To Be Imposed as Soon as the Depart
ment Issues the Circular.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 49, "A circular will be
issued in a few days seriously affecting
large bodies OF LANDS along the Northern
Pacific, Union Pacific and other land grant
roads. When Governor Zulick, of Arizona,
had an interview with Secretary Lamar a
few days ago, he called his attention to the
survey of lands along the completed por-
tions OF the Atlantic e. Pacific road so
that they can be taxed. Only about one
third OF the land has been surveyed. and
under the law passed by the last congress,
surveyed lands can be taxed without, as
heretofore, being patented. The secl etary
referred the Governor to the general land
office, where he was told ~thatsurveys would
be advanced al rapidly as possible, al
though owing to the reduced appropria-
lions probably only q portion of the land
could be surveyed. The new law authoriz-
ing the taxation of surveyed lands before
patents are issued affects large tracts OF
land in nearly all the States and Territor-
les oil the " est, and as soon as the Depart
ment Issued the necessary circular of in
the tax will be imposed.

by a length, Mormon General second.
Time-22Y seconds
The three-furl"ng dash was warmly on
tested by Sunday and Blue NJ untain Belle,
the former winning in 35k econds.
The center of interest was in the ~
mile handicap, which was probably
the finest running race ever witnessed
in the Territory. The entries were Vice
Regent, Repetta, Echo, Regal and
Tom DAILY. The contest was between Re-
gent and Repetta, the Others cutting no
figure. Regent led in the pools by $50 to
$35. Repetta led from the start and held
it to the finish, winning by half a length in

much money changed hands. The Oregon
and Butte be,ters got most of it. The fact
that a match between Regent and Repetta
for 81, 900, one mile and a hall, was on the
tapis added zest to to-day's event. The
big race is now off, Repetta having shown
too much speed. Ali in all, this has been
the most successful meeting ever held in
the Territory. The receipts reached nearly
$500.

electric lights cast their dazzling glare
over the throng of brave men and fair
women. Decorative art was profusely
