Juneau Dispatch: E. S. Dorman
and T. C>. Dorman, surveyors con
nected with the forest service di
vlsiou headquarters at Portland, Ore
gon, arrived In Juneau yesterday
and will spend their time surveying
honu-stead locations in the Ton
gas forest.
They will work with. Juneau as
their headquarters for some time,
later transfering their location to
Ketchikan. They have nine homae
st>ad locations to survey, and ex
pt-ft orders for more before they
fiulsh.
The homesteads to be surveyed
by t.hera are known officially as
'June 11 claims'' or homestead
claims which have beer, located un
der the act approved June 11, 1906.
When the act of congress setting
as'de the forest reserves it auto
matically made uill and void the
application of the homestead laws
as applying to lauds in the re
serves. The forest service has ac
knowledged the existnee of agricul
tural lands in 4he reserves and a
special act was parsed by congress
allowing the non-timber lands in the
reserves to be located for home
stwids and agricultural purposes.
The administration of the lands
iiudbr thi3 act is taken from the
general land office and 'is handled
l>y the forest officials, entirely. They
even make the final surveys of the
homestead claims free of charge to
th*> settlers, thereby saving him ap
proximately $300 on each claim.

INVESTING MONEY.
Don't Buy Securities Unless You Arc
Positive They Are Sound.
A good counselor of Wall street was
talking to we about Investments in
stocks, lie sahl:
"Tell people not to be lu a hurry ro
buy. The average Investor, as differ
entiated from the steady speculator,
doesn't put much money Into stocks,
and what he does invest Is apt to be
the accumulation of mouths or years.
He can very well afford to wait until
he finds out about the stock which in
terests him.
"The stock market Is with lis always.
Tell your friends to study It carefully
for a time before going Into it. Tell
them to put their money hi a savings
bank for six months and let it draw in
terest at 3 or 4 per cent while they
study the market actions of the stocks
they think of buying. Suppose in that
time prices do rise steadily and the
stocks prove to be sound—the increased
price in that case will be a sum 11 tax on
their ultimate profits."
It is good advice for all Investors of
small experience. An investment
ought to have u market price—whether
it be stocks, bonds, mortgages, com
mercial uotes, farms or city real estate.
The market price of a safe and sound
Investineut ought, on the whole, to rise;
when It sags the depression ought not
tt> be great, and it ought to lie due to
perfectly logical and easily understand
able causes.
Beware of the seller who tries to
hurry you Into buying by saying that
the market price of what he has to sell
is going up. In- most Instances you'll
find that he's wrong, and If it does go
up consistently and logically over a pe
riod of mouths you may reasonably ex
' pect that after you buy it Its rise will
continue.
Don't be hi a hurry. You can easily
■ lose iu an hour what has required
years to accumulate. Look, listen, In
vestigate! The financial history of In
vestments open to the average buyer
can be learned—usually the bank In
which you have your money deposited
can put you In the way of learning It
For every cent spent In finding out be
fore buying the investor will get back a
dollar In safety and better returns.—
John M. Oslclson In Chicago News.
FIRST RECORDED ECLIPSE.
Chinese Astronomers Were Punished
For Not Predicting It.
Messrs. Illrayiima aud Ogura have
published in the proceedings of the
Tokyo MaLhematlco-pbyslcul society
the results of their attempts to fix the
dates of sorno early eclipses recorded
In Chinese literature.
The earliest is mentioned in one of
the liooks of the Shu Ching, where it is
recorded that In the region of Chung
ICang, the fourth emperor of the Ilsla
dyuasty, there occurred nn eclipse of
the sun which had not been' predicted
by the astronomers, who were alleged
to have been drunk and to have
neglected their duties. Ilence the cus
tomary rites for delivering the sun,
which should have been arranged in
advance and superintended by the as
tronomers. were in the emergency per
formed by other officials without
proper preparation. The emperor ac
cordingly ordered the army to punish
the astronomers.
A later document makes it possible
to fix the date of this event as Oct 13,
2127 D. C. (Julian calendar)—the earli
est recorded eclipse in the world. Cal
culation shows that there actually was
a solar eclipse on that date, but prob
ably not in China, though the elements
of the motions of the sun and moon
are not accurate enough to Indicate
certainly the path of so remote nil
eclipse. The authors are inclined to
think that the information fixing the
date of the eclipse is due to Chinese
astronomers of a later age, who cal
culated that an eclipse occurred on
that date and erroneously supposed
that it was visible In China.
