way Company VS.. the United States,
brought here from the circuit court for
the Ninth circuit. The case involved
about 700, 900 acres of land in Southern
California and grew out Of the fact
that the forfeited land grant Of the
Atlantic and Pacific railway was over.
Tapped to some extent by the lands
claimed under government grant BY
the Southern Pacific. The Atlantic and
Pacific company originally claimed the
lands in controversy and its original
maps Of location along the line Of these
lands were accepted by the land Office,
bat congress declared the lands for.
feited and thereupon the Southern
Pacific, whose grant overlapped that Of
.thesAtlandc and Pacific, thereupon set
up title to the lands. The circuit court,
however, decided against the Southern
Pacific and the supreme court has
affirmed that decision.

State Auditor Hs.uuu,.

A short time ago number Of the
state papers. more or less tinctured
with popocracy, were making serious
charges against State Auditor Han
mum, claiming that he had issued
warrants to Mrs. Hannum for over
500 for services for clerk hire which
had never been performed. By re-
quest of the governor the state OK.
aminer made thorough investiga-
tion of the accounts of Mr.. Han.
NUNS Office and made an official re.
port of his findings. The following
paragraph from the Jamestown Alert
gives the substance of the report:
The substance of the statement Of
both officials is that the auditor paid
for clerk hire the sum of S736.l6 to
E. B. Hannum, his wife. She was
the only regularly appointed clerk in
whose name, the auditor claims, he
was authorized by law to draw war
rants for services rendered the state.
The warrants were drawn in her
name and the money paid and re.
ceipted for by other clerks who, it is
claimed, did the work. Mrs. Han.
mum, it is admitted. has not been
acting as clerk since January last.
The reason assigned is sickness
of relatives. That is all there
is to the matter, which is
irregular and unusual, but not dis
honest, and not very important in it.
self. The press of the state that is
desirous of serving the people can
find very little in this incident worth
spending time over. The law author
ized the work done. The auditor
employed clerks to do it, and paid
for 1T but once. The technical point
of drawing the money in his wife's
name, while she was uot present to
perform the work. may be criticised
and is unbusiness like but what does
1t amonnt to? The fact that Mrs.
Hannum was employed as clerk is
open to criticism also. but what do
voters care or in what way does 1t
affect the real interests of the tax
payers! To make lot of this COM
paratively small affair is to waste
ammunition and is petty politics.
The press Of the state which desires
to do the state a service should look
elsewhere for abuses rather than
who got small sum of money the
Law authorized to be spent for clerk
hire.
