tiers who desire obtain title railroad granted land
under the and conditions laid down by congress in
the original The purpose of those grants
settlement the public we'll

lands should be sold Ito actual settlers only greater
than $3.50 The Southern Pacific contends Oregon
and likewise in California that absolute title in fee simple

they get withhold the
sell for indefinite period
Very much the policy has been pursued by the Southern
Pacific California and retards settlement development
OF the country simple reading of the congress shows
that title in fee simple passed 1t merely conditional
for specific purpose The railroad
trustees to that purpose which they now, always
ignore They have usurped ownership that never was
granted them.
Groups OF intending settlers cooperating Oregon
bring suit compel the Southern Pacific sell granted
lands accordance with the of congress-
expensive and technical fight being lawyers

through its department of justice should take hold
and bring suit compel the Southern Pacific cond

How Mission Dolores
Came to Be Named

Editor Call-Sir: The Insider, who
wrote SO feelingly in regard to histor-
ical accuracy, makes many mistakes in
his article on city nomenclature. l will
notice one statement. In giving the
origin of the name Dolores as applied
to the mission he states that when the
first soldiers made their appearance on
the hills they came upon a number of
Indian women washing at a lake. The
women were SO terrified at the sight
of the soldiers that they began to cry
and lament and the soldiers In conse-
duence named the place Laguna de los
Dolores.
I will offer this corrections: In March.
1776, Colonel Auza rode up from Mon
terey with a small escort for the pur-
pose of selecting sites for the presidio
and mission of San Francisco. On Fri
day, March 20, he came to beautiful
little rivulet flowing down from the
hills to lake in a fertile valley. Here
he determined to plant the mission. and
the day being the Friday of Sorrows
(Viernes de- Dolores-Good Friday). .

-HE new. east and west bound
transcontinental association tariff
is ready for publication and the
California rates are all filled in
and the proofs are in the hands of the
printer The rates to and from north
Pacific coast terminal points, Portland
Seattle and Tacoma, are not yet ready
as it has not been decided just how
to carry the rates to the intermediate
territory between st. Paul and the Pa
cific coast states. The members of the
association are discussing the best form
of tariff with view of taking such
rates out of the traHscontinental asso-
citation tariffs and using separate
tariff for that territory. There are also
certain prominent commodities where
discussion is being had about the adj
justment of rates, and the members
have not yet decided what to do, and
until they do decide, the California lines
cannot well publish their tariffs, be-
cause 1t is absolutely necessary for
California to have the same rates as
the north coast. The members of the
association expect to reach final de-
cision before the end OF the month.
The transcontinental lines think that
1t is going to be the most complete
and up to date OF any tariff in America,
and may come nearer to the require
ments Of the interstate commerce COM
mission than in any other section of
the country. The transcontinental tar
IFS cover all the territory In America
east Of the Rocky mountains. With
the new tariff will be list of points
on all roads to and from which the
tariff applies and the rate basis whicn
each point takes, and the railroad on
which II is located. so that to find a
rate from any eastern point to Cali
fornia you look for the point in the
list and will find reference to the rate
il takes. Any merchant can look ZIP
his own rate and be perfectly certain.
If there is no rate from the point it
will be shown. and when the railroad
Is shown opposite the point 1t will i'm
dicate that that road is q party to the
tariff. No railroads will be shown as
serving the points. unless they are
parties to the tariff.

Young "Fitz" Lee, Son Of General
Fitzhugh Lee

WASHINGTON Herald; Capt. Fitz-
hugh Lee, Jr., "son Of his father" is
now. and has been for three years, one
of President Roosevet's military aids,
his duties, OF course, being strictly
social. Capt. Lee was given COM
mission as second lieutenant in the
regular army by President Mckinley at
tie beginning OF the war with Spain,
and was assigned to duty on the staff
of his father, who commanded the Sew
enth Army Corps.
His appointment by President Nc
Kinley was to the infantry arm OF the
service. but he secured transfer to the
cavalry after the close of the war.
There is not the remotest physical re-
semblance between Capt. Lee ard his
famous father, though companions who
have served with the young man In the
Philippines say that he possesses the
genuine Lee spirit of the soldier. He
showed the grit that is In him before
he had an opportunity to enter the
army by securing position as laborer
in the machine shops Of the Pennsyl'
vania Railroad at Altoona, where he
began at the bottom to work his way
up.
When he was called TO Washington
by President Mckinley to receive APP
pointment to the army the palms Of
his hands bore evidence Of the hard
labor to which he had been applying
himself for months, and the President
made note of this as sign OF that
stamina which would make him good
soldier. Captain Lee is one of the
handsomest officers in the army, and II
recognized leader of Washington''

Has Southern Broken with Hal
timOre & Ohio!

A dispatch from Harrisonburg says:
The Southern Railway rade a change
in schedule several days ago that broke
connection with Baltimore and Ohio
morning passenger trains, and left dis
gruntled passenger from Lexington and
Stanton stranded at the station.
The interruption Of connection was
brought to the attention OF the State
Corporation Commission and the con
nection Is now being made. 1t is not
known whether the Commission made
any order in the matter or not, but il
is thought that the reference OF the
trouble to the Commission caused the
renewal Of the connection. 1t cannot
be stated whether the Southern ana
Baltimore and Ohio will be called be-
fore the Commission for any readjust'
mont OF schedule or not.
The Baltimore and Ohio train now
leaves Lexington very early in the
morning, and Staunton, too, at an IN
comfortably early hour. Ii the Balti
more and Ohio meet the change desil eC
by the Southern, the b. & o. moIning
train will have to leave Stanton ant
Lexington even earlier. This would
not meet the desires of the people. Tb'
people favor the b. & o. retaining the
existing schedule, rather than an earle
one. and the b. e. O. desire no change
