SHELTON MASON COUNTY,
No Taxes from Unpatented r. r. Lands

Judge Hanford, of Seattle, following
IN the lines of Dakota Judge, has
decided that the unpatented lands of
the Northern Pacific Railroad are un-
taxable. This decision if it stands
means saving Of fully 100000 to the
railroad company and consequent
loss OF that amount in taxes to the
several states where such lands exist.
1t will probably cost Mason County
full, $4,000 on taxes now due from
the railroad company, and the state
in all probability ten times as much.
Why is it that congress fails to estab-
lish the status of these lands given to
the railroad company under grant, but
for which patents are not yet issued?
The railroad company uses them.
contracts for the sale of both the lands
and the timber on them, and receives
benefits in other ways, but escapes
paying taxes upon them. The settler
who buys from them is required to
pay taxes at once, and his improve
ments on such lands are also taxed.
This may be the law of the case, as
Judge Hanford construes, but it is
mighty poor equity. Congress should
either annul the grants, or else order
the issuance of fall patents, and the
railroad company should be required
to pay taxes from the time it assumed
control of them. OF course, the COM
pany prefers the matter to remain in
statu quo, OF late, patent for part
of the lands has been issued, but the
bulk are still uEpatented. The loss of
delinquent taxes, on which lhe coun-
ties have been depending to some ex-
tent to make up required revenues,
will be considerabl blow.
Speaking of the grants the st. Paul
Journal says:
"This reminds us of the gift by the
govern ent of the United States to
the Northern Pacific railroad of every
odd section for 40 miles on each side
of the right-of-ways across the contin-
ent. 1t was a gift all right as far as
the railroad was concerned, but every
settler who paid for his land paid
double the price charged north or
south OF the grant. In other words,
the land given to the road was paid
for by the settlers"

Boys, Take Your Choice.

L read Of boy who had a remark a.
BILE dream. He thought that the rich
est man in the town came to him and
said: 81 am tired of my house and
grounds; come and take care of them,
and L will give them to you." Then
came an honored Judge and said: ~
want you to take my place; | am
weary of being in court day after day !;
L will give you my seat on the bench
If you will do my work" Then the
doctor proposed that he take his ex-
tensive practice and let him rest, and
so on. At last up shambled Tommy,
and said: "I'm wanted to fill a
drunkard's grave; have come to see
If you will take my place IN these
saloons and on those street," This is
a dream that is not all dream. For
every boy in this land to-day who lives
to grow up, some position is waiting
as surely as if the rich man, judge,
doctor, or drunkard stood ready to
hand over his place al once. Which
will you choose, boys? There are pull
pits to oe filled by God-fearing min
isters. and thousands Of Eosher huuora-

The Largest Water Lily.

The very largest species of the water
lily family is found in the swamp
lagoOns of Central America 1t was
first discovered by white men in June,
1901, but was not named until 1897,
when Dr. Lindsey, the British botan-
ist, named it Victoria Regina, in hon
or of the young English Queen. Seeds
were first taken to England in 1850,
and in 1858 were taken to Massa-
chusetts. In both cases lilies were
successfully grown. The leaves of
this immense lily are O. such enorn.-
Gus size that no one will believe the
stories told concerning them until
they have seen and measured on them
selves. w hen it is asserted that single
leaves are ten feet, one can readily un-
derstand why most people demand
oc ular proof before believing or repeat
ing the story. In Central America,
it is said that they have, been found
more than II feet in diameter! These
gigantic leaves have their edges up
turned in such a manner that they
can be used as boats, their weight-sus-
tanning power being surprising great.
The flower itself is no pigmy OF bios
som, often exceeding two feet in
diameter. The color ranges i'll the
different varieties, Immaculate white
to the very deepest crimson. All OF
the principal botanical gardens in the
United States now have specimens of
the Victoria Regina iii their collec-
tion, and one man, at least, Mr.
Sturtevant of New Jersey, is liked
for supplying the giant lily market.
In Europe specimens of the plant are
not so common, but most of the large
conservatories have them on exhlbl-
ton.

Bob Burdette gives this simple re-
ceipt: "My homeless friend with the
chromatic nose, while you are stirring
up the sugar in ten-cent glass of gin,
let me give you fact to wash it down
with. You may say you have longed
Tor years for the free independent life
OF farmer. but you have never been
able to- get money enough to buy a
farm. But there is where you are
mistaken. For some years you have
been drinking good improved farm
at the rate of 100 square feet at a
gulp. If you doubt this statement
figure it out for yourself. An acre of
land contains 1850 square feet.
Estimating, for convenience, the land
at 1896 an acre, you will see that
1t brings the land at just one mill per
square foot. Now pour down that
hery dose and imagine you are swal-
lowing strawberry patch. Call in
i've OF your friends and have them
help you gulp down that 500 foot
garden. Get on prolonged spree
some day and see how long it will take

rich dirt, worth $43.56 per acre" y

A sturdy Irish editor writes to Irish
men, as follows: "The Irish saloon
keeper aids in blocking the advance
of every ambitious, intelligent lad of
Irish descent. Remember that sons of
Irishmen, when you see the "Mc's"
and "O's" over the doors of bar-rooms.
These men are your enemies, boys.
Your self-interest dictates that you
should be their foe. If you love the
blood that flows in your veins and

A CLERGYMAN BUNCoED.

Rev. c. Schwabland, a minister of
the gospel from Milton Junction,
Ia, fell among. thieves on lower
Twenty-fifth street Friday evening,
and was buncoed out of $780, and it
came to pass after this manner:
1t seems that when the reverend
gentleman stopped over between trains
on his way to Fresno, Cal, he started
up town with gentleman named
White, whom he had met on the
train coming up from Salt Lake, and
who represented himself to be bank
they INDUCED in the mild dissipation of
a milk shake at Mr.. Whites expense.
Then they met Mr.. c. c. Belmont. Mr..
Belmont asked if this was Mr.. White
the bank inspector? Yes, this was Mr..
White the bank inspector. Mr.. Bel
mont explained that he had left his
valise on the train and had not the
money to pay certain charges. Mr..
White had draft for $1,560, plenty of
big money, but no small change.
Would Rev. Schwabland be so kind
All! thanks. The reverend loaned the
sum desired &12.50) and Mr.. Belmont
was made happy. Then Mr.. White eX-
cused himself and left the minister to
think it over, agreeing to make it all
right when they met at the depot. The
minister notified the police, who went
promptly to the room on TWenty-fifth
street occupied by the bunco men and
arrested them. A certificate of deposit
on an Ogden bank and some $40 gold
pieces were also captured. The bunco
artists will have their trial next Mon
day and Rev. SchWabland will stop in
Ogden over Sunday.

savagely attacked and beaten Fergu-
son while the latter was reclining on a
bench at Calder's park.
Later in the day the same parties
figured in Commissioner Greenman' S

came off second best. AS reported in

to a warrant charging Ferguson with
committing criminal assault on Grey S
two little girls, Mabel, aged 8, and
Mary, aged u years, on Friday. 1t
was in chastisement for the supposed
offense that Grey beat the old gentle

guson. who is 60 years of age, was
exhibiting patent bee hive at the
horticultural fair at Calder's and the
two children were attracted by the
exhibit and remained around watching
the bees at work. The old man, out
OF pure kindness, took some trouble
explaining to the children how the
bees work and, while talking, put his
arm round one of the children and
lifted her up so that she could better
see the bees in the hive.
