The Land Grant Forfeitures.

WASHINGTON, March l5.-Although the
house committee on public lands directed
the preparation of a general bill forfeit
ing railroad land grants, the whole SUBJ
ject was opened up afresh to day by the
action of the sub committee, which re-
ported bills for the complete forfeiture
of the Northern and Southern Pacific
railroad land grants, and partial for
feiture of the grant to the Hastings X
Dakota railroad company. The presen-
tation of these reports occasioned dis
cussion, from which it appeared that
there was misunderstanding on the
part Of the members of the purpose OF
the resolution adopted at the last meet
ing of the committee, With view to
clearing this and finding the sentiment
of the committee Stone OF Missouri,
offered resolution that the committee
adopt the principle declaring forfeiture
of the entire grant (where the roads
were not completed in contract time).
Herman moved as all amendment that
the Northern Pacific be exempted from
the operation of the rule, and argued
that the committee should first report
the bills forfeiting the granted lands
opposite the unconstructed parts of the
road. Thus the subject was carried back
to the position which it occupied before
the preceding meeting, and no attemp'
was made to vote on it. The motion
went over till the next meeting.

Cash VS.. Credit.

One of the prominent houses in the
millinery trade says:
las is our custom at the beginning of
each season, we urge the adoption Of the
cash system by retailers, and each sea-
son we are gratitied to learn that the
number of our customers who sell for cash
increases. We are aware of the difficult
ties that many must meet to make this
change. We know that in some places
they can't be overcome. The money in
a community depends upon the market
ing of the chief crop of that section. In
one place it is cotton ; in another, oran-
ges; another, hops, etc but each season
sees an increasing acreage of other crops
in these sections. While, because ofthe
soil or climate, the crops named "ill con-
tinue to be financial backbone of these
sections, people begin to see that other
crops may be cultivted too. These may
be turned to money at other times than
that in which returns from the main
crop are received. They can be made
to form good substantial ribs for fasten'
ing tC the financial backbone; and in
due time the skeleton will be clothed
with the fat and muscle of an all-tht
year round circulation of money. Thii
would be a gain to both dealer and cos
toner.

while the Montana Centeral has almost

nothing would afford the citizens here

Is it SMALLPOX 2

Small pox is beginns to sweep over
the country and an epidemic similar to
to that of lSSl.2 seems probable. The
Medical Standard Chicago renders a
distinct service not only 10 physicians
but to the community in dwelling upon
the necessity for preventive measures
and care in diagnosis. This latter point
is by no means the simple problem
which the limited discussion Of the sub
iect in medical journals, textbooks, and
medical schools would imply. The errors
in diagnosis of eminent physicians de-
ponstrate the necessity for care. Even
in this city measles, chicken-pox, and
other eruptve diseases have been mis-
taken for S nall-pox, and vice versa ;and
in 1854 the health .llicer of Cincinnati
gave a permit for the shipment of body
from that city to Crawford county ILL.,,
where it caused an outbreak of small
pox resulting in ten cases and three
| deaths in the town of Robinson. The
case had been diagnosed as purpura in
Cincinnati, when it was in fact hemorrh-
asic small pox. Dir. Kiernan furnishes
in his March number 4 resume Of the
puzzling eruptions most likely to be
encountered and promises further
discussion of the subject in the pages oi
the Standard.

EXPERIMENTAL STATIONS
Mcmillan Talks about the Hatch Bill and
Says the College Of Montana will Try
and Avail Itself of its Privileges.

DEER LODGE, March 12.-[Special to
the independent. president Mcmillan
has gone east. Just before leaving, in
conversation with your correspondent,
he gave some interesting facts and de-
tails regarding the establishment of an
agricultural experimental station in con-
nection with the College of Montana.
He said
Gin order to make provisions of the
Hatch Bill available to the College of
Montana it will be necessary for oar leg
| islatuTe to pass an act accepting the con-
ditions of the bill for the territory of
Montana, and designate the college as
the place for the agricultural expert
mental station. OF course, it will be
necessary beforehand for the board OF
trustees of the college to more perfectly
organize the agricultural department s,
as to conform to the requirements of the
bill. This they will surely do. Theil
articles of incorporation give them al
needful power without reincorporation
The act of 1882 made the annual appro
priation of $4,000, payable out of tht
proceeds of the sale of public lands, bl'
the act of 1887, known as the Hatch bill
provides that the annuity shall be pait
out of any funds in the treasury no

Another Red Bluff Protest.

A.W. Tanner. of Red Bluff, has sent
letter to Mr.. Merrill of the Mineral Land
Committee in which he certities to the
following:
He has house on tract of land that
is claimed by the N. p. Railroad Co.
The house has stood there since 1867
and there are several quartz mines on
the ground that have been and are pro-
ducing regularly. Yet the railroad com
pany have claimed the whole township
and their agents have offered to quit
claimed to Mr.. Tanner for $500. They
claim it as agricultural land, yet the
affidavit sets forth that only 1000 acres
out of the 900 in the township could
be elassed as agricultural land. over
ninety per cent. of it being mountainous
and mineral ground.

The Tobacco Habit,

Contrasting the opposite opinions of
doctors upon the effects OF toblcco the
Medical Record thus sums up the case:
The real facts as to the influence of
tobacco on the health are fairly we'll
established, and the occasional outburst
of anti-tobacco ianaticiSm does not effect
received medical opinion, Tobacco is
pernicious to growing children. Used in
moderation, the majority o! healthy
adults can smoke it without harm. 1t
does not in these shorten life or produce
degenerative changes. Nearly one half
of Prof. Humphreys collection of ccn-
tenarians were tobacco.users. 1t is par
ticularly harmless to those who live out
doors and engage in physical work, 1t
is particularly apt to injure those who
live indoors. The worst feature about
its use is the difficulty some persons
have in smoking in moderation. This
is especially true of brain-work kers, and
it is for this reason that physicians
never advise the requirement of the
tobacco habit. But anon; the great
mass of working people the use of To-
bacco is apparently harmless one.
