The Fresno Expositor says: An item

three points outside the regular vineyard

FROM WASHINGTON CITY.
Acting Land (JoiniiiiHsioner Powers has

lusion about twenty-three tint Imt and

now held by J. li. Montgomery of Port
land, Or., to whom the land were trans
ferred Immediately after final proof
were made.
The board, consisting of engineers of
the army and three engineers front civil
life, appointed to examine and report
upon the feasibility of h boat railway or
home other method of improved naviga
tion ill The Italics has submitted j t h re
port to Ihe War llepuitlnelit. Cp to the
present time the department has refused
lo make it public, bectlUMe t he report WitH
ordered by Congress and, it is t htimed,
must be made public in CongresK.
Knoiigh is learned about, it, however, to
know that Ihe boat rail wav proposition
has received a blin k eye; also lite canal,
w hii'h, it is claimed, would eoil loo much
money. The only scheme recommended
by the board in said to be a portage rail
way. It will be almost impossible for
Ihe Oregon delegation in Congress to
overturn Ibis report.
The hepartmeiit of State has not been
informed of the reported purpose of the
Chinese government to retaliate upon
the I'liited Stales, evidenced hy ,e re
ported prohibition of the purchase, use
or Male of American kerosene in the prov
ince of Ainov. liven if there bun been
sin b a prohibition, it is not believed ut
Ihe department thai it can be ri earded
as a measure adopted in a spirit of retal
iation, hut rather as an exhibition of the
extremely conservative character of the
Chinese, whose resistance to such an in
novation as the use of kerosene may
have been sireii'-thened bv some recent
casualties. Moreover, it is a fact that a
mere Viceroy of a province would scar
Iv be authorized to institute a policy of
retaliation, which would rather lie initi
ated by the imperial government itself.
Secretary Smith was aded Ihe other
day w hitt would be Ihe probable policy
of the Interior 1'epaitmcnt in reference
to the approval of lists of .Northern ra
il! lands under the grant w hich was
not earned ill the time specilied, but vet
to which the company assumes title. The
Secretary seemed to bi of the opinion
that, the lauds having been earned, the
company would undoubtedly be entitled
to them, ami that in the approval of the
lists, unless the statutes Ktid that thev
old not be approved if not earned in
tune, he supposed that hi! should not
take that oiieslion into consideration,
lie intended to follow the law, no mat ter
what the asMimption might be of parties
interested, lie llddeil : "There is llo
doubt that the building of thi! road was
a great improvement. It has been of
benelit to the country, mid the gov
ernment has had the advantage of sell
ing its lands, and the mini try has been
settled and developed. Of course, the
road has been built and Ihe lands have
been earned. I shall look into the law
on .lie subject before making approval,
and smtll act on the law, whatever it is."
It was suggested that quite a large party
in Congress was anxious to forfeit these
lands. TheSecrelary said that he had
heard of it, but, lhat he would have to
follow Ihe law Congress had enacted
rather than anything that may be in
prospect. The probabilities are that the
lists will be approved ami any efforts
made to forfeit the lauds w ill be defeated
by the Ueiuocratic administration, as it
seems to be regarded that the road, even
if it did not complete its line in the time
specilied, made every ellbrt to do so, and
its intention was amply shown from the
fact that the road was really built.
CHICAGO EXPOSITION.
The suggestion conies from Chicago
that the World's Fair may have to bo
continued throughout next year in order
to enable the management to recoup it
self for th vast expenditures that liavo
been made.
The Spanish caravels are on their way
to Chicago by a long water route, and
will probably not reach the World's Fair
before July. They will be objects of
great interest to the people who encoun
ter them in tho St. Lawrence or the
Lakes.
Much-needed money is now flowing
into the treasury of the exposition as a
result of the largely increased attendance
of visitors. No one welcomes tho change
more than Treasurer Seeburger, whose
position since May 1 lias not been an
enviable one. The exposition has heen
short of ready money to liquidate its ob
ligations to contractors and employes,
and it is not out of tho woods yet by "any
means. Bank and commercial failures
in that region and tho panicky feeling
among savings-bank depositors, which
lias just subsided, have made it impos
sible for the exposition corporation to
borrow any large sum of money, and the
directors liave stuck manfully to the pay-as-you-go
policy, having conlidenco in a
speedy and permanent change in the
number of paid admissions. The 100,
000 mark has been passed at the gates
HCTeral times, and is accepted as an in
dication of an era of prosperity and a
plentitudo of cush to pay oil' all out
standing bills. There is a standing order
at tho I'liiance department for Auditor
Ackernian to hold all vouchers for money
duo on April and May contract work ih
his ollice until there is money to spare
in tho treasury for the payment of it.
It means that' only March" bills have
been paid on contract work, but tho em
ployes of the exposition have been paid
promptly. There is much discontent
among the workmen on the pay roll of
the fair on account of the order just is
sued by tho director of works reducing
the force to an eight-hour basis and eight
hours' pay. They have been working
ten hours" and for eleven hours' pay.
There is talk of striking, but such a step
is likely to result in the strikers being
put on an indefinite vacation basis with
out pay.

