sequent throwing back on the market Of
a large amount of public land, brought
about considerable difficulty between
claimants who fad gone on land with
view to making title under the railroad.
ana the settlers who sought to enter the
same under the public land laws; in
which, of course, the settlers were finally
successful.
The most important cases which have
arisen, however, were those between the
railroads and the settlers on ''lieu lands"
particularly in Eastern Washington. From
the political standpoint. that lieu land
controversy was In great measure respon-
sible for the rise and growth of Populism
in whitman county. Under the terms Of
the railroad land grant there was tract
ten miles wide set apart along the line of
the main land grant, within the limits OF
which the railroad was entitled to make
selections in lieu of lands within the
limits of the main grant lost to the COM
pany by reason of prior locations. The
land office withheld all OF this lieu land
from settlement and entry. The settlers
claimed the right 10 enter II up to the
time when the railroad made its particu-
lar selections, tract by tract. Over this
question the warfare was waged in the
land office for nearly a quarter of a CEN
fury. with the result of many conflicting
decisions The last congress finally dis
posed of the whole matter by an act CIV
ing the land to the settlers In actual pos
session. and permitting the railroad to
make selections elsewhere out of the pub
lie domain. in full satisfaction of its
grant, settlement which the railroads
accepted.
1t was one OF the minor results of the
long continuance of this controversy that
1t actually redounded to the financial adj
vantage of the settlers who embarked on.
1t. They remained in possession of the
lands which they sought to enter during
the whole period that the controversy
ragged. and gradually brought them all un-
der fence and into cultivation. They were
debarred, during the continuance of the
litigation. from receiving title to their
lands, and consequently were unable to
cucumber them with liens or mortgages.
Neither were they called upon to pay
taxes upon lands the title to which re-
manned In the United States. AS result
of the final settlement they received titles
to their homes, and were free from the
burdens of the mortgage indebtedness
which swampedA so many other farmers
during the hard times. OF course the in
ability to borrow on their lands made the
matter of bringing them into cultivation
difficult, and compelled the settlers to
some privations from which they
might otherwise have been exempt. It
also forced them to compulsory adop-
tion OF the thrifty practice of abstaining
from mortgaging their future earnings.

The Marshal ought to explain the
reason OF his apparent persecution
of the French women who are here
under a law which makes them semi
licensed, as long as they conform
with the rules of the Board OF
Health. Since the great fire these
unfortunate women have heen driven
from pillar to post and dragged into
the Court and cast into Jail. Five
OF them we're brought into the Po-
lice Court to answer the ridiculous
charge Of being common prostitutes,
an accusation that they cannot
deny, but which should not be pun
ishable under existing conditions.
The women, we understand, lived
on River and Pauahi streets. when
the official fire laid their shelters in
ashes. For a while they found a
roof over their heads in the Punch
bowl district, but they were driven
thence as the residents would not
tolerate them near their homes and
families. 1t was very proper OF the
! fathers of families to take the step,
and after looking for some place to
live in the unfortunates were locat-
ed on Richards street, makai Of
