More S. P. Suits

U. s. Attorney Sam Plat filed five
equity suits yesterday against the
Southern Pacific Company and others,
to cancel patents on alleged mining
lands. The suits involve large num-
berof mining districts in Humboldt
county and are directed against pat
ents issued on July 81, 1908. Fraud is
alleged in filing non-mineral affidavits.
The suits are particularly interesting
at this time in the light of pub
lisehd rumors that the Southern Paci-
fic. company is devising ways and
means to sell its mineral and agricnl-
tural lands within the twenty mile
limit. 70: -
United States Attorney Platt in talk
ing about the matter yesterday said:
Eyes, 1 have heard about the action
contemplated by the Southern Pacific
as to the deciding of it's lands to miners
and prospectors for consideration. It
must be borne in mind, however, that a
deed of conveyance of lands by the rail-
road company, the title to which was
secured by fraud upon the government,
would carry a very precarious title. If
the government, through the large num-
Der of suits instituted in this state, sue
ceeds in setting aside patents issued to
the railroad company. the land will i'm
mediately revert to the government,
and the miner and prospector without
any additional cost or effort, save and
except a mining location upon the land,
will easily and readily gaid possessory
title thereto. A large number of adj
ditional suits are in course of prepare
ton as it is the hope of the Departments
of Interior and Justice to cancel every
patent issued upon selection by the rail
road company. which was secured upon
fraudulent non-niineral affidavit. AS
the statute of limitations runs against a
patent in six years after its issuance,
the suits filed yesterday were absolutely
necessary to preserve whatever rights
the government might have. Carson

A Corpse Excursion Ticket

ut may be economical; it is certainly
ridiculous" said Senator Tillman of a
proposition he opposed. "It reminds me
of Calhoun White.
Calhoun White stuck his head in
through the ticket window of Salters
Depot railroad station and said:
Boss, gimme two round trip tickets
to Society Hill; one fur myself and one
for u corpse.
~ never heard of nobody buying
excursion tickets for corpses, said the
agent. What's the meaning of this2"
well boss Calhoun White replied,
my brother Webster died yesterday
and I want to take the corpse up to
Society Hill and let the family review
the remains. and then I'll bring him
back to Salters Depot here and bury
him. That'll be big sight cheaper
than for the whole family to traipse all
the way from Society Hill and all the
way back again."

Belgian Children.

This delight in the family life is
characteristic Of all Belgians. One
sees in Brussels and Antwerp mon.
sieur promenading in the boulevard or
the bois with a cigar in his mouth,
madame leaning on his arm, and the
children, hand in hand, walking Sc.
dately under the proud eyes of their
parents.
One finds children in the restaur,
ants and children in the music halls.
The pleasures of father and mother
are shared always with the nursery.
To go junketing without the children
would appear to the Belgian not only
selfish but dull. His happiness is the
happiness of his children. He sees the
circus half with his own eyes and half
with theirs. The toyshops and book
shops in Brussels tell of the para.
mount part played by the child. The
happiness of this people is the pleas.

come off if he had anything to do with
it. and that the battle might come off
within six months after he signed the
articles.
Sam Berger was evidently surprised
at the news SEN from across the big
pond, but said that there must be some
misunderstanding. and that Jeffries
could not have been correctly informed
as to what had peer done. He said
that he had merely entered into the
preliminary arrangements. and that he
was sure that JEFF would ratify his ac-
ton. THE agreement l signed is not
