NEW RULES ARE NOW EFFECTIVE REGULATIONS CONCERNING ISO LATED TRACTS OF PUBLIC LANDS ARE AMENDED Must be Open to Entry Separate Forty-Acre Units Cannot Be Grouped in One Application—Pro vide for Appraisal of Land—Must Be Subject to Homestead Entry for at Least Two Years. Regulations governing the sale o£ isolated tracts have been amended in several important particulars by red Dennett, commissioner of the general land office. Copies of the new regula tions, which went into effect Janu ary 19, have been received here. One important amendment is that providing that 40-acre tracts not ad jacent, cannot be included in an ap plication. Heretofore such tracts have been grouped together to com prise not more than 100 acres in one application. Another important amendment is that declaring no tract will be deemed isolated unless it has been subject to homestead entry for at least two years after the suround ing lands have been entered. The land will not be sold for less than its appraised value and in no in stances for less than $2.50 an acre within the limits of the railroad land grants and $1.25 outside of those lim its. Paragraphs 0, 7, 8, 9 and 10 of the old regulations were amended to read as follows: Paragraphs Amended. "0. Only one tract may bo includ en in an application for sale, and no tract exceeding approximately 100 acres in area will be ordered into the market. ''7. No tract of land will be deemed isolated and ordere ainto the market unless, at the time application is filed, the said tract l as been subject to homestead entry for at least two years after the surrounding lands have been entered, filed upon, or sold by the government, except in cases where some extraordinary reason is advanced sufficient, in the opinion of the commisioner of the general land office, to warrant waiving this restric tion. "8. The local officers will on re ceipt of applications note same upon the tract books of their office, and if the applications are not properly ex cuted, or not corroborated, they will reject the same subject to the right of appeal Applications found to be pro perly executed and corroborated will be disposed of the land applied for is not subject to disposition under the provisions of paragraph 7, or by rea son of some prior appropriation of the land, the application will be for warded to the general land office with the monthly returns, accompanied by a report as to the status of the land applied for the surrounding lands, and any other objection to the offer ing known to the local officers. Upon determining what portion, if any, of the lands applied for should be or dered into the market, the commis sioner of the general land office will call upon the local officers and the chief o ffield division for the report, as next provided for, concerning the value of the land.

Walla Walla, Washington Appraise the Land. "(2) If all of the land applied for is vacant and not withdrawn or oth erwise reserved from such disposition, and the status of tne surrounding land is such that a sale might proper ly be oraered under paragraph 7, the local officers, after noting the appli cation on their records, will promptly forward the same to the chief of field division for reports as to the value of the land and any objection he may wish to interpose to the sale, and the register w.il make proper notations on his schedule of serial numbers in the event the application is not returned in time to be forwarded with the re turns for the month in which it is filed. Upon receipt of the application from the cheif of field division with his report thereon, the local officers will attach their report as to the status of the land and that surround ing, the value of the land applied for, if they have any knowledge concern ing the same, and any objection to the sale known to them, and forward the papers to the general land office with the returns for the current month. "9. An application for sale under these instructions will not segregate the land from entry or other disposal, for such land may be entered at any time prior to the receipt in the local land office of the letter authorizing the sale and its notation of record. Should all of the land applied for tie entered or filed upon while the appli cation for sale is in the hands of the chief of field division, the local offi cers will so advise him and request the return of tlie application for for warding to the general land office. Likewise, should any or all of the land be entered or filed upon while the application for sale is pending before tbe general land office, the lo cal oficers will so report by special letter. "10. Upon receipt of letter author izing tiie sale, the local officers will note thereon the time when it was received and at once examine the rec ords to see whether the tract, or any part tlierof, lias been entered. They will note on the tract book, opposite such portion of the tract as is found j to be clear, that sale lias been