MOXEY IS MUCH EASIER.
Eiiroie and America Show Improved
Condition.
Henry Clews says of the world's fi
nancial condition:
The most significant event of the
week wag the successful underwriting
of the 140,000,000 Pennsylvania 4 per
cent bonds. This is a very gratifying
indication of revival of confidence, as
well as positive proof of improve
ment In monetary conditions.
Another pleasing feature connected
with the transaction Is that practi
cally one-half of the Issue Is to be
placed abroad; a very practical dem
onstration that there Is a reviving
foreign market for American invest
ments of unquestionable security, es
pecially when they are backed by
management of good reputation.
There is solid encouragement in the
fact that prominent foreign bankers
are once more willing to finance our
best American railroad properties.
Europe, however, la still in a very
discriminating mood, consequently it
would be premature to anticipate any
general Influx of foreign capital into
this market.
During the next six or 12 months
several hundred millions of railroad
obligations will mature and must be
extended or refunded In some fash
Ion or another, hence It is a relief to
know that Europe will take a portion
of our high grade Investments.

ffiMEIT CANNOT GONFISCATE
ID OF ML SETTLERS
The Yakima Republic says of a de
cision of Judge Whitson of the fed
eral court of Washington regarding
the relinquishment of land- for the
benefit of the reclamation service, a
topic of much interest In Umatilla
county:
Judgo Whitson, of the district court
of the United States, has handed down
his opinion In the case of the United
States against Chris Hanson, In which
for the first time a Judicial decision
Is given respecting the right of the re
clamation service to take possession
for reclamation purposes of unsurvey
ed government lands upon which
homestead or other rights have been
acquired under the law permitting
bona fide settlers to enter unsurveyed
lands and to have preferential right
to make entry upon them for JO days
after the filing of the survey.
Judge Whitson upholds the view ot
Attorney H. J. Snlvely, counsel for
the defendant In the above action, and
decides against the contentions of Dis
trict Attorney A. G. Avery and his as
sistant, J. B. Lindsey, declaring that
the government cannot take what has
a value to the settler, and that Inas
much as the land laws permit of the
settlement and Improvement of nn
surveyed lands, some right must ac
crue to the settler and which cannot
be confiscated without compensation.
Government's Contention. t
The government contended In this
suit, which is a test case Involving a
number of settlers on the shores of
Lakes Kachess and Keechelus, the
sources of the Yakima river, and In
which it Is sought to oust Hanson
from his claim, that the reclamation
act gives the government power to
withdraw from public entry the lands
required for irrigation purposes and
to do so In the case of lands unsur
veyed but upon which settlement hRS
been made without any compensation
to the settler.
Mr. Snlvely contended that Inas
much as the homestead law gives the
right to go upon unsurveyed lands and
a preferential right to make entry on
such land when surveyed, the provis
ion Is In the nature of a contract by
which. In consideration of time and
labor expended by the settler, tho
government gives him the preference !
and that It is not the Intention of the
reclamation act to confiscate his In
terest. The lands In question were settled
many years ago by Hanson and the
others Involved. ' A survey has been
made within comparatively recent
date, but it has not been filed In the
general land office, and it Is alleged
that It was not so filed at the Instance
of the reclamation service In order to
prevent the settlers from exercising
their right of entry under the home
stead law. The lands will be flooded
by the damming of the outlets of the
lakes. (
In the course of his opinion Judge
Whitson says:
Judge WhltMon's Views.
'In addition to the usual averments
It Is alleged that these lands have
heretofore been withdrawn from entry
or settlement of any kind. The only
date mentioned In the complaint Is
October, 1905, from which It may be
concluded that any withdrawal appli
cable to the subject matter of the ac
tion was made on or about that time.
"The answer sets up that possession
Is soufiht for carrying out the Intent
of the reclamation act. and that the
defendant, prior to April, 1891, while
the lands were unsurveyed, settled up
on the land In question ns a home
stead; that he has ever since resided
and occupied the same and claims the
same under the laws granting home
stead to actual settlers upon the pub
lic domain.
"The statement of what Is proposed.
If the allegations of the answer are
true, at once challenges attention and
Invites the most careful scrutiny. j
Absolute ConflHcatlon.
"If the plaintiff should prevail the .
defendant's Improvements would be
taken without compensation: his hopes I
of ultimately acquiring title would be
destroyed and he would be compelled
to bid farewell to a home which he
has occupied for 17 years, relinquish
ing the land over which ho has exer
cised domain by virtue of a statute of
the United States, and In full compll- ,
ance with Its provisions, while stand- j
Ing Impotently by to see It devoted to
other uses,
"Considering that the court Is asked
to become an instrument of Injustice,
It Is to be observed that it will only do
so In obedience to rules of statutory
construction demanding an Interpre
tation of existing statutes favorable
to such an end, for surely the. pro

ceeding has neither necessity nor
merit for Its Justification.
Government's ovver.
"That congress has power by ap
propriate legislation to withdraw or
authorize the withdrawal of public
lands which have been offered for sale
may be conceded. That the claims of
settlers in good faith who have enter
ed thereon pursuant to existing laws
may be disregarded, and that, Iff the
absence of any saving clause, they are
remediless, cannot be denied.
"That the government, as a land
ed proprietor, has the same rights
and remedies as private Individuals
for the protection of Its property. In
cluding the right to recover posses
sion, was long ago settled
but the power vested In' congress to
dispose of the public lands carries
with It the power to withdraw privil
eges extended, and until such rights
as have been granted are withdrawn
by the only authority which may con
fer them, they still exist."
Possession Is Lawful'.
After dealing with the argument of
counsel for the government that the
defendant was a "squatter" and" with
out rights and showing that this Is
not the case, the Judge continues:
"The defendant therefore Is not a
squatter. His possession was lawful
at the time he Initiated It. This Is an
Important consideration, for. If he Is a
trespasser pure and simple, he has no
defense. The policy concerning the
disposal of the public lands has al
ways been to encourage settlement.
'Those who have reclaimed the
wilderness, who have extended the
frontier, have been deemed worthy of
the utmost consideration, and, In con
structing the law. If it has been put
to severe tension, or Its letter violated
by the Interior department. It has been
In protection of the settler In good
faith."
