STATE TIMBER CRUISERS.
Land Commission and Governor Ferry
EndeayoTing TO Fix Compensation.

EndtaTOTlhg 10 II Tom pensatlon.
OLYMPIA, sept. I7.-fSpecial- The state land
commission had under consideration today the
subject OF providing rules for the government of
the agents recently appointed 70 cruise lands for
the state. The most important mater In con-
nection with the employment OF these cruisers
f. the question OF their compensation. The law
under which they have been appointed provides
for their payment at the rate Of 10 cents for each
acre cruised by them and entered by the state.
As the total number of scres granted by congress,
other than for common school purposes,
amounts TO 02o,0l0 acres, the full statutory COM
pensation would reach the munificent sum of
$4,000. Governor Ferry is in favor OF making
contracts with the cruisers at a fixed salary in
the interest Of economy. No decision on the
matter was reached By the commission.

ject the Development Of Moore county
The company owns three thousand acres
Of the finest brown stone IN the United

John l. Currie. sheriff. They are backed
by Maxwell Stevenson, Henry D. Mears,
and Charles Ell. Anderson, Of Philadel-
phia They are well known as gentle
men of high character and large wealth,
and they mean business.
In order to develop these large depo-
sits of brown stone, they propose to
build railroad from point near the
Gulf on the Cape Fear and 1adkin Val
ley railroad or from some convenient
point on the Raleigh and Augusta Rail
road to the quarries, and they have had
bill introduced in the House to char
ter railroad company. They ask nc
subscriptions from the townships OF
from the citizens of Moore. They eXpec
to furnish the whole amount necessary
for the purpose. They will build roac
up Deep River and up to the McLen
don Valley and will thus Increase tbs
value of property in that portion Of The
county fourfold. This means taxes t.
the State and county, and prosperity K
the people Of that section. We con
gratulate the county Of Moore on
; splendid future, and we bid the gentlmel
who propose to develop her wondertu
resources, God speed. We cannot hav
too many railroads. We invite Gu
Northern friends to come down an(
assist in opening up our country, an
thus add to the material prosperity c

gentlemen any reasonable charter