found to be clear, that sale lias been author ized, giving the date of the letter. Thereupon tbe land will be considered segreagted for the purpose of sale. ——-——o-- COAL MAP OF THE UNITED STATES A special and valuable feature of the report on the production of coal in 1910, issued by the United States Geo logical Survey, is a series of maps showing the known coal fields of the United States. These maps are printed on a scale of aboue 40 miles to the inch, and if pieced together would make a map the size of a large 0-foot wall map issued by the Survey. The various classes of coal areas are indi cated by a variety of colors. The coal fields are shown to have a wide range, both as to character of coal—there be ing have a dozen grades from anthra cite to lignite—and as to present knowledge concerning the deposits, ranging all the way from the results of detailed surveys on which an almost xact estimate of tonnage can be based 1.0 the very general information that the area is underlain with coal-bear ing rocks which prabably contain coal that may or may not be found at min able depth. All this information is portrayed on the maps by colors or symbols. The maps show the county sub divisions in several States and are therefore the most exact coal maps yet issued. Geologic work by the Survey in tbe coal fields is in constant progress, however, especially in the public-land States, so that even these maps are admitted to be imperfect in the light of new information continu ally acquired. The Geological Survey has previously published at different times maps showing the coal areas of the United States and it is probable that during the coming year the Sur vey will issue a still further revised edition of these maps. AFFECTS EVERY RECLAMA TION PROJECT IN WEST Montrose, Colo., Feb. 24.—Judge Shac kleford of the United States Court made permanent today an injunc'ion against the United States Governnx nt to prevent officers of the Reclamation Service from constructing a large canal through a quarter section of home stead land which has been proved up by John A. Masters. Though patents for land isued by tbe government since 1900 contain a clause that has a bearing upon a reser ration by the Government to rights of way, Judge Shackleford held that the reservation clause was too defi nite to be of any purpose and the only way the government could construct a ditch through the land was by due process of law. The canal is the une mpleted por tion of the Uneompaghre Valley pro ject. The question effects every re clamation project in the West. j «*♦*♦***♦**♦ v+*** ♦ ACCUSED OF KILLING EIGHT BABIE8 (Record Special) New, York, Feb.24.—Winfred Ankers was held without ball in a Brooklyn court on a charge of causing the death of eight babies at the Brooklyn Nurs ery and Infants' hospital, where she was employed, by placing oxalic acid in thier milk, will be given a formal examin ation Monday. ♦ ♦♦♦4 , *4"M'****4'**4 A GREAT DISCOVERY Certain Ingredients That Really Pro mote Hair Growth When Proper ly Combined. Resorcin is one of the most effective germ destroyers ever discovered by science, and in connection with Beta Napthol, which is both germicidal and antiseptic, a combination is formed which destroyeds the germs which rob the hair of its natural ourishmeut, and also creates a clean, healthy condition of the scalp, which prevents the devel opment of the new germs. l'loearpinl although not a coloring matter or dye, is a well-known ingr dient for restoring the hair to its nat ural color, when the loss of hair has been caused by a disease of the scalp. These ingredients in proped com bination, with alchol added as. a stim lant and for ils well-defined nourish ing properties, perfect perhaps the most effective remedy that is known for scalp and hair troubles. We have a remedy which is chiefly composed of these ingredients, in com bination with other cxtremly inval uable medical agents. We guarantee it to postively cure dandruff and to grow hair, < ven though the scalp in spots is bare of hair. If there is any vitality left in the rots, it will posi tively cure baldness, or we will refund your money. If the scalp has a glaz ed, shiny appearance, it's an indica tion that baldness is permanent, but in other instances we believe baldness is curable. We want every one troubled with scalp disease or loss of hair to try Rexall "9:5" Hair Tonic. If it does not cure dandruff and grow hair to (lie satisfaction of the user, we will without question or quibble return every cent paid us for it. We print this guarantee on every bottle'; It. has effected a positive cure in 93 per ei nt. of eases where put to practical test. Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is entirely unlike, and we think, in every par ticular, better than anything else we know of for the purpose for which it is prescribed. We urge you to try this preparation at our entire risk. Cer tainly we know of no better guaran tee to give you.
