THEY DON'T BELIEVE THE COM
PACT IN PORTLAND.

The Portland Daily Nows of March
LIST says, in relation to the compact re
ported between the ORA MO-. and
the OS.L. as follows:
The telegraph announcem mt pub
lished yesterday 10 this city by the rail
road organ, that ten years compact
had been signed, confirmed and deliv,
cred between the ORG, MOO. and the
Union Pacific company, rela i've to
trade between Portland and Omaha is
not credited here among railroad men.
The telegram purports to come from
General Manager Kimball of the Uni,
Pacific, and evidently orr ginated in the
office of the Omaha Herald, Jay
Gonld's paper in Omaha, was sent to
the CAL. Bulletin, of San FIR ncisco,
both controlled by the corrupt raj road
ring Of the C.P and SP. of California,
and from them telegraphed to the rail,
road organ Of the crowd in Por land.
The Ne,cs then gives reasons stated
by prominent railroad men in the city,
and adds the following:
The news was pretty generally dis
cussed byrailroad men and in mercantile
circles yesterday. Few believed it,
and all seemed to regret that there was
u possibil ty of such a combination be
ing made. The general sentiment ex-
pressed was that if the 0. r. & N. line
became part of the Gould system by
its alliance with the O.SL., that the
Mp. would be seriously injured as a
competing line direct to the East, and
would figure just as much as the S. P,
by the New Orleans route completes
with the C.P. route, to Chicago and to
the far East.

A new position relating to lieu lands is
published in the Reporter, which we have
copied upon our outside. The purport OF this
is that there is no Congressional or Exec
ut've authority for making Withdrawals of
public lands from the privilege of pre.cmp-
tion and homestead settlers entry outside
OF the granted limits, for the benefit Of rail
road companies, and hence all the withdraw
ais made as lieu lands for the Northern
Pacific were male by officers in the depart
ment without the authority of law, and
hence can have no force against settlers upon
the ten mile limit outside of the grant. We
understand that the officers at the Lewiston
land office, will hereafter act upon this
change of ruling and allow settlers upon
these lands to file after settlem emit a i'd make
entries the same as upon other public lands
This will afford great relief to many settlers
in this land district.

asked Bluff in tone of intense disgust.
"Why, took little run up to st. Louis
strictly on business, my dear boy--fact
sir, assure you-and Cairo seems to have
turned upside down in my absence"
"Well, | should remark, answered Bluff,
unbending little pity for his friends man
ifest ignorance. "This play Of ours has
been rehearsiDg at the Cotton Compress for
several weeks, and public interest was on
the qui we to find out something about
what went on there. Riding parties were
en- reggie, of course and they thought they
could sneak round and find out something
in that way. But we fixed them"
"How did you do itl"asked Mercury put
ting his hands in his pockets, and balanc.

"Why, we just put up the yellow fever
flag as danger signal, and the folks fol-
lowed up the example of Napoleon's army,
They galloped up the hill,
And then galloped down again"
"But | hear that your prompter, William
Henry Goat, gave the whole thing awayT
"Oh! that was all fun answered Bluff;

every last thing, except what was donated;
even down to the cake, which William
Henry Goat reduced to the dimensions of a
hollow ring. That fellow wanted salary,
too, but we displayed the club, and he
weakened"
"Well, tell us all about the performancel'
