sold by the railway companies to set
liars. bat have not vet been patented,
all rest 10 the United States. The de-
eis,oa has been construed to mean that
s,ttlers Who have 20 purchased have no
valid title 10 their lands, and NAV be
dsufiyed OF them nj any time. This Is
not the case. The title that tbe Gov
eminent holds t. the lands by this de-
cision IL that the lands are 10 be held to
secure the oost OF survey, and may be
acquired al any time by settlers hy pay
ing for the survey of their lands. The
railroad companies will then have to
make good the cost to them. The court
suggested that bill might be passed by
Congress FORGETTING lands not patented
within time stated alter the passage
Of the act. Payson Is going to intro
duoe bill in the House which was of
fsred BY him last year aud passed, but
failed 10 the Senate through amend
ments. This provides for tho forfeiture
Of all lands upon which the cost OF sur
vsy has not been paid within sixty days
after the holders have received notice.
