NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILWAY is
BUSY RESERVlNG TRACTS UN-
DER THE LAND GRANT ACT.
Very truly yours,
W. w. Adams.

Renewed activity is being shown by
the Northern Pacific in locating and
securing for itself land to which 1t is
entitled, according to the grant made
by the government at the time the
charter was issued and at latter dates.
Employees of the road are visiting the
various government land offices and
looking up vacant land lying in the
vicinity of their line, with view to
securing it for their road says the st.
Paul Dispach.
Officials of the road state that the
extensive forest reserves recently set
aside by the government in the states
Of Minnesota, Idaho and Oregon have
so reduced the area Of the land from
which they expected to make selections
that they have felt it necessary to
make every effort to secure all they
could.
At the time the Northern Pacific
was chartered the federal government
gave to the road a land grant which
embraced every alternate section IN a
tract extending twenty miles on each
side of the line throug h the states OF
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Oregon, and
forty miles each side in the then terri
tories Of Dakota, Montana, Idaho and
WASHINGTON. To indemnify the road
for any losses which might accrue
from the land within the original
grant having already been taken up by
settlers, or being set aside for indian
reservation, the road was to be al.
lowed to select an additional strip OF
land extending ten miles further
whenever necessary.
By an act passed May 30, 1870, the
grant was extended ten miles more on
each side, to provide for losses in the
original grant between the time it was
made and the time the land was sur
veyed and definitely located.
-. Still another 10-mile strip was added
to the land from which the road might
select to make up for the losses due to
the finding of large tracts OF mineral
land within the old grant, which the
road was prohibited from appropriate
ing.
! It is under the provision Of this last
named extension that employees Of the
land department of the Northern Pa
cific are now working to secure more
land, and it is this activity that has
led to report that the road had been
given an additional grant at the last
, session of congress through a "joke'.
Cup to within the past few years
the Northern Pacific has been resting
easy in the matters of land, believing
that with all the land open to it there
+ would be little difficulty in securing
; all the land to which the road was en-
titled, said an official today, but
since the Western country has been
settling up so rapidly and so much
land has been set aside by the govern
ment for forest reserves and 1nian re.
servat1ons the road mas been mapping
stenuous endeavors to locate all the
land possible. AS it is under the most
favorable conditions the road will be
some 5000, 600 acres shy on its
grant,

healthful environment in boyhOOd.
Bryan attended the public schools in
Salem until he was fifteen, when he
entered Whipple academy at Jackson
vile, III. Two years later he matricu-
lated in Illinois college, in the same
city, from which institution he was
graduated with donors at the age of
twenty-one. During his college course
his oratorica] abilities made him prom
inent In middle western collegiate life.
he won the honor of representing his
school in the state contest Of college
orators He won that contest and rep
resented Illinois in 1881 at the inter
state oratorical contest, held at Gales
burg, ILL.,, where he achieved second
honors He was class orator at gradu-
alton.
Jacksonville has a female seminary.
In that school Miss Mary E. Baird was
student while young Bryan was In
Illinois college. She was from Perry,
ILL.,, and was of excellent family and
IN ambitious student. A bright young
man and a bright young woman at
tending college in the same town some
times emphasize the aphorism that ike
attracts lks. Perhaps that explains
why Bryan, after attending the Union
Law college in Chicago and reading
law at the same time in the Office Of
Judge Lyman Trumbull, the celebrated
associate Of Abraham Lincoln, re-
turned to Jacksonville to begin the
practice of his profession. Bryan and
Miss Baird were married shortly after
his return. Mrs. Bryan studied law In
order to assist her husband In hts pro-
fessional work. After the Bryans re-
moved to Lincoln. Neb., in 1887 MIS-.
Bryan was admitted to the bar. Mr.
Bryan became Junior partner In the
law firm Of Talbot & Bryan. He be-
lieved there was more opportunity for
q rising young lawyer in new state
q belief assuredly we'll grounded in his
own case.
Bryan plunged into politics IN the
sprinx Of 1888, and that became hts life
vocatm instead of the law. He was
elected delegate to the Dezneerat3c
state convention at Omaha, where he
made a speech strongly advocating
free trade; 2]se he made a reputatt1n
as q speaker. He was only twenty
eight years old, yet the very next Tsar

