CALLED me was that you should of waited
till the old cuss was extinct before you come
TO us like a man and told US about it. You
pull US through the sand for a week and bis
ter our heels and condemn near kill US, and
all the time you know that the blame brute
is layin' there in the hot sun gittin' more and
more extinct every minute. Fun IS fun, and
like little nonsense now and then just as

of a way.
"You claim that the animal has been dead
goin' on 5000 years, or some such thing as
that, and try to get out of IL that way, but
long as you knew it and we didn't it shows
that you're low cuss not to speak OF it.
What difference does it make to us, I say,
whether this brute was or was not dead and
Swelled up like a pizen'd steer long before

didn't know it. We haven't seen the Salt

that the day is not far distant when you will
wake up and find yourself IN the bottom of
an untimely grave.
You bring US $50 miles to look at an cid
bone pile all tramped into the ground and
then say that the animal Is extinck. That's a

Foreclosure Sales and Receiverships.

The Railway Age. presents a discour-
aging record OF railway foreclosure sales
and receiyerships for the year 1855 Re-
ferring to its tabulated statement, The pa-
per says: a.
1t will be seen that during the past
year Twenty-Five railways in the United
States, with 1853 miles OF main lire,
u total bonded debt and capitaliza-
ton OF nearly $27S, 500, 900, have been
sold under foreclosure and transferred
to new ownership. The result is the capi-
tai stock is generally wiped out entirely,
and the bonded debt changed into the
form Of new securities, sometimes OF less
and sometimes OF greater amounts. The TO-
tails OF this table are sufficiently
Impressive in themselves, but they will
be found still more 30 by comparing with
tae summary for previous years, which
makes the assertion that during ten wears
1923 railways, with total length OF 2, 900
miles, or rs per cent OF the entire railway
mileage OF the country ut the commence
ment OF 1855, and with an aggregate capi.
tai stock and bouded debt OF 81, IT'S. .OO0.-
OOO or nearly "a per cent OF the total
stock and bonded Indebtedness at the same
date, have gone through the disastrous Ok.
periences OF default in interest, passing in
to the hands of receivers, with the long
list Of expenses and losses involved in this,
and finally forced sale, which has wiped out
the entire interest OF many of the holders,
and compelled the otherssto accept new &c.
curities, and generally to advance more
money in order to maintain the existence
OF the property in the future.

sheen passed upon by Assistant Secretary

$ings are recommended to che attorney gem
eral. Inthe past thirty days over six u
8Auch cases have been examined and suits
decided upon. 5 81
The trespass upon which suits were or
derfd against the Gull River Lumber CONE
pany of Minneapolis consisted lin cutting
and removing from the land 3, ,2D9 pine
trees estimated to contain z 80, 900 feet of
lumber, board measure. OF this amount,
a219, 600 feet were cut in&1 1S81, il s2S7 900 in

cutting was all done for the Gull River Lum-
ber company by parties under contract or
ymensins their employ under the direc-
stions sot its foreman and director, Thomas
Naper or Marcy. The average value OF the
lumber in the tree is shown by the agents 3

Was unintentional in Il every case,
but admits careleesness in some
Instances. Tt proposes to pay stump
age value for most Of the timber cut, but
offers mill value, $3.50 per LOCO for g.
900 feet, and boom value, $5. 80 per ], 600,
for $500 feet, admitting great carelessness
as TO the cutting OF the same. The secretary
says that tits highly improbable that over
three thousand pine trees should be cut on
government land and the company be en-
stirely ignorant Of the TACT. The agent
claimed he made q mistake about the lines,
and the secretary says he has observed
that these mistakes always lead TO cutting
government pine and the mistake never
came into the lumber company's pines
from the outside. He declines to accept
8 stumpage R Sas offered, saying that this
pnny can make a good thing at it..
He recommends that the agent be prose
cuted criminally; and that a civil suit for
the timber taken bout 81, 500 in value
be brought against the Gull River Lumber
company. 4 suit was recommended in
