Stole March on the Railroad Co.

Through AN error made by raiIrond
surveyors several years ago the Southern
racine company has lost possession OF a
valuable tact OF land at Humboldt
House. Homer Winters and CharI. :
Webster have filed "A homestead ON IN.
lahd and the railroad company now
stands III the position OF trcsrasser.
The land lice along the company's ri hit
o!-Say, just opposite tho hotel buildupe
AT Humboldt liousc, aud Winters aud
webster have erected tent saloon ni.
are doing business III defiance of tie.
Southern Pacific. Part Of the disput. q,
land If planted in alfalfa and the con.
pany will probably find itesf loser a
good sized hay crop as wei! ns the land
winch is under fence.
In making the Original survey the
company surveyors started from the
wrong section corner and the lines were
run fully Il quarter Of a mile out OF the
way. Through some source Winters
and Webster found out the mistake
which had been made and Few weeks
aSO flied homestead on the eighty
acres of land which the railroad was
supposed To own. The right of Winters
and Webster to the land was established
this week by II JOINT survey made 10y
County Surveyor Barnes and J. G. Bell
Il railroad civil engineer. They found
whore the Original error had been made
and TINT the railroad company has no
tile to the land claimed by the willy
sal loOnmcn.
So Hs tho matter stands a saloon is
running full blast within short dis
tance OF the Humboldt House station
aud the company can do nothing to stop
them and stanJa to lose a crop OF hay as
well, unless it buys the booze mill and
the eighty acres OF lnnd.--llumboldt

SurpriSinu Results,

Tho Rcv. Henry g. Kinney, rector Of
Holy Trinity Church, Chicago, writing
to the "Chicago Sunday Tribuue,- eays:
81 have taken the census returns Of
l2O citiee Of the United States, tho
number Of saloons to the population OF
each, the number OF arrests for drunken
uess and for crime, and | am prepared
TO say that the arrests made in these
cities have no relation to the number OF
saloons IN them.
81 took eleven citice, for instance,
which had no licensed saloons and lnv-
'nR total population Of G00,l55. As
against theec | set of five citiee having
total Of 75l 1854 inhabitants, aud with
an average OF % saloons 10 each 0,0OO
Of population.
"ln tho first group, having no licensed
snlCons and l5l 600 fewer people,
found nm average OF 202 arrests for
drunk and disorderly conduct in each
10000 Uf population, M against liz in
tho 10000 IN the group OF cities having
licensed saloons. In each 10, 900 popu-
lation in tho unlicenscd group there
were 81 81 more arrests for drunkenness
mud l23 more arrests for crime than
found where liquor wGs licensed III SO
many plnccs.
Il have taken official figures only.
and present results that cost me most
Of my surplus time through period OF
two nonths. have only to say OF them
that they prove beyond challenge that
there ia no ttaccablc connection bel woen
the number OF ealoOns in tho cities and
the crime records Of those placcs.'

Nearly half OF the railroad mileage Of
the world Is in the United States.
The races Of the world are numbered
at II, making use OF 1903 different
tongues. There are about 1000 rel-
gions.
Hotel men say that some Of the larger
New York hostelries Use at least $50 900
u year by the raids OF souvenir hunters
and the petty thefis Of guests. 1t does
not take long for the losses to mount
into the thousands when towels cost sG
and napkins 81 Il dozen, and the
demitasse spoons 60 cents and the small
coffee cups from So cents to 81 each az
wholesale.
1t is calculated that London produces
$1,000 tons OF SCOT yearly, which would
be worth rs fertilizer about s225 900.
There are always 30 tons OF SCOT sus-
pended above London in the form OF
smoke.
One Of the signs OF growth III our
postal system appears in the employ
ment OF women. Up to 1862 women
had never been employed in the service.
Then they were admitted to the dead
letter ollice-eight Of them. Now OF
the ll9o employees in the departme nt i'll
Washington 800 are women, and there
are in the whole country 1900 women
employed, generally in the stamp de-
livery or money order offices, and recev-
ing salaries running from SIO0 to Sl700
