RIO GRANDE WESTERN TRACT.
BY reason OF an instrument filed today
in the office of the county recorder, the

owner of the old iron works tract at the
foot of Twenty First street. The purchase

the land. This discrepancy was due to
an increase in the acreage, the railroad

way. 1t is said work on the shops and
round house the Western has contracted
to erect here viii commence by the middle
OF May.

ance was transacted by the county court
~ Z hi +lo
suit Of an investigation of the records of
the land Office at Salt Lake made by an
agent of the court, it was found that 5000
acres of patented land IN Weber county

tend for the work.
