LOOTING THE PUBLIC DOMAIN
Mhod Emplsjed to De'raud tht United
SUlei Oat of PnVlio Land.
SAMPLE TRICKS Of LAND GRABBERS
njat4re Reuniting front the Arqalai
tlnn of I, arse Tract of l.antl
by Cattle and Lumbar
Companies.
The Ingenuity ami audacity of the men
who have been end still are engaged In
defrauding the United States out of public
land are equalled only by the absolute
consclencelessness of thin clan of swind
ler. Every possible device la resorted to
by th men who have sought to acquire
Illegal title to the public domain, and even
the startling examples of a United States
senator sentenced to a penitentiary term
and numerous "land kings" struggling In
the tolls of the law have not apparently
served to diminish the attempts to perpe
trate similar frauds.
An Instance of this character which lias
Just come to light was found In Idaho. ' A
single contractor had erected on the order
of a land company thirty-four cabins on
as many homestead entries "one hundred
and sixties" they are called in the land
office had furnished them with the usual
meagre furniture of the genuine cabin, had
actually built fires In the little sheet iron
stoves, in order that the cabins might p
pear to have been occupied and had hung
from the rafters of each a fragment of a
flitch of bacon. On each "one hundred and
sixty" about a quarter of an acre had been
actually tilled and planted to potatoes
The entries were made In the name of
thirty-four Individuals, the work done by
the contractor was performed the following
summer, and when the legal fourteen
months had expired the alleged settlers
appeared before , a. United States commls
sloner, each made affidavit that he had
lived on and cultivated his claim for four
teen months, paid down the nominal price
of 11. 25 an acre prescribed by law, where
the commutation clause of the homestead
act Is availed o, and "final proof having
thus been made title waa granted, subject
to final ratification by the land office in
Washington.
A Narrow Shave.
It was Just here that something aroused
i inn suspicion 01 ine special agent cnargea
$ - with passing on the claims, and he began an
Investigation, which revealed the fact that
no one of the claimants had ever resided
on the land, that the cabins and the culti
vation had all been performed by a single
contractor, acting under orders from a large
land company, and that each of the ficti
tious settlers was under contract to sell his
homestead, as soon as the title was per
fected, to the land company for a nominal
sum. Had the scheme worked In this In
stance, as it doubtless has in numerous
others, the land company would have ac-
nulred a tract of 6.440 acres at a cost of a
little less than 19,000, and this tract would
have been worth at the least calculation
$56,000, would probably have yielded double
or treble that sum in timber, and then the
denuded land would have been left In the
hands of the land company, to be sold as
opportunity offered for graxlng purposes.
Another fertile source of fraud Is the pro
vision of the land law which entitles sol
diers or soldiers' widows to deduct from the
five years necessary to a free homestead
entry the term of army service of such
soldier. For Instance, a land or cattle com
pany desiring to secure title to a large tract
will scour the country tor indigent wid
ows of old soldiers. When a sufficient
company has been gathered together each
will be "located" on a homestead .entry.
These women are generally Ignorant of the
y character of the transaction In which they
are asked to participate. They are only
Informed that they can secure their living
.and from $60 to $75 in cash by living for
six months each year in a little cabin
which will be furnished them without ex
pense. If a soldier has served throughout
the war, four years, his widow can "prove
up" after on year's residence on the claim,
and this "year" la apocryphal, forln prac
tice, it is reduced to six months, generally
the summer season When the time comes
to "prove up" the widow is escorted to the
local land office, or the United States court,
and there told to swear to certain papers,
which she does without inquiring as to
their contents. As soon as her title is ap
proved in Washington she deeds the land
to the company which employed fcer, re
ceives her bonus and disappears.
A Womti1! Trick.
In Oregon an instance was recently dis
covered, almost under the nose of the court
which was trying Senator Mitchell for com
plicity in land fraud. A young woman
mad entry on 160 acres, and put up a cabin
six months after she made her entry, and
lived in the cabin perhaps a week. Six
months later she filed an affidavit that she
was too HI to go o.i the land that summer.
in
and
the
nd continued to file such affidavits, until
suspicions of the land office were
aroused. Investigation revealed the fact
that she was not In any sense a bona tide
settler; that she had never cultivated the
land, and doubtless never Intended to,
In the same neighborhood a case was
found where a man living in the village had
mads a homestead entry. He erected a cabin
and was cultivating on his claim a scan
acre of potatoes. Meanwhile he had been
rutting the timber with which the claim
was covered. When detected by the agent
charged with Investigating such cases lie
had cut timber worth $1,000 and had con
traded for its sale. He had also sought to
ell the relinquishment of his claim to some,
one else who would become a real settler,
Had be been successful he would have ac
quired $1,000 worth of timber, for which he
had given no return whatever, and would
have deprived the claim of Just that much
value to the settler who followed him, but
who would have bought his relinquishment
because It represented three years of the
five necessary to perfect a title without
rash payment.
In South Dakota a few months ago a
company sent to St. Paul and Minneapolis
and gathered up on the streets of truss
cities twenty-six men who were glad of an
opportunity to perjure themselves for $50
apiece and six months' board and lodging.
Their claims, had the scheme avoided de
tection, would have been "proved up" at
the end of fourteen months under the com
mutation clause.
Detected la Time.
Still another Instance has recently come
to light, where a man and his wife, both
school teachers, have taken up a homestead
valuable for its timber. They havo erected
a little shack and spent their vacation on
the claim, cultivating It to the extent of a
small kitchen garden. The fraudulent
character of their "residence" wns detected
just In time to prevent their sequ.-ing title.
Ordinary claims ran be entered only
where the government has caused a survey
to be made, and the Department of tne In
terior has sought to preserve certain lorest
tracts by refusing to survey them, but even
In these cases have the purposes of rh
government been circumvented by the In
genuity of the swindlers. I' Oder the law a
plaoer claim can be entered, forty acies la
extent, even on land which baa not been
surveyed, and land thieve have resorted to
such claims In numerous Instances to
acquire possession of the valuable timber.
In some Instances a band of men will "lo
cate" as many as 600 acre under placer
c'aiiua, and tbey bsv even been known to
"alt ' the land ia order to deceive th
agent sent to Investigate the character of
t4elr mining operations. As soon .is their
claims are passed they denude them of the
timber, worth from $5 to $100 an acre, and
then move on to begin operations else
where under new names and under the
supervision of other Innd agents.
Tfie great difficulty which the General
I-and Office encounters In preventing these
frauds Is the looseness f the law and the
fact that the government has never classi
fied Its lamls, as do the railroads and all
other Institutions which do budtirss on
business principles.
A special effort is also being made to
compel settlers to appear on certain speci
fied days before special land sgents to
r n like their final proofs. If this can be
done the land office ran. In advance, send
Its agents quietly to Investigate the char
acter of "cultivation" performed by those
persons who seek to perfect their titles,
and, where everything does not look right,
to cross-examine the entrymen when they
make their affidavits. Under existing con
ditions the court officers who receive the
final proofs are all too often virtually the
attorneys of the entrymen or of the fraudu
lent companies who Hre seeking ultimate
possession of the land.
Hard on Real Settlers.
The Injustice resulting from the acquisi
tion of large tracts of land by rattle and
lumber companies is grave. One or two
thousand acres' or more fenced n:;d de
voted to graxlng or lumbering operations
renders the region almost untenable to
the genuine settler. He Is deprived of
neighbors, roads, school In a word, of all
those advantages which a community would
afford him. and all too often he sickens
of his Isolated position and Anally sells his
homestead to the company which has al
ready acquired a monopoly of his surround
ings. And all this is in addition to the
frustration of the purpose of the govern
ment In granting land to settlers on such
easy terms, the settlement of the area by
small home owners. The great landed com
panies which already monopolise so great
a portion of what were originally public
lands, not only constitute an Impassable
barrier to the advance of clvlllxatloh and
the development of the country, but they
have in many Instances become a menace
to law and order, ruling the country about
them with an iron hand, prostituting its
courts and destroying Its liberties In a
most high-handed manner, so that peace
able settlers gladly embrace the first op
portunity to escape from their baneful in
fluences. Once In a while the land office makes
mistakes in its first impressions of the
validity of claims. This was the case with
certain claims recently forwarded for final
approval by members of the Heros family
in the southwest. The father, since de
ceased, had perfected a homestead entry
and the land office was called upon to ap
prove the claims of two of his minor chil
dren. The case was immediately assumed
to be fraudulent and so reported In the
public prints, but further investigation
proved that assumption to be unwarranted.
It was found that under the law even a
minor could become the legal head of a
family by adopting a child. In this In
stance there was a large family and the
parents were extremely poor. The oldest
son had adopted a younger brother and,
as the head of a family, had taken up a
claim on his own account, while the old
est daughter had adopted a younger sister
and had taken up another. Final decision
in this instance has not been reached, but
everything points to the validity of the
claims and their ratification by the land
offioa.
The publication of such facts as are
herein set forth have caused radical de
mands for revision of the land laws, but
comparatively few of these demands have
been .tempered with wisdom or Justice. For
instance, it has been demanded that the
commutation clause of thv homestead act
be entirely repealed, whereas this would
work grave injustice to many people.
Fourteen months is, however, too short a
period, and this should be extended to
twenty or twenty-two, so that the genu
ineness of the efforts at "cultivation" may
be accurately gauged. The most important
reform needed is a classification of the
lands and authority conferred on the gov
ernment to reject any entry except such
as was suitable to the land In question.
Thus desert land claims could not be en
tered on timber landu, liomestsad entries
could not be enteied on lands best suited
to timber claims, etc Now York Tribune.
LEVIATHANS OF THE RAILS
Hag Locomotives for Switching
Pnrposes Weigh Over Two
Haadred Tana.
The heaviest switching locomotives In the
world have Just been placed In service on
the lines of the Lake Shore railroad. Two
are at Collinwood, O., one at Ashtabula,
and two at Elkhart, Ind. Without the
tender each one -of the five weighs 35,000
pounds more than the much-talked-about
locomotives Installed by the same road a
year or so ago. The total weight of each
of the new monsters, including the tender,
is 411.600 pounds or nearly 210 tons. The
capacity ot the tender is 8.0U0 gallons of
water.
When the Hessemer railroad inaugurated
its yard engines, weighing 394.400 pounds,
or 430.300 pounds without the tender, and
with a. tank capacity of 7,500 gallons, all
former records for sixe were decidedly
eclipsed. It was predicted for a time that
locomotives of such site would not be a
success. If ever by some inUhup they got
off the track It would be a mighty Job to
get thorn ou again. It was reasoned that
If such mammoth rolling stock ever came
into general use heavier rails would be re
quired and bridges would need to be
stiengthened. Since that lime, however,
nearly every road In the country has been
preparing for the mammoth locomotives of
the future by the laying of heavy rails,
replacing of old bridges and the like,
and the Introduction at this time by the
Lake Shore of a locomotive larger than the
giants of the Bessemer is but another step
In modern Industrial development. The
locomotives built by the Brooks works of
the American Locomotive company and
Just Insulted by the Lake Shore are 28.5I0
pounds heavier than those ot the "Besse
mer. The engine without the tender is
19,710 pounds huavler. The tank capacity
Is 6u0 gallons greater.-
The new engines are known as the I-ake
Shore "hump" locomotives. This name
comes from the fact that locomi e of
their capacity are necessary in order to
handle the heavy trains of the hump yards
( at Collinwood and Elkhart. As lo the one
jn uge t Ashtabula. It is employed In
j pushing the heavy ore trains up the long
grade to Plymouth., Th ore trains sent
out of Ashtabula are the heaviest known
In the ore-carrying world. Since the ar
rival of the new locomotive It has been
found that it la up to all expectations and
will do far more than any other yard en
gine ever brought here. The tractive force
of this locomotive la 56.3U0 pounds, which
meais that it Is capable of exerting a
power of thut magnitude.
The new locomotive has five pairs of
drive wheels, each wheel fifty-two Inches
In diameter. The cylinders are 24x2$ inches
in diameter. The healing surface is 4.625
square feet. An Interesting feature of its

