Bitten by o Cobra.

Among many instances of snaKe-bite
poisoning / have seen was strong
young Brahmin of twenty, well-known
to me, who had been bitten during the
night while watching his maize crop,
Ere l knew OF it they had brought him
into my compound in front of the
bungalow AS yet he walked quite
steadily, only leaning slightly on the
arm of another man. There was that
peculiar drowsy look in his eyes, how
ever, as from a strong narcotic, which
indicated his having been bitten some
time, and left but little room Tor hope
now. He could still clearly tell Inc
particulars. He had been bitten, he
said, on putting his foot to the ground,
while moving off his charpoy in the
dark, but, thinking the bite was that of
a non-poisonous snake, had given no
more heed to the matter, had gone to
sleep again, till he was awoke by his
friends coming in search of him. With
some difficulty l was able to find the
bite--very faint, no larger than the
prick of pin, but still the unmistakable
double mark of the poison-fangs. He
felt the poison, he said, gradually as
cending the limb, and pointed to part
Just above the knee, where he felt il

but gradually his, limbs seemed to be
losing their power of voluntary mo.
ton, and his head was beginning te
droop from the overpowering drowsi'
ness that was surely gathering ovel
him. At intervals he pointed out the
poison line steadily rising higher. and
was still able to answer quest ons clear
ly on being reused. At length it seemed
to be of no use torturing him further
by keeping him moving about, and ht
Vas allowed to remain at rest, Shortly
after this, while being supported in .
sitting posture, all at once, withou
any premonitory sign, he gave one OF

an hour after he had himself walked

The effort now being made in congress

road and this company has not complied
with the terms of the grant. When it
is remembered that this grant is not
the donation of the government, but
that 1T Games direct from the people, the
injustice of the enactment which turns
it over to the railroad company becomes
more apparant. The grant gives to the
railroad company each alternate section
within strip one hundred miles wide
aud three hundred end fifty miles long.
The sections not ceded to the railroad
company are open for settlement under
the homestead and pre.emption law. A
large proportion of them are taken by
pre.emptors. who pay $3.50 per acre. just
double the price of government land
outside the limits of the grant. By this
process the settler in effect buys
two quarter sections and gives one
to the railroad company. So the act is
not one of remarkable generosit, upon
the part of the government, which com.
pels individuals to contribute their capi.
tai to the purchase of real estate for q
corporation which is as soulless as any
of its species.
Though it may not so appear upon the
surface, every county within the limits
of the Northern Pacific grant is taxed
$1.25 per aero to aid and sustain that
company and this taxation would be the
equivalent OF an enormous bonded debt
were it not required Of them to pay
the cash down before they can take
possession of their lands. Take. for ex.
ample, the county Of Stutsman, which
contains sixty-four townships, or 1890
sections. One.half Of tins is sold by the
government to the people-l,l50 sections
at $1,000 section-an aggregate Of
1920, 900 more than would be charged for
the same area outside the railroad grant.
This sum represents the tribute which
Stutsman county pays to the railroad
company, and compared to it the much
advertised bonded railroad debt OF
Yankton county does not cut much of Q
figure. This view Of the case does not
make it appear that the government haa

The Raymond and Railroad.

It is pleasant fact to know that the
Raymond Hotel at Pasadena will be
built notwithstanding the unfortunate
delays that have taken place. A part Of
the lumber was, last winter, hauled to
the site Of the building and the balance
left in charge of the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company. Arrangements have
been made for hauling the balance Of
the lumber to the hotel site, and with
the commencing Of the grading of the
Los Angeles and San Gabriel Valley
Railroad, which is to be begun in half
dozen places at once, the work on the
hotel will be resumed. There will be
some modification of the original plans,
but great and beautiful hotel will arise
on the spot contemplated, and 0 railroad
station will be established at that place
for the guests of the hotol and for South
Pasadena.
The bridge across the Arroyo Seco at
Oak Grove will be from one high bluff to
another. aud be out of the reach Of high
water. The company own twenty lots
of land near the gas works ON Also
street. which will give them ample room
for storing fuel and repairing aud storing
cars. The bridge in the city has not
been located yet, but will be in short
time. This location win not hinder the
grading of the road in the San Gabriel
valley, which will go forward with q
rush. With the opening of the New
Year it is expected that the road will be
open to Pasadena, If not further. The
grading will be very light. At the hotel
there win be cut of some depth, but it
is one that can DO easily made, where
the cutting and filling can be equalized.
A large part Of the line is on natural
grade, that will require but little work
and will soon be completed.
