RAILROAD GRANT
MAY Be BUSTED
SETTLERS SEEK TITLE
TO U. T.. HOLDINGS.
Dishonesty and Graft of Congress Has
Deprived Actual Settlers of Homes
on the Public Domain-Northern
Pacific Railroad Given an Empire
of Land Between st. Paul and Sc
attlc-Casc Soon to BE Tried In
Boise.

A land trial of national Importance
is coming off in Boise City at the next
session of the district court in thta
city. Title to the entire holdings of
the Northern Pacific which have been
acquired thru congressional dshon-
esty and graft in the past, will be
questioned and the rights of over $50
actual settlers on the disputed lands
will be determined.
The United States government gave
the Northern Pacific an empire of ex-
cellent land lying between st. Paul
and Seattle, as grant, when the road
was bilt In addition to assisting in
bilding the road Ia other ways, and
today this land is extremely valuable
and repeated attempts have been made
by needy settlers to secure title to
lands included In this grant.
The case will finally be tried at
Boise In the near future. A dispatch
from Boise says:
Title to millions of dollars worth
of valuable timber land In this state
is directly involved in the outcome of
a case filed in the district court here
today by Richard d. Miller VS.. the
Northern Pacific Railroad company.
Points are raZed in the case which
If won, will invalidate the entire hold
ings of the Northern Pacific Railway
company between this city and st.
Paul and give the management to
other hands.
Miller seeks primarily to establish
his claim to certain land within the
boundaries of timber already patent
ed by the Northern Pacific company.
In his argument he attacks the or
ganzatlon of the Northern Pacific
Railway company, contending that II

railroad company's selections by the

If the case is won by the plaintiff
on this point, over $50 settlers will
acquire title to lands which they a
few years ago had to give UP to the
railroad company. The contention
that the Northern Pacific Railway
company is not the legal successor to
the Northern Pacific Railway compa-
ny, is based on the same provizions
put forth by similar suit filed in
Spokane last week.

Hon. J. L. Hubbell, of Apache county and an ardent advocate of joint statehood and a prominent re- publican in an interview with an Albuquerque newspaper, and after q trip through Arizona, declares that there is no hope of carrying joint statehood in Arizona. He states that the joint statehood issue will not receive fifteen per cent of the vote of Arizona. Mr. Hubbell is an observant man and in political affairs his judgment has always been good. He will still advocate joint statehood, but will not go out side of his party to do so.

Found Skeleton

Sanford Rowe, who is developing some mining claims out near the Grand Canyon, reports the finding of a skeleton during ther excavating. It seems that tree, evidently some four hundred years old, was in the way, and it being necessary to blast out the stump to carry on the work, it was done. At depth of about six feet immediately under the roots of the tree, a skeleton of a man was found. The bones were in a good state of preservation, evideatly so from the presence of the copper, a large body benig found at the spot. There has been a good deal of speculation as to what race the skeleton belonged, as while the limbs and trunk bones were of normal size, it is stated that the head was of very peculiar shape.

Concrete houses cast in a single

Concrete houses cast in a single mold are coming soon, according to Thomas A. Edison, the invent or. He says he is going to get up some steel molds that can be clamped together to receive the concrete which when hardened will form a complete house with chim- neys and plumbing all in one place. The job of building a house by this plan would take less than two weeks instead of several months as is re- quired for ordinary houses and the cost would be only about $500. Edison has made concrete chicken houses of several apartments to partly demonstrate the feasibility of the scheme.

Because some sheep men of Apache county are sore at the treatment, just or unjust, accorded them by southern counties in the matter of grazing them out is no reason, says Plain Talk. why they should want to tear the territory up by the roots and throw it over into New Mexico in the hope that they will get better treatment at the hands of their neighbor. Southern counties don't appreciate being grazed out any better that we do and are scarcely to be blamed in taking such steps as will protect their interests. They are only do- ing what Apache county has done in the matter of excluding the sheep of othera territories.

The republicans are exceedingly fortunate in the selection of chair man and secretary of the territorial central committee, says the Repub- lican. MT. Penney has been identi- fled with Arizona for a great many years and has always been promi- nent in business and political affairs. He is not only represen- tative man himself, but is associat- ed with those who are part and parcel of the business element of the territory, conservative yet ag- gressive. He stands high among his fellow townsmen in Tucson and is well known throughout every county. George Mauk, the new secretary, has spent the greater part of his life here and is one of the most energetic of the younger men in the party. His business in for mer years has taken him into every county and he is we'll posted on pre- vailing conditions, politically as well as industrially, and is a good organizer. It is hoped the commit tee will be equally as successful in the naming of vice chairman and assistant secretary.

Naturalization Papers

There are no doubt number of foreigners in Coconino county in- tending to become citizens of the United States who have delayed ap- plying for their first papers. These persons are advised that they have time only to the 27th of the present month, September, to declare their intentions under the existing laws. Upon the first papers the new law has no operation until that time. But after September 27th such persons only can be admitted to citizenship who can speak the Eng fish language with sufficient fiuency to satisfy the court as to their fit- ness for citizenship. It should be further observed that there are many foreigners who have taken out their first papers several years ago and who have neglected to become naturalized. All these old declar- ations of intentions of citizenship dating back for seven years have TO longer any validity. Hence the ne cessity of taking out new papers be- fore September 27th on the part of such foreigners as feel their inabil- ity to stand the exami nation that may be given to them by the judges of the federal courts or cross ex- animation that may be propounded to them by the United States dis trict attorney, who has the right, under the new law, to examine the applicant. The new law was enact ed by congress to put stop to the gross frauds that were being per petrated, under the guidance of un- scrupulous machine politicians, in the east. It behooves those wEo have not taken out their first papers, and wish to do so under the old law, to move in the matter as the time is rapidly drawing to a close and save themselves the rigid ex- animation that may be given to them under the new law.

The new naturalization law goes into effect on September 28. There are a number of persons in this county who desire to become citi- zens of the United States and they should take the opportunity to be- come such at the September term of court to be held next week.

She Had Kind Neiehbors.

When Miss Jenkins, after spend
ing ffty-six years in the city of
her birth, decided to buy a small
farm in the country, she deter
mined to miss none of the delights
of farming life. A Boston paper
tells of her unique wisdom.
IN going to have a steady
horse and two cows and some
hens, she announced to her broth
er, to whom she proudly displayed
her new property. The Adams
boy from the next house will help
me about everything. He'll drive
the cows and milk, and teach me
how to harness. and, of course, I
shall feed the hens ard the little
pig"
The little pig" echoed her
brother. DO you propose to
keep a pig? And where, I should
like to know"
There's room for a small pig
pen back of the barn, away from
the road and everything" said
Miss Jenkins calmly. Mr.. Adams
has some cunning little pigs, and
that is what I wish. And I asked
the Adams boy if he thought when
the pig had outgrown the pen l
could find some one to take him
and give ME another little one in
exchange, and he seemed sure
could. You've no idea, brother,
how obliging the people are here
in the country. Selected.

one who is innocent of any wrong
