LATEST NEWS OF
U. S. LAND OFFICE
Hundred of TlioiiKandu of Acre of
liMiid Are 1 Icing lU'stored to
F.ntry by Hec. IjAiia
The following paragraphs show
action taken by Secretary Lane dur
ing the past few weeks In designat
ing public lands under the enlarged
homestead act and In restoring with
drawn lands. Additional Informa
tion may be obtained by those Inter
ested from the United States Geolog
ical Survey or from the proper local
land office.
Enlarged llranetead DelgiuM Ions
Secretary Lane recently designat
ed under this act nearly 300,000 ac
res In California. This action was
requested by thirty-five residents of
the localities affected. The lands
designated are quite widely distrib
uted over the more arid portions of
the state.
A designation under the enlarged
homestead act, recently approved by
Secretary Lane, Increases the area
open under this law in Oregon by
284,000 acres. The lands affected
by this order are In large part locat
ed in the Deschutes and John Day
river basins, although there are scat
tered areas In other portions of the
state.
Ilentoratloii from Withdrawn.!
Secretary Lane has recommended
to the president the restoration of
129,601 acres of withdrawn land in
Montana. 47,063 acres of the land
Is in the ceded portion of the Crow
Indian reservation and was examin
ed last year by the Geological Sur
vey and has been classified as coal
land at prices ranging from 20 to
1118 per acre. The coal, which is of
the subbltumlnous variety, occurs In
numerous beds from 14 feet to 15
feet in thickness. The remainder,
which comprises over 82,500 acres
of noncoal lands in widely separated
parts of the state, has been examin
ed by the Field Service of the Gen
eral Land Office.
Secretary Lane has recommended
to the president the restoration of
over 43,000 acres In western Wyom
ing. These lands were withdrawn in
1906 because numerous reports of
coal and early geological mapping in
dicated that the coals mined at Kem
merer, Evanston, and other points in
the southwestern part of the state
might be present here. The Geolog
ical Survey baa examined some of
the region in a preliminary way, and
has found that a large part of the
withdrawn area contains no valua
ble deposits of coal. The restoration
of these lands reduces the area in
cluded in coal withdrawal In Wyom
ing to less than three million acres.
290,000 acres of lands in Glenrock
Big Muddy coal field In eastern Wy
oming have been restored to entry
by the president on the recommenda
tion of Secrary Lane. In pursu
ance of its announced policy of clas
sifying withdrawn areas as rapidly
as possible the Department through
the Geological Survey, examined this
area during the summer of 1913. As
result of this examination 30,000
acres have been determined to con
tain coal and are restored to enrty
nder the coal land laws at prices
fixed In accordance with the quality
and quantity of the coal present. The
surface of these lands may be acquir
ed under the agricultural land laws
with a reservation of the mineral
ngnts to tne. government. Tne re
maining lands Included in the order,
amounting to over a quarter of a
million acres, have been classified as
noncoal and are restored to general
entry without restriction.
50,000 acres of lands in Utah,
which heretofore have been included
in coal land withdrawals, have been
restored to entry by the president on
the recommendation of Secretary
Lane, following the classification of
these lands by the Geological Sur
vey. As a result of this classifica
tion, 15,000 acres have been determ
ined to contain no coal while about
33,500 acres have been determined
to contain valuable coal deposits.
These lands lie chiefly In the Book
Cliffs field, while a smaller area lies
farther south in the Colob field. The
noncoal lands may be obtained under
the nonmlneral land lawa without re
striction, while the areas that con
tain coal are purchasable under the
coal land laws or their surface may
be acquired under the agricultural
land laws.
The president, on the recommend
ation of Secretary Lane, has just ap
proved an order restoring to entry
over 250,000 acres of lands hereto
fore withdrawn in the Ekalaka coal
field of eastern Montana. This res
toratlon follows a classification of
these withdrawn lands by the U. S
Geological Survey. As a result of
this classification over 210,000 acres
were determined to contain no coal
and are, therefore, restored as non
coal lands, while slightly less than
43,000 acres are classified as coal
lands and are priced in accordance
with departmental regulations. The
noncoal lands are available for entry
under all of the nonmlneral land
laws while the coal lands may be
purchased at the classilied prices un
der the coal land law or entry may
be made under the homestead and
related laws with the reservation of
the mineral rights to the govern
ment. 53,000 acres of withdrawn land in
northwestern Idaho have been restor
ed to entry by the president, on the
recommendation of Secretary Lane.
The land was withdrawn in 1910, be
cause numerous reports from various
sources indicated that deposits of lig
nite might be found here on Clear
water river and Oroflno creek. Gov
ernment geologists who had made
examinations in this region In 1910
for other purposes reported incident
ally that there were indications of
the presence of lignite and many lat
er reports were received from other
sources that valuable deposits exist
ed. Last summer a member of the
Geological Survey visited the area
and found that the lignite here is of
little extent and of no commercial
value. The withdrawn land has been
classified as noncoal and the erasure
of the withdrawal by the president
restores the land to all forms of non
mlneral entry as before the withdrawal.
ADYENTUKKS IN THE
NEWSPAPER JAMK
A New Series of Article Written for
The Herald by the Ex-reporter
Number One
The Ilaby Scoop
At the age of sixteen, I had about
used up all the nine lives which all
cats and kids are said to possess, so
that after being laid up with a brok
en rib, for a couple of months, my
father decided if he wanted to have
any son left, the only way to keep
him would be to put him to work
during the summer vacation, where
he would be out of mischief.
Thus it was that on one bright
summer morning, I found myself lo
cated in the snug berth of cabin boy
aboard the 60 foot steam yacht,
"Sweet Marie", Howard, master.
That noon the captain's gig came
alongside with Captain Howard and
a stranger In it, who I learned later
was Bill Stearns, considered the
greatest marine reporter In the coun
try (of course I am faking all nam
M). He cruised around with us for two
weeks and during that time seemed
to take a groat liking to me, so that
when he left us at a little town upon
the Maine coast, he made me prom
ise to come and see him the next
time I was in the Big City.
About a month later while at an
chor at the Big City I heard a cou
ple of deck hands talking about the
races for an important honor that
were to take place the next day.
From what I overheard I learned
that the captain of the "Mermaid",
which was expected to win, had been
bought to lose the race to her com
petitor the "Merman", the odds be
ing six to one.
I immediately notified Bill Stearns
who wrote the story and looked up
the proof.
You can imagine the else of my
head when I got a letter of congrat
ulation from the editor of a well
known press association with a check
for 147.50 enclosed, as my share of
the profits.

O. W. was once a surveyor. John P. Hazard is a surveyor. J.
P. also sometimes tells the truth. In the pioneer days he
told the people that the southeast corner of Box Butte coun
ty was at a point locally known as "badger hole." In 1898,
some other surveyors and lawyers made the court believe
said corner was located in a "pocket" about three-fourths
of a mile away and it was ko ordered.
The government surveyors, after making a thorough examination
and re-tracing of the old lines, have re-located said corner
at the same old "badger hole" and say they have no doubt
about its being correct.
This is an advertisement and the point is, if you have
a surveying problem with a knot in it better send
for the old "ex" (and candidate for) county surveyor

Farmers in Gage county have

onstrator, followed by a discussion
on the part of the farmers. Such
meetings are being encouraged by
the Nebraska College of Agriculture,
