In August this fountain exhibits what, to atrangers is a most amasing phenomenon, spouting myriads of little fishes about a large a white bait, with bodies a transparent a crystal.

These are called tiiirt, and come from the mountain streama with wtiich the fountain is fed. In the month of August they start for the sea and are caught by the pipe that feed the fountain. The people expecting them, come down with baskets, scoop lUssa up and taking them horn, fry them la '-MM- a a th in is a oil, when they make most delicious morsels.

Hair in hi application make oath that on th land in question there ar two Cottonwood tree and four Cottonwood sprouts two inches in diams- ter.

Tne entry wsa. there! ore.

not allowed. The Secretary says: "No arbitrary rule can be established for tb government of every e. It should be the desir of tbe depart ment to saoertaia what th intent and purpose of Congress was in Lbs passage of the act Clearly it was to encourage th artificial growth of timber in a prairie country. it i within th experience of all mankind bring in prairie region that in ravines a lew scat taxing tree ar to found there on, and it would not aeem that Con' gross intended to exclude every tract of thai kind from the timber culture act It atanda to reason that it was not the purpose to deprive tbe occupants of the vast prairies of the West of th beneflt of th act if ther happened to be a am ft la tree upon the sectioa. I take it that the words "prairie laud or land devoid of timoer wituin tbe spirit of the act mean land practically so.

To giv ths act the construction placed upon it by the last decision Just citad. according to their legitimate deduc tions ana reir ooneiaeioa, woaia prevent eutry of any prairie land that had timber of any character upon it. standing, failing or otherwise.

As th testimony in this eas is conflicting as to th amount of umber on Hair claim, a fiirtner examination 1 ordered. XaBLXK BlSrtTCSES.
