LAND QUESTION SETTLED.

Secretary Teller has decided that
lands, within the limits of railroad
grants, that had been p~e-emptel or
hemesteaded before the grant was
made, are not a part of the grant
and that when abandoned do not re-
vert to the grant but are open to be
entered upon as before. This will
be glorious news to hundreds of our
people who were located on lands
prior to the Texas s. Pacific and At
lantic & Pacific grants. Many have
nue homes built up which they have
occupied for years and the jeopardy
In which they were placed by these
grants was q most unsatisfactory
and annoying condition Of affairs. 1t

finally settled and that our peopls
can 20 ON with their Improvements
