Life saving service men risk and pay on stormy shores
A January 2 1885 report describes the U S life saving service across seacoast and Great Lakes stations. It notes perilous duty, $50 monthly pay, seasonal staffing by fishermen and lumbermen, and returns of 371 vessel disasters with 2439 aboard, all beyond aid reach. It also covers New York Yacht Club honors for Puritan and a land claim case in Washington DC with Commissioner Sparks.

Wisconsin Weekly opinion on railroad land grants and settlers
The article discusses a decision that railroad companies cannot contest settlers qualifications under public land laws. Lands occupied by actual settlers or under recorded claims are exempt from railroad grants. If so exempted at the proper time, such lands would not pass to the railroad even if a settlement claim later proves defective. The dispute becomes between the settler and the government, not the settler and the railroad.
