SATURDAY, - DECEMBER 22, 1894 FORFEIT THE LANDS. There is a bill before congrees -which if it becomes a law, will forfeit all rail road lands not earned in strict accord ance with the terms of the act nnder .which they were granted. - In other words where lands were "granted to a railroad and the road was not completed -within the time required, the lands con tiguous to the uncompleted line will be forfeited. There never was a more just proposition, for that bill would put the corporations on an exact equality with the citizen. . In locating government land the citizen must comply with the laws especially as to time. He must re side upon the land a certain length of time, make certain improvements, and must within a specified time make proof oi the fact. If he does this he gets title ; if he does not, he gets left. This s the law for the citizen, but it is not the law for the corporation. It has been ruled lor their benefit that the land became theirs, as soon as the act was passed, conditioned only on the completion of the road, when the corporation got ready to complete it. The passage of this bill would restore 54,000,000 acres to the national domain, 36,000,000 of which would come from the Northern Pacific. It will be recol lected that when that portion of the grant along the Columbia was forfeited, Mr. Oakes, president of the Northern Pacific, boasted that the lands they had left, and which, he said, by the act for feiting this portion of the grant, became absolutely the property of his road, were worth $1,000,000,000 or ten times the total cost of the building and equipping of the road. If this statement was true, the lands the other side of Bismarck, which it is conceded the company earned, would alone more than pay for the building and stocking of the entire Northern Pacific system. In other words, giving the company the lands east of Bismarck is equivalent to the government building and equipping the road and presenting it. to the company. Another thing is remembered and that is that right now the Northern Pacific is not willing to accept the entire grant upon the terms under which the settler takes his, but insists that it also owns all mineral lands. Senator Dolph, we are sorry to say is opposed to this lor- tenure ana always was. . mat lact is the heaviest load he has to carry in his coming fight in Salem. It is just and honest that this great corporation should not be given lands it did not earn, and it is just and honest that the people's representatives in con gress should look after the people's rights, instead of the greedy desires of an unholy and grasping monopoly. A PETTY BRIBE. Spokane has been so much a creature of real estate booms that the prevailing idea in that charming city for the ad Tancement of every scheme, is a sub eidy. The latest proposition is to give the United States government a subsidy of 1,000 acres as an inducement to locate a military post there. The idea of this great government, itself the boss subsi dizes accepting a subsidy as a condition of selecting a site for a military post would be ludiculous if it did not border on the pathetic. Sacred history records a somewhat similar case. With several hundred millions of acres of land of its own, the bribe seems trifling. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer has sent a party to explore the summit of Mt. Ranier, the party leaving on the 17th, so that they ought to be heard from soon. The object is to discover the source and cause of the smoke alleged to have issued from the crater a few weeks ago. We notice among the party the name of W. M. Sheffield, a reporter on the Intelligencer. Mr. Sheffield was a Dalles boy, and six years ago was set' ting type in the old Sun office. We have observed that The Dalles boys al ways get there, and there is nothing too high for their ambition, not even the summit of Mt. Ranier in mid-winter. " Hood River people are not injuring themselves by a wild rush to respond to Dr. J. Guy Lewis' invitation to select fruit for him to spread himself on in San Francisco. They had a taste of that business at the world's fair, and con cluded that $10 a yard for the ribbon proposed to be returned to them to show that they had won it, was too expen sive. Some people know whec they have enough of a good thing, and the Hood River people are of that kind. Ben Tillman, of South Corolina, will soon have an opportunity to make good the brags he made on the stump last summer about what he would do when be got into the senate. He promised to J give Cleveland the worst drubbing ne ever had in his life, to utterly demolish and confound the gold bugs, and to bring the railroad managers to their marrow-bones. He was just going to make things hum in that old senate and make the country realize that somebody had got there. Chicago Tribune. , The Oregon Pacific railroad was ad vertised to be sold today at Corvallis. It is expected that a Montana syndicate will bid on it and probably secure it. If this is accomplished it will mean an other trans-continental railroad within a couple of years, and it will also forever still the Prineville Review's arguments that a railroad will prove a curse in stead of a blessing to Crook county.
