self-supporting
 The flr-farmers of Alaska are asking for nothing that was not granted to stockraisers of the West. There homesteads of $40 granted. The local fur-farmers ask for only 160 acres They are not asking for the public lands to be thrown wide open to them for that purpose They willing to first established themselves build their plants and stock their operating for period of two years before making entry. They further agree to add an other three years bringing the total and occu- pancy to five years and in addition to pay the sum of S250 per for the land.
 They entitled to this to protect their invest ments in buildings of all kinds for themselves and their stock. Under the leasing system they have none They have title only to the improvements, which listed personal property, and if for any they lose their leases that investment isn't worth much It is impossible to move the improve ments off the leaseholds. and lacking title to the land upon which they stand, they have no market value under such conditions. This ought to be changed without delay.

HOPE FOR SPEEDY RECOVERY.

The illness of Delegate Dimond forced to undergo an operation for appendicitis in Washington last Sunday is matter of deep concern to all Alaskans All of them without regard for party of course are glad to hear that he is improving and the wish is universal in the Territory that his recovery will be speedy
 Every Alaskan who has been in Washington since he assumed office has been impressed with the lne showing he making in Congress. Gov Troy OH his return home and since then, has remarked on more than one occasion that the Delegate has already earned standing that might well be envled by members of the House of several years service HIS fine personality unusual ability and deep sincerity have combined to win for him and for the Ierrl- tory he represents ably many friends both in the House of Representatives and with Senators With whom he has come into contact.
 No Alaskan who is acquainted with Delegate Di- mond will be surprised at that. It was what they expected of him. And he has been right on the job all the time He has maintained the closest of contacts with the Alaska Legislature advising them on matters of legislative interest pending in Congress and suggesting how advantage may be taken of it.. His illness at this time is unfortunate coming just as he was getting his program fairly well launched.
 The only fear is that he will attempt to return to work before he should. He is not inclined to save himself as much as he ought to do That has been demonstrated here many times during his career as a member of the local Legislature, and last Fall during his campaign when he suffered painful and well-nigh fatal accident. We hope he will not do it now The first thing is for him to completely regain his health so that he can return to work in shape to accomplish all of the really important projects he has in mind for the Ter ritory.
