FORFEITURE AT LAST.

The most important proceeding in con-
eress yesterday was the passage by the
House of the Senate bill FORGETTING al land
grants made to railroads wherever lines of
road have not actually been constructed.
The bill now goes to the Senate for approval
OF certain minor changes and then to the
president; and there is scarcely doubt
that it will become law. Under the
operations of this prospective law large
bodies OF land in this state and in Oregon.
which have heretofore been held subj to
projected but uncertain railroad operations,
will be released and added to the public
domain, and made available for general
settlement under the provisions Of the gem
eral land laws. 1t was part of the original
scheme of the Northern Pacific to build a
line down the Columbia river, and in the
grant OF lands made to the company
provision was made for this as for other
parts OF the road. Although the line has
never been built. the land has been re-
served, working great hardship upon
would-be settlers, and greatly hindering
the development of the country. A law
forfeiing these lands ought to have been
enacted long age

EASTERN AND WESTERN WASHING
TON POPULATION.

The census returns indicate heavy pre-
ponderance of population in this state west
OF the Cascade mountains. The fact is
especially notable because it has gen.
orally been supposed that an open
prairie country would settle up more
rapidly than heavily timbered country.
There was indeed a time when Eastern
Washington gained population much more
rapidly than the western section. But
while Eastern Washington has afforded an
easier field for purely agricultural
settlement, and has no doubt gained
larger agricultural population, Western
Washington has developed industries en-
The interests of commerce, the timber in
dRstry, the coal mining industry-these
and other developments, have made here a
market for labor not to be found east of
the mountains.
But it must be remembered that rail
roads have been slow in coming to Eastern
Washington; that large part of her rich
est country is still unoccupied because still
remote, and that another large part is tenn
porarily held in reserve for occupation by
Indians. And, furthermore. it must be re-
membered that the vast mineral belt in the
northern and northwestern sections of the
state is as yet practically undeveloped.
While it is true that Western Washington
at present has two-thirds of the population
OF the whole state, 1t is by no means certain
that she will retain this advantage.

Black Bart Robs the Cariboo Stage.

The most daring stage robbery chronicled in
the history OF British Columbia was perpetrated
on the B. G. Express Company's stage which
runs from Cariboo to Ashcroft, on Monday even
ing at about o'clock, involving loss of about
$4,000. On the road at the ninety seven mile
post masked man met the stage. and OF the
muzzle of a Winchester called a halt, demand
ing the treasure. The driver offer.d bag with
$1,000 in it, but the robber refused to take it, He
said he wanted the safe, and didn't in end to
make third request, so he was allowed to
take the iron safe. After throwing it from the
stage. and salutiHg the driver and single pas
senger with mock politeness. followed with a
volley of the m st profane language, the robber
ordered the stage to drive on. Usually the
stage is not worth much, but as il is washing

and careful examination, conducted with

plant are Of an old style. and are being put

and inefficient manner. The new
engines. like the boilers, are Of old
style with faults that win seriously limit
their working capacity. The new suction

posed that it viii draw up warm

DEATH OF MRS. LEARY.

The death of Mrs. John Leary, which
occurred at San Francisco yesterday morn
ing, is the subject OF profound regret and
grief in this city, which had been her home
for more than twenty years. Not alone
within her own immediate social circle, but
in the far wider circle included in her
broad charities, and in which she was ex-
ceptionally beloved, there is sincere mourn
ing. Mrs. Leary came to Seattle with her
husband in 1869. when there was little
more than mere settlement here, and
long before the close of the pic.
neer era. A bright, intelligent woman,
warm of heart and full of kindly SYM
pathy, and with broad ideas of Christian
duty, she became at once a most useful
member of society. Her home was the
center of a generous hospitality, and her
hand was the giver of good wher-
ever there was need of charity.
With the development of the city
and its growth in population. and with the
growth of her own financial resources, Mrs.
Leary has always maintained her original
relationship to those who needed sy mpathy
or substantial aid. She was among those
who organized the first systematic
charitable association. and at the
time of her death was the president
and leading spirit in that society of good
women, who make special duty of caring
for orphan children. Her good works
have been innumerable, and have filled
and sweetened a life very precious to those
who have come within the sphere
OF its warm and active sympathies. For
such as she the reward must be exceeding
great. For Mr.. Leary, whose affection is
indeed severe, the sympathy of the whole
city is but poor recompense.
