The interior department has forward
ed to Surveyor General Eaton $4,000
with which to pay the expenses and sal
aries Of the special agents he will send
to examine and approve or disapprove
the surveys Of public lands which have
been made in this state under the pro-
visions of recent legislation. These sur
veys have been made under contracts
authorized by the last sundry civil ap-
preparation bill. More contracts have
been awarded to Montana under this
appropriation than for any other state
which has public lands. The govern
ment has adopted new policy in the
way Of examination, by sending out
special agents to report at once, thus
avoiding the long delays in the payment

been complained of in the past years.
Judge Stoneman of the superior court
at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, has decided that
the state prohibitory law was null and
void so far as the sale of original pack
ages was concerned. The decision was
in case growing out of the seizure of
beer brought from st. Louis to be sold
by brewery agent last June. The beer
was seized on complaint Of Rev. Mr..
Abrams The brewery company asked
an injunction against Abrams and also
sought to replevin the goods already
seized. The defendant demurred that
the writ of replevin would not lie to re-
cover beer in Iowa. Judge Stoneman
holds that the Wilson bill is not retro
active in it's operation; that the Iowa
law regarding the sale Of liquor in origi-
nal packages is null and void. He grants
perpetual injunction to restrain
Abrams from further interfering with
the business of the plaintiff.