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Features of the Trading and Closing
Prices on Board of Trade.
CHICAGO, Nov. 11. Improved demand
from exporters caused a nrm rlnisii today
in wheat. Closing Quotations on the May
delivery showed a gain ot tfc. Corn is
up c. Oats are unchanged. Provisions
are up 2u10c.
The firmness In wheat developed toward
the middle of the session, Early In tne
day the market was quite weak. At the
opening, tne May option was a shade
ingner to a'o lower at 88(fj8Bc. For i
time there was further liauiuation bv be
lated longs. Commission nouses also -sold
freely, 'ine selling was induced by liberal
receipts at Minneapolis and Duluth and by
clear weather in the northwest. Lower
Prlees at Livernoal. however, hud some ef
fect. Tffe December delivery was espe
cially weak. For May the lowest point of
tne day was reached at 87c. After the
first hour otierlngs suddenly became scarce.
Many of the early sellers turned buyers
and shorts covered freely, causing a mod
erate upturn. The change in sentiment
was due to reports from various points
showing that foreign demand was becoming
quite active. New York reported fifteen
boatloads taken for 'export. An improved
demand for flour at Minneapolis waa an
additional incentive to buyers nf vhnni
here. On the advance the May option sold
up to lV(jaSc. The market closed Arm,
with May at 8840. Clearances Of wheat
ana nour were equal to 361,600 bu. Primary
receipts were 1.199.300 bu. Minneanolls Im.
luth and Chicago reported receipts of 1,05
cars, against 796 cars last week and 602
cars a year ago.
Early In the session sentiment in the
corn pit was bearish, but later a firm tone
aeveiopea ana the market closed at prac
tically the highest point of the dav. in
creased local receipts and clear weather
were ins weakening influences at the start.
During the last half of the day the market
received support from bull leaders. The
close was firm May opened 'o to VG
Ho lower at 46if,45c, sold between 45c
and 46o and closed at 46545c. Local
receipts were 353 cars, with six of contract
graue.
The oats market was InRn.m'iiJ i,iAfiv
by the other grains. Earlv In the session
there was quite general selling, with longs
liquidating freely. Later the market be
came firmer as a result of liberal clearances
at the seaboard. May opened a shade to
c lower at 32o to 32ij32c, sold between
S2fcS2o and 82-&32c and closed at 32o.
Local receipts were 2R4 cars.
Provisions were quite Ann on moderate
demand and rather light offerings. A lie
advance In the price of live hogs waa a
bullish factor. At the close May pork was
up 10c at $12.77. Lard Was up So at $7.02.

