THE OMAHA DAILY BEET FRIDAY , JULY 27 , 1891. THREE IMPORTANT LAW Measures Which Will Settle the Owcorab of Much Public Lands. CLASSIFICATION OF THE MINERAL LANE Itectlfjlitc tlm Title of Settlfin Who Mnt .Entries Which Httbircincntly 1'rotcd to Ilu Within I.lmlt * or IUII- rend Grants. WASHINGTON , July 26. Three bills whl < vrero passed by the house Tuesday are de lined , If they become laws , to do much t ward settling the many disputes over till to western government lands. Most In portant of thorn Is the measure lntroduc < by Mr. Hartmun of Montana for the exan amlnadon of the lands within the lar granta and Indemnity limits of the Northei Pacific railway In the states of Montana ar Idaho nml the classification of them wll regard to their mineral character. Under tf act of 1861 the Northern Pacific was give alternate sections for twenty miles on cac side of Its track through the territories , i that In the slates of Montana and Idaho gained the ownership of half of the land I a strip of forty miles wide through then Mineral lands , except coal and Iron , wer oxceplod , as wore the sections pre-cmpte by settlers , but In their place the compan was allowed to select areas of land IK more than ton miles beyond the limits of tli original grants. Ever since the settlemcr of the country was begun there have bee multiplying complications because of the dli covcrles of great deposits of gold , sllvei copper and lead along the lines of the root which extend some seventy-eight miles I Montana and eighty miles In Idaho. By recent decision of the supreme court th principle was established that the exceptlo \Y \ of mineral lands applies to all time , so the whenever minerals are found on grantc lands In the future the Northern Paclfl loses Its title to them. It has always bee the contention of the railroad that all land not known to contain minerals at the tlm of the grants were conveyed to It , and tha subsequent mineral discoveries did not affcc Its claim , ao that the supreme court oplnlo changed the status of iiffalrs and put a rest Innumerable local controversies. Th grant conveyed to the Northern Pacific 17 , 838,000 acres In Montana and 1,000,000 li Idaho , but no lands have yet been patente to the company In cither state , although se lections covering 1,558,850 acres have bee made. The adjustment of them nccessarll Involves the question of the character o the lands , and this can only be determine oy such a survey as the act contemplates. The land office reports that at least one third of the lands In the railroad belt nr mineral. A large part of the land alread surveyed Is agricultural , and In the groiinl remaining to be covered mining claim and patents are to bo taken na prima fad evidence that the lands are mineral. Of the other two measures referred to one by Delegate Smith of Arizona Is t ratify the titles of settlers who made bom flde homestead or pre-emption or desert lam entries and settlement , and whose homesteads steads afterward proved to be within rail road land grants. In such cases the rail road companies are to be repaid by an cqua amount of land from the government. The ether Is a bill by Representative Hal of Minnesota to settle the titles of settler who entered lands under the timber nm stone act , but whoso entries , although no yet cancelled , have been held Invalid because cause of a technicality , the land havlni "been offered at public sale according t ( law , " contrary to the provisions of the act which only embraced unreserved and un offered lands. This bill applies to thi states of California , Oregon , Nevada nm Washington. The timber and stone lav has been In force for fifteen years , and dur ing that tlmo many entries have been madi that have been held to be Invalid and slnci cancelled , so that some of the tracts havi been entered upon by later comers. Ir deference to the rights of later settlers th < entries which have been annulled are nol made good by the measure. Bl'IlAYINU WITH FUMCICIDISS. ICxpcrlmrnt4 In the Agricultural Depart ment Shonr It In Highly lr < < urllrlil. : WASHINGTON , July 26. The division 01 vegetable pathology of the Department ol Agriculture has published an Interesting re port on the effect of spraying with fungi cides on the growth of nursery stock. The report was prepared by B. T. Galloway the chief of the division , and embodies the result of three years' work in the treatmenl of nursery stock for the prevention of fun gous diseases. The work was conducted al a nursery at Mitlllken , Mil. , and during the three years there have been treated more thai : a million pear , plum , cherry and apple trees , Spraying , says the report , Is looked upon by tho'owners of the nursery as a necessity , and of equal Importance to cultivation and fertil ization of the soil. The report summarize : as follows the moro Important points brought out by the experiment : The treatment had comparative little effect on apples ; that Is the untreated trees wore , from the beginning to the end of the experi ment , practically as good as the treated. The most striking results of the work were seen In the case of the pears , cherries , plums am ) apples , in the order named. Bordeaux mixture , In every Instance , have the best results , materially Increasing the growth of the pears and cherries , and never in any case Injuring the foliage In the slightest. There was no appreciable difference as regards growth between stocks treated early nnd those treated later. In other words , withholding the application of the fungi- cldo ten to fifteen days In spring did not materially affect the results of growth. The treatments did not sesm to produce any marked effect on stocks so f.ir as re gards rendering them more easily budded , These results may , In a measure , be ac counted for , however , by the fact that the loaf blight diseases were not so severe dur ing the early part of the season of 1891 as usual. The cost of treating nursery stock with ( Bordeaux mixture need not exceed 25 cents per 1,000 trees the first season. The second year the cost of the work will also be 25 cents , while the third year the cost will bo Increased to 35 or 40 cents per 1,000 , making the total cost of treating trees until the buds are two years old from S3 cents to $1 per 1,000. The net profit resulting from the work in the case of the pears and cherries ranged from $1 to $10 per 1,000 trees , the average being $13 per 1,000. In conclusion the statement Is made that as a whole the experiments clearly show that spraying nursery stock with fungicides Is thoroughly practicable ; that It results In better trees In every way , and finally , that it yields a handsome profit.

