 An important decision by Assist ant Secretary Chandler has just been received at the Prescott land office On November 19, 1887, the Atlantic and Pacific railroad filed list of selections of land in the indemnity strip of its land grant, which was rejected by the local office. The railroad company appealed to the commissioner of the general land office, who affirmed the decision of the local officers, and an appeal was then taken to the Hon. Secretary of the Interior, who now closes the case by affirming the former deci- sions and cancelling the selection. A large portion of the land is Tn Williamson valley and Walnut creek, and this action of the secretary gives the land to the settlers.
 The statement that the s. F., r. & P. railroad is starting a large mer- cantile establishment at Ash Fork is without any foundation whatever. The contractors have had commis- sary there ever since they com menced work, but no other mercan- tile establishment of any kind con- nected with the railroad company is contemplated and the company has nothing to do with the above mentioned one. The statement that the company is salready connected with one in Prescott" is equally un- true. The S. F., P. & P. railroad company was organized to construct, equip and operate railroads and are doing the first as rapidly as possible. They are net now, nor have they any intention of engaging in mercantile business either in Prescott, Ash Fork or elsewhere. | aA~tc> Aosnsrs