CATTLE The run of cattle this morning
was small and Inconsequential and there
was practically no trading whatever.
As will be noted from the table above,
the receipts of cattle this week have been
somewhat smaller than for the previous
IX nfTKI, ILIIU US CUlllja I ITU villi llic '
ceipts for the same week last year they
are larger by about 8.000 head.
The week's trade opened at prices that
were Just about steady with the close of
last week. The run was only moderate
and during the week the more desirable
kinds of cattle have been rather scarce,
the larger portion of the stuff coming In
during the week being of the common and
medium classes.
All during the week there has been a de
cided shortage on the better grades of
rornfed and western cattle, while there has
been a fair demand fur thia kind uf cattle,
with the result that choice beef steers close
the week steady to a little lower, while
th common and medium kind of stock
closed the week slow and off lo'JOo from
last week's prices
Cows and heifers have been In fairly
good supply all this week. This Is par
ticularly true of the last few days' run.
For the first three days of the week there
was an active demand for good cow stuff,
both on the part of packers and outside
people, with the result that prices ad
vanced a little over the previous week's
close. However, the succeeding days saw
a decline In this kind of stuff of from loft
15o. The market on cows and heifers for
the week eloKed slow and li-4fl5c off. ex
cept on the choice stuff, which remained .
almost steady.
The run of feeders this week has not
bee,, up to expectation, snd ther. have
been but a comtisratlvely few choice feed-

