DEFECTS IN UNIVERSITY TITLES.

An Investigation made by the new
Board Of Regents Of the Territorial
University. has disclosed the fact that
there sra several very valuable tracts
Of land now occupied and improved BY
persons who obtained deeds from the
officers in charge Of the University
lands under the belief that the lands
had been properly selected for Univer-
sity purposes, and that the University
had legal right to convey the same.
It now appears, however. that by the
fault Of either the land Office, or the
Authorities Of the University, the lands
purchased by thess innocent persons
were never secured by the University.
Already valuable tract Of land near
Lake Warrington. which has been in
the possession of private indiyidusls for
over fifteen years. and bss been sold
and reso!d during that period for large
sums Of money. and highly improved.
has been jumped by outsiders. who
have initiated thereon 3 presumption
settlement, and their fling has been
allowed ia the Land Office under tho
presumption law.

cured from Washington City list Of

the honesty aud accuracy Of others.
We do not know to whom the blame
attaches. but We earnestly caution ell
claimants Of land. deriving title through
the University. to closely scrutinize
their evidences of title. and become
satisfied that the Government has re
cognized and allowed the selection IN
the manner prescribed by law. BY this
means persons who have no title may
pursue other remedies to secure one
before the Jumpers can reap any ad
vantage from the existence of these
defects.

arising from rubbish-flled alleys
and manure piles. And their pre-
decessors, 80 most direlect city

a remedy for these urban diseases.
The issue of the campaign was
"sand," and the very essence of this
necessary quality were supposed to
oe. our city legislators. They came
under the wire nobly. The ordi-
nance on rubbish" was passed, the
fighting City Marshal served the
proper notices, but there was rub

Uses of our Dads. They gazed on
the dilapidated walks before their
doors, beheld the towering sun
flowers and weakened on the second
quarter. They tied bells on their
children's necks, polls across their
backs and the sand issue has passed
into history.
