Tbe testimony sub m it ted abowa tlia1 tbe entry man, Horning, built a cabin on tbe land et a coat of about &0.000, and made settlement tbereon, on Auguet 20th, and remained there for 2 nighti only, and wee not beck there until tbe time of hearing. In January. That If It had not been for tbe large growth of Timber ebe would not hare attempted to make Entry ot aald land: that there wan about 3,000,000 feet of Tim bar on the tract she applied for, that the altitude la about 6600 to 0000 feet ; In tbe Local Office the Register finds that tbe Homestead claimant baa not realded 'continuously upon aald land: nor baa she maintained her residence tbereon to tbe exclusion of a home alee where; and that she did not make her application In good faith i tbat the land is more valuable for Its Timber than for Argioultural bnrDoses. and recommends that the homestead Application be rejected. Tbe Receiver finds that the Home stead Claimant aettled on the land in good faith ; tbat tbe land would be good for agricultural purposes if tbe Timber were removed ; tbat tbe land la suitable for grazing purposes, and recommends that tbe Timber and Stone Entry be cancelled. Votb parties Appealed to tbe Com missioner, and tbe Commissioner Doeldee aa follows, towlt : It appears that tbe land Involved was open to settlement but not to En -try until September 3rd, 1900 tbe date oo which Miss Clopton made ber Tim ber and Btone Application, wblob was 3 days prior to tbe date on which Miss Horning made ber Homestead Appli cation. But it Is admitted that Miss Horsing completed ber bouse on tbe land and made settlement August 20tb, 1900, therefore when Miss Clopton made ber application for tbe land it bad been appropriated by another par ty and under which circa instances it cannot be held tbat Mlae Horning had abandoned ber settlement right ; tbe mere fact tbat tbe land U more valu able for Timber than for agricultural purposes becomes Immaterial in view of tbe fact disclosed in this caee. Only unoccuplod and unappropriated lands can be taken under tbe Timber and Btone Act and it is admitted tbat Mihs Horning bad a cabin 12 by 14 feet on tbe land and waa living on it, if not tbe very day that the Tim ber and Btone Application was filed, at leant within a few days of it Tbe Receiver's Decision is therefore Affirmed. Fred Dennett, Acting Comm'eBioner of O. L. O. From tbe foregoing Commiaeioneis Oeclslou Miss Clopton appealed to the Becretar) of the Interior, and tbe fol lowing Is bis Decision : Tbe Department has before it tbe Appeal of Kstbarlne A. Clopton from your decision of August 2nd, 1900, wherein you affirmed that of the Re ceiver and reveieed tbut of the Reg ister and rejected the Timber and Btone Application of Clopton, so far as the BHtne is in conflict with the Homeetoud Application of A. Odalite Horning. Tbe record has been carefully oou aldered and is found to show tbat Horning aettled on tbe land in con troversy prior to tbe date of Clopton 's Application and bad not abandoned tbe same. Your said decision is accordingly affirmed, Frank Pierce, Acting Secretary of tbe Interior. Good resolutions. Tbe best renolu tion la to make some money tbe com Ing year.

The comedydrama, "A Craiy Idea," presented by local talent at the opera bouse last Friday night for tbe benefit and under the supervision of the Pobllo Reading Room and Llbraty, netted tbe Association a bandaome little sum, tbe gross re ceipts being I1C0. Tbe play was well presented, each one of the various players taking tbelr part In an excellent maimer. The publlo was well pleased, and the common exnreealon was tbat it wss one of the Ixist plays ever produced in the towu, and that Its presentation equaled tbe lieat of traveling compan ies, who make It their profession. Tbe Library Association never does anything by halves, and tbe name of the Association at tbe bead of any affair has become synonymous witb success. Tbe drama was no exception At tbe rise of tbe curtain tbe players were greeted with a packed bouse and looked out upon a sea of smiling, good nstured faces wblcb gave them renewed enthusiasm, and tbe play went on without a break, as was evi denced by tbe rounds and roonds ot applanea. No better evidence of tbe thorough satisfaction of tbe aadi ence could be given, than the repeat ed requests to tbe committee for a repetition of the drama. Tbe opening scene with Mr. Tbos. Powell, aa "Mr. Btone," In a Jealous rage, waa splendid, bis Interpretation of tbe sarcastic, jealous old man with a young and beautiful wife, was fine. When be summoned tbe servants to "Bee wbo la master here," a dainty little maid appeared ; a typical French maid, coy, and pretty, waa represent ed by Mrs. Biaber. Mr. Ouy M. Ingram , as tbe medi cal . student wbo "rented out tbe rooms, " waa true to life. His stage presence was easy, and bis hearty laugh was genuine, and contageous. Mr. Boott Leavitt as "Dan the col ed gern'man" was great. He kept tbe audleuce in roars of laughter when ever he appeared. His Invitation to tbe offloers to "Call again, when you wants more easy money, " brought down the bouse. "Buttons" the tdlppeiy "gent waa well presented by Walter Dutton His comical awagger waa exceedingly ludicrous. Jim Partln aa "Mr. Puders" bad a very difficult part to sustain, and was a complete aurprlse to bis friends. He both looked and acted tbe part of a nervous broken down musician, and In bis long and dlffluclt . speech ex plaining to Tom tbe reason for bis condition, he did a fine piece of act log.

Mrs. lelta Handler, as Mr. Stones' wife, did rery nicely, and when Mr. Btone said to ber "I will always be Joalons, because you are beautiful, " the audience quite agreed with him. j Mrs. W. It Itoyd, aa "Era" was as sweet as a new blown rose. She played her part as a lorable daughter in a rery pretty manner. Fred Reynolds as Nlel lirownlng, 1 Era's suitor looked tbe lover to per fection, which showed tbat it was no ' new game to Fred. Jim Judge, as Mr. Hicks tbe rnral gentleman, with bis nasal twang was rery good. Mrs. Waleon was a mother-in-law of the "funny paper" order. She went after "buttons" In fine motber-ln-law style, and ber "Come on Jullous", when she thought blm in questionable company, was rery laugh proroking. The Davis family from "Kokomo," was represented by W. Lair Thompson, as John Davis, Genie Snelllng, aa Catharine bla wife, and Augusta their daughter, by Mrs C. O. Metzker. Miss Snelllng waa floe. Aa Catha rine, aba portrayed tbe jealous watch ful wife perfectly. Her appearance and acting was so true to life, that one felt great sympathy for poor John, wbo was looking for "fields green and pastures new" W. Lair Thompson as John Davis, waa a whole show in himself. H la ap-, pearance on the stage waa a signal for laughter. Mr. Thompson Is no ama ture; tbat was plain to be seen. We doubt if tbe part of John Davis was ever portrayed so well, and we know never better than last Friday night When "Handsome John" appeared alone on tbe stage aa tbe curtain rose on tbe last act, tbe boose broke into loud applause, simultaneously. t Augusta Mrs. C. O. Metzker, wore a number of pretty gewns. wblcb re qnlred quick changes, and has received a number of complements in regard to ber part. Dut we roust not close without men tioning Mrs. Snelllng aa Anna, Lil lian 'a maid ber performance waa excellent. LAKEVIEW MERCANTILE CO.
