tfWMltlon to Laid Law Repeal.
. The strong and dehrmincd opposi
tion developed at the recent National
Iirigatlon Congress at Ugdon, Utah,
to the proposed repeal of some of our
abused land laws indicates that it there
Is to be any changing or amending of
these laws it will bo done only through
a thorough nnderstanding of their
inlqni ous features and an awakening
of tho puople to a rinli.stion of the
iact that undor them immense quanti
ties of valuable (Joveriuont property
aro passing into the hands of private
corporations nnd speculators for a
mere tithe of their value to tho nation.
A resolution was introduced at tho
Congreas by Gooro II. Maxwell, the
executive chairman of The National
Irrigation Association tho same reso
lution which was passed by tho last
trans-Mississippi congress, quoting tho
president's wouls in denunciation ot
theso laws and calling upon tho United
titatus congress for thoir rupual. Con
gressmen from both Wyoming and
Idaho vigoiously opposed such action
and in a speech to tho irrigation oon
gross representative Maudell of Wyom
ing strenuously defended all of the
laud laws, epecially tho dcseit laud
law, which ho stated had been of groat,
bent 111 to Wyoming On the other
hand congressmen of California and
Montana denounced all tliniu laws as
having been the cauao of enormous
areas of public laud passing fraudu
lently into privato ownership and
Senator Gibson ot Montana and Mr.
M ixwell both quoted land ofilou figures
to show that unless somothing is done
to prevent the absorption of theso
lands the groat bulk of tho remaining
deairablo and arable publio lands will,
in a very few yearshavo onliroly ells
appeared.
As a matter of fact a rooeut state,
moot of 'the commissioner of the
general land office shows that during
the fiscal yeai ending Junii 80, 1003,
an even twenty million noros pnwit
In i in tho bands of the goverment,
while tho report of tho pioeediug jenr
in practically tho sumo llgures
40,000,000 acres of public land, in
iitiiud numberi, passed in'o private
iM-fiir4lilp w tt hlii two years.
Itut Miou who are only partly t In
f "mid Hay, " V ll, what of ll? Tliem
i.hi still live hundred million ncroi loft
I i tliu in id mates and territories; forty
mil ion aeios is not such n great pro
ki linn of this vast area." The truth
i Mint thi! greater part of tho remain
i g publlu domain is composed of lire-
1 iMilniablo and non-urablo land moun
tains, rugged hilN, gulelios and gorges
whi h aro now and always will bo
'worthless for ngiictilluio; they ean
never bo tnedfor anything butgrnzlng.
The forty mi lion acres in question
worn not taken from such terrltoiy;
Ming, for tliem weio made upon itlm
I comparatively small remaining areas
lit plain and valley lands, capable of
litigation uudei;goveiiueul stongo of
ll toit waters and of sustaining a great,
population if t-ettlul upon in Mitull
trncls of eighty or one hundred and
sixty acres each an ample amount to
sustain a man and his family, provided
ho has a good water supply.
Under the desert land act, which is
supposed to contemplate the reclania
tiou of the laud, Immense areas of laud
throughout the western mates and terri
tories have been patented which are
now lying idle in tin- hands of spoon
lators and live-stock concerns; ns
(iovcrnor Morrison of Idaho stated,
this law has succeeded in "tying up'' a
great deal of Idaho's best laud.
Undor the commtiialiou clause of
the homestead act much tho same result
has obtained. A man is able to com
niulo ami get title to his lOOacres after
building a shack costing a few dollats
and residing upon his claim a fo v times
during a period of fourteen month!),
besides possibly making a few cheap
improvements in ease ho thinks it
is nesessary. The name "homestead"
is a misnoiuor, when tho commutation
elauso is applied to tho law.
Undor tho timber and stono act the
most notorious frauds are being daily
consummated. Id the great timber
regions of Washington and Oregon, by
far tho best limber region in the United
States, land is boing purchased from
the goverment by dummies and specu
lators at 13.50 an acre. "Sato the
Forests and Store the Floods" la a huge
Joke to the timber speculators.
Mow the proposition is to repeal
these three laws. It will be necessary
to have some additional legislation re-
garding tho sale of timber. A strong
point made by the opponents of the
repeal of thts'elaws is that such action
woulq out off the contributions to the
irrigation fund, which is derived from
thesalo of public lands. Under a
proper timber law the government in
coujo from limber sales would be far
greater than at present and in any
event the above is a preposterous
reaton to udvauee, because if these
laws are left intact, and the absorption
of tho public domain under them con
tinues as at present, there will soon be
no goveiment land left for reclamation
under the irrigation act.
The strength to insuro the repeal of
theso laws must como from the east.
Tho fight in tho iirigatlon congress, the
opposition which can bo expected in
cei tain sections of tho west, and in give a temporary venttothp pent-up wa
ordet to secure the nublio domain from I tcTs. Tho three witnessed an Incnm-
speculation and to keep it intact against
tho time when it shall be needed by the
settlor, eastern sentimont must become
aroused to the situation. Western op
position and eastern apathy are tho
stumbling blocks.
The western men who look for tho
truo development of their country
along homomaking lines ask the east
, ..it . i .i

