ammjMinytng the foregoing communication.
" In i teller elsewhere published will be found
a statement of the legal ground on which the
claim of the Northern Pacific Kaiiroad corporation
to the undiwlurbed possession of ill land grant U
lsed. ' ' ' '
Our corrtKindent shows that while Congress
may do 'any and all acli and things which may
be neressaiy to insure a speedy completion of the
road,' it cannot divert the gianled landi to any
other purpose, The implied attack on Mr Schun
(it hit ruling Secretary of the Interior in favor
of the road are clearly shown to be baseless. Two
questions were submitted to Mr. Schurz: I. Had
the grant to the Company lapsed by reason of the
Company! failure to perform certain acts within
the time iiecified? and, 1. If it hat to lapsed, can
the drpaitment recognize any acts by the Company
looking to the initiation of new rights or the en
largement of old ones? Mr. Schurz was disposed
to decide both questions against the Company,
but on their submission tu Attorney-Genera!
I k-vrns, that officer decided that the time iiecified
for the completion of the road would not expire
till July 4th, 1879; that till Congress takes Heps
to ilrclnre a forfeiture of the land grant it remains
in full force ami effect, and lhat the grant must be
held to be the same as it existed on the day when
it was made anil accepted by the Company."

enormous loads of cherries, plums, apples and
pears borne by the trees of this region are one of
the constant sources of astonishment to persons
from the East.
Trees here are also more free from pests and
are healthier than those of the Atlantic This
may not always continue to be the case, but it
certainly has during the past twenty-five years.
Und costs little or nothing. Trees can be
bought at very low rates. They bear early, they
bear heavily, and they bear unfailingly. The
home demand for fruits is yet fully equal to the
supply. The demand abroad is incalculable, and
is ever pressing upon the producer. Putting these
things all together we are obliged to believe that
in the near future fruit will be one of the chief
products of our people, second, perhaps, to no
other. Post-Inlrllirencer.

H. II. Warner & Co.: Sits I have suffered
untold agony from an affection of the kidneys and
bladder. I received no relief until I used your
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, which did me more
good than all the springs and doctors combined.
I consider it the greatest medicine of the age for
kidney and bladder troubles.
