ONE of the most surprising decision

One of the most surprising decisions
reached so far by any of the commit

been determined to recommend the
extension Of the steam-shovel pat.

used in Buffalo in the transhipment Of
grain from vessels into the boats Of the
Erie Canal. The charge is Is cents .
thousand bushels. The shovels are
controlled by powerful combination
which has made immense profits out oi
them. All that they have so made has
been taken from the price realized by
the Western farmers for their crops.
The owners Of the patents arc entitled
to this, for it was SO nominated i'll the

forbids its continuancea moment longer
than the original life of the patent.
III. Sc days OF short crops and short
prices are times for taking taxes off,
not keeping them on; hut there are
some men in Congress whose only idea
OF public duty seems To lie to maintain
every tax that was ever imposed, and
To do this for the benefit Of some spe'
cinl private interest. Certain it is thai

LAND or THE LAND.GRABDERS.

The land legislation OF Congress pro.
crosses rapidly. and, SO far, in entire
accord with the sentiment OF tho
masses OF the people. A bill has
passed the lower house FORGETTING grants
OF over 100000 acres in Mississippi
and Alabama. The Tcxa. Pacific
grant has met similar fate, and To-
100000 acres more are on their way
back to the public domain. Tho Com
mittee on Public Lands recommend tho
forfeiture Of 100000 acres granted
TO the Oregon Central. and Of {, 900, 900
acres claimed by two corporations in
California. The fate Of these bills in
the Senate is, Of course, cenjeetnral, ns
q strong lobby is said to 10 working
might aud main 10 defeat them. Still,
it is hardly probable that the will IT
the people will lie ignored.
There is an earnest desire In many
quarters to limit future sales of public
land to actual settlers. This desire is
finding expression in appeals to Con-
gress 10 legislate boldly in this tlir,c.
ton. The recent accumulation OF mill
ions Of acres by foreign syndicatcs and
wealthy noblemen creates alarm among
the citizens Of the country who see
futnrs generations thus despoiled Of
their just heritage.
TO show that this alarm is not with
out cause, wc here append part al list
OF alien purchasers and the amount u
their holdings:

What are the facts in the case. The

he silver in tho Treasury belonging to

aud bullion, is only about s2.3a per
capita, AMI yet the goldbugs demand .

Fire Company, in the Theater last
night, although we'll attended, was
no index Of the receipts, as Messrs.
Lennon e. Coffin sold over 60 tickets
yesterday, not half of which were
represented on the floor. This fact
did not detract from the enjoyment
of those in attendance, however, and
dancing was kept up until a late hour,
to the excellent music supplied by the

will be about $50. As 5000 will be
still due on the hose after that is paid

THE PROBABLE COURSE OF THE FIRE
Cannot be guessed ut now, beyond
this, that it is evident that it will not
20 down until it shall have exhausted
all the fuel in this region, as the hay
and brush are so dry that they can
almost be kindled by the heat of the
sun.
II the wind should veer few points
to the south, it would infallibly cross
the track, burn several miles of ties
and spread desolation over the Little
Wood River and Silver Creek Valleys
In these valleys the hay crop is being
harvested, and tons upon tons of hay
is already in the stack, in cocks, ii
winrows, and IN swathes, and nothing
could stop fire if it once got ii
them.
To escape suffocation, many Sho
shonites are compelled to drop to thu

Right.

Right.
Last night the news was brought
to town that the embankment Of the
Water Company's reservoir, at the
mouth of Indian Creek, had been
broken through, and that torrent of
water. was escaping. Early this
morning E. a. White, manager of the
company, rode up there on horseback
to look into the matter. He found
that a fine. mesh screen had been in
serted in the hume at the point where
it goes into the embankment, and thai
moss and other stuff had lodged
against the screen, causing the water
to overflow. BY removing the debris
things were r,ghted at once, and thu
water receded to it's confines.

The prisoners were transferred to
the new Jail to-day. There were six
of them, all of whom walked. Pierson,
who is condemned to be hung to-mor-
row, was of the number. He walked
with the others, but seemed to be
rather weak.
He was not officially informed of the
refusal OF the Governor to commute
his sentence until o'clock last night
three hours after the TINES had
announced the Governors decision.
He showed no signs of emotion at the
announcement, and said that he had
been in Jail as long as he could stand
it. If he could not get new trial he
wanted the sentence executed right
away.
When spoken to, Picrson invariably
coughs, as if from consumption, be-
fore answering. and then affects to
talk in a voice choked with emotion.

somewhat detected, to say the least.

The Democratic County Central Com
mittee has very properly decided to call
primaries in the old fashioned way, but
it has left the date of the calling unde'
termined yet. Both the candidates and
the voters are in favor of short local
campaign, and on all grounds it is desir'
able that the contest should be COM
pressed into the smallest space of time
compatible with giving the people an
opportunity OF acquainting themselves
with the character of the several aspir-
ants for their suffrages. 1t should be
borne in mind that, under the old Con-
stitution, the local elections took place
early in September while now they do
not come off until the 4th of November.
Under the circumstances, the middle Of
September is quite early enough to hold
the primaries.

date have had TO pay much larger

dollars--ior what is certainly dirt cheap
at s25. 600 This purchase swells the
assessment rate just now, but II will
pay Handsomely In the end. What Los
Angeles needs very badly at present Is
some intelligent legislation which, under
certain safeguards, will enable her u
borrow money for necessary and inevi'

now no banker would advance a dollar
