have struggled with the postal depart
ment for second-class mail privileges, and
butted against the stone wall of a depart
ment conclusion which would not be altered, '
will sympathize with the effort being made
to have established the riglt of appeal
from post office department officials to
the courts on such questions as the fraud
order, classic'als, etc. For a period the
officials of the department held to the
ruling that a mining piper publishing the
boosting reports usual or the average
mining camp, forfeited its right to second
class privileges, unless its mining news
embraced more than one district. This
ruling was adhered to after the officials
were shown that some of the papers cov
ering several districts had more of the
"hot air' news than those confining their
optimism to a single district. But because
tnere had been a ruling, it had to stand,
In regart to fraud orders, there las
been little complaint, save from vict ms
who had attached to operations a strong
shade of suspicion. Issuance of a fraud
order is a great power, but one that seems
not to have beon abused in such manner
as to enlist public interest. It 'is prob
able that whatever it finally done in the
way of giving court review to complain
ants coining frc n t ie post 0 11:3 depart
ment, will be confined to fraud order
caees. The coiiiinitt.ee on judiciary of the

a second application will be received fir

name of the reserve and describe the land,
examination of which is requested, by
subdivisions, section, township and range
if surveyed, and if not surveyed, by re
ference to natural objects, streams or im
provements with sufficient accuracy to
identify the land. Areas known to have
oeen occupied by ictual settlers prior to
January 1, 1906. will be examined first,
and when such areas are found chiefly
valuable for agriculture they will be
listed, in order that the occupants may
make entry under the Act, The mere
fact that a man has settled upon land,
will, howaver, not influence the decision
with respect to its agrcu'tural character.
