Probably congress will grant to the
Union Pacific railroad the extension
Of time for which il has put in
an earnest plea. As the STANDARDS
readers have already been told, the
road is indebted To the government in the
sum of ~S52,OOO,OOO. The debt falls due
within five years, and the company's
inability To meet IL is admitted. When
the request for an extension of fifty years
wa made in behalf of the road, the press
of Montana favored the plan, not because
this section believed itself i'm any way
indebted TO the management of the Union
Pacific for fayors shown To the people of
this region, but rather in the belief that,
taking the wants N prospects OF Mon
tana into account, the interests of the
public will best be served il, favored with
the extension Of time, the road is left free
to adapt itself to the business demands Of
this section. IL seems clear, under the
terms OF which the proposed extension of
time is asked, that the government can
lose nothing by granting II.

In a formal way and following prece-
dent, the national house of representa-
lives paid its tribute, asst Saturday, to
the memory of the late $. s. Coz. Related
to the ceremony is an incident about
which little has been said in the hearing
of the public. The fact is that memorial
services had been arranged to he held lin
Washington two weeks ago. Responding
TO the announcement, n large company
of New Workers net at the national capt.
tai i'm order by their presence to testify
TO their personal regard for the memory
of the lead statesman. For some reason,
however, the memorial services were not
held. Nobody in Washington was able to
tell why the lapse occurred-probably IL
was a case Of downright neglect on the
part Of those having the affair in charge.
At any rate the New York delegation vas
sufficiently annoyed and chagrined, and
the disappointment was not lcssened
when the discovery was made that the
speakers who had c VI assigned for the
service were not men distinguished either
for their political prominence or for their
gifts in oratory. II was a disagreeablc

ernment of the United States.
The map clearly shows the country
now being cut over by the Canadian
lum6erman, the water courses through
which the stolen timber floats to it's do
minion destination. Ex-United States
Senator Henry NJ. Rice, who spent five
months in the northern portion of Min
nesota treating with the Indians
as member of the Red Lake
commission says that this timber cut
ting is going on for fifty miles up the
Baudette, Big and Little Fork rivers,
and that the Indians declare that it has
been going on for more than dozen
years. SO bold have these timber rob-
bers become that they have built dams

lect this great timber belt. Not a foot
of this timber can be sold or in any way
disposed of until it has been appraised
and surveyed. The crying need of the
hour for about 200 miles of American
shore line in this portion of the coun-
try is at least one revenue cutter

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-Nellie Bly,, the
New York Worlds globe circler, stepped
from the train in the Jersey City station
OF the Pennsylvania railroad this after
noon. Her actual time in making the
circuit of the world, as computed by the
official takers and verified by the Worlds
announcement this evening was seventy
two days, six hours and eleven minutes.
A number of ladies and gentlemen,
mostly newspaper people, met Miss BLY,
at Philadelphia and formed an escort to
this city. The station in Jersey City
was crowded with people long before
the train was due, and Mayor Cleve
land and other officials were there
to receive Miss Bly,. When she alighted
she found herself in the midst of an en-
thusiastic crowd which the police had
hard work to separate. Mayor CleVe~
land tried to make
AN ADDRESS OF WELCOME,
but the crowd kept pressing in so
closely that it was postponed. The
cheering was continued until Miss Bly,
had taken passage for New York over
the Cortland street ferry. This was ac.
complished only by two of her escorts
carrying her the length of the platform.
On the trip across to New York every
tug boat and steam craft saluted the
ferryboat. At Cortland street another
tremendous crowd had gathered and
Miss Bly's way tothe World Office was
one of cheers and flowers. At the
World Office Miss Bly, held short re-
ception. She is in good health and

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 25.-The
discovery that comparatively large
number of receivers of public moneys
in different parts Of the West are short
in their accounts with the government
has led to an investigation into what
safeguards have been employed to pre-
vent defalcations. 1t is stated that
hitherto receivers have been required
to furnish duplicate copies of ali certifi-
Gates of deposit, one of which is sent to
the treasury department and the other
is retained by the receiver himself. The
result is that while the officials
of the general land Office may know,
from reports received, the exact
amouns collected by the receiver during
any given time they have no knowledge
of what amounts have been deposited in
the designated government depOsito-
ries. On the other hand, while the
treasury department officials have III
formation as to the amounts deposited
from time to time they have no knowl-
edge of whether" these amounts CORE
Spond with the Office receipts which
should have been deposited. Thus it is
that receivers have been able to keep
each department fully and correctly in
formed as to those matters which they
are required to furnish to each, and
still, for very long time, escape detec-
tion as defaulters. This and several
other loose methods will be speedily
corrected.
