L. s. Public Lands.

The opposition in the west to the
policy of the administration regarding
the public lands has led to the calling
of a meeting at Denver on June rs to
adopt some representative policy con-
corning public lands Already nine
governors of western states have ac-
Cepted the invitation to appoint dele
gates, and there are still five other
states to hear from, and it is expected
they will prove favorable.
The principal objection to the ROosC-
welt policy appears to be the creation
of vast forest reserves and the holding
up of final homestead entries. 1t must.
however, be remembered that the gi-
gantic land frauds have TOTced the adj
ministratiOn to take radical action to
preserve the remaining timber and coal
lands from being absorbed by corpora.
tons under the form of law, but in
many cases in Il fraudulent manner
Perhaps these representatives of the
western states can devise amendments
to the land laws that will protect the
government and settlers alike.

English eXperimenters think that
they will be able to run railroad trains
on one rail. This leads the Albany
Argus to remark that in this country
considerable already has been done in
the way of running two trains on the
same stretch of track at the same time
and part of the way on the ties.
