lieh-hanJed outrage. The Treatment
received by the settlers in East

wary Of RAILROAD promises. We do not
believe that single settlement will be
made on the terms offered above but
what Will rob The settler OF years OF
hard earnings. The railroad is to place

not to charge for improvements. Oh
no Let everybody get right in ant

IL SEssIoN.-The board of equalization
has been in session al this week. But few
changes have been made in assessments diff
ferent from the roll made ont by the assessor.
The amounts have been raised in few cases,
very few applications have been made for
reduction, and in one OF these eases by a
rigid cross examination of the applicant, it
was ascertained that he owned considerable
more property than the assessor had found,
He is the only dissatisfied applicant we have
heard Of.

The LAND LAWS.

They Stand Exactly as Before the Meet.
ing Of the Last Congress.
Reliable advices from Washington
state, most posti. ely, that the timber
culture, desert land, presumption and
homestead laws were neither repeale d
nor amended by the last Congress. A
bill repeating the timber culture,
desert land, and pre- emption laws, and
amending the homestead law, passed
the House OF Representatives, and as
sent to the Senate, where it was re-
ferred to the Committee on Public
Lands. That was the last heard of the
bill. At the next session of Congress
it will probably be altered and passed
in some form. ,etfb
1t therefore, behooves all who would
enter land, to hasten to do so at once.
as they may not have an opportunity
to do so later.
