I'd sAvE Owe LANTERN.
Engineer Rust and Fireman Lynn In
vent a Labor Saving Device.

Engineer H. G. Rust and Fireman
Edward Lynn of the Santa Fe are the
inventors of a lantern attachment for
use on engine lanterns, which does
away with the Inconvenience and ex-
pense of keeping both a, red and white
lantern in the cab of an engine.
The rules of the company require
engine men to keep in the cab of the
engine, constantly ready for use, red
and white signal lanterns. The new
attachment consists of a frame on one
side of the lantern in which is placed
a slide of red glass, and by turning the
lantern from one side to another both
the red and white signal light is shown.
The red light is most frequently used
in backing engines to a train or round
house, and in tagging other trains.
The inventors have already applied
for a patent for this invention, and
when it is secured will probably take
steps to have it introduced in engine
service.

THE n. p. LAND GRANT.
Suit to Quiet Title to Tracts In Clark,
County.

Tacoma, April 16.-Special.-Receiver A.
F. Burleigh. OF the Northern Pacific Rail
road Company, through his attorneys. Ash
ton & Chapman, has filed an important
suit in the United States circuit court, in
volving title to several thousands of acres
of land In Clarke county. In all there are
about $50 defendants TO the action, and the
papers in the case were served under the
direction OF Deputy Marshal G. S. Bridges.
The purpose of the action is to quiet title
TO large amount of improved and Unirn
proved land in Clarke county, which has
either been sold to bona fide residents or
still remains the property of the company,
conveyed under the joint resolution Of cen
gress of May 81, 1870, as part OF the land
grant on the line between this city and
Portland. The defendants are divided into
two elasses-those who claim the Company
has no good title to the land and have
squatted on 1t, and those who have deeds
from the Northern Pacific. or the former
there are about 95. and the purchasers
number about $50.
When the Northern Pacific secured its
first grant from the government 1t planned
to build from Wallula down the Columbia
river to Portland. and branch line from
Wallula to this city. The line to Tacoma
was completed, but that to Portland from
Wallula was never built. alt 1ougb the COM
pany had a grant OF every alternate section
OF land for twenty miles on the WasEing-
ton side and ten miles on the Oregon side
OF the river. Subsequently the company
secured a grant of every alternate section
for twenty miles on each side of its pro-
jected line from Tacoma to Portland. The
last grant overiapped the former IN C;crke
county. The first grant was subsequently
revoked by congress, as the ine from Wal
lula was never built.
The supreme court has held that where a
grant TO a railroad company has been for
feited. any grant overlapping 1t, made to
another company at tho line of tho ex-
istence OF the first grant. becomes void
as well as the original. Il is en- this ground
that the land has been settled on by squat
tiers. 1t Is held. however, that both grar Is
being to the same company. the last grant,
which overlaps the original Is effective,
and the court is asked TO quiet title OF the
purchasers from the Northern Pacific. The
bill also asks that the squatters be for
hidden to hold the land or exercise any
rights in the premises.
Two restraining orders were asked for
and granted by the court: one restraining
the alleged squatters from trespass.ng on
the land or cutting down timber. and the
other TO prevent the purchasers from bring
Ing actions 10 recover the purchase money
from the company.
The case Is an interesting one and the
first OF Its kind in the courts OF this circuit.
Tho amount of land Is large. and much OF
II Is highly approved. The papers In the
case were prepared under the direction of
