Washington Special: Mai. Strait OF Min
nesota, who is n member OF the house com
mittee on public Lands, recently said what
he thought OF the argument between the
house and the senate on the bill to forfeit
the entire land grant OF the Northern Pa
cifc railroad west OF Biamarck. Maj.
Strait replied:
The situation is iust this: Thesenate has
passed bill which declares that the lands
granted to this corporation which have
never been earned shall revert to the United
States. The upper house recognizes the
right Of the company to the lands which III
has earned, but which it has earned alter
the date fixed upon for the expiration of
its charter. The house committee took up
the senate bill, struck out all after the en-
acting clause and inserted it's own bill,
which proposes to forieitevery acre OF land
granted TO the railroad which lies west Of
Bismarck. Oak. IN other words the house
committee says in effect that because the
read met with reverses and failed to carry
out the terms of its charter within the pre-
scribed time (aithough it has subsequently
done so) therefore the land must revert to
the United States. The senate will never
agree to this, but / think the house will
eventually conclude to pass the bill as it
