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.
