LAND GEANTS TO BE FORFEITED
Washjkgton, Jan. 21. Representa
tive Cobb of Indiana thinks that C.
P. Huntington showed amazing
effrontery in daring to appear before
the committee on public lands, of
j which Mr: Cobb is chairman, to op
pose the forfeiture of the California
and Oregon railroad land grant Mr.
Cobb says: "In 1878 1 met Hunting
ton, who was here to oppose the sub
sidy of the Texas Pacific by a guar
antee by the government of $29,000,
000 for its bonds. His ground of op
position was that he was building a
road on a parallel line by private cap
ital, asking no aid from the govern
ment. I believed in his bona fides
and helped him to prevent the passage
otthe Scott bilL Huntington, in the
meantime, had passed through Cali
fornia and New Mexico and had
peached Colorado, "His plan was to
go straight ahead, without even ask
ing the government or any one else
for a right of way. In California he
was making rapid progress through a
military reservation Ifhen be was
stopped by General Sherman as he
was constructing a bridge over the
river at Fort Yuma. A detachment
of soldiers was sent to enforce the
order, and the .railroad men promised
to desist. The soldiers and civilians
left the spot together, the former to
remain in their quarters for the night,
but Huntington's men executed a
flank movement and by morning had
cars running over that bridge. This
is a sample of how Huntington's work
was rushed along.
"Scott died, and Jay Gould and
Huntington made an agreement
whereby, according to that part which
was made public, the Texas Pacific
grant was conveyed to the Southern
Pacific railroad Finding that a pat
ent was about to be issued, Payson
came to Washington last summer and
filed protect against it One Newell,
who had done lobbying for Hunting
ton and had never been paid, was
about at the same-Jime, and had .filed
a very damaging document He
wanted access to certain orders,
which the interior department ruled
were closed to him, as a private per
son. Mr. Payson and I were about to
file our protest, when Newell asked
permission to act as an attorney,
representing that it would give him
the necessary access to the
records. We made the appoint
ment, stipulating the extent of his
powers under it In the meantime
we left, and Newell experienced a
change of heart, from what cause I
know not, and demanded back his
diary, at the same time attempting to
withdraw our protest against the pat
ent. I came on again, just in time to
prevent this."
In answer to an inqury as to the
cause of the delay in preparing a ro
" port on the forfeiture of the Texas
Pacifio grant, Mr. Cobb said: "The
committee directed Mr. Payson and
myself to prepare" a report on the
road. At first we decided to make
this brief, but in writing it we found
go much that was so important for the
house to be acquainted with before
voting that we agreed it would be
best to make it more exhaustive. As
Horace Greely was wont to remark,
Jt will be mighty interesting read
ing.' We - shall give a number of
Huntington's letters in this report
It will be ready to present to the com
mittee fin Tuesday, and it will bo
printed and placed before every mem
ber on the following day, so that
when we ask for a suspension of rules
we shall ask for the passage of the
bilL In the next three months twen
ty 'jnillion acres of railway lands will
-certainly be declared forfeited to the
government and declared open to
public entry."
Salmon Fisheries at Humboldt.
One quite important industry in
Humboldt is that of the "salmon fish
eries" and salmon canning. I made
a visit to the cannery, and also to the
nsneries ueyonu. ino uuhihuss,
all through, is very interesting. But
to watch them oatch the fish in seines
is very exciting sport, indeed. There
are generally from six to eight men
to manage one seine, and, sometimes
they use a span of horses to haul it
in.' Tirst, trom the shore a man,
with the seine in his boat, moves out,
dropping out the seine until quite a
large half circle is formed, the conical-shaped
wooden balls resting on
ihejrater and showing to quite a dis
tance. Then men at either end of the
eeine begin to "haul in," until it is
all in fish and net A good "haul"
is from two to six or eight tons.
When the fish are all in, then comes
the sport The fish, entangled in
fixe meshes of the seine, make a des
perate struggle for freedom, spatter
ing the water freely on the fishermen.
It looks as if it were all the men
couId3p to manage them. They are
taken from the seines, put into scows
or boats, and, if intended for the
cannery, they are taken to a floating
wharf house, where several Chinamen
xcalve them, and with sharp knives
Tjiftly decapitate, cut them up,
wash; clean them and make them
ready for the canning process. To a
tudent of ichthyology it would be
qaite interesting to watch the huge
piieror nsn in tneir various stages ot
preparation. The cannery is quite a
large building, or group of buildings,
and is well supplied with all needful
improvements and methods for doing
the work with neatness and dispatch.
TJbflfisb are "pntup" in half-pound
ca;jHid the cannery has a capacity
lor canning 60,000 cans per day.
About sixty-five Chinamen are em
ployed about the works, but I saw
only about half that number, as it was
an off day, and they were engaged in
labeling and testing cans, a perform
anceby an expert that elicited our
Bttrprise, by the dexterity with which
it was accomplished. They were al
so engaged in making cans and boxes
tot shipping. After the fish are
caught, canned, boxed and ready for
shipping, they are taken in boats to
oaaa point on Eel river, then hauled
aitbes ike country to Hookton to be
shipped below. Corr. Bulletin.

A Dr.y of IJccliouiu"
In the house of representatives
last Monday Wm. S. Holmau, of In
diana, moved to suspend the rules and
adopt the follewing:
liesolted, That in the judgment of
the house all public lands heretofore
granted states and corporations, and
to aid the construction of railroads,
so far as the samo are subject to for
feiture by reason of nou-tulfillment
of the conditions on which the grants
were made, ought to be declared for
feited to the United States and re
stored to the public domain.
Resolzed, That it is to the highest
public interest that laws touching
public lands be so framed and ad
ministered as ultimately to secure
freeholds therein to the greatest num
ber of citizens; and to this end laws
facilitating speculation in public
lands, or authorizing or permitting
entry or purchase thereof in largo
bodies, ought to be repealed, and all
public lands adapted to agriculture,
ought to bo reserved for the benefit
of actual and bona fide settlers, and
disposed of under the provisions of
homestead laws only.
Resolzed, That the committee on
public lands be instructed to report
to the honse bills to carry into effect
the views expressed in the foregoing
resolutions, and bo authorized to re
port such bills at any time, subject
only to revenue and appropriation
bills, and that the same shall be in
like order entitled to consideration.
Kasson expressed concurrence in
the first resolution, but thought the
house ought not to act rashly on the
second, which might work injury to
the cattle industry.
Beed thought it dangerous for the
house to adopt on a moment's notice
a resolution so sweeping in its pro
visions. Belford supported the resolution,
especially the second provision. He
did not propose that four or five cat
tle kings should own the West as
four or five railroad monarchs owned
the East.
Howo opposed the resolutions, bo
cause it might do injustice to somo
road earnestly striving to earn its
lands.
Dunn and Cobb supported tho res
olution briefly, though the lattor
claimed there was no necessity for it,
as tho committee on lands wero al
ready working hard in tho matter.
The resolutions wero adepted:
Yeas, 251; nays, 18. George, of this
state was one of tho 18 that voted in
the negative.
