wESIy MILLIONS FOR THE
NORTHERN Pacific.

A rEw days ago Judge Caldwell, a
Federal functionary Of North Dakota,
rendered n decision giving to the North.
cru Pacific clear title To all the lands
within Its grant, not known to be min.
eral lands at tho time the maps were
filed which defined the location OF tho
road. The decision Is said TO be worth
t2o,OOO,oo0 Mt least, To the Northern
Pacific company.
In Montana, Idaho aud Washington
there are said 10 be vast areas Of this
land on which valuable deposits Of gold,
copper and silver have been discovered
Nobody has charged tue learned All.
ther Of this decision with being cor
ruptcd with Northern Pacific gold, but
there Is n general demand from all
quarters for an appeal from his court,
which reflects somewhat or his purity
or his ability. II Is not the popular
thing for a judge 10 30 far out OF his
way 10 favor railroad corporations In
land grant matters. The majority OF
belief on the subject In general Is that
the grants, In most cases, II Carried
out to the letter by the beneflciarfes,
are n monstrous wrong to the common
people. And In Wow Of tho frauds
which have come to light IN connec.
ton with such affairs, there IL no
disposition 10 give the railroad com.
panies the bsneht Of any legal doubts
that arise In their adjudication.
A typical example Ia cited by the San
Francisco Chronicle In the case Of tho
Central Pacific grant. The Transaction
provided expressly that In the eale Of
tho land In no ease should the com.
pany charge more than $3.50 per acre.
The vast amount Of valuable lands
which came within the grant were u
temptation too great to be resisted for
the invention OF u method to avoid this
just requirement.
And this was the way II was accom-
plished. A nominal sale Of the lands
for the specified price was made to
certain persons under private arrange.
ments that they be again sold for their
real value, which was In some cases $50
an acre, and the company receive all
benefits. This IL u fair example OF
railroad land grant transactions.

THE CASAD, PROBLEM.

A CHICAGO paper has solved the
problem Of Canadian opposition TO
annexation to the United States. II
declares that as fast ~ converts are
made 10 the annexation scheme,
they give practical voucher

by Immediately emigratlng across
the line into the United States. Thus
the Tory sentiment. while decreasing
continually in relative popularity, Is
always In tho majority.
This Is told as Joke, but II looks like
a fact nevertheless. English papers,
In their criticisms upon the manage
ment Of CaDsda's relations with the
United States, have long ago called
attention 10 the stream Of emigration

NEW ABSTRACT SCHEME.
The County to Do Its Own Work
in That Line.


The county commissioners have
stumbled upon. new scheme, which
may be put into effect shortly. The
scheme is to have set of abstract books
made for the use of the county, SO that
it may do the work in that department.
One reason for the move is that there is
every risk that the old court house may
burn down, and if it should do so the
records might be destroyed, and dupli-
cate records would be a handy thing to
have around i'll any such event. The
cost of the books would be considerable,
about $1,000 Or 10000, but the end would
Justify the means.
There are some who would like to dis
courage the scheme, as other people are
in that line of business, and would prac-
tically knock them out. The real cause
for the change is to lessen the fees paid
for general abstract work and bring it
into the Golfers of the registry depart
ment. OF late the income of the regis
ditioD, while it will save dealers in dirt
considerable amounts, will also add to
the earnings of the register. 1t seems
that there is an old state law which pro-
viGeS that in all counties where there
are abstract books. the register shall be
allowed 10 cents for each entry The
abstract men are wild over the matter,
and see in it the death Of their bust
ness.
Mr.. Heinrich is full of explanations as
to the manner i'll which 1t will save
money for the poor people. He claims
that in many instances the little infor-
nation which they may want in regard
to membranes or titles to property
will cost them absolutely nothing, for it
will show in the records, while at pres
ent the seeker after information has to
