Kress in 1890,
$2.50 per acre was charged in-
tend of the regular price of
$1 LT) on the theory that the
building Of the railroad would
enhaiii e the value of the land.
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

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. Among thess hills
reported favorably NN the
Homes for Soldiers Hill and the
Mineral Land Leasing Mill, each
of w hich reiuird weeks of con
eideration The bound volume
of I ills and reports of this com
mittee during tbe both Congress
makes a book thicker than Web

'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.

Country I'rofrrcKH
In I he bin cities they still
thjnk it is smart to have their
ancient "rube" and ' hayseed"
jokes.
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.
