The court in giving its decision sats:
'srhe question is, whether the location Of

hut not marked in the surface for years,
and not developed, will be allowed to
cover claim made by others on ground
different from that thus indicated, and
developed by years Of labor and largo ex-

complaining parties, because subsequent
explorations by the first claimants dis
close the fact that their vein runs in q
different direction than they supposed,

PUNvsHMENT OF
INDIANS.

from the secretary of the interior and tho
commissioner of the land office, trans.
mitting draft Of a bill intended to
,mend the act of March 3, 1885, relating
to trial and punishment Of Indians for.
murder, arson, rape, larceny aud other
rimes. The commissioner says he does
not concur with those who believe ehal
Indians should not be punished for crime
the same as white men, and says he be-
levcs the law step in the right direct
ion, but the expense attending arrest,
conviction and punishment of the Indiana,
who bear no portion Of the public bur
dens, should be betrayed by the general
government, not by the people Of the ter.
ritories. He says the Indians are not at
present tried for offences committed
against each other, because the territories
refuse to bear the expense.

HIGH fREI0HT9.

A farmer makes to the w. w. Jour
nal some suggestions which are pertinent
on the subject of hi I'll ircishts, as follows:
"In communication to the Union, M.
McManamon refers to the high treights
of the early days and the great reductions
that have taken place since that time.
No one will take issue with him on that
rropositi n. A similar state Of facts can
be presented in reference to Illinois or
any western state. A transportation
line can be operated nearly as cheaply
for 100, 600 as for 10000 people. Rates
that do not decrease as population in
| crease are no. an aid to the development
of the country Present transportation
rates offer no inducement for either cap
ital or population to come to eastern
Washington. Mr.. McManamon knows
| that there is not farmer in this county
who is making reasonable interest on the
money invested in lands, stock and mach
inery. He must know, besides, that the
34,000,000 gross earnings Of the .. Il
& n. last year is tco great per capita
tax for $4,000 people (the number ser
we'd by that corporation) to bear. 1t is
not question with the states Of the Mis-
siseip',i valley, whether the rates are low
er than they were formerly. Are th'
rates reasonable, furnishing reasonable
interest transportation companies on hon
est investment, and at the same tim,
furnishing reasonable interest 20 the in
vestments of producers and business mer
tributary to such transportation line
These are the only questions to be con
| sidercd in this matter, and, while VI

WASHINGTON, Jan. l2.-Land Com.
missioner Sparks to-day made an impor-
rant decision affecting the claims OF the
North,rn Pacific railway company to !
grant of land from point on the Colum-
bia river near Portland, Oregon, and Ia,
coma on Puget sound in Washington
Territory. The commissioner says the
road between these points was authorized
to be constructed in 1869, without land
grants. The original act Of 1864 pro-
yided for a main line across the Cascade
mountains to Puget sound, and branch
from point not more than three hum
dred miles east Of the western terminus,
passing down the Columbia liver to .
point at Or near Portland, Oregon, but
made no provision fora road or grant be-
tween Portland and Puget sound.
This takes from the company $780,
600 acres of land.
The company will contest this, and
they issue the following:
| PRESIDENT S OFFICE,
New YORK, Jan. II.
To Bondh1lders and Stockholders or
the Northern Pacific Railroad company:
1t is publicly stated that Commissioner
Sparks of the general land oifce has rem
dered decision to the effect that this
company has no grant of land for its road
between the Columbia river aud Puget
sound. There is no foundation in law
nor reason for such decision. Appeal
will at once be taken to the secretary OF
he interior, aud if necessary they viii
resort to the court to maintain It's right.
Neitheryou ror purchasers Of the lands
need entertain the slightest spprehen ensiou
as to the result.

Very pretty decorations can be made
for Christmas by using heads of wheat
and oa'1, They can be mixed with ever
greeng with good effect. Dried grasses
can be made useful in working ont some
of the smaller designs. Mountain ash
and bittersweet berries are charming
when nSed in evergreen wreathing. If
they are not TO be obtained, the seed
clusters of the Sumach make good sub
stitutes. II You have Autumn leaves in
considerable quantities, they will work
IN charmingly with whatever they may
be used as the foundation of your decora-
tive work. To use nothing but ever
greens gives the place you use them in a
somewhat sOmber look, and touches of
bright color are needed to produce amore
cheerful tone and one more fitting to the
season. If clusters of leaves or berries
are placed wherever festoons of ever
grees are fastened against the walls the
general effect will be vastly more pleasing
than 10 would be if they we're not used.
For tho altar nothing is prettier, es-
pecially by lamplight, than crystalized
glasses used literally against back

gems, and suggest natural frostwork.

Threslling Corn
Farm. Fleld.aad stoeIsman

new mode of Smelling corn by pass
ing stalks and all through an ordinary
tbreshing machine is said to work more
satisfactorily. The shelled corn is dc
livered clean as is other grains, the stalks
are broken and shredded, to the amount
of ten acres per day, and where the crop
is good average the corn may be shelled
at cost of fourteen cents per bushel.
While this means of Smelling corn will
not be available in the great corn grow
ING regions of the west whore the stalks
ara left standing and the corn husked
on the hill, the plan seems to offer ad-
vantage where the corn is cut and shock
ed. tho fodder forming a commodity
second in value only to the grain, and
especially so in the fact that the STALKS
are prepared in NEST perfect manner
for feeding. Any person who has husked
corn on the hill and from the shock
knows that double the number of bushel,
can be husked from the hill, per day, than
from the shock, and the fodder run
through the thresher is in excellent shape
TO handle if the statement as to prepare
ton may be relied ON.
