UNPATENTED LAND GRANTS.

"A very important bill, to which
public attention has not yet been ade-
quately called" says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle. Twas passed by Con-
gress at its former session this year
and approved by the President. 1t
remedies serious defect in former
legislation in regard to the taxation Of
railroad land grants. Heretofore the
corporations enjoying such grants have
successfully evaded the taxes levied
upon those portions of the tracts In
question the title to which had not
yet been conveyed to them by patent.
They have also deferred or refused the
payment Of costs Of surveys, location
conveyance. winch thus became a
government lien. Until this lien is
discharged, of course the patent is
withheld, a state of things which was
not undesirable to those companies
who did not find very ready sale for
their lands. The salient clause of the
bill provides that:
"No lands granted to any railroad
corporation by any act of Congress
shall be exempt from taxation by
states, territories and municipal cor
porations on account of the lien of the
United States upon the same for costs
of surveying, selecting and conveying
the same, or because no patent has
been issued therefor.
There is qualifying clause to the
effect that this provision shall not ap-
ply to unsurveyed lands. This meas.
ure authorizes the ssle of railroad
lands for the taxes. the same as
any other lands. The purchasers, of
course, will take them subjectDto the
government lien for costs of sur
veys. etc., but the encouragement is
directed. after giving notice thirty
days in advance to the railroad com.
pany, to commence proceedings
against 1t for the amount of these costs
and when they are collected the secre-
tary of the interior must reimburse the
purchaser, or bis heirs or assignee. The
proper enforcement OF this law will
soon compel the railroads holding
bodies Of lands for p rise to put them
on the market, as they cannot afford
10 allow them to lie entirely idle while
subject TO taxation. The attention of
the assessors of the various counties in
this state through which the sub
sidized railroads run should be direc.
ted to this meter, so as to prevent fur
ther tax evasion by the railroad cor
porations."

ENGLAND proposes to hold a Potato
Tercentenary to celebrate the three
hundreth anniversary of the introduc-
tion OF the spud to English feeders.
Sir Walter Raleigh, knight, courtier,
scientist and gentleman, great and
sad-souled man, grew the first English
potato at Youghal House. The world
has forgotten that he drew his sword
at seventeen for the Huguenots, and
that his ship worried the Spanish
Armada's rear like sea terrier, and
not many remember that his great
head rolled on the stones of old Pal
ace Yard, the noblest of the crop har-
vested blythe headsman Of King James,
but we all remember that he planted.

that ever grew In Europe. We have

THERE is at Leeds, England, an
ornitho!ogical association. Among
other things they study the songs of
wild birds. Not long ago they pitted
a full-song, acclimated nightingale
against Yankee mocking bird. They
sang together, then they sang apart
First the nightingale led off until
everything he knew was duplicated
and improved upon by our national
songster. Then the mocking bird
struck off into a new field of song.
The nightingale listened but did not
repeat. He pined away and died
within a week.
