Railroad Lands.

The house of representatives last Thurs
day, on motion OF Delegate Brents. of Wash
ington Territory, took up and passed the
bill reported by Representative Berry last
session from the public lands committee for

The state of affairs in Ireland NAV
be judged fairly by the following re-
cent dispatch from Dublin:
The statement of Baron Dowse at
the opening OF the Connaught assizes
at Galway showed that in four months
69s indictabe aff'rays had been re-
ported in COnnaught. For these only
30 persons had been rendered amend
able. 81 persons against whom Of
lenses had been committed had
through terror or desire to shield Of
Tenders refused to give evidence, pros
ecute or assist the police. Lesser Of
lenses are also numerous. In Mayo
there were SSs lesser and 276 indicta-
bic offenses. Baron Dowse said that
II this state of affairs was allowed to
continue the consequence would be
immediate danger to Ireland and ulti-
mate disgrace to the empire. Even
reports by police do not include all the
outrages committed and threatening
letters received.

The Oregonion is authority for the
statement that belief has become
widely prevalent that grants of land
heretofore made to uncompleted rail-
roads have reverted to government,
and that such lands may now be en-
tered by settlers, the same as other
lands. Such notion is an error. No
land grant on the Pacific slope has
been declared forfeit, or has been re-
sumed by the government. No lands
within the limits of these grants can
be entered at less than double mini
mum price. If a person who may be
interested will take note of these facts
they may save themselves much
trouble.
