THE NEW PARK ROAD.

The Carbon County Journal has
the following to say regarding the
proposed railway through Wyom-
ing to the Park:
Recently reference was made to
the fact that Il party OF engineers
had come from Denver for the pur-
pose of surveying Il road to the
'ellowstone. Everything stated
regarding the road was correct: Be-
ginning at the soda lakes near Raw
lis, the syndicate that controls the
lakes and of which Secretary r. ):
\. Morgan is II member, will extend
the road to Fort Washakie, by the
most direct route practicable and
thence on to Yellowstone.
Mcssrs Wallace and Boutwell, have
ten civil engineers now at work on
the line and it has been surveyed
far enough to secure the right of
way. Unlimited capital Is at the
command of the company, and there
is no doubt that the road will be
pushed on to completion.

A Paris dispatch to the Exchange
Telegraph says: A member of the
cabinet declares chat the campaign

pushed and decisive blow struck
before France comes to terms with
China, whose resistance to the
French terms for the settlement of
the question is largely due to the
encouragement she receives from
England.

The plaintiff considers that the

WHAT CAN BETAKEN AS A TREE
CLAIM,

In recent case before the secre-
tary of the interior decision was
rendered of Importance to every
one who contemplates taking up
tree claim. In the case in question
quarter. section on which there
were large number Of trees was
entered as tree claim. A contest
was filed against the entry and an
attempt made to have it cancelled,
on the ground that it was not de-
void of timber as required by the
provisions of the timber culture
act. The matter finally came by way
of appeal before the Secretary of
the interior, when he rendered the
following decison:
''From the preponderance of the
evidence it would appear that there
was on this section about 500 trees
of natural growth, varying in dia-
meter from six inches to two feet
and more, and consisting of ash,
oak, elm and some underbrush;
that this growth of timber is CEN
fined to tract from five to eight
acres in extent situated in bend of
South Buffalo creek (Minnesota) in
the extreme corner of the south
west quarter, and partially if not
wholly subject to overflow; and the
remainder of this section, includ-
including the part entered is prairie.
The general character of the sur
rounding country outside of this
section, should not be taken into
consideration, but it is eminently
proper that the situation of this
natural growth of timber and its re-
lation to the section should be con-
sidered as well as the amount and
character of the timber. 1t was
held by your predecessor, and l
think properly, that when the
growth of timber and is confined to
fixed limits is inadequate to
the demands of the people who
usually reside upon one section
with no prospect that the timber
will spread to meet said demands,
such tract is subject to entry un-
der the timber culture laws, and
this case seems to fall within the
rule as thus laid down. The ques-
ton as to whether land is devoid
of timber as within the intent and
meaning of the timber culture laws
should not be determined by the
number of trees grown thereon, but
rather by ascertaining whether ma
ture has favored what in time will
become an adequate supply for the
wants of the people likely to reside
on that tract, and the circumstan-
ces surrounding each case of this
character should b. carefully scru-
tinized. | am of the opinion that
such tract of land as this was
properly subject to entry under the
timber culture laws, and your ac-
ton holding the entry for cancella-
ton is therefore reversed.

A Name in the Sand.

Alone walked the ocean strand,
A pcarly shell was in my hand:
stopped, and wrote upon the sand
Ny name. the year and day.
As onward from the spot passed
One lingering look behind cast
A wave came rolling high and fast
And washed my lines away.
And so methought twill quickly be
With every mark on earth from me.
a wave of dark Oblivion's sea
Will sweep across the place
Where have trod the sandy snOre
OF time, and be to me no more;
OF me, my day, and name bore,
To leav, no track or trace.
And yet with Him who counts the sands.
And holds the water in his hands,
| know a lasting record stands
Inscribed against my name,
of all this mortal part has wrought.
OF all this thinking soul has thought.
And from these flecting moments caught,
For glory or for shame.
