SPECIAL AGENT ARRIVES.

RENO. Feb. 1.-THE force of
government agents at work in this
state, belonging to the department
of interior, in the investigation of
the selection of lands made by the
Central Pacific railroad under the
land grant act, has been augmented
by the addition OF Mr.. A. c. Agnew,
special agent of the general land
Office. Mr.. Agnew has come to the
state to work in conjunction with
Mr.. d, j. Lawton, who has been en-
gagged In this work for some time.
The purpose of this investigation,
as has already been made known, is
to determine the character of the
land taken by the Central Pacific
under the act of congress of July /,
1862 and July 2, 1864. granting 10
the railroad alternate sections of
land for 90 miles on each side of its
right of way; as bonus for the con-
struetion of the road. The one
prohibition contained in these acts
was that the railroad was not to in
clude within its selections, any min
eral land. The allegation upon
which this investigation is based is
that the railroad violated this pro-
hibition by selecting certain tracts
known to be mineral. Patents have
issued to the railroad company on a
great deal of the land selected, and
at the end of six years from the isu-
ance of patent, the statute of limita-
tion runs in favor of the railroad
company, and prevents suit being
brought to set aside the patents is
sued The cases are being investi-
gated in the order in which the pat
ents were issued.
Suits have already been instituted
in a good many Of these cases, to set
aside patent and the bills In equity
In other cases are now in course
of preparation. Mr.. Frank Hall of
the department of Justice is assist
ing Mr. Samuel P'att, United States
district attorney for Nevada in draw
ing the bills in equity to be filed
against the company.
This investigation pertains to a
matter of vital Importance to the
people of the state of Nevada, and

it is only through the hearty cooper
alton of the residents of the locali-
ties in which the lands in question is
located that the department of the
interior can accomplish it's work. in
making the field Investigations The
agents in charge of the work have
had the cooperation of the people up
to the present, and II is necessary
that this should continue in order
that the purposes of the government
in protecting the people against the
seizure of mineral land by the rail-
road under the guise of agricultural
land, should be prevented.
Messrs. Lawton and Agnew will be
in their office at the Virginia hotel
for the next few weeks, ready to re-
ceive complaints, oral or written, in
respect to filings made by the Union
Pacific on mineral land. andthose in
terested in this matter should act
promptly. Personal interviews are
preferable, when such is possible,
and when such is not possible, the
written statements in regard to the
mineral character of the land should
he sworn 10 before a notary or
other officer having a seal. The To-
cation of the land by legal subdivisi-
ons, in regard to which complaint
is made. should be definitely ascer-
tanned, in order that the agents OF
the government may make field in
vestigation of the land when the
is filed.
The six year limitation of time APP
plying TO some of the railroad pat
ents expired on January l last,
others on December ,. and so on un-
til the year 1911. There is no way
TO ascertain in any individual Eass
when the right of filing coplaint ex-
pires. so the earlier such complaint
is filed. the safer for the applicant.

eral merchandise in the central west
within the last six months is the ex-
PLANTATION of an initial dividend of l
per cent on the common stock of the
Sears Roebuek company. declared by
the directors of that concern yester-
day. If the business of the company
continues as IL has during the last
year it is believed that the directors
will authorize the disbursement of
per cent on the common stock every
quarter.
The Sears Roebuck company, is
one of the largest distributors of gem
eral merchandise in this country.
Its principal markets are located
west of Chicago and the fact that its
earnings have been the largest in its
history during the last year, al
though most eastern companies have
recorded heavy falling off In their
business, evidences better relative
conditions in the central west than in
the east.

Into the punch bowl from which it is to be served put large block of ice and then add the mixed fruit.

ChiId's Bib.

An excellent way for making chil- dren's bibs, and one that fully an swers the purpose, is made by using the regular yoke pattern, cutting the back deep enough so that narrow piece of the goods comes under the arm. Instead of the same depth yoke in front, cut the material as long as the child's dress, rounding the goods at the side if you prefer. Join the back yoke to the front piece; cut the sleeves, and sew in; face the yoke, neck and sides with bias strips of the material. Two buttons will be suffi- cient for the back. When finished you will have bib that not only entirely covers the front of the child's dress, but also protects the sleeves.
