IS now before the Se1ate Committee on
Pablo Lands This bill reduced the fees
ct land offices in Washington State, but
affects no other offices. The bill has been
referred to subcommittee. Senators
rom a'es where the fees are as high AS

hill, saying that they do not want to cut
down the fees of their appointees SEN

Tor that company to build this year, the
Montana mineral road men have the best
o. the fight, and will no Doubt carry their
bill through in spite Of all the rival COM
Pany can muster.
