L Calvert against James It. Wood, coming from the I,awton (Okl.) land district and Involving entry No. 1, the act lng secretary of the Interior has rendered a decision refusing to order a hearing on thu case. Tho charges upon which the contest was founded wero substantially that Woods' entry was mado In violation of tho home etcad law by reason of Its location on the south line of the town of Law ton and that the entry embraces a tract a mllo long and only a quarter of a mile wldo nnd was so taken for speculative purposes and not for agricutural purposes and that tho entry was made at a tltno when thcro were n largo number of townslto settlers on tho land who occupied It for trado and business pur Psch. Tho decision holds that the selection and entry of land adjacent to tho town of Iuw ton was not In violation of the letter or spirit of tho law, and that tho fuel that there may havo been alleged townslto settlers on tho lands at tho time he mado his entry docs not affect Wood's right of entry. The laud was not subject to appro priation for townsltc purpose nor was any person authorized to enter upon It or occupy It for tho purposes ot trade or business nnd no such occupancy could operate to defeat his right to enter. It Is further held In tho opinion thnt Wood's entry is not bad on account of tho !orm of tho tract embraced, that tho special provisions of tho net of May 2, 1800, do not control In this matter, but that tho general provisions of tho homestead law do. The secretary says that under tho net of Juno t 1900, making provision for tho disposition of theso i.inds, It Is directed that they shall be disposed of under tho general provisions of tho homestead nnd townslto laws of the United States and that under this law Wood's location Is valid.

WILL INCREASE GRAIN RATE Twin Cltlca and Chicago Linen Mnke Couceaslon to the Protesting Mlnncnpoll Miller. ST. PAUL, Minn., Aug. SI. Representa tives of the Twin Cltles-Chlcago lines met here today to take action on the request of tho Minneapolis millers for relict from the present rate discrimination against flour In behalf of wheat. Tho railroads agreed to Increase tho grain rate, Minneapolis to Chicago, from 6 cents to 7VJ cents.

They claim that by a recent ruling of the Interstate commerce commission they are permitted to hold grain rates 2 cents lower than flour rates. Tho 7',4-cent rate will apply to all lake ports. From the Twin Cities to the bead ot tho lakes the rate will be 4Vs cents. FOR A FRATERNAL BUILDING Niitloniil Comrrrn Iteeommcnil All Socletlca to Cont rlliute for a ShimliiK nt St. I.oula.