FOR
RAWHIDE BANK

GOLDFIELD, Aug. 11.--Another
echo of the financial troubles at Raw
hide was heard in Judge Langan's
court yesterday, when Frank ]. Cav
anaugh was appointed receiver for
the First Bank of 'Rawhide. The
court fixed his bonds at $4,000. The
judge also formally declared the in
stitution in liquidation. The applica-
ton for liquidation was heard by
Judge Langan some time ago, but the
formal orders were not entered until
yesterday.
President Prentice reported that
the liabilities of the bank were in the
vicinity of $4,000 at the time of the
failure, but this is not likely to be
verified by the developments, as the
deposits alone run close to $35, 900,
without considering certificates of de-
post or the claims of stockholders
One prospect is listed for a loan OF
$4,000, which would have been going
it pretty strong on a conservative
basis, with a loan of $1,000. Mr.
Cavanaugh's petition was signed by
depositors representing $4,000. The
only other applicant was A. A. Codd
Mr.. Cavanaugh came from Denver
where he was manager of the Posta
Telegraph Gable company, and fol
some time conducted an undertaking
establishment in Goldfield, after
wards casting his fortunes with thu
Rawhide district. He is interested
in the Miller lease on the Hooligal
Hill, on the Coalition property, wher
he is associated with Thomas Kerns
J. R. Meeker and M. d. Reay. Las
week these men made one shipmen
of thirty-eight and one-half tons t
the Gates mill, which yielded a.
average of $42 per ton. They sen
another shipment of fifty tons on
: yesterday. Mr.. Cavanaugh said tina
the Bradford mill was booked to be
gin operations yesterday with a ca
pacity of twenty tons day, an
. enough. ore in sight to keep the mi
going for one month.

to the Mexican government for the
transfer of the concession now held
by Col. w. G. Greene for the building
of an extension of the Rio Grande,
Sierra Madre and Pacific railroad to
e. H. Hartman and his associates.
H. r. Nickerson,y president of the
road, is said to have effected fin
ancial arrangement for the early
building of the extension. 1t is said
Hartman and his associates have be-
come financially interested in the
project and that the road will be
used to obtain an eastern outlet in
the United States by way of Ell Paso
for the Cananea, Yaqui River and
Pacific system, which the Hartman
interests are building in western Mex
w b proposed extension will cross
the Sierra Madres and connect with
the Cananea branch of the Cananea,
Yadui River and Pacific at or near
Tonichio, state of Sonora. The esti-
mated cost of this extension is So

tension the Hartman lines in Mexico
will become direct competitor with

THREE ATTEMPTS
TO KILL WOMAN

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 1.-THE police
are still searching for Louis Siebel,
the man for whom a warrant has
been issued for his mysterious at
tacks upon Mrs Mearle Wetmore.
The officers have an excellent de-
scription of the man, but If they have
obtained any trace of him they are
keeping the matter secret. Siebel is
wanted for three attempts to kill the
woman, the last one occurring Fri
day night, when Mrs Wetmore and
her baby were alone in her house,
and a man entered and knocked her
unconscious. When she regained her
senses she found the house was on
fire. She snatched the baby from the
beg which was burning, and made
hVss.May to the street with the child.
The fire department extinguished the
flames. An investigation showed
that the room had been fired in four
different places.
Mrs Wetmore says that six years
ago, when she was girl living with
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Rush, on
a farm twenty-one miles from Daven-
port, Iowa, her grandfather died
leaving the property to her father
but cutting off his brother Suisse
quently her fathers barn was free
