I DUMMY ENTKYMEN MAY BE EMPLOYED Corporations' Right to Make Agreement to Acquire Title Upheld by Court. Events Occurring Throughout the State During the Past Week. San Francisco.—That the offer of a corporation to purchase land from prospective entrymen aa soon as the latter have complied with provisions necessary to obtain from the govern ment title to such lands ia legal, is the gist of a ruling made by W. B. Gilbert, judge in the United States circuit court of appeals. The case decided was that of the government against the Barber Lum ber company and others for alleged conspiracy to defraud Uie government of large tracts ot timber lands in Ida ho by the use ot “dummy entrymen.” Judge Gilbert said: "The decision of the present case is ruled by legal principles announced in the Budd case and in the Clark case. Those decisions are authority fur the proposition that a person or corporation desiring to acquire title to a large body of timber lands of the United States under the timber and stone act may express that desire by another, and may enter into an agree ment with him to buy lands upon his obtaining title thereto, and may lend him the money with which to acquire title.” The case grew out of the filing of applications by 210 entrymen on Boise Basin.

Cottage Grove.—With some 50,000 feet of standing timber already de stroyed and trees for a mile distant having suffered damage, a close watch has been set for some mysterious ani mal or pest which has been working havoc on property of the Storey-Bra- cher Lumber Company, near here. The lumber destroying pest, which seems to work st night, starts about half way up the trunk and works Its way upward to the branches, digging off the bark and sucking the sap. Nothing but fir trees are attacked. No one seems to have any definite idea as to what manner of animal Is doing the work, although the gener al belief appears to be that it must be some form of the squirrel family.
