Ryan, land find out whether any CO.
terie or compact can cause the public
lands OF the United States to be dis
posed Of for their particular benefit,
without any reference to constitutional
and statutory law upon the matter. We
have no kick against legitimate plan
tation enterprise and progress, but
when plantation interests try to con-
troll all the forest lands that they don't
own and can't use as a reservation &c
ensure them waterheads and water
supply, we do kick, and we do demand
that when these lands are disposed OF
it shall be under the straight and legit-
innate land laws of the United States

CASTLES IN SPAIN.

Castles in Spain, oft in my youthful pride,
When virile fancy wide spread wings hath en-,
Thy sun kissed turrets have clear described
Castles in Spain!
And if meath toll spent years, faith gan to wave,
Still gazed forth with hope, nor did chide,
Seeking stray sunbeams through the mist and rain.
Frail hopes born Stewards on the lapsing tide
Fade faint and far from me with sad refrain,
Into the falling night they softly glide.

A TELEGRAPH LINE.

Clever Trick.

When the electric telegraph was
first introduced into Chill a stratagem
was resorted 10 in order TO guard the
posts and wires against damage on
the part of the natives and TO main
tain the connection between the
strongholds on the frontier. There
were at the time between 30 and SO
captive Indians IN the Chilian camp.

tions-called them together. and.
pointing to the telegraph wires, said:

Yes. general"
II want you TO remember not To go
near or touch them. for IL you do
your hands will be held. and you will
be unable 10 get away"
The Indians smiled incredulously
Then the general made them each in
succession take hold OF the wire a.
both ends of an electric battery in
full operation. after which he ex-
claimed:
! II command you 10 let 60 the wirei''

cried each Indian.
The battery was then stopped. Not
long after the general restored them
70 liberty. giving them strict inStruc-
tions 10 keep the secret This had
the desired effect. for, as might be ex-
pected, the experience was related In
the strietest confidence TO every mai

ever since remained unmolested.

THf CITY COUNCIL.
Takes Action Against Tin Chimneys
 and Street Nuisanoes.

At the weekly" meeting of the city council last evening, at which there were present Mayor HlSlop. MesSrs. Lilly, Lau- melster and Keelar, Mir. Lilly reported from the committee on the purchase of a fire hall He said it was stated at the last meeting of the council that the old theater lot on Holly street could be purchased for sI7Oo. But Jake Rice said he would not take less than sISOo for it, and there was a man living on it who asked ssoo for his claim.
 The committee had next considered a lot belonging to Mr. Kelly near the U. z. bar racks, but Mr. Kelly was not inclined to sell, and the committee had therefore come to no definite conclusion.
 The matter was discussed, but eventu- ally postponed for the return of Mr.. Clancy on the next boat.
 Mr. Keelar then read a carefully pre- pared ordnance on the subject of flues, which makes 1t unlawful for any tin or iron flues 10 be used below Eighth avenue, all ehlmneys after September Ist to be of brick four inches thick and plasteret. Under the rule this was laid on the table for one week.
