far as they go they confirm the order o f

There is a thorough conviction on the-
part ol the officials of the interior de­
partment that many, if not most,
of
the entries under the timber act which
weie made in the Pacific Coast states
during the year 1902 were made in Hie
interest of syndicates, and the protest»
received since the issuance of the order
strengthen this conviction. Since then
not a single entry under the law in the-
atatea covered by tne order has been
allowed to go to patent without a thor­
ough investigation.
There are many special agents in that
field, and the new law permitting the-
compulsory attendance of witnesses in
connection with land entry investiga­
tions is expected to prove of great as­
sistance to them in establishing the
validity or lack of validity of such en­
tries.
In one state alone last year there was
an increase in the entries amounting to
about 140,000 seres in the coarse of
three months.

They surrounded Colonel

Somalia, after a heavy rifle fire, charged

The British

The British force fought until a ll of

Tbe

Butte, Mont., April 28.— Indications
now point to a fight to a finish between
tbe Western Union telegraph company
and the striking messengers.
Tbe
striking messengers have, in a mea ure,

now is over the recognition of the

Union officials announce will not be
recognized or treated with unde^ any

It is stated that the
Western Union is willing to grant the
scale of wages asked by the boys, or
to employ them on a commission basis.
