Important Opinisas by the (*ennuis- Choteati munty. I received your letter of the 10th instant, which presents the following questions, viz: First •--Where settlement is made on unsurveyed land prior to August :X), 1890, on which no filing can be made until after survey, is the land so settled upon considerm•d to be a part of the 320 acres to which settlers are now restricted, or does the settler still have the right to 320 acres ad- ditional? Second—Where such settler located intending to pre-empt after survey, can he still use the pre-emption rights; if so, can he also use the tim- ber culture rights? Third Must the $3 per acre re- quired to be spout on desert land claims be expended for ditching and water only, or will the cost of other improvements, such as building feuces, cultivating, etc., count? Must the entryman pay out the amount. actually in money, or can he value his own time and his team's time eon - mimed in work at the usual wages of the country and apply the same? In reply I have to answer your questions in their proper order as fol- lows, viz: First Under the pre-emption laws repealed by act of March 3, 1891, and under the homestead laws the right might be initiated by settlement and take effect front the date of settle- ment, if the subsequent requirements of the law were complied with in good faith. Where settlement was made on unsurveyed land prior to August 30, 1890, the right was then initiated by such settlement, and would not be affected by the provisions in the act of that date, restricting the acquire- ment of title under the laud laws to 320 acres in the aggregate, but the claimant would be entitled to enter, tette(' after survey, notwithstanding th• repeal of the pre-emption laws by the fourth sect iou or the act of March I:1, 1891, tinder the provisions therein contained, \that all bonalide claims end distribution be required to give the notice, and make the application meetioned in your circular?

I had almost forgotten to mention the fact that the breath as well as the passage of the repealing act, could not be permitted on that aceount, to perfect title thereto under the timber culture laws after the repeal thereof. Third The desert land law, as amended by the second section of the act of March 3, 1891, provides that before the patent issues for any entry under that law, the entryman, or his assignee, shall have expended at least $3 per acre in the necessary irriga- tion, reclamation and cultivation thereof, by means of main canals, branch ditches and permanent im- provements upon the lands and in the purchase of water rights for the irrigation of the same. I ant not aware of any decision having been rendered by the depart- ment in actual cases in which the points you present on this subject were passed upon. I am of the opinion, however, that the law intends that the expenditure shall be for main canals and branch ditches and I permanent improvements, contribut- ing in seine way to the irrigation and reclamation of the land, and for the purchase of water rights for the same end, and not for improvements gener- ally, or raising of crops after reclama- tion which is the chief purpose of the statute. I am of the opinion, also, that the law contemplates an actual expendi- ture of the amount per acre specified, and think that if the work of the entrymen, or his team, is employed the proper valuation of such work may be considered in computing the expenditures made under the statu- tory requirements. REGARDING TOMER CUTTING. Commissioner Carter in a letter, which is herewith published front the New Northwest, effectually settles a point in which many people of this country are interested: if otherwise qualified, to the inaxi-1 mum extent of 320 acres independent of the tract of unsurveyed land so settled upon prior to the passage of the act of August 30, 1890, imposing the restriction.

In the winter follow- , ing say, this wood is hauled down and sold to the citizens of the town for fuel. In this way the citizens are pj.ipallysissimplied with fuel. Query; la your circular inteeded to cover such a case? That is will a man cut- ting wood in this way for local sale who had bought a drink. The salt in the liquor elude him sick. No one, not even myself, could tell what caused it, but after a while I guessed the reason and tested it by trying it on others. It worked like a charm, and thereafter whenever a young boy came in who was just taking his first drinks, and learning what he thought 'manliness,' I always set out the salt bowl and made him sick. I know of a good many young that I saved from ruin in this way. I guess I was the only prohibition barkeeper in town, and certainly the only one who ever taught temperance front behind the bar by making men sweeten their drinks with salt instead of sugar. 1li , 410 From the Vermont inns. A citizen who spent the Fourth at Brattleboro, Vt., encountered the country swain and his rosy sweet- heart right from the green Vermont hills. He was treating her to ban- anas, the first she had ever seen, and she ate rind and all. \That's pretty good fruit,\ she observed, \but it seems to be pretty much all pith.\ Later on they brought up at a soda fountain, where Corydon was heard to ask his Phyllis: \What Wad of scent will yott have?\ ses inSweden you can geta competent servant girl fun S1-1 a year. counter for oysters, and a similar bowl of sugar for whisky.

It was Dr. J. Ronson's experiments for the cure of phthisis that led to the discovery of time process. He used eucalyptus for his hypodermie injectiens, and the fact that the skin and breath of his patients became impregnated with its disagreeble odor caused him to try perfume as a remedy.
