ALSO FAYORS NAVAL PERSONNEL BILL SECOND MESSAGE REQUESTS IM MEDIATE CONSIDERATION OF MEASURE. Washington, Dec. 1{.—The president has sent a special message to con- gress on the subject of public land laws in which he urges the repeal of the timber and stone act; demands the radical amendment of the desert land act; urges the repeal of the com- mutation clause of the homestead act, all of which, he declares, now serve to turn great tracts of land over to spec- ulators and corporations. To prevent the fraudulent acquisi- tion of the public lands the president says he has directed the secretary of the interior to allow no patent to be issued to public lands under any law until, by an examination on the ground, actual compliance with that law has been found to exist. For this purpose an increase of special agents in the general land office is urgently required. The president believes that shere should be provision for leasing coal, oil and gas rights under proper restrictions. He urges the revision and re-enact- ment of the existing laws affecting rights of way and privileges on public lands and reservations in one compre- hensive act, providing that the regula- tions now in force in many cases may be extended to all. Consolidate Railroad Lands. Legislation is recommended in line with the proposal to allow railroads to consolidate their holdings of timber within forest reserves by exchange, after deeding their lands to the gov- ernment. The president recommends that the secretary of the treasury be author- ized to advance to the forest service, upon the security of the standing tim- ber, an amount, say $5.000,000, suffi- clent to provide a reasonable working capital for the national forests, to bear interest and to be repaid in annual in- stallments beginning in ten years. Transfer of the national parks from the charge of the secretary-of the in- terior to the secretary of agriculture 1s recommended. The power to create national for- ests by proclamation should be ex- tended to Indian lands, the Indians to be paid the full value of land thus taken. The president recommends legisla- tion which will provide for government control of the public range through the department of agriculture, to in- sure to each locality rules for grazing specially adapted to its needs and to authorize the collection of a reason- able grazing fee. He says he will see to it that illegal fences are removed unless congress takes steps to legalize proper fencing by government control of the range. MESSAGE ON NAVAL PERSONNEL. President Recommends Early Action on Pending Bill. ‘Washington, Dec. 17 —President Roosevelt has sent a special message to congress on naval personnel, in which he earnestly recommends early considerationr of the naval personnel bill, saying that, should it be enacted into law, it will cause officers on the seagoing list to reach the grade of capitain at forty-eight and rear ad- mirals at fifty-five and will assure thelr serving ‘seven years in the grade of captain and seven years in the grade of rear admiral, thus enabling them to - become --thoroughly skillful and efficlent In these grades. The bill also establishes the grade of vice ad- miral. On occasions of official impor- tance, of international council or of combined naval action the interests of this great nation demand that our na- val representatives shall rank as the equal of the naval representatives of other powers, The president says that, if the pro- posed plan of promotion is carried out, 1t will, as compared with existing laws, make a saving of more than $5,000,000 during the next seven years. The principal part of this saving is made by stopping the voluntary retire- ment of young lieutenant commanders with the rank and pay of commanders upon the retired list. The president is firmly of the opin- fon that unless the present condition of the higher commissioned personnel 1s rectified by judicious legislation the future of our navy will be gravely com- promised. KING ' OSCAR IMPROVING. Condition of Swedish Ruler Notice- ably Better. Stockholm, Sweden, Dec. 1C.—King Oscar -continues to improve, his gen- eral condition being noticeably better. His recovery, however, is expected to be slow. The following is the text of the bul: letin ssued by his majesty’s attend- ing physiclans: “The. king passed a good,. quist night.

SCHODLS AND FACTORIES CLOSED HEATING AND ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANTS COMPELLED TO GO OUT OF BUSINESS. Grand Forks, N. D.,, Dec. 17 —The fuel situation as it exists today pre- sents the most critical condition that has existed in the history of the state. Careful inquiry in every portion of the northern half of the state shows that there is not a town in which coal can be had except in small quantities and to supply immediate needs and in dozens of places there is not a pound to be bought, the dealers having been out of fuel for days and in some cases for a week or more. At Lakota dealers are out and in- dividuals are sharing with their neigh- bors. At Cando the flour mill has been closed for three weeks for lack of fuel and the light plant closed last Thursday and individuals are running short. At Granvllle the last coal was sold on Dec. 8. At Towner and Rugby the schools are closed, as in many smaller places. At Minot the central heating plant has closed down at intervals to save fuel. § g, 3 These illustrations could be multi- plied indefinitely and the same condi- tions prevail in the southern half of the state and in Northern Minnesota. One of the most serious features is the possibility of a snow blockade. There is now more snow on the ground than at any time since 1896. Thus far the state has escaped high winds and bad drifts, but a storm such as is usual at any time in the winter would pile up immense drifts and tie up the roads absolutely for many days and cripple them for the entire winter.

Our company has done and will continue to do all that it can to prevent suffer- ing. The company realized in June and July last that the fuel supply was likely to be inadequate and that the great increase in general business ‘would probably produce “a congestion in the autumn:. We therefore urged all provide a stock of coal early and to try to find new sources of supply. I think the reason given in your mes- sage, namely, extraordinary delays in moving, is incorrect so far as this company is concerned. The difficulty in Montana, Idaho and Washington is that not enough coal is being produced to supply promptly the increased do- mestic trade and at the same time fur- nish the railroad with fuel for the op- eration of its trains.
