A NEW PLAN
To Enforce the Forfeiture of Un-
earned Land Grants.

New YORK, October 2l,-A Washington
special to the Evening Post says: The In
terror Department has in contemplation
plan by which the efforts to forfeit un-
earned land grants which were unsuccess
full in Congress may be successful through
departmental action. The law officers of
the land office have the subject now under
consideration and ii the plan shall meet
the approval of the Secretary OF the Interior
it will be put into operation. Some time
ago the Interior Department decided that
no land grant road should be considered to
nave earned its grants until 1t had filed
perfect plan of its entire road and OF the
granted land claimed. Proceeding from
this decision as basis it is suggested that
a suit may be instituted against the North
ern Pacific road, in which the government
will maintain that 1t is not entitled to any
land which it claims, for instance in the
grant from Duluth to Puget Sound, because
these lands were not earned and per-
feeted plan for that part of the route was
not fled within the time prescribed. This
theory proceed of course upon the assump-
tion that the road could not earn any OF the
land If it did not earn the whole grant, and
on this theory the Secretary of the Interior
will doubtless be asked to declare the lands
forfeited and open to settlement.

ARIZONA.
4 Bright Outlook For the Future
cf the Territory.

WASHINGTON, october 2l.-Hon. G. Meyer
Zulick. Governor of Arizona, in his annual
report to the Secretary of the Interior, refers
briefly TO the termination of the Apache
troubles in that Territory and says, with the
removal of these renegades he sees the
dawn of a new day. Her rapid develop
ment will now go on without check or draw
back. The Governor, referring to the San
Carlos Indian reservation, says: 'lt con-
tains 2, ,52s 900 acres of land, well watered
and well timbered, most OF which is as good
as any agricultural land in this Territory
Upon this tract are gathered together about
$500 Indians; so that each Indian, male and
female, young and old, holds over 200 acres
of land. 1t would be well for Congress to
PARCEL OUT THE LAND,
Giving to each head of a family 6l0 acres
or, If this is deemed premature, then Con-
gress should take measures to reduce the
reservation to at least half its present linn
its. The Governor recommends that the
lands of the Atlantic and Pacific Company
be surveyed at the earliest possible mo-
ment, in order that they may be listed for
county and territorial taxation. On the
subject of desert lands and irrigation the
Governor says: Arizona contains nearly
Ii40lO square miles, or 1900 600 acres OF
land. About IS, 900, GOO acres are utilized for
STOCK raising, anu upon III BrdZe nehriy
1000, 600 head of cattle and more than a
million sheep, besides other domestic ami
mails.
THE NUTRITIOUS GRASSES
Grow everywhere, and could the balance of
land adapted to grazing be utilized for that
purpose this would become the gre attest
stock raising country in the United States.
The want OF water is the only drawback to
its occupation and development For the
most part thes lands lie so that water reser-
yoirs can be coustru ted SO as to preserve
water from the rains of summer and the
melting SHOWS of winter for the use of the
herds OF cattle and other stock. OF the re-
naming Sc, 100000 of acres, which are min
eral and agricultural, two thirds are arabic
could they be irrigated OF these 100000
acres can be reclaimed by judicious appro'
priatiOns and distribution of
THE PRESENT WATER SUPPLY,
The Governor requests that Congress be
asked to demonstrate by scientific survey
and a practical test the feasibility of ar
tesian wells for giving the needed supply
of water, and adds: "Around Denver y
well irrigates from forty to fifty acres. II
half as good results could be obtained in
Arizona, we could produce wine, raisins,
fruits, nut and olives enough to support in
afiluence population of 1900, 900 people"
The Governor, in conclusion, predicts that
the Apaches being removed, the Territory
will double in population and resources
within the next two years.

"YOUNG MRS. WINTHROP"
Presented at the Grand by the
Long & Mott Co.

very good house assembled at the Grand
Opera House last night to see the presenta-
ton OF Bronson Howard's popular society
drama, "Young Mrs. winthrop" as present
ed by the Mott & Long Comedy Company.
Most play goers are familiar with the play,
which is full OF interesting situations, live
ment.
The stage setting was much better than
usual, q thing no doubt accounted for by
the fact that all the scenes in the four acts
are laid in the parlor of the Winthrop home.
a fashionable modern mansion. The piece
was dressed in very elegant taste, introduc-
ing some very handsome toiletes.
Mr.. E. J. Buckley took the leading role.
that of douglas winthrop" 1t is quite
superauous to say much of his inter
pretation OF the part when 1t is
known that he appeared in it for
Square, New York. Mr.. Buckley plays
with much good taste, and a very fiue coun-
terfeit presentment OF the trying situations
and deep pathos exacted III this role. His
stage appearance is grand, and his manners
quite those OF a successful business man
aud gentleman of our time.
Ia the role of Buxton Scott a lawyer"
Mr. J. n. Long presented very fine crea-
ton. This is one of the only two humorous
veins in the play, and Mr.. Long played on
its comical aspect for all there was in 1t.
tie won many hearty rounds of applause
from all parts of the house
As "ConStsnce Winthrop" the young
wife, Miss Charlotte Tittell, appeared to
great advantage. This Is a more ambitious
and exigent role than Miss Tittell has
hitherto attempted before Los Angeles
audience. She certainly could not be
otherwise than hatterPd by the warm np-
probation she was greeted with last night.
At the en- of each act she was called before
the curtain by rapturous applause from ali
quarters of the house.
Miss Darragh has the foil to the pathos of
the play among the ladies, as the numsr-
ously married and divorced wife, and as
the "adven urous grass widow" she played
her part to excellent advantage.
AS Edith" the blind sister, Miss Alice
Cameron was admirably suited in her cast.
She acted the piece with a very nice appre-
ciation of its meaning, and won decided
admiration from the audience.
Young Mrs. winthrop" holds the boards
tonight. For the matinee Saturday "The
Private Secretary" is the attraction, and at
the closing performance tomorrow night
that screaming farce "a Victim of Circum
stances" is underlined. good house is
bespoken for each appearance OF this ex
cellent company.

The wages OF CoiOred LnbOrcFs
in the South.


CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, october 2f.--Hon.
James G. Blaine. in his speech at PittsbuFg
yesterday. referred to Chattanooga as
point in the south where colored laborers
are paid sixty and seventy cents a day. The
Daily Times, commenting on this speech.
says: Careful investigation here reveals the
fact that the lowest wages paid to c0i0rod
laborers in any industry is ninety cents per
day, and this rate covers only few at South
Tredger Iron Works. The greater number
get from 81 to IS per day, with large num-
Der at intermediate rates of $1.25 and 81 80

various places in which they work. Thosc
are representative Southern industries.
What we say of Chattanooga in this regard
applies to Birmingham. Knoxville and

In the South Tredger nail works working
as feeders make from 10 cents 70 $1.25 per
