8. The university desires the assist
ance Of practical men of experience and
ability, who are found everywhere in the
State. The practical details of any in
dustry are best learned from those who
are successfully engaged in it In sug-

and address Of any such persons Of the
vicinity who would be willing to read a
paper or lead a discussion thereon.
6. Do not imagine that you can make
too much effort to arouse interest. The
object of the institute is not merely to
listen to lectures or even to discuss
them. 1t is desired through them to
awaken the farmers to a new life cause
them to take frequent counsel together,
and learn how to expend their energy
most wisely. To secure this no effort
can be too great. In this work the
women of the community will be found
most effective. They are brighter and
more alert then men, and more ener-
getic in promoting what interests them
They can often meet in committee or
otherwise when men cannot Set them

PERTINENT SUGGESTIONS
Addressed to Local Committees O1
Farmers Institutes.

The following suggestions thrown out
to the local committees of the farmers
Institutes that are being held at various
places in the State under the auspices OF
the State University are very pertinent
and worthy of more than ordinary at
tention, as the farmers will be greatly
benefited by the information to be
gained if they will turn out in good
numbers and give the lecturers proper
support:
/. 1t is your work to get out the peo-
pie. These Institutes cost large sums OF
public money for which the people are
taxed. 1t is a waste to expend this
money when but few attend A salts
dred or more.
2 This. at the beginning, can only
he accomplished by much personal eff
fort by the local committee. This ef-
fort can usually be most wisely expend-
ed as follows:
a. Speak about the institute to every
0lan. and especially to every woman
whom you meet, from the time it is pro-
posed until the day of meeting.
b. After the first or second time of
speaking To the same person, let the
form Of address be question as TO what
that person has done, or what he can
suggest to make the institute a success.
Thus you viii gradually interest every
body in the community
c. Every member OF the committee
should cali upon the editor Of every
newspaper in the district every time
he goes TO town. and talk the matter
over. Ask him to watch his exchanges
and reprint items relating to institute
work in this and other States The local
press is the very best agency available
10 awaken interest
J. The more people do for an enter
prise the more interested they become
in it. For that reason suggest and en-
courage all organized efforts to add to
the pleasure of an institute by local eff
fcrts. a good glee club in attendance,
an exhibit of flowers, fruits. agricult-
ural products or woman's work will al
ways add to the interest and bring out
members. A good lunch served each
day, either free, each one bringing his
own provision, or for the benefit of some
local object, is powerful attraction.
We are so constructed that good
dinner will attract us when a good lee
ture won't.

PACIFIC RAILROAD
FUNDING BILL.
1 Full and Consecutive Statement Of
Exact Fact.
Issue Between Refunding and Fore
closure Clearly Stated-Unpreju-
diced Judgment Appealed to.

"A bill is before Congress which pro-
poses an extension of the time for the
payment to the Government OF the
debts of the Pacific railroads. The
question of the adjustment of the rela-
tionS between the Government and the
bond aided Pacific railroads has been
before the country for nearly ten years.
1t has been made an issue in the poll
tics of the State of California 1t has
been the subject of much editorial and
oratorical discussion. The time has
now come when the Government of the
United States must take decisive ac-
tion, and the present is therefore fit
ting time for the presentation of exact
facts, with such logical inferences as
may reasonably be drawn from those
facts 1t is the sincere purpose of this
writing to present in a condensed and
consecutive way a statement of fact
which will settle all controversy and
furnish the basis for candid criticism
and just conclusions.
THE FACTS STATED.
By an Act approved July l, 1857, the
Government of the United States
granted lands in the amount of five
alternate odd numbered sections per mile
on each side of the road, and extended
the credit of the Government in the
way Of bonds to be due ait the end OF
thirty years from the date of their is
SUE This Act was subsequently amend
ed by an amendaltory Act, approved
July 2, 1864. The amendment in
creased the land grant to ten alternate
odd-numbered sections on each side of
the road per mile. The first grant of
land was for 6,400 acres TO the mile to
be found within the ten mile linlBts in
the odd-numbered sections and the
amendment increased it to l., 800 acres
to be found in odd-numbered sections
within twenty miles of the line of road.
The amending Act authorized the Gre
alton of first mortgage lien in words
as follws:
Section 10. And be 1T further enacted
that section 8 of said Act be 50 modi-
fled and amended that the Union Pa
cific Railroad Company the Central
Pacific Railroad Company, may, on
completion of each section of road, is
sue their first mortgage bonds on their
respective railroad and telegraph lines
which must not exceed the amount of
the bonds of the United States, and Of
even tenor, date time Of maturity, rate
and character of interest with the
bonds authorized to be issued by said
railroad companies respectively. And
the lien of the United States bonds
shall be subordinate TO that Of the
bonds of any or either of said compan-
les hereby authorized to be issued on
their respective roads, property and
equipment"
The land grant in aid of the con-
struction of the road was a. gift. The
bonds issued by the Government and
delivered to the Pacific railroads were
a loan of credit. In the Act of 1862 it
is provided that the issue of said
bonds and delivery to the company
shall ipso facto constitute a first mort
