Thousands of acres of land in
southern California, owned by the
eouthern Pacific Railway company
now prove to be oil lands, rich in pc
troleum. The land was given to the
railway by the government, years
ago, to ENCOURAGE the building of the
line, but the government did not
mean to give oil or mineral lands
The question now is whether there is
any lawful way to get these lands
back into the public domain. Presi-

SINGULAR BANK NOTE.

)ae side Worth Twice as Much ~
the Other.
Perhaps the most extraordinary
oank note that ever got in circulation
in tbs or any other country was
misprint that escaped the vigilance OF
Uncle Sans inspectors in the bureau
of engraving and printing. Its face
value was $50. It's other value-well,
1t was enough different to cause no
end Of trouble before the mystery OF
raveled.
The manner, of its discovery was
odd. A clerk in a western hotel In
making up his accounts one day found
a discrepancy he could not explain.
He placed the pile of bills at his left
hand, and as he counted each one
turned the note over and deposited II
on pile at his right. He found thst
when he counted from left to right
his cash balanced exactly, but when he
counted 1t back again shortage Of
$50 was shown He consumed two
hours in vain endeavor to find out
what was the matter, and finally was
obliged to call on the manager for as.
sistance
The manager himself had no better
success. Again and again he counted
the bills, always with the same result
--one time the cash balanced and the
next the shortage was developed.
Finally each bill was examined sep
arately, both diverse and reverse;
whereupon the mystified men discov.
cred the cause of their trouble. One
Of the bills had the design Of $50 on
the diverse and that of 500 on the re-
verse. 1t further appeared that the
clerk had received the bill as 800.
On investigation II was found that
the Treasury Department had a record
that one sheet of bank notes printed
for a national bank of Kansas City
had been reversed In the press. One
plate bore the diverse OF $50 bill at
the top and the diverse in the 800
bill at the bottom. The other plato

After each had been printed 1t was
laid aside to dry before being run
through for the diverse printing. In
some way the pressman had turned
one sheet upside down, with the re-
suit that two misprinted bills came
forth-one with $50 diverse and
800 reverse. the other with a 500 OBJ
verse and $50 reverse.
The cashier of the bank was the first
to become aware of the error. He
found that something was wrong after
he had paid out the note with the $50
face and the 800 back by coming
across the one with the 800 face and
the $50 back. The note held by the
cashier was returned to the treasury
and destroyed, perfect note being
, Issued in its stead.