There Is a l:ke of water In the crater
of Mount Hauler. Its diptlt anc extent

Ul-.covery of the lal.o was made by Prof.
Joan IJ. Holt, who has charge of the
botanical department ot the Taiomn
hli;h school, and two men, Arthur Glllis
pli and Frank Weymouth, whonri,'Hu
(icius of tin high Fchool, na a Tacoina
(Wiuli.) report. 'I ho three have made
tuo am-i-nt from the mat bldo by way of
the 'hl'erivr$Mrclr. The Recent was

H z that n If,-lit in an leu cave in Crater
peak.
The nscent was mado over long, vast
snowflelds, and up great reaches of gla
cier. Tiksk glaciers wt re bisected with
numerous crovas&es, which caused the
scalers to angle back and forth acrobs
the face of the mountain. Much time
was lost in this way, as the crevasses
could not Iip tcHi until the climbers were
nlmost upon them. It was after six
o'clock Saturday evening before they ar
rived nt the rim of 'Crater peak. A fu
rious wind, accompanied by driving
snow, simultaneously gathered over the
top of tho mountain, niul the thrco'began
to hunt for shelter.
Passing around (he rim of the crater,
steam was observed Issuing from a hole
about tho size of n man's body, and,
squeezing through the hole. Prof. Klett
found himself In a commodious envem,
the bottom of which was composed of
rocks nnd volcanic ash making up the
rim of the crater, while the roof con
sisted of the Ice formation cohering the
mouth of the crater. The boy? followed
into the chamber, nnd the three found
themselves warmly and cozlly housed
for the night, the dry steam coming up
from tho bowels of the mountain tem
pering the arctic atmosphere.
Tho chamber sloped away toward the
center of the crater, agreeable to the
contour of the crater rim. but the slope
was such that tho three could He down
on tho large stones without danger of
sliding Into the darkening cavern be
neath. Prof. Flett'B nlpenstock
dropped from his hand and rolled 75 feet
down tho throat of the cavern, and a rope
was tied around Weymouth, who ven
tured Into the darkness beneath and se
cured It As he descended he lighted
matches, carefully exploring his way,
and finding that the mountain beneath
is honeycombed with passages, which
emit quite Jets of steam, but probably
In the remote past vomiting forth red
hot lavo. The three then began to roll
stones down the Incline. Some of these
would clear all the partitions separating
the passages, against which a tew or
the stones lodged, and after sending back
a rumbling roar for a minute, as they re
bounded from side to side of the caverns,
they could be heard splashing Into the
lake beneath.
The lake hns Its source In the meltlrr
of tho tremendous quantities of srow
that fall within the crater, and which Is
perpetually acted upon in certain por
tions of the crater by the slnm .'rts ris
ing from the Interior. There Is r.o sur
face outlet for thle water over the rim
of tho crater, and If there werp the low
terperature s of the crest of t h" "''' '

Prof. Flett believes that the route from

would bo surprised." ho replied, "to
know that in this time of general pros

more Hour than eer before or since
Business Is thriving In many llneh, hut
the country Is too prosperous for the

Simply because the people hac money

.Vhcn the country Is hard uppiopleget

Should Russia aua Japan go to war
over Corea, another turn of fortune
might come to Lehigh J. Hunt, the
American who Is now confidential ad
viser to the king of Corca, says the New
York Sun.
He has already had more exceptional
experiences than fall to most emen.
After having thrice met with tlnanclal
disaster xind thrice cancclid rll obliga
tions against him. he is said to possess
now a fortune of ?15,OCO,COO, besides
holding the po?t alriady reterrcd to.
He was born at Columbia City, Ind.,
nnd for years taught In the public
schools of Iowa. He often wrote poetry
that was published In the sta'e paper3.
From Mt. Pleasant he went to Deal
Moines, where he was superintendent of
schools. Next he was electee, president
of the state agricultural college at Ames,
lbwa.
In the early '80s ho went to Seattle,
where he raised money by organizing a
stock company, and purchased the Dally
PoBt-lntelllgcucc, p3liig $18,000 for the
plant. It wa3 not long before it became
one of the strongest and most Intiuen
tial newspapers on the 1'aelflc coast.
It was the medium through which
Seattle made Its bcom, and the city was
greatly Indebted to Hunt for tho rapid
strides it made.
Hunt became Identified with many in
terests In nnd about Seattle. He was
president of one bank and director In
half a dozen tlnanclal Institutions. He
was interested In most of the railways
on the coast and an acknowledged po
litical leader.
A seat In the United States senate
was offered to him at one time. j
In the financial crash of 1893 he met
with losses and went from Seattle ow
Ing $1 ,200.000. Ho sent word to his cred
itors that he would return and pay every j
dollar with compound interest. I
He crossed the continent and went
to New York, where he fell iu with sumo
wealthy men who sent him to' China to
build a railroad.
Hero he was again In hard luck, for
after his arrival the Chinese rescinded
the concessinntthat had been granted to
tho American syndicate.
After a few months, in which m.
he learned much of value to himself
from tho Chinese, he went to Corea, and
In some way became acquainted with
tho king. He and the king grew to bo
close friends, With his remarkable
knowledge of finance, he was able to ne
gotloa,te a large loan from Russia to
tho'klng of Corea.
As a reward the king of Corea gave
him a large tract of land upon which
were mines containing gold and sti
ver. Then again fortune smiled upon
Hunt. He organized the Oriental Min
ing compiny and sold an interest to the
Rothschlld7. It is said, for $0,000,000.
He returned to Am' rica nnd called to-j California. Personally conducted ex