A vast assortment of cool-compelling nos trums are now offered the perspiring multi tude. The railroads laud the snow-capped peaks and Iclcled canons , and delicately hint that a season there Is Just the thing. They picture the swish of the foamy billows dashIng - Ing on the ocean's shore and enliven U with fetching figures that almost provoke an In vestment In an automatic solf-klcker. Com pulsory stay-at-homes silently rebuke these tempters and drown their grief at gilded founts that foam and sizzle when you drop the wherewith In the slot. Chide them not ; they know not what they do. But there is a remedy , a conucopla of cooling comfort , compounded for the homo guards. It Is warranted not to shrink , fade or bag at the knee , and halls from the phi lanthropic laboratory of the Minneapolis Journal : Never drink Iced liquids , whether alco- hello or not , between meals , as they make Jiie feel warm. It Is very Injurious to drink during meals. Masticate your food thoroughly and drink nothing. Meat Is very heating. You will bo much : ooler If you eat no meat between C n. m. ind 10 p. m. Never on any account cat vegetables during ' liot weather. They contain large quantities it starch , which , as every one knows , is yery heating. Eschew fruits entirely during July , Au- ; ust and September. They are the cause of nero unnecessary per.splratlon than any ither one thing In the bill of faro. Avoid any food made out of grains , such is wheat , oats , corn , barley , hops , etc. They ire great sweat producers. Be careful to have plenty of ventilation n the room where you sit. Fresh air Is es sential to keeping cool. Never leave the windows open during the lay or nlcht. It Is better to be a little varni than to catch cold In a draft. Frequent bathing is to be recommended , jut on no account permit water to touch , 'our skin during hot weather. Fans , Ice , shower baths , mint Juleps , wat- irmelons , Ice cream and other forms of lummer activity should be carefully avoided f you are- anxious to keep cool. o 7I.LS AUUXDAXVV Of C'.IAW. itunford Uiilvnralty Declared to ISo lu No Wuy Troubled I'limiiclnlly.

A large force of citizens removed the furniture and things from the Grand hotel and Davis' eating house , and successfully fought the flre with a very limited water supply.

The fire from the bakery soon jommunlcated with the National bank block ind Bennett's block , then , destroyed the fur niture store adjoining the bank block. The teat was so Intense that It set fire to sev- : ral of the buildings across the street and jadly damaged them , although most of the : ontents were saved. Two dwelling houses i little further up the street were destroyed vhllo the people were working to save the ) uslness portion of the town. This Is the nest disastrous flre that has ever visited his place , and the actual loss cannot be iscertalned until morning.
