with the RATA or lasso are also amusing.
The skill of these nomads with raw.
hide rope is wonderful. At O distance
OF forty feet an expert is unerripg in
getting his rope over the neck OF any
animal, and many of them will reach
sixty feet. At half that distance the rope
will single out any leg of steer running

the horse comes into play. With tho

little beast plants his tore legs and awaits

forelegs as pivot and retreating OF

rope taut."

Central Pacific Finances.

San Francisco, June 25-The San
Francisco Bulletin publishes the follow
ing this evening: sIt is mi-oficlally
announced that the Central Pacific rail-
road company will postpone for time
the payment of the salaries due EN-
ployes this month, in order to accumu-
late funds to meet more pressing de-
mands in the nature O; current expenses.
Ihe present cramped condition OF the
company arises from the falling off in
traffic, and in consequence, decrease of
profits. caused by disasters, especially
on the Southern Pacific and it's
branches"
Timothy Hopkins, treasurer, was the
only prominent official at present in the
city. He declined to make any state
ment. General Manager Towne, visiting
Montery, was telegraphed on the subject
and replied: "There ls but little foun.
dation in fact for the statement that
the company will postpone the
payments Of the salaries of employees.
1t is possible, however, that the pay.car
may not be sent out over the entire sys-
TEN until after the LIST proximo. The
earnings are holding up remarkably
we'll, and the operating expenses com.
pare favorably with those Of last year"
Charles Crocker, president of the
Southern Pacific, and second vice. .presi-
dent of the Central Pacific, at present
attending the Cotton trial al Santa Rosa,
was interviewed. He said: "The Bulle.
TINS statement is quite true" He had
asked the employees for thirty days cred
1t, and said: "I've heard no grnmbling,
This is the first time such o deferment
has occurred. We have got some pres
sing demands to meet, and money is so
tight 1t is harder than drawing teeth to
get any. We can't get more than twen-
ty.five cents on Southern Pacific bonds.
1 am trying hard to borrow some money,
and think I shall be able to get it, but
all the money bags in the country are
just now drawn very tight"
Mr.: Crocker. in a telegram to the
associated press, says: "The report of
the Bulletin is substantially true, al
though we have not yet fully determined
in the matter. Should the money mar
ket ease up we will pay as usual"

The new land bill passed by the na-
tional house of representatives is inter-
esting to the people of the west because
1t involves radical departure from past
customs in the procurement of govern.
ment land. The provisions of the bill
are these:
All persons entitled to pre.empt any
land under existing laws, who before the
law have in good faith filed their claims.
or, who, having the legal right to pre-.
empt, have located on any ii the unaur.
veyed public lands with the intention of
entering the same when surveyed, shall
have the right to complete their entries
and receive patent as though the re.
peal had not passed. 1t also provides
that the repeal of the timber culture law
shall not prejudice the rights of those
who have IN good faith made entries un.
der the law and complied with the re.
and fourth sections of the bill provide
for amendments TO the homestead law.
The first amendment applies to casee
where person has entered upon land in
good faith, intending to homestead and
perfect his title thereto, but
Is prevented from doing 90 by
a grant previously made by the
government, or by the shifting of the
channel or bed of any river whereby bis
lands may be lost, or from any cause over
which he has no control, without fault on
bis part, he may by making satisfactory
proof of the fact, enter another home
stead upon any OF the public lands of
the United States subject to homestead.
The third section provides that every
homesteader shall make final proof by
two credible witnesses that he has resid-
ed upon, cultivated and permanently i'm.
proved his or her homestead for four
consecutive years next succeeding such
entry. The proof is to be made in du-
plicate, and one set is required to be filed
in the local land office and one in the
general land Office for one year, and if no
contest is filed or notice given charging
and specifying fraud in the entry or
proof before the expiration # that time,
then the patent shall issue.
This gives time between the filing
OF the proof and the issuing of the
patent to detect fraud, if any, on the
part Of applicant. The law az it nov
stands only requires notice to be pub.
lished IN q newspaper of intention to
make this proof. Section four of the
substitute amends section 2,3Ol to re.
quire thirty calendar months to expire
after the party files his pre- emptiou
claim before he is extitled to his patent
1t also requires the proof of settlemen,
and cultivation to be filed at least si1
months This amendment, it is believed
will tend largely to prevent fraud,
SO far as Dakota Is concerned the bill
it it becomes alaw, will have little effect
because, compared with the whole, the,
is very little government land left. Bu
had such q law gone into effect few
years ago its results would have been O

great benefit to our territory. The pre-
emption law was bid for speculative
fraud which has filled our courts with
proftless litigation. 1t afforded the out
side public an opportunity to secure
farms at low prices, not to occupy and
till and develop. but to hold in an unde.
veloped state for future profit. So long
as this land is to lie idle it might better
be in the possession Of the government
than in the possession of individuals
who will not use it. The timber culture
act is all right in its intents, but those
lntents are not carried out for various
reasons not necessary to mention, be-
cause they are we'll known.

The recent sudden flop of the Volga

to rabid Ordwayism makes Interesting
reading of it's "baok files" Here is an
extract from its editorial columns:
While the members of the legislature
who voted in favor of the Capital move.
ment have come in for their share of
public censure the lions share of the
blame has rested with our imported
governor, N. G. Ordway. Since the
the arrival of this fellow in Dakota with
his commission to rule US governor over
this territory, he has devoted his time
and talent to Matching schemes for en-
riching himself at the public expense
and it IS not strange he is heartily hated
by the inhabitants of the territory.
After expressing himself in this man.
ner regarding an individual it would
seem as though it would take something
more potent than natural cause" to
induce an editor to turn around and
argue against his own argument.
