put a force of men aud teams at work
grading a roadbed to the north
from tbe depot. The force both of
tneu aud teams, is small, but more
may be added We also learn that tbe
disputes over rii(ht of way belweeu
Alturas and tha X raucb are in a
fair way for adjustment and that
condemnatlou suits are to be called
off. Whether the oompany latxud
to build ou tu Lklew in the near
future is a question we cannot an
swer, aud we dou't believe Mr.
Ounaway hluiBelf can. In all proba
bll ity the work will be continued
through thb Pit river cauyou, that
beuitf tbe Key to all this country,
uortn aud south.
The grade now belug constructed
from the depot to the ui rth of Alturas
Is a regulation tiroad yaue grade.
This of course means that it ii in
tended as a broad gauge road at
some future time.

N. C. 0. BEFORE
R R COMMISSION
The Reno Journal of Nov 14th. says:
On November '.M a heating of the
case of E. Lauer it Sons and S. R.
Hunch, merchants of Alturas. Calif.,
against the N-C-O railroad aod the
Southern Pacific will begin. Lxam
iner lirowo, of the interstate com
merce commission, will arrive here
on that date, and will take the evi
dence of tbe complaioaats and pass it
up to the commission.
Lower rates in both directions are
sought by the merchants who claim
that present rates are exborbitant.
The apeciflo reductions sought are
on shipments from Reno to Alturas,
aud from Sacramento to Keno on
sliibf iients bound for Alturas.
The rates out of Alturas will also
come under protest.
cedaiWilTeTants
better mails
Cedarvllle Record, 17tb : A peti
tion was cironlated here last week,
praying for tbe establishment of a
mail route for Surprise Vulley aud
Warner Lake to (iranite Point ou tbe
Western PaolUo. It now takes mail
46 hours to reach here from San
Prancisoo. By way of (iranite Point
tbe time estimated is about ' hours
from San Francisco here.
While the above advantages are
bigbly desirable as to sboteoiug time
In transit, it might also be construed
as a step backward to tbe long stage
rides. When tbe N-C-O is extended
to Lakeview a station for Surprise
will be located about 18 miles from
Cedarvllle. iben also tbe schedule
will be changed so that tbe diffe
rence In time will be slight. That is
the condition the result will appear
later on.

NEW RULING AS TO
GOVERNMENT LAND
Looks as Though An
Entry Man Can Secure
480 Acres.
LOS ANUELES, Nov. 24. A rul
ing by tbe secretary of tbe interior
io a lo'inl case appearnig completely
to nullify an important rule hereto
fore enforced as to tbe area of tbe de
sert land and tbe entryman ultimate
ly is entitled to, has been received
by the register of tbe Los Angela
land office. It is beld that "one who
holds land under an unperfected des
ert land entry is not the proprietor
thereof within the meaning of the
statute holding disqualified to make
homestead entry one who is tbe pro
prietor of more than 10U acres of
land."
This apparently indicates that, al
though an eDtrymau has made au en
try ot HiO acres ot land, be still may
take a full 3'i0 acres of desert land
instead of tbe 100 acres heretofore
permitted.
WILL NEED FRUIT
CANNERY HERE
The Dallas Observer says that there
is an opening for a fruit canneiy
there, and that berries and small
fruits grow well. It baa been de
monstrated that an established can
nery raises the value ot land within
four miles suitable for its products
from t to !U0 an acre. Manufac
turer putting bis money into can-
ery risks mote and makes less tban
the land owners. A cannery enables
a farmer, wbo could barely make a
liviug before, to be able to retire on
bis rental income after a cannery has
run a year or two aud given indica
tions of remaning. There will also
be an opeuing tor a big plaut of that
kind In Lakeview, so soon as tbe rail
road reaches this town.

induce immigration. They recently
got up sn agricultural exhibit,
wbioh is to be showj at Chicago and
also at Omaha.
Among tbe articles forwarded are:
Oats, 8 feet 3 inches tall; carrots
20 iuobes lung; blackberry vine
(one year growth). 6 feet 6 inches
tall ; alfalfa (second crop), 6 feet 6
iuobes tall; timothy hay 5 feet tall;
petatoes weighing 5 pounds, cababgea
'28 pounds, beets '28 pounds, turinps
15 pounds; apples almost as large as
a man's bead, oniojs weighing 3
pounds.
It seems there is a law in this
stata that permits the county courts
to devote 1,W0 each year for adver
tisiug purposes aud that fund bas

this exhibition.
