BATTLE FOR R. R.
LANDS TO BEGIN
Special Prosecutor to Arrive
Soon to Take Up Proceed
inss In r. R. Land Test

Hon. W. Q. Hawley, our represen-
tative in Congress, has been advised
by wire that S. d. Townsend. Of
Fargo. N. D.. would arrive within a
few days to commence the proceed
ings which the U. S. department of
Justice will undertake, to enforce the
terms of the railroad land grant Of tie
s. P. in Oregon.
In view of the possible action of
Congress with regard to these lands
and the questions of what definition
the courts might place upon the
phrase "actual settl ers" in cases in
volving lands valuable only for tim
Der, grazing or mineral purposes, the
act of Congress forfeiting lands taken
under similar conditions by the N. P.
r. R. is interesting
By an act of Congress September 20,
1880. there was declared forfeited to
the United States all lands thereto
fore granted to any state or to any
corporation to aid in the construction
Of railroad, where the terms of the
grant had not been complied with.
This act provided that all persons who
at the date of the passage Of the act,
we're actual settlers in good faith on
the Land forfeited, should have the
right to claim them under the home
stead law and they should be regarded
as actual settlers, from the date Of
actual settlement or occupation. The
act further provides that where per-
sons had settled said lands with .
bona 6de intent to secure title there
70. by purchase from the state or the
corporation. that they should be en-.
titled to purchase the lands from the
United States and that the United
States upon being paid for said lands,
should make a patent to the actual
settlers
Subsequent to that act of forfeiture
and on January 90, 1895, Congress
passed law Amendatory of the act
|forfeiting such railroad lands by sd-
ding to the said act or forfeiture the
following proviso:
Providing that actual residence
upon lands by persons claiming the
right to purchase the same is not re-
quired, where such lands have been
fenced, cultivated, or otherwise i'm
proved by such grants "
1t Will be noticed that under this
act all that is necessary is for the set.
tler to have fenced the lands, cult.
vated them, or otherwise improved
them. While this is law. and not u
court decision. it goes long way in
suggesting the radical difference be-
tween an actual settler within the
purview of the homestead law and sn
actual settler for the purpose of pur.
chasing lands of railroad.

hard and fast rule that fits a great variety Of
conditions 1t has its exceptions and must not
be used slavishly 1t is valuable as a check 70
the Judgment and as suggesting d figure of value
for subsequent consideration by the judgment
and for comparison with concrete instances.
There are cases where the front half of the
lot is worth more or less than two-thirds OF the
value Of the whole. These variations from the
rule are appeals to the judgment of expert
ence. The most common form Of small parcel
of land is that which has a full depth Of l0O
feet. but width less than p feet. The build
ers of private residences divide large plot
into such small parcels-the very familiar forms
of these are l5xl0O. 16sx10O 1S9x10o and
2Ox100
The valuation Of lots that have a frontage OF
less than % feet and a depth of less than
100 feet is a difficult task. Common forms OF
such lots are 23x75 20x50, 2Ox75, 2ox6O. 20xoo'
1S9x75 16Sx7J and 1S9x50. If the unit of
value be $4,000. what is the value Of 1S.9xoO?
VALUATIONS fsuch parcels submit to no RUE
other than the usual one Of availability.
For instance. II may be said to be true beyond
question that a lot 20x60 which contains 1,2UU
square feet is worth less than one 20X5O which
contains approximately the same area, because
Of the loss from the more valuable dimension.
The Hoffman rule says 25XJO in area or half
lot Is worth 67 per cent of the value of a fNl
lot then 2Ox60. which is practically half a
lot, must be worth less than 81 per cent of the
value of a full lot,
Let us suppose full lot to be worth $4,000.
Then. 25x50, containing 1850 square feet. IS
worth 81 per cent of $4,000, or $4,000. Now,
frontage is more valuable in proportion than
depth and though in the lot 2Ox60 the depth
is increased 10 feet, while the frontage Is de-
creased but > feet. the one is 10 feet in 100
while the other is , feet in only % feet The
one is a 10 per cent increase in depth against a
20 per cent increase in width.
Hence. though by area the lot 20x60 would be
worth the same as 25x50, it is really worth con-
sideraby less because the loss is proportionally
greater in the most valuable dimension.
How much less is it worth on this account? It
is something gained TO know that it is worth
less than $4,000 or 81 per cent of the unit
Is 20X60 worth 60 per cent OF the unit, or
$4,000 or 30 per cent of the unit, or $500?
The value probably lies between these figures,
and this narrows the question OF Judgment down
to difference of $500. Recourse Is then had
to the records of transfers and to Judgment of
others"

plaintiffs at sum less than the amount of the
liens against the properties, and for the par
GELS at voluntary sale there were many buyers

Fraternity. No Yale man asks new
acquaintance-wha is your fraterni-
typ but-'what is your college2'
"One of the most unnecessary and
pitiful retentions of the gospel-ministry
days is the marking system. 1t is out
of place in a college; in a university il
is pitiful. That young men who are of
sufficient age and intelligence to attend
a university and receive a degree at
graduation, are to be marked in a lit
tie book, kept by the professors, for
making a good or bad recitation for be-
ing tardy or prompt, and for deport-
ment, is humiliating for the marker and
fof tho markee. 1t Is relic of the
sharp featured school marin and the
little red schoolhouse, and some of the
professors are sufficiently courageous
to give verbal expression to this genti-
ment. If young man comes TO Yale
University and wastes his time, that is
his business The only matter that
should concern the university is, to inn
part al much knowledge on the sub
jects studied as possible, to require that
definite degree of knowledge of the
