THS STORY OP A LAND GRANT IN WHICH THE ASTORIA LAND GRANT FIGURES Jso ths Story of Some Congress jock Who Became "Wall Street Lambs. , , ,-, , ,,.. . , JwJife Favson. of Illinois, wlio " . ' . 1 , . ,. . J ntmitt?, remained in Washing- j ton during the New Year holidays l'r tin purpose of conducting an investigation of his own at the interior dopmiment. Several Mks ape .lude Payson received r nwnbtr of letters from rcsi- dMs of Oregon complaining about th notion of the secretary of the iwtTMK- in withholding from pre emption 1.500,000 acres grautcd somf yenr. ago to the Oregon Oeit.nii Railroad company. It wt" said tlU this grant had lapsed long ago, and that this vast tract f Imni should be thrown open to public ontry. Judge Payson kokd up the original grant hy congress nude in 1S7J. and found Utat tlie company was required to buikl its road within five years in order t secure tho land. There was Mover any pretence made upoM the part of tho Oregon Central of constructing its road from Portland to "Walla Walla, as described in the act. Only forty miles of road have been built by this cow puny, and this runs from Portland down to a point on the Oregon and California railroad. The Oregon Central company's line wxs not to have run in a northwest erly direction. Judge Payson called at the Interior dopartment after he had learned that the Oregon Central company was no longer in exist once, to ask why a grant to a de funct company should stand in the way of the interests of bona fide hitlers seeking to obtain the land at Ue regular government rate. The secretary of the interior said it was no part of his business to de clare a railroad grant lapsed. That was for congress alone to decide. He was obliged to hold the lands until congress declared the grant forfeited. Judge Payson then said that he should ask the ju diciary committee to report a reso lution declaring this grant lapsed. He was comforted with a new complication. The area of the old grant of the Oregon Central is nearly covered by two other grants. The Oregon Central was an outgrowth of the Northwestern transportation interests, which have heett consolidated by the Villard combination. The Oregon and California railroad, also a land-grant road, runs right over the lower half of the domain of the Oregon Central. Then the Northern Pa cific has run an imaginary line across the upper end of the tract, and has filed a map of the same in the interior department, claim ing that it intends to run a branch road in the direction indicated by the lino on the map. This carries with it the same grant of land given to the main line of the Northern Pacific. The two claims leae only about one-fifth of the tract of 150,000 acres, free from dispute. Judge Payson -will ask the com mittee next Friday to report a resolution declaring all the lands in the state of Oregon given to the Central company open to public entry. Judge Payson intends also to push vigorously his resolution declaring the forfeiture of the land grant of the Northern Pacific. A pool was formed last winter on the floor of the house for the purpose of speculating in North ern Pacific securities. When the judiciary committeo agreed to a report in favor of not forfeiting the grant a pledge of secrecy was imposed by Chairman Reed. The, I pool members early learned what the rags he saturate! with whisky. ' was to be reported, and combined j Ho tried several times to get fir ! to buy Xorthern Paciiie lor a by shooting under tho boar, but handsome rise, but tho Wail ' street boys were too sharp. They , also had private points. They ran v Al ,- .r . . . ,, uSoi them Pacific riffht up so that I itin f 1 tho congressional lambs had to reach prettv hirh for the tock. Then when the favorable report came, the hammers were set at work, and tho stock driven down until the congressmen were frozen out of their margins. The mem ory of this sad experience has em bittered many a member, so that more votes will be found this win ter for Judge Payson? resolution of forfeiture than at last session. Ntxc York Sun. Fatten Your Own Stock The meat production of the United States could bo easily ab sorbed to the extent of feeding 100,000,000 of population. It will never be done so long as the average farmer is content to sell his grain, leaving the production of meat, beef especially, in the hands of compaiativcly few, who ! make stock, a specialty ot fattening The same is true in the case of sheep, though not. to tho same degree. But for some j reason the American farmer, and, indeed, the American people, Uo not take kindly to mutton. Tho taste should be educated in this direction. In all our hill country sheep should be the most profitable of farm stock, and particularly in the lull region of the south, where early lambs may be turned off at a low cost, to be eagerly bought in the northern markets. So swine should be carried to the full ca pacity of every farm, both north and south. There is a world's demand for well fattened, healthy pork, aud always will be. Where the cli mate is adapted to the growth of Indian corn, the most profitable use it can be put to is fattening steers and hogs for market. If the fanner, cultivating from ei"-ht acres upward, would study these meat problems carefully as- to the profit in a series of years, taking into consideration the increased value of his farm over that where the coarsegrains weresold,he would not bo long recognizing the fact that his true interest la' in carry ing as much live stock as his land would feed. Our most wealthy farmers are those who have given their atten tionto the production of meat, butter and cheese. They always will bo. Instead of producing comparatively little mor.e wheat than is required for home con sumption, our export should be iu this direction, rather than in the export of grain. The first course brings the more money and con tinuousby enriches the soil. The latter " policy never made the farmer rich who persisted in it year by year. In the end he mugt lay out all his profits for fertilizers, while the stock farmer gets his profits as he goes along, and ac cumulates manure enough yoar by year to keep his soil fully up to its original fertility. Exchange. Only One Match. Bell and Johnson one day last week were caught out in a freezing snow storm with on a lake in Indiana, when it was already growing dark. The had but one match. They got ashore. Johnson spread his rubber coat on the ground, and turned the boat upside down over it. He then crawled under the boat and whittled the deck boards into fine shavings upon the rubber coat; then taking his oiled gun rags from his cartridge case, poured his bot tle of gun oil upon them; borne of J i did not once .succeed in icmhixi"- the rags. By this time they were nearly frozen. The time had conn, to see what virtue there was in tho match. They could delay no longor and live, for they weie perishing. They felt that their lives depend- ted upon the match. Johnson im agined that the coat was damp and cold and might extinguish the fire, so he called to his friend to empty his shell-box and hand it to him. This being done, he carefully gath ered his shavings and rags into it. Though already suffering with the intense cold, Johnson and Bell took off their outer coats aud ' stuffed them under the side of the boat to prevent the wind's putting out the match. Fearing the awful consequences of a failure, Johnson weakened and asked Bell to striko the match, which Bell lacked the courage to do; so, with fingers nearly frozen, Johnson took the' solitary match, upon which the' lives of two souls depended, anil, ' with trembling hand he at first j struck, oh, so carefully, on the end of the match-safe. The second stroke less gently than the first.! The third stroke, with more vigor, j ignited the match and they were ! safe.
