Robertson, a well-known resident of the lower Rogue river val ley, was drowned in the Rogue Sun day morning while fishing on the riffle at the Bybee mine, 12 miles below Grants Pass. i f Robertson, in ' company with Jim Cox, an old miner, haa cone to the river early in the morning. Robert son waded out on the riffle, and was using a gaff to catch the salmon as they would run up into the shallow water. He had just gaffed a big salmon at the head of the pool below the riffle, when Cox, who was on the shore, 6aw him fall and go into the deep water of the pool. Robertson was known to be a good, strong swimmer, and when he disappeared beneath the water, Cox thought he had dived on purpose. A few mo ments later, however, Robertson rose to the surface of the water to sink again almost immediately. Cox then realized that Robertson for some reason was not able to help himself, evidently making no effort to swim, and ran to the Robertson house near ly a mile distant for assistance. Parties who returned with a boat found Robertson's body lying at the bottom of the pool, only a few ttA from the west bank of the river, and in six feet of water. When recov ered it had been in the water two hours and fifteen minutes and resus citation was impossible. At the point where the accident occurred a bend in the river sets the current in toward the west bank, but the water was not bad enough to hav drowned Robertson ordinarily, as he was raised on the river, knew all of its currents, and was an expert swimmer. " From the fact as evi denced by the statemtnt of Mr. Cox, the only eye-witness, that th- drown ing man made no attempt to save himself by swimming, it is thought that possibly he may have fainted, or have been suddenly stricken with heart disease, though he was not known to have suffered from fither cause. Those who were present when the body was taken from the water say that the lungs seemed not to be filled with water, which they be lieved indicated that he was not breathing when under the water. WOOL RILL PASSED. Tariff Schedule Now Up to Taft for Signature. Washington, D. C. The confer ence report on the compromise La Follette-Underwood wool tariff bill has been adopted by the senate, 35 to 28. Six progressive republican senators joined the democrats. The compromise bill goes at once to Taft for his signature, and it is identical with the one he vetoed in 1911. The progressives who voted for the wool tariff revision were Bristow, Clapp, Crawford, Gronna, La Follette and Works. Senator Cummins of Iowa was paired against the measure. He said that if free to vote he would oppose it. because he believed that a 20 per cent ad valorem duty on wool was much lower than could be justified by a study of the report of the tariff board.

Following is a synopsis of the instructions issued by the secretary of the interior for the administration of the new three year homestead law: Period of residence reduced from five to three years, to count from the time actual residence is estab lished. . Proof must be submitted within five years of date of entry. Cultivation of not less than one sixteenth, beginning with the second year, and not less than one-eighth, beginning with the third year and until final proof. Mere breaking is not sufficient", seed must be planted in good faith. Grazing not accepted except as to certain lands opened to entry ui.der special acts providing therefor. Secretary will not reduce the re quired area of cultivation because of any physical or financial disabilities of the entryman, but only where ex action of the statutory area is un reasonable on account of peculiar conditions of soil; applications for such reduction must be made during first year on forms furnished by local land offices. These applica tions are pasHed upon by the commis sioner, with right of approval to the secretary. Soldiers and sailors must reside on entries one year before receiving credit for service; must show cultiva tion of not less than one-eighth for at least one year. Entrynien cannot receive consider ation from the commissioner of appli cations to extend beyond the ordi nary period of six months, the period allowed for establishment of resi dence, but the homesteader's right will be adjudicated when the ques tion is raised. Homesteaders must go upon the land as soon as hinder ing cause is removed. Absence for five months in each year allowed, but continued resi dence as to the other seven must be shown. Two five-month periods of absence, although in different years of the entry, will not be allowed; six months' absence renders entry sub ject to contest. Extended periods of absence only respected in final proof or contests, where notices of such ab sence have been given, both at begin ning and upon return. Former laws as to 'absence not repealed. When an entryman dies his widow or legal successor may make .up the three-year period, residence not be ing required of the widow or other heir, and only cultivation being nec essary. Proof of non-compliance made against the entryman before his death will cancel the entry, how ever. Unless an application to make proof under the old law is made on or before October 4, 1912, the entry becomes subject to the provisions of the new law; the required residence is thus reduced to three years, but specific cultivation requirements of the new law must be shown. Proof must; be made within five years. Any hardship resulting from this is eliminated by the ruling that one having an entry under the old law may show cultivation of required areas named in the new law for any two successive years. Other hard ships possible to arise under failure to elect are to be adjudicated by the secretary of the interior and attorney general. Where the price of a tract is re quired to be paid, installments fall ing beyond the period of residence required by the new law, proof may be submitted as in other cases, but final certificate will not issue until all installments are paid. Entries under section 6 of the en larged homestead (lands In Utah and Idaho only) law must still be culti vated as before one-eighth the sec ond and one-fourth the third, fourth and fifth years, with seven years for final limit of proof. The new act applies to entries un der reclamations acts and to Kinkaid entries in Nebraska, except as to cul tivation. Persons having entries made be fore June 6, 1912, are warned that it may not be to their advantage to have their entries adjudicated under the new law, and are urgea to con sider the matter carefully. Desiring to submit proof under the laws un der which their entries were made, they must notify the local land office by registered mail before October 4, 1912. FREE DELIVERY SERVICE. Foots Creek District Now Assured of Mail Route. That the Foots creek district will have a rural free delivery service, and that very shortly, was assured by the receipt of papers relative to the application from the postoffice department by Postmaster John Hanimersly last week. Nothing but the formal red tape of official pro cedure intervenes betweu the time when the fourscore residents of this locality will receive a daily mail, ex cept Sundays, through the medium of of the rural free delivery service. That the application has been so hap pily granted-is due almost solely to the Industry and perseverance of Postmaster Hanimersly, who circu lated a petition among the prospect ive patrons, securing 104 signers. This was done in April, since which time the department has beeu con sidering the rival claims of Gold Hill and Rogue River, which latter city also forwarded a petition to the de partment praying that they be ai pointed distributing center for the proposed route. The advantageous position of Gold Hill, however, car ried the day, and by the first of next mouth the service will be inaugu rated. H lg assumed that Postmas ter Hanimersly will at the time ap point a temporary carrier, until the necessary examinations have been taken by the applicants and the reg ular carrier granted his commission.
