The mad was not built and the Supreme Court of the United States, in 1919 decided that a refund should be made to pur chasers of land in odd sections. The Commissioner ruled that this decision of tbe Supreme Court did not cover the even sections, but the Secretary of the interior has recently held that the refund should likewise apply to the even sections as well as to the odd. The lands involved are embraced in a strip forty miles wide on each side ol the proposed line of the North ern Pacific alone tbe Columbia RivSf from Wallula Junction, Washington, to Cortland, Or Hon, which was forfeited on ac count of the failure of the rail road company to construct the road Applicants will have until December 1 1, 1921, to file appli cations for repayment, and may obtain application blanks '.v writing to Representative Sin not t. Work ol' HotlltS Committees The invoice of work done by the different committees of the House of Repres intatlves daring the 66th Congress reveals the remarkable record made by the House Committee on the Public Lands of which N. J. Sinnott of Oregon is Chairman. During the With Con ureas 17,-UIW bills, resolutions, etc. , were presented feO the House of Representatives, of these 1,420 or about 8 per cent were reported to the House, and 5W4 or less than -l per cent became laws During t he past Congress o.io bills, acts, resolutions, etc , were referred to Chairman Un Boat's committee; of these 117, or about 82 per cent were reported to the House, and 70 or -51 per cent of those referred to his committee became laws Moreover; while only one fifty-third of all the bills introduced in the House were referred to the Public Lands Committee, almost one eighth of all the laws approved were bills, etc., functioned on hy this ureal committee.

'I ke Poor, Noble. lm I Horse It certainly is too bad about the horse Men who were ex perts predicted even as long as 15 J ears ago that he was doomed, that the automobile would chase him into oblivion. Then, around about 1910 or 1912, the farmers started to buy automobiles to beat the city man and a little later tractors be trim to rill the country fields with their hoarse growl, Thus the end was near, so near that Well, so near that the census of 1920 showed two million more horses in the United States than did the census of 1910 - this in the face of the fact that about a million and a half had been shipped out of the country dui iny the war. Isn'!. it a hoirible pity about the poor, disappearing horse! OL, .ves; here's another jilt. The (.020 census counted 2o,(i0, 000 horses, the greatest number in the history of the United States The auto is a good thing and so's the farm tractor, but the farmer must have his horses, too There are various reasons for the survival of the doomed, horse, bu t that's the chief one.

It beats all how provincial and narrow people are when they are shut, up in the canyons and the limits of bigtownsi They get so they don't know how the world progresses A week in the rural towns and on the farm would open the eyes of the fellow who still jokes, as his father and grandfather did about rubes. What is more up to date any where than the fol lowing: A Kansas farmer, driving a long the country road the other day in his Big Six automobile, I urned a coiner too sharply and went into a ditch Carried into the nearby farm house, a farm hand who was a soldier in France, gr-ve him Hrst aid and found thai he needed skillful surgioel attention at once. Tak ing down the farm house 'phone, the first aider' called up a noted surgeon in Kansas City, 7." miles away. In ten minutes the doc tor was aboard an airplane and in less than an hour be was at the injured man's Side, An hour! later, the operation wasoverand the patient was comfortably resti ng. Thus, in less than three hours after the event, the life of an in jured man had been savt. d on ihe scene of accident far back in the country, by a skillful physician from a great city many miles away.
