Off On a Six-Months’ Cruise. San Francisco, Cal., April 10, 1003. Dear Mother:— I received your letter today and was glad to hear from you and to know you are all well. I have grown three fourths of an inch id height since coming here, and weigh 147 pounds, stripped. I am 5 foot, 8.| inches in my bare feet, so you can see navy beans nlust be healthy. I left the old Pensacola a weok ago Saturday, and am now aboard tbo U. S. S. Adams, and will leave for Mexico, Tuesday, on a six months’ cruise. Last Sunday wo went up to Maro Island. We came down yesterday and are now lying in San Pedro bay; from here we leave on our cruise. The Adams is a nice Bhip, and what makes it more comfortable the officers are not oppressive. I am on orderly duty now—have four hours duty aud eight hours rest, but the eight hours will hardly make one think he has rested at all. I have a beat of about 20 feet long that I have to walk on, and at the end of four hours I feel pretty tired. Leon Chenoweth is on this ship and is getting along fine. Outsido of our work hours we have time to study a great deal. We bavo a fine library on board. It contains books of all kinds, from scientific beoks down to the story books such as all boys like to read, but I put in most of my time on the former. I guess Coleman reads as much as ever. ' I was much surprised* and also very sorry to hear of Clyde Miller’s death. * * * * * Give my regards to all my friends. From your son, J xsse W. A rmstrong . New Ruling o f General Land Office in Regard to Work Required. Uolena Record. One of the most important ruliDgs received at the federal land office for some time came to baud today in a decision received by Receiver Frank D. Miracle and Register George O. Fieemau relating to making final proof on desert land. The case in it self is not of such importance, but it establishes the great precedent that any person desiring to make Gnal proof on desert land must show that one-eighth is actually cultivated. It has been the custom, especially iu northern and other parts of Montana, for a ranchman in makiug final proof to show that there has boon “a marked increase in growth of the grass” and there is no evidence of extensive cultivation by irrigation ns provided by law. Up to this time the government has adopted that as sufficient, but has now taken a decided stand in the matter, according to the decision re ceived from Acting Commissioner J. H. Fimple. It affects the entry o f Horace Mc- Intire, of Red Rock, for 1G0 acres, made-May 17,1898, the papers upon proof being forwarded May 17 of last year. In his decision Actirg Commissioner Fimple says: “In relation to the matter of the cultivation of one-eighth of tl& area embraced in his entry, claimant states, in his final proof, that there has been a marked increase in growth of the grasa on all the claim, it being the result of irrigation; and that it is used for pasture. “The mere increase in the growth of natural grass covering one-eighth of the area is not deemed a sufficient showing as to cultivation, when the soil is such that plowing und stirring the same would not be detrimental thereto. “You will advise the claimant and any other known party in intorest, that unless one-eighth cultivation, as above indicated, is shown in sixty days, the entry and the final certifi cate, which is hereby held for can cellation, will be cancelled without further notice from this office.” Irrigation’Advocated. Supt. F. C. Cumpbell of the Fort Shaw Indian Training School, iu his report to the ’ superintendent of Indian schools, strongly advocates irrigation as.ouo of the studies to bo prescribed and ^practiced at the school. We clip ti>e following from tbo Red Mau and [Helper, published at Carlisle, Pa.: Supt. F. C. Campboll, of the Ft. Shaw, Montana, school, believos “ that in the training of children of this section agriculture by means of irrigation, stockruisiug, and eyory- thing pertaining thereto should bo given first importance. The govern □lent and individual Indians on tho various reservations from which this school draws hnvo boeu giving this matter much attention. It will bo tho object of the school to supple ment this work iu overy way possible iu order that whou these pupils will have roturnod to their reservations they will be ablo to take up the work uuderstaudingly. With au udequato irrigation system, this school cau produce its own meat, flout aud vog- otablos, bosidos placing urticles of this nature upon the tnurkot, thereby helping largely in the support of the school. Tho ontiro reserve'ion, prop erly irrigated, will accommodate about 2,500 head of cattle and horses, sufficient to carry on the work of institution of this size.” To Tin istigate Indian Allotments. au FO R SALE..
