GETTING EVEN At LAST.

The so-called "land-grant railways
are now paying a debt that they
probably never expected to pay. The
government gave them vast tracts OF
land as a means of raising the capital
necessary to build them, but stipu-
lated that in return the roads should
always transport troops and army
supplies either free or at half rates.
It is estimated that under that
agreement the government will save
fifty million dollars in transportation
charges in the present year alone
