NORTHERN BRANCH ADAM
DONED.

The following is Secretary Schusz's
decision permitting and confirming the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company's
application for a change Of the location
of their branch line from the Sksgit to
the Puyallup. This will. at least. for .
certainty release the government lands
north of this county. Whether the
grant will attach permanently to the
Puyallup line embracing the lands in
King county. will Of course await the
pronunciamento Of tribunals Of higher
resort than the Department Of the In
terror. He says:
IL have considered the application
of Hon. o. Jacobs for . re-cohsiders-
ton Of the action Of my predecessor, on
the Gath of November last, approving
the m6p of the amended route OF the
Northern Pacific Railroad in Washing
ton Territory.
The application WAS file1 December
9th, 1876. during the administration

Il cannot DO denied that there 10 force

might cause the department to hesitate
before permitting . change OF route.
You report that the number OF settlers

fifty. On the contrary. it appears that
by the change large quantity Of land

The Company furthermore assert.
that since tho approval Of the map it
has contracted for ties for thirty miles
of road; that . portion of the iron has
been purchased and shipped and the
grading has been commenced. But
the action Of my predecessor in ap-
proving tha amended map appears TO
have been in accordance with the prac-
tice Of this department, and in my
Judgment was for the best interests OF
the government, and ! zee no sufficient
reason why the Same should be revoked
The motion for . reconsideration of

A Legend Abour coffee.

There is a legend about coffee - a
legend In which pious Mussulman is
the hero. The Mussulman used to get
sleepy during his deyotiOns, and 30 he
prayed to Mohammed, who came to his
aid. MOhammed sent him for advice
a goatherd, who took hint from his
goats. He observed that when these
animals ate the berries Of a particular
tree they got frisky and excited
bouJded about all the night, in fact.
The Mussulman took the hint, ate the
cOffeeberries, slept less, and no doubt
prayed better.
That was the legend. That coffee,
however. was sold in the streets of Cairo
toward the end of the sixteenth century
is not a matter Of legend, but history.
In fact, il was not only sold, but il was
forbidden to be sold. An Arabian his
torisn recOunts that in the year 1888 a
cafe was attacked by the authorities.
and the customers who were found on
the spot hurried of 10 prison, from
which they were not liberated till they
had each received seventeen strokes
with stick, for the encouragement of
others. And, Ia fact, this raid served
the purpose so excellent that i've and
twenty years sfterward the town of
Cairo could boast of more than 1000
shops where coffee might be bought
