500 Line Gets Mail Contract.

WASHINGTON, March latter long
consideration of the question of trans.
portation of mails westward from the
Twin Cities by way of the Canadian
Pacific, to which mail transfer is made
at Winnipeg, the postm aster general
has directed the transfer Of part OF the
business from the Great Northern to
the 500 line. The contest over this
contract has been waged for several
weeks. The Great Northern was am
bilious to continue carrying all the
m all, but the 500 demanded q large
hare. The decision reached is con-
sidered a compromise. 1t provides
that mails to and from the west, over
the Canadian Pacific, shall be carried
by the 500, that line connecting with
the Canadian Pacific at Winnipeg and
at the same station. All other such
mail, by way of Winnipeg, in either
direction, will continue to go over the
Great Northern.
So intense was the fight that it is
said the Can adian government made
a request to have the 500 carry the
mail, on the ground that the Domin.
ion postoffice department would es.
cape the expense of transferring the
mail in Winnipeg between the Cana.
dian Northern and Canadian Pacific
station, as we'll as insuring connec.
tions in that city.
The change in route decided upon
will effect a saving for the United
States, as it has paid rental for
cars in addition to the weight of the
mail carried. The 500 will be paid
only for the weight of the mails, tina,
road using a railway poetoftice car
and the Great Northern its own cars
the latter being rented to the govern
meut.

iugs, who was in the city during the
closing days of congress. He said
there are hundreds Of thousands of
acres OF range land that are not fit
for anything except grazing and If
the proposed legislation is approved
it will lease to the homesteaders what.
ever part of the open range they can
use with q profit. ''This will not only
help them in raising stock but will
provide revenue to the government
from lands which are now paying
nothing" he said.

INJURIES THE WEST,
Wyoming Congressman Describes Ef.
feet Of Withdrawal Of Land.

WASHINGTON, March l. - Many
western members of both the house
and senate believe that the irrigation
fund is threatened and settlement
somewhat discouraged by the with.
drawal of coal and other lands from
entry and the orders that no patents
shall issue until they shall have been
investigated by special agents.
Notwithstanding there is no doubt
that many frauds have been committed
in the public land business, there is q
disposition to question the Wholesale
policy of Withholding patents when
there has been no evidence sadduced
OF wrongdoing.
The point of special interest in the
irrigation land states is the effect
which will inevitably be brought on
the irrigation fund by the stoppage of
entries, and the consequent ceasing of
the income from the fees collected
therefrom. Representative Mondell,
of Wyoming, has prepared some fig
ures which fortify his views on the
subject, which are doubtless held by
other members from the western states.
He said:
1.-THE irrigation fund received last
fiscal year "a, 800, 900. OF this s277,.
600 was from the sale of coal lands,
and, while the order of last July has
been modified so as to except from its
application all entries filed prior to
the issuance of the order, no further
entries may be made so long as the
order stands.
"This will greatly reduce the income
from this source, while drastic and
far.reaching orders relating to exam
ination in the field before patents
shall issue will delay the issuance o,
such patents and discourage settlers
"Still greater loss to the nationa
irrigation fund will result if congress-
carries out the suggestion of the presi
dent in his recent land message advo
eating the repeal OF certain land laws
Last year the sale of timber and stone
lands brought in a revenue of S741,
600; coal lands, S277, 200: desert lani
act, $403, 900; under the comutatior
clause of the homestead land, 81, ,803,
600. These four laws brought %, ,224,
600 of the total OF 81, 800, 900 whicl
came to the irrigation fund. Hat
these laws not been in oper alton, bu
repealed as suggested by the presi
dent, the irrigation reclamation fun,
would have had only l,576, 900 in tn
last fiscal year.
"Because of these facts and becaus
l believe that the repeal of these law
would retard the development and pre-
vent the completion of projects al
ready begun by the federal reclama
tion service, I announced my opposi
tion to the recommend ations of Presi
dent Roosevelt for the repeal of tn
desert land law, the timber and ston
law and the Communication clause O
the homestead act, and coal land leg
islation which would inevitably re
tard development of the coal fields a
a time when the western states are sui
fering from fuel shortage and the sur
ply is far short of the demand

S. 600 VERDICT AGAINST
FATHER-IN-LAW

New York, Nov. 2.-Sallie Bailey Coch-
ran. wife OF Ernest Cochran, who sued
her father-in-law, Richard Cochran, a
wealthy linen and lace importer OF Bay
onne. N. j., to recover $4,000 damages for
the alienation OF her husbands affections,
got a verdict OF $500 I'm the supreme court
In Brooklyn last evening.
The couple were secretly married In the
Old John Street Methodist Episcopal
church, Manhattan, on Sept 20. 1903. Sallie
subsequently told her mother OF the mar
riage, but Ernest did not let his father
know OF 1t until his father wanted him to
go out OF town.
Then the father, according to the testi-
mony, went to the girls home and asked
her to kneel and pray with him about the
matter. She refused TO do so. and said
she did not want any prayers. but wanted
her husband. She also said that because
she worked for a living In a dry goods
store her father-in-law believed she was
not socially the equal OF her husband.
Today the young husband testified that
he loved his wife until he went West, and
then he forgot all about her.
Mr.. Cochran says he will appeal from
the verdict.
