out the necessary auxiliary work that
in all cost 1926, 600. 900 during the two
years of Wizards administration.
That all this work was necessary and
that it must needs be done very quick
lv the history of the past year abund-
antly proves. In his statement Mr..
Willard says: ''Looking at the wrecks
of railway property with which the
county is strewn, and at the reign Of
terror which has supervened in tho
stock of money markets since my re-
tirement, what, ask, would have
been the condition of your property
TODAY if the crisis had found you with
an unfinished line and an empty treas
ury!" Whatever may be the present
opinion as to Mr.. Villiard's work, of
his policy, of his ability. or whatever
doubt there may be as to whether he
is as we'll fitted to operate road as to
build one. the work of 1882 -S3 in
constructing the Northern Pacific rail-
way will come to be regarded us one
of the greatest financiering feats ever
accomplished, and it cannot be denied
that the great mind Of Henry Willard
directed it all.

Why He Went Out.

Pioneer Press: Although Mart Ma
glnnis is one of the royal family of
good fellows. it is true that Montana
would get on better politically if her
delegate was republican. A story
tells why. Last March joint caucus
of republican senators and congress-
men was held to patch up scheme of
territorial appointments. Mart Ma
ginnis was kept out because he was
democrat. There were few changes
to make, but California member had
young military officer on his hands
who wanted land office berth. The
land Offices all over the Pacific coast
were in no need of army officers, and
Delegate Raymond could not think of
anything eligible in Dakota. Finally
the caucus pOunced OH the Miles City.
Montana. Office. Secretary Teller was
present and said that would not do;
the papers were made out for the re-
appointment at Miles City of one of
the best officials in the department..
The caucus then went pe!l nell for
Bismarck. and in Eve minutes would
have Ousted John Rea. Teller again
interfered and headed them off. BY
this time everybody was desperate.
Every delegation was fighting to pro-
tect its own places. The result was
they all joined to sieze the only unpro-
tected place, the Miles City Office.
There was no one to defend the In
cumbent, and the California officer
was thrown into the place with mob
desperation. [The ousted officer was

pointee one Washington T. Barry

New Forms of Northern Pacific Deeds

New Forms of Northern Pacific Deeds.
Portland Oreg0nian: 1t is a we'll
known fact that there has been a
great deal of dissatisfaction among
the people of Washington territory
with the forms of contracts and deeds
heretofore used by the Northern Pa
cific railroad in the sale of their lands.
1t seems, however, that the manage
ment Of that company is really dispos-
ed to be liberal and deal fairly with
settlers. In consequence of the rep
reservations of the officers of the
company, the board of directors of the
Northern Pacific passed some time
ago formal resolution, directing the
land department to sell the ag~
ricultural and grazing lands Of the
company without reservation. except
ing only such lands as are adjacent to
the main line or branches. in which
cases right OF way reservation and
fencing requirement are to be inserted
in the deeds. It is learned upon in
quiry that new forms of deeds and
contracts are now being prepared free
from all Objectionable reservations,
which new forms of deeds will be used
hereafter for lands sold under existing
contracts and for future sales.

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.
Portland Likely to Capture the Practical
Terminus.

PHILADELPHIA, May SAN intelligent
New York special to the Press says that
President Harris and several directors urge
the building OF the Cascade branch from
Ainsworth to Tacoma, Seattle or some other
point on Puget Sound within five months,
declaring the Northern Pacific must have .
complete road Of its own, and that Portland
ID not seaport, and the Columbia bar very
formidable obstacle To commerce. The other
directors oppose on account Of the enormous
expense Of the branch, and believe the Co.
lumbia bar can be removed. Willard has
looked very carefully into the subject, and
stated the chief objections to any point on
Puget Sound ~ . terminus was the preva.
lence of heavy fogs six months Of the twelve,
which interferes with navigation. Under
existing circumstances 1t 10 doubtful II the
Cascade branch will be built for great
while. The entire probability 10 that the
Northern Pacific will lease the Oregon Navi-
CATION, and thus secure its part OF the road
a. their own. The Treasursrship Of the Ore
gon improvement Company will be given no
doubt TO Prashor Smith, brother Of Elijah
Smith, the president. Tho story that VIII

lousy absurd. The work on the Oregon IL
California road. which the Oregon & Trans.
continental was to complete, has been stop
ped within twenty eight miles Of the Cali
fornia State line. The Central Pacific has
also stopped ninety miles on the other side,
and there 10 no prospect Of . resumption Of
work at any definite time.

that membership 10 the Legislature being
largely honorary in its character, the COM
pensation should be only nominal. The
conditions are not the same, and therefore

social and political status it gives, and 10
generally aspired TO and obtained by men Of

alive measures to urge. Our best men are
young, Engaged In active business, and are
not generally circumstauced that they can
AFFORD to leave their business and devote
their time and abilities to law making unless
there Is approximately adequate compensa-
tion. The present rstos Gro barely sufficient

the increase of pay would have a tendency
to induce men who are now reluctant to
serve as legislators, and that the average Of
legislative ability might be improved thereby.
