Northern Pacific'S Land Grant,

l. The grant is non forfeitable in
terms, Congress only having re-
served the right to do acts necessary
10 insure early completion of the
road. Forfeiture after completion
would not be an act of that sort.
2. If right to forfeit existed, it
would be waived by inspecting and
accepting 1000 miles, built after
prescribed time expired, with knowl-
edge that such acceptance gave the
company the right to issue bonds
thereon which are lien ON said rail-
road and land grant attaching there
to; and purchaser of said bonds had
the right to rely upon such accept
ance as giving authority for such is.
sues and valid lien upon the secur-
ity therefor.
3. A further waiver Of right to
forfeit is found in the fact that the
Government has taken 81 so per
acre from settlers within said land
grant limits. when, if no railroad
land grant covered the same, only
81 % per acre would be taken.
4. If regardless of the above, and
other considerations of equal force,
Congress attempts to interfere with
the vested rights SO acquired by the
Northern Pacific bondholders and
preferred stockholders, the courts
will protect those rights. Wall

Revolving Land Grants.
Willamette Farmer.

Congress has Lcon making ducks
and brakes of the public Inheritance
for twenty years back, and now, on
the eve of Preside ntial campaign
both political parties are seized with
spasm of land reform, and we hear
much said about rcvokins all grants
not earned punctually on time, as
provided in the granting acts. The
whole country will respond to the
motion to refuse the Texas Pacific
grant to the Southern Pacific. also 20
forfeit all giants where Spectators
tr fie with the interests Of the people.
The Astoria land grant should be
revoked and also the grant on the
Columbia from Portland to WalIula.
Concerning the Northern Pacific
grams generally, that company has
lad on an average over u mile and u
quarter If rails day for three years
"ack. making 300 miles of railroad
that IT has built in that time. To
take away the lands earned since
1919. the date fixed for completion
of the road, would seem unfair to
those who loaned the money to baild
the road on the strength of the land
grant a. security. 1t is positively
certain that Oregon would DC with
out connection with the East to-day
If there had not been this land grant
to give financial credit to the bonds
of the company. The road, as it
stands, is not such security and
would not be built On its own value.
AS to the Cascade branch grant,
without it there will be no road con-
structed over the mountains to Ia
coma direct, as the people East have
set their hearts on. To repeal that
grant will Indefinitely postpone such
connection. If the good to he real
ized justiies the grant of land, then
the grant should exist for that pnr-
pose. We expect to see all land
grants revoked except. that one
across the Cascades to Tacoma.

Ayers Sarsaparilla.

Since then Mr.. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SARsAPARILLA in many similar
cases, and he has never yet heard of its fail
ure to effect radical cure.
Some years ago one of Mr.. LELAND's farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor-
rible itching of the skin, with burning and
darting pains through the lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
discharging great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was of any
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELAND's direc-
ton, was supplied with AYERS SARsAPA-
RILLA, which allayed the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use.
Mr.. LELAND has personally used
