Land Commissioner Richards
Annual Report.
Iu bis furthcoming annual report,
Laud Commissioner Richards will pre
sent a forceful argument in favor of
the radcal modification of tho timber
ad stous act. Ho builds his argu
ment upon the showing of rapidly in
creasing timber entries iu late years.
Out of 1U, 74 1, 10 acres of public
lauds entered during thu past year,
1,760,222 wore covered by timber en
tries, or more than thruo times the
area of timber entries iu tho preced
ing year. This growth is thu bo tter
appreciated when it is kuowu that iu
the 25 year the timber and stone acts
bavubcen operative less than 7,000,000
acres all tuld, liavo bueu entered un
der its provisions.
Oommissiuuer Richards objects to
the timber and stouo act because it
allows eutryiuco, largely simulators,
to acquire for 12. to au acre land
that are oasily worth f 100, so ho says.
"Whououu observes the character
of claims that are being Hied,, " said
Commissioner Richards, "little urgu
moot is u (loili'd to convince him that
these lands are being taken tip fur the
benefit of syndicates and coriHiratioiis
and not thu Individual claimants. For
example, a carload of people will
leavo Micliigitn, cross the continent

By far theroosthumiliatinpincident
connected with the downfall of t. C.
Andrews, vice ; resident of the lity
savings hank t i utinm. n.r umr
ner of his nrrei t. aay ti ' lci.tro i.per.
One of the many oftnes Veld Ly An
drews was that of police ei i " i sinner.
He was a stern din iplini u em! had
little pity for members I' e force
who violated the rules. si 1 1 fore
exposure of bis I1.J00 ee'i rml.tile-
nient was made Andrews bint occasion
to rebuke one hi me city iiciccmes
for some alleged neglect of duly, and
he berated the oflicer roundly, giwnj
him what is known in police ciscles as
severe "dressing down." Hy chance
it became the duty of this same detect
ive a few days later to take the bank
wrecker into custody. Policemen who
knew of the terrible scoring the offi
cer had received from Andrews looked
for a bitter retaliation in the way of
wordy recrimination, but nothing of
the kind occurred. The officer was po
lite and deferential in making the ar
rest, almost as much so as if he were
taking orders r.om his mperior in
stead of conveyiig him to jail. "I'm
really sorry to f. this, Mr. Andrews,"
he said, "but It's jny duty." There was
a sting in these simple words, how
ver, that the bystanders did not ap
preciate, for in the scoring the detect
ive had received from Andrews while
police commissioner great stress was
laid upon the necessity of a policeman
doing his duty without fear or favor.
CONFISCATION IN MOROCCO.
When an Offlelal Dies Hie Property
ml That of nil llrlatlvea H
rte to the Crown.
It is a custom in Morocco that all the
property of an official revert at death
to the crown. The logic which leads
to such a result la simple, for the gov
ernment argues that all fortunes thus
accumulated consist of moneys illegal
ly retained by the authorities, says
Itlackwood's Maga.ine. A governor
when appointed is probably possessed
of no considerable fortune. When he
dies he may be a millionaire. Whence
came this wealth? Squeezed most cer
tainly from the tribes under his au
thority, nnd therefore aninssed only by
the prcr gativea of the position in
w-hhdi the sultan had placed him. It
has nuver struck the Moorish govern
ment thnt these great fortunea might
more honorably be returned to the
people from whom they were stolen.
The result is entire confiscation tothe
c:ov.n, including often such private
property as his governor may have
In en po5Feshed of before his appoint
ment, and not seldom, too, of the prop
erty of his relatives.
When the mighty fall in Morocco the
crash brings down with them their
families, even uncles and cousins and
all connected with them, and it is not
Mddoni that the sona of great govern
ors, who have been brought up in the
luxuries ef slaves and horses and ret
inues of mounted men, have to go beg
ging in the streets.

COST OF WIRELESS MESSAGES.
Mar No Mors Than Ten Cent to It
MCMUd Half War Arouad
the World.
It ts rather needlea to say that Mar
coni's splendid demonstration of
trans-oceanic signaling means, in tl e
near future, a big reduction in ennle
tolls. Mnreoni himself says that cent
a word U within hight. I'.ut even tliirt
la a purely arbitrary figure. In Eng
land, where the public telegraph is not
run to enrirh rich people, it is popaiblw
to send a 12-word tr.essnge ::nywheie
in the kingdom for sixpence. There is
no good reason why. with healthy com
petition, a 20-word nie!s,. from New
York to London, Paris or Manila
should not be sent and delivered for a
dime; or. for that matt er. :i nywhere in
the United States, says Cur! Snyder in
the monthly tteview of IN'mcwk.
The first cont it. small A wiieb'ss
telegraph station is more cot'ii licnted
than an ordinary Morse station, and
costs more. Ibtt. needing neither
cables, wires, insulators, m-r poles the
stations nre practically the whole of
the expense Such an installation nt
those of the Marconi company on
board the ocean ships probally costs
between $200 and $3nn, at retail. The
largest expense is a good induct: n
coil, which, for a 12-inch spark, costs
between $150 and $200; the rert of the
apparatus, any clever mechanic, once
he has seen it ami read the descrip
tions, of which the scientific journals
teem, can rig tip for himself.
And the field is free. The Hhower
of patents has been large; Sig Mar
coni alone has taken out 112. Hut they
relate chiefly to minor Improvements
and special devices, which, while
doubtless often of individual value, are
not a block, to others to try their hand.
If, for example, Hrof. Hranly had pat
ented his discovery, ami had applied
it to the reception of signals himself,
instead of leaving that to Prof Lodge
and others, then we might hare, had an
other Hell telephone monopoly. As it
is. wireless telegraphy has hern made
possible by men who do not take out
patents, and whose work is not done
for money.
