O'CONNOR CABINET MAKERS ARE j NOW WORKING OVERTIME I Cabinet makers are busy conjur ing with names of those who will shared with Wilson in shaping the policy of the next administration, ac cording to a Washington dispatch. Necessarily, this Is purely gossip, but the cabinet builders are none the less active in pointing out the per sons and the elements available as cabinet material. One of the available elements em braces those who were conspicuous party figures at the Baltimore conven tion, including Speaker Clark. Chair man (Jndorwood, of the? ways and means committee; William Jennings Bryan, Gov. Foss, of .Massachusetts; Gov. Harmon, of Ohio, and others. It is generally assumed, however, that Speaker Clark and Chairman Un derwood would prefer to continue their work In congress, especially now that the legislative program on the tariff and other questions is likely to meet with fewer obstacles. As to .Mr. Brown, one of the Demo cratic senators was quoted during the Democratic convention as definitely assigning Mr. Bryan to a cabinet place in case of Wilson's election, though the latter stated that no con sUlt-ration had boon given to the per sonnel of the cabinet. Noao the less, speculation Is active as to whether the NobruBknn will have a portfolio. Another element from which cab inet material is being suggested em braces those who hnve been promi nently idontlfled with the Wilson campaign, notably Chairman Mc Combs, of the Democratic national committee; Representatives Burleson and Henry, of Texas; Representatives Pnlmor, of Pennsylvania; Assistant Chairman McAdoo and others who bore the brunt of the conflict at Bal timore and during the campaign. Still another uvailnblo element Is made up of prominent party figures In the various states who were not conspicuously Identified with the re cent national committee, while an other includes some of the veterans of the last Democratic administra tion. I Out side of these UBiial elements from which cabinets can be construct ed, many foresee the entry of a con siderable new clement in public af fairs, made up of men like Mr. Wil son, who havo been Identified with collegiate educational and economic questions. INTERESTING LAND CASE FROM KODIAK A most interesting land case is: now before the department for final | adjudication. The question at issue is whether the law becomes retronc-: tive under certain circumstances and the point to be determined involves title to certainlnnds at Kodlak. The Alaska Commercial Company took possession of the lauds in ques tion in 1SS5 and while still in poss ession during the year 1009 filed sol diers additional homestead script on the land and made application for; patent. While this application was pend-; ing an order was issued by the De partment of Agriculture for the con- i struction of an experimental station in Alaska. Under this order Prof. C.eorgeson went out and surveyed a, tract of land for this purpose, includ ing' In the survey the land in contro versy. Prof. Gcorgeson took poss ession of the land and established the station. The Alaska Commercial Company filed a protest at the time and the matter came on for a hearing before Fred Dennett, the Commissioner of! the General Land Office. Dennett; rendered a decision In favor of the government and an appeal was ta ken to the Secretary of the Interior. First Assistant Secreary of the In terior Pierce affirmed the findings of Commissioner Dennett. A petition was then filed asking for a re-hear ing on the cause. In June the case was again heard by First Assistant Secretary of the Interior Samuel Adams. Adams reversed the decision of both Dennett and Pierce, holding that under the act of May 17. 1884 (provldihg that Indians and other persons In possession of lands of the public domain on that date should not be disturbed in that possession); and that if the Alaska Commercial Company had held possession since prior to May 17. 18S4. they had a vested right and were entitled to patent under the application. In mak ing this decision Adams set Novem ber 18, (yesterday) as the date of hearing. It is interesting to note that Sec- < retary Adams based his decision up- J on the cases cited by Z. R. Cheney in < his brief namely: "Young vs. Gold- ? stein," "Sutter vs. Hcckman," and ] "Goddard and Brooks' application for patent for Sitka Hot Springs." The government produced its evi dence before the United States court commissioner at Kodiak (mention of which was made in the Empire) on October IS last. Yesterday upon the application of the Alaska Commercial Company be fore the local land office the hear ing was postponed to January 18, for the purpose of summoning witnesses from Kodiak. A rather disconcerting feature in the case is that a new element en tered Into the controversy last June, a higher court even than the United States supreme court stepped in aB intervenor and decreed that both par ties at suit should be dispossesed of the land in qucsion. On June G old Katmal vomited forth about two feet of ashes over the tract, killing off all of the nice green stuff of Prof. Georgeson and compelling him to move his nice Gal loway cattle to other parts, and at the same time rendered the place prac tically of no value to the Alaska Commercial Company. The only real interest at stake is the point of law involved. CASEY JUNIOR IS GOING OUTSIDE. \V. W. Casey, Jr.. who Is employed during his college vacations at the Treadwell cyanide plant was in Ju neau over Sunday. It Is .Mr. Casey's intention to re turn to the University of Idaho next month where he is entered at the law school of that institution.
