There was one circumstance that helped i'm

the part OF those in authority to workers

use their influence to obtain appointments But

outside San Francisco, some OF them in high au-
thority, not scrupulouS. They seemed to
regard the exposition in the light OF political
jobbery. They would send people with letters,
making requests for positions without any refer
encc to fitness. In some cases the applicants
damaged their chances by saying that they would
take anything that might be offered. Then they
were told that positions offered only to work

caused them to be pursued In the OF DR..

Spinning the Yarn.

Now grandma used to clip the sheep
And card the virgin wool.
About such things she knew a heap,
Her shears were never dull.
At least so grandpa used to vow,
To mention, and to state.
The folks worked harder then than
now,
He would asseverate.
So grandma at first hand would deal
With products of the barn,
And then upon her whirring wheel
She used to spin the yarn.
At least so grandpa used to claim.
But when I was a kid
My grandma bought her cloth the
AS everybody did.
I do but echo grandpa's say
When modern times he'd darn. y

He used to spin the yarn.

TO ALL SECTIONS GRANTED
TO THE NORTHERN PACI-
FIG RAILROAD IN THIS
STATE.
CASE DECIDED YESTERDAY
Judge Burke Writes Opinion in
an Important Case Affecting
Railroad Lands.

In an opinion written by Judge E.
T. Burke an important question was
decided by the supreme court yester-
day--the question affecting every odd
numbered section of land twenty
niles on either side of the Northern
Pacific railroad line in this state. The
case decided was that of Wensburg
VS.. Gibbs township.
No Provision for Highways.
In 1864 the congress, of the. United
States made floating grant of all
odd-numbered sections of land for
twenty miles on both sides of the pro-
posed Northern Pacific right-of-way to
the railroad company, if the road was
built from the Great Lakes to Puget
Sound. No provision was made in
this grant for public highways, nor
had any such provision been made
prior to this time.
Il In 1866 congress granted a strip
along the section lines Of all public
lands for public highway purposes.
The strip was to be four rods IN
width. :.
In 1873 the Northern Pacific rail-
road built through here and filed; its
certificate of definite location and
thus. settled the identity of the sec
tions of land it came into possession
Of by thetgrant of 1864.
HoWscase Came Up.
Mr.. Wensburg came into possession
of one of the sections originally grant
ed to the Northern Pacific. Gibbs
township took four rods off h'om his
land and graded it for highway pur:
poses, under the provisions Of the act
Of 1866.
Mr.. Wensburg started suit for the
recovery of this disputed strip OF
land and claimed that as it was grant.
ed to the Northern Pacific railroad
company in 1864 the highways act OF
1866 could not be construed so as to
apply to his land
The township contended that the
grant to the railroad company did not
become effective until 1873, when the
road was definitely. located, and that,
therefore, the act of 1866 did apply
to the section and the township had a
right to the roadway strip. In other
words, because the railroad company
did not take advantage of the grant
of 1864 and build it's road at once ana
locate it's lands the township contend
ed that the later act, that OF the year
1866, did apply to that land.
Decided for Township.
The court held with the township,
and the locating and grading of the
road was legalized and the court held
that Mr. Wensburg could not recover.
. Affects All Of Land.
This decision applies to every odd,
numbered section of land on either
side of the Northern Pacific right-of-
way for twenty miles. 4,
