EEYISION OP THE LAND LAWS.
An Important Bill Agreed Upon by the
House Committee on Public Lands.
The sub-committee of the house
committee on Public lands, which
has been considering the various
propositions to chauge the land
laws last Thursday reported to
the full committee & bill "to secure
to actual settlers the public lands
adapted to agriculture, to protect
the forests on the public domain,
and for other purposes." It is in
effect a repeal of most of the exist
ing land laws. Its provisions, in
brief, are as follews:
All public lands are to be classi
fied as agricultural, timber, miner
al, desert, or reserved. No timber
land is to be sold, but the timber
growing upon it may be disposed
of to the highest bidder, in forty
acre lots, the timber to be removed
within six years from the date of
sale. Mineral entries may be
made of the same land, even after
the sale of timber, but cannot im
pair the right of the purchaser of
the timber. The president may
set apart any forest lauds as public
reservations, on which the trees and
undergrowth shall be protected
from waste or injury, and he may
employ the military for this pur
pose. Lands valuable chiefly for
stone and unfit for cultivation and
destitute of timber may be disposed
of under existing laws. The des
ert land law is continued in effect
with an amendment requiring en
trymen to file maps exhibiting the
mode of contemplated irrigation
and the souree of water supply.
Association is permitted in the case
of persons desiring to co-operate
in the construction of irrigating
canals or ditches.
No land is to be patented to any
person under the desert land laws
unless he has expended in its irri
gation and cultivation and in per
manent improvements at least S3
per acre, or at the rate of 1 per
acre for three years. In the event
of failure to meet this requirement
the lands shall revert to the United
States and the entry shall be can
celled. Final entries shall be made and
patents issued before the expiration
of three years upon the presenta
tion of proof of reclamation to the
aggregate extent of S3 p-r arre.
provided that proof be furtln-- re
quired of the culiivation .f n:
eighth of the land, but no suiu
desert land entry is to exceed 320
acres, nor shall any payment he re
quired therefer: and entries are
further confined to bona fide citi
zens and residents of the state or
territory in which the desert land
is situated.
The existing laws relating to
town sites, swamp lands, and other
grants made by congress to states
and territories are continued in
force. The homestead law is
amended so as to allow heads of
families, citizens of legal age, or
persons who have filed declara
tions of intention to become such,
to enter a quarter section oe so
of public lands; but no person
who is the proprietor of ICO acres
of land, or who quits and abandons
his residence on his own laud to
reside on the public lands in the
same state or territory, shall ac
quire any right under the home
stead law. me transier ot any
portion of a land entry for church,
cemetery or scnool purposes, or
right of way for railroads or irriga
ting canals shall not impair the
right to perfect the title. Persons
who have not had the benefit of
the pre-emption law, and have
failed for any cause except by sale
or disposal of their rights to per
fect title to tracts entered bv them
may make a second homestead en
try m lieu thereof.
All laws allowing pre-emption
of public lands, aud the act en
titled "An act to amend the act to
encourage the growth of timber
on the western prairies," and all
other laws in conflict with the pro
visions of the present bill are re
pealed, but all bona fide claims in
itiated before its passage may be
perfected. All laws relating to
bounty land warrants, college, and
other land scrip remain in force.
The last section of the bill makes
it unlawful to cut or wantonly de
stroy any timber on the public
lands, or to wilfully set fire to the
timber or underbrush and leave
the fire burning, exposing the
trees to destruction, or to remove
any timber from the public lands.
Transportation companies and ves
sel owners are forbidden to trans
port such timber. Provision is
made, however, that the section
shall not operate to prevent any
miner or farmer from clearin- his
land In working, or from taking
the timber necessary to support
his improvements.
During the Czar's visit to Cop
enhagen a German conjurer was
giving an exhibition of his skill be
fore a royal party at Fedensborg
when the Czar took up the pack of
cards with which the prestidigita
teur had been operating and said:
"I will show you another trick, but
I doubt whether you will be able to
add it to your repertoire." The
Czar then tore the pack of fifty
two cards in two without apparent
ly the slightest effort. The show
man produced another pack and
tried to imitate his example but in
vain. Only those possessing wrists
of steel can in this case follow
suit. It is no trick, but the exer
cise of almost superhuman strength.
A few minutes later the Czar called
for a silver dollar and bent it dou
ble between the thumb and fore
finger of his right hand.