kind nf stuff opened strong and all during
the week there has been quite a number
of country buver In, but most of them
were looking for the heavier si.uff and were
unwilling to take light and common kind
of cattle, with the result that the common I

prices ranging from $4 ) to $4 85. with the
loppy loads selling at $4 90. while the bulk
yesterday was $4.77'!4.Ko and the top $1

stuff. As has been stated the early inn-let
opened brisk and active and ruled so at hs
prices quoted during the early part of l.e
forenoon, but later eased off considerable.

Th receipt of hogs for the week were
about ?s,(iio head. This is smaller than for
the two prexlous week snd also smaller
than the receipts for the same
week one J
ear ago bv a small number. The modcrato
run has served to a certain extent to pre
vent nmrh of a decline, but still the pri.-es
on hogs at the close of the week Is alxut
7He lower than at the close of last week s
business.

811 KEF There were only three cars of
sheep received this morning, and as there
were no sheep of any consequence lelt oyer
from the sales of yesterday the market this
morning was practically lare and there was
no trading at all to speak of. The supplies
of sheep thH week were very liberal, about
KM, OH) head being received, as against bo.OHO
head for last week. The run has been
Iirettv well divided this week as to killers
nnd feeders, but the demand for practically
all kinds of feeders has narrowed down so
that the outlet for feeding stulT of the num
ler that have been received here thin weeK
has been entirely too small. There have
been but a comparatively few buyers In
this week, and this fact has aided th
packers in forcing the prices down on all
fat stuff. Late this week the market has
been In pretty bad shape, the most of the
stock received being of the common sort,
which has found a rather slow le.
The run of fat sheep during the week has
been a very fair one, but for the most part
consisted of the common run of stoi-k.
e buyers were In a bearish frame c.t
1 and were wanting the better class of
r. with the result that the market was
.- im uiw.i-lnlW true of ths
has
while
stuff, with the result that the market was
rather slow; this is especially true of the
latter part of the week. Good, fat lambs
have sold at prices that were Just about
steadv with last week s close, while ewes,
wethers and yearlings are loy-uc lower
than last week. .
There has been a fairly good run or feed
ers this week, but, as the oise with the fat
stuff, the majority of the feeders consisted
of the common and light stuff, causing a
slow market. Light feeding lambs have
suffered a decline of 2,Vii4nc, while feeding
ewes have declined 2ur35c. There have
been but few yearlings and wethers offered
this week and theae have sold mostly 6'uloc
lower. - .
