A STRAIGHT LINE,

ne order was erroneous in tbot tho
petitioners, at whose instance the chance
was MADE, not being authorized to renresent
tne railroad, was made without sufficient
parties on record to justify the action Of the
commissioners. The fact thar the
alleged settlers bought from the
railroad company that which did
not belong to the railroad company. but was
the property of the government. WonId not
IurlllSh any substantial equity which the
commissioner of the land office should have
recognized. 1t was not shown that the
oLlcers OF the land Office. authorized to
represent the government, did anv act or
neglected any duty by which settlers were
mlSled: a recognition of the doctrine that
purchase from one who had no title vonId
establish an equity against the real owner
would De subservient of all principle.
thlnk therefore the position of the appellant
IS untenable. Secretary Lamars order
based upon the decision is as follows:
upon consideration the errors assigned as
ground for an appeal are overruled and the
order OF Commissioner Sparks of the nth
day OF April, 1885, is affirmed. On appli-
cation OF the proper party the subject of re-
adjusting the limit according to the prin-
clpies above indicated might with propriety
be considered"

Texas Pool R.,;f,aa

GALVESTON, Aug. 13.-The directors of
the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe railway have
ratified the pooling agreement with other
Texas lines entered into yesterday by Presi-
dent SeaIy. 1t is reliably stated here that
the terms of the pool is five years. The
sixty days Withdrawing clause was elimi-
mated from the agreement with an under
standing that all differences are to be arbi.
trated by outside railroads.

Rock Island Extension.
Special to the Globe.

FARGO, Aug. 13.-W. G. Bailey. en-
gineel for construction of the James River
Valley railroad, has come from st. Paul
and commenced active operations. He
says the road is to be completed from
jamestown to LaMoure by Nov. 1. 1t is
generally supposed that this is in the in
terest of the Rock Island system. LaMoure
is the terminus of the Fargo q South
Westerns branch, and jamestown is the
terminus of the jamestown Il Northern
branch of the Northern Pacific road. and
by building line between LaMoure and
jamestown connection would be had by the
Rock Island with the Northern Pacific in
two places. Besides this, the building of
this line will give the Rock Island direct
communication between Watertown and
jamestown, and by further extension the
Rock Island would have the best route
between Bismarck and the East, and would
open up the best agricultural district in
Dakota. The Rock Island could then run
trains to Bismarck without touching at St.
Paul or Minneapolis. This would be over
its own line and the Burlington, Cedar
Rapids & Northern to WATERFOWL, Oak,
and from thence over its own line, or the
Minneapolis & st. Louis, whichever of the
two is building the new extension.

Too Many Lines

There is no question that the resources of
the territory west and north of st. Paul
are undergoing rapid development. but il
is scarcely possible that the trade from this
section Is growing at a rate to justify the
opening of three new main lines of railroads
from st. Paul to Chicago, the Wisconsin
Central, the Chicago, Burlington 81 Quincy
and Illinois Central. The roads now run
ming between these two points are nu-
merous enough, which is plainly evident
from their now not being employed to their
full capacity. 1t is highly probable, as has
before been stated i'll the GLOBE, that the
motive prompting the Burlington to extend
to st. Paul is to secure the Red River val
ley and Winnipeg trade by either control
ling or by a close alliance with the Mani
tOba road. But the facilities at present are
quite sufficient for the demands of all the
traffic coming to st. Paul and MINNEAPOLIS.
and the appearance of new competitors
will be quite certain to have the usual result
of producing traffic fight, in which no
road will be gamer. Statements are now
being made that the Burlington has not Sc
cured control Of the Manitoba road. as it
has only secured rs, 900 shares of the latter
company's stock, instead of 90, 600 shares
as has been stated.
