LANE ISSUES LAND SUMMARY
Secretary of Interior Issues Inter
esting Report on Work of
the Department
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. Secretarj
Iane has Just issued a summary of
he work of the department in the
classification of the public lauds dur
ing the last month of 1913. He says
that during this period the total with
drawals amounted to somewhat less
than 50,000 acres and the total res
torations 'to more than l,C:;0,0O0 a-
eres, the result being a net decrease
1 outstanding withdrawals in the
public-land states of nearly 1,000,000
acres.
The states mot affel by the de
partmental action are Montana, with
in which 120,000 acres heretofore in
cludtd in phosphmrte lands were re-
rtored to entry; North Dakota, whose!
coal withdrawals were reduced by
over 646.0OO acres; Washington and
Wyoming, with a reduction of nearly
500,000 and 400,000 acres, respective
ly. In coal withdrawals. The princi
pal areas reserved during the .month
were in California and Wyoming. In
the first -named state public-water re
serves aggregating 36.000 arret were
created, while 1m Wyoming some -
what wore than 12,000 acres were
ic.ia.wn for the same purpose.
The ibt effect of this action has
been to reduce the entire area with
drawn in the public-land sK.rU.es from
somewhat less than 67,900,000 acres
at the beginning of the moirth to a I
little less than 6C.270.0OO acres at the
in end of the month. This area wtth-
drawn is to be compared with approJ
InuUely XS.OOO.OOO acres that have
thus far been classified under the
various mineral-land laws.
During the month of December
somewhat less than 2.000,000 acres
were classafied as nonlrrlgable. and
by order of the secretary were oien-
ed to entry under the enlarged home
stead act. This makes a total ot
about 207,375,000 acres of land that
have been class! tied as nonlrrigable
in the ad mintet ration of this act.
The total classifications of lands
in western states at the end of the
month amounted to nearly 295.700.000
acres.

Fines In1 Police Court witn
Promise of Worse
The coloMd nun ho were Impli
cated in the shoot'.ng and gambling
affair Sunday night, except the ie
who did the shooting and the two
who were shot, were tried hi Judge
Zurns court Tuesday fonnoon.
Jortue Thomas plead guUty to th
i harre of disorderly conduct and dis
turbing the peace. He was fined
ten dollars and trimmings, amount
ing In all to fifteen buoks, ami given
his choice of paying or working it
out for the city. Ho preferred work
lug for somebody else, aocordjiily
Horace Dogue furnished the neces-s-ry
cash to secure his release.
Ki. May, ditto.
.lnm.es Norwood, the same, except
that ho put up the money himself ti
square the matter wUh the court.
County Attorney Burton fiave the
iiipii a timely talk, informing them
tl'at as this wa-s the first time that
they had been up on the charges for
which they had been fined, the
court was lenient with them but
thn the next time they were found
guilty of gambling or carrying con
cealed weapons they would have
o go over the road.
II Peat's case was dtamiKsed, it
having been found upon invesgtla
tlon that he was not guilty of gam
bling. "Sonny" Smith admitted before
the bar of Justice that he was gtill
ty of gambling and running a gam
bling house, but a he seemed to be
in a penitent frame of mind he was
iLHHossed only twenyt-five. dofllars and
cists, which he paid. It will prob
ably go harder with "Sonny", If he
should be so indiscreet as to repeat
the offense, which he promises not
to do.
Geo. Dean was arraigned on com
plaint signed by the oity marshal!,
of being drunk and delivering whis
key to prisoners, lie. asked for a
lawyer and as one could not be se
cured for his defense at that time
the case was continued until after-
niton, the prisoner being held under
$200 (bonds. After leaving the court
room he decided that he would
plead guilty, but upon being return
ed to the court room for that pur
pone he again changed his mind and
declined to do so. After thinking tt
over till afternoon!, he concluded
that the easlet way out was to
'fess up and take his fine of ten
plus the costs.

The following is from the Stand-

The high cost of living still
prevails. Last Saturday while
walking up Che street we noticed
some cabbage in a confectionery
wtndow and going in we selected
one about as big as an orange and
paid a quarter for H. Now cab
bage tastes beat when boiled
with meat, so we sauntered over
to the butcher shop and select
ed a piece of fat beef about the
size of a walnut. The butcher
threw it on the scales, wrapped
it up in a small piece of paper
and said it was worth fifty cents.
We paid him, stuck the package
in our vest pocket and carried the
precious articles home. When we
were called to dinner the next
day both articles had been cooked
and placed tn a tea cup that a
domod the center ot the table.
My, how nice they smelled and
how we longed for a taste of
them.