piece on a down trip the other day, and on
the return trip the Rambler boarded the
same conductor's car and offered the same
ten cent piece for the fare. "Yon remem
ber you gave me that yourself," suggested
the Rambler, as the conductor hesitated.
He looked up, smiled and, recognizing the
face, took the discount dime and said: "It's
curious how money travels from hand to
hand. I got that dime from a poor woman.
I give it to you in change. You return it
to me, and now I am going to pass it off
gain, so that probably within an hour it
will pay four or five times Its face value.
That reminds me of a circumstance," con
tinued the conductor, after he had helped
a pretty girl on the car.
"The man was one of my regular passen
gers. He rode with me four or five times
a week regularly. One day he handed me
a half dollar with a name stamped across
It. He said, 'You won't take that, I sup
pose.' Oh. yes,' I answered, and put it ia
my pocket. A few days afterward he gave
me a bill, and the half dollar, which I had
saved, went back in the change. He
laughed when he saw it and said he would
keep it to remember his friend, the conduc
tor, by. I did not see him for several
months. Then he showed up again and
told me he had been to San Francisco. He
carried the half dollar all the way and
started ,to spend it several times, but did
not, and kept it for good luck. 'Here it is
now,' he said, as he showed it to me, 'and
it has traveled twice across the continent
since you laid eyes on it last.' So much,
you see, for one half dollar's history, and
only a few months of it at that. Bridget
All change!" concludes the conductor.

The Best Way to Avoid Colds.
How long, oh, Lord! how long before
people will learn that the person who
bundles himself or herself up in heavy
clothing and thick bandages to escape colds
and kindred inconveniences is the person
who is most likely to catch cold and be
troubled generally by the things that it is
attempted to escape? In winter one often
sees the foolish young man who won't go
into the cold air unless his neck is muffled
in a silk kerchief or shielded from the
wind by the turned up coat collar. And
that person always has a cold. Just about
this timeof the year, when colds are plenti
ful enough, you'll notice that the people
who catch them are the people who are
forever exhibiting the utmost anxiety that
they will catch them, and adopting elabo
rate precautions against the dread disorder.
Well, here is something that is true;
The way to keep colds off is to strengthen
those parts that are usually the seats of
disturbance, and the way to strengthen
those parts is by exposure. That sounds
like bad advice, but it isn't. Don't be
afraid to let the wind get a good crack at
you, and let It strike often, and you'll not
nave so many colds as the fellow that's al
ways muffled. Interview in St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
Remember It.
Economy Is the parent of Integrity, of
liberty and of ease, and the sister of tem
perance, of cheerfulness and of health; and
profuseness is a cruel and crafty demon,
that generally involves her followers in
dependence and debts that is, fetters them
with "irons into their souls." New York
