AGAINST THE RAILROAD.
Right of Way Case Decided Adversely
to the Northern Pacific.


SPOKANE. Wash. Nov. 21.-Judge
Prather has rendered an oral decision
in the matter of the Northern Pacific
claim to 200 feet on each side Of the
track as its permanent right Of way that
determines the main question at issue IN
this celebrated litigation. The case in
wolves the title to real estate the value
Of which is said to aggregate millions.
The claim Of the company rests on the
contention that. once granted 200 feet
on each side Of its track through the
public domain as right Of way, no part
of this property could ever be taken up
or disposed Of.
The decision Of the court is in effect
that except for a strip Of land actuall
needed for its right Of way the pubic
can acquire full title TO the remainder
by adverse possession if the railroad
fails 70 make use of ii. Just how much
would reasonably be held TO be neces-
sary for the safe operation Of trains the
court did not decide. but ii held that
the entire 400 feet could not be pre-
sumed to be necessary. The railroad
company will appeal from this decision
TO the supreme court.

a jury was given publicly. The fact Of
conviction and Imprisonment was
spread broadcast throughout the COM
naunity He has suffered all that it is
possible to suffer from wide publicity
given to public accusation, and fl ON
wide publicity given to the convicting
testimony against him.
Now the Council of State finds he is
innocent, and the prison doors open for
him. But is that enough? Ought not
make clear his innocense be given as
much publicity as those which brought
conviction. The public knows the CIR
cumstances against him, or which at
the time seemed against him, but it
knows nothing about this newly discov-
cred evidence that shows his innocence.
Is the Council of State doing its whole
duty by an innocent man when it mere
ly opens the prison doors for him, but
fails to make public the facts that
would remove the stigma of disgrace
caused by the sworn testimony at the
trial.

rights the public may have, does not

NEW NAVAL PLANS.

Congressman George Foss of Chi
cagO, is one of the young Congressman
who has established position and rep
utation in Congress for himself. When
he went to Congress he interested him
self in naval matters He studied the
subject and soon became an authority
On it. He took up the question of rank
and service in the navy which had been
left in an unsatisfactory condition by
previous legislation, and framed the
Navy Personnel Bill. This bill was the
most genuinely approved of among
naval officers that probably was ever
draw up for them 1t remedied a num-
Der of old abuses that had grown up. 1t
was an act of justice and equality to
engineer officers in the navy. With
yreat tact patience and persistence,
Foss worked the bill through Congress
and at the end of the session was one of
the few men who had accomplished what
they set out to. Identified with the
Navy Personnel Bill Congressman Foss
was recognized as having much knowl-
edge of naval matters. He went TO
Europe the PAST summer, where his pos
ition and reputation gave him oppor-
tunities to study naval matters which
few Americans get. He has returned
with an increased enthusiasm for the
American navy and a lot of new ideas
in regard to it. Some of these he pro-
poses to embody in legislation. He
wants a Naval Policy Board at the head
of which Admiral Dewey shall be,
which shall report and recommend a
comprehensive plan for the enlargement
of the navy along lines that will build

China must be feeling the influence
of the worlds progress. Consul General
Goodnow at Shanghai, writes that thai
city offers good market for automo-
biles. He says the character of the
streets is such as to encourage riding
and driving, and that as matter Of
fact much riding and driving is doAe.
The Chinese he says take kindly to our
mechanical devices and readily buy au-
tOmobiles if they see them actually in
operation They cannot be sold by de-
scription as the Chinese have seen so
few new things they cannot exert their
imagination to picture the appearance
of a machine from a description.
