BIDS FOR FAME.
REV. GEORGE HEBRON CREATES A
SENSATION.
1t is Politically and ReligiousIy
Wrong That Few Should Gain
= Possession of the Products of the
Whole.

San francisco, April 15.-Rev. DR.. Geo.
D. Heron. professor of applied theology
in Iowa college, at Grinnell, Ia. made a
sensational address on the topic of The
Church and the Workingman," in Cen
trail Methodist church, in this city, Sun
day afternoon. He said. among other
things:
The great problem of cur day is the
problem of society. This is the problem
hearts that feel is the one we must face.
The average pay of an adult in the Uni
ted States is $500 a year. AT the same
time, a single man possesses an income
of $50 900. 600
We call this problem that Of labor and
capital, and again of work and wages /;
but it is much more. 1t is question of
right relations. 1t is idle to talk of JUS
tice and harmony when these things con-
tinue. 1t is crime for Christians to be
indifferent to it. 1t is politically and re-
hgiously wrong that a few should gain
possession of the products Of the whole.
1t is not honesty nor thrift.
The railway problem in America and
the question Of work and wages is a re-
as great a reformer as Charles Sumner
Isaiah said. first of all, stop bribing your
judiciary; stop depressing your poor and
make yourselves clean.
There will be a day when history will
look back and marvel at the great pa
thence and heroic self-restraint and hero
ism that Is exercised by the vast MAORI
ty of our laboring men. We talk Of
Thermopylae, but it is easy to do die in
heroic times. That's nothing But last
summer, when at the village of Pullman,
hundreds Of men saw their wives and
children hungry day after day and yet
stood out for a principle, 1 say the day
will come when they will be regarded as
heroes.
I'm Chicago, nobody ever thought of
the church, and that ought to be said to
our everlasting shame. The church ought
to have been on the side of the oppressed
of one man in the world is the interest of
all. We have come to the greatest crisis
in human history"

Upon the recent return of Land Com
missioner Wantland, of the Union Pacific,
from Omaha. The Herald made the ex-
elusive announcement that the Union
Pacific had just leased some 100000 acres
of Wyoming lands lying between the
stations of Carter and billiard and the
Utah Wyoming line. 1t now develops
that the lease was made to the Union
Pacific Land and Water company. which
is organized by the cattlemen of the
western part OF the state of Wyoming,
and the lands are to be utilized for the
ranging of livestock. In accordance with
the provisions of the contract, however.
the company is now advertising for
leases on the whole or any part OF the
great stretch of country, and this will
give the sheepmen, the greater majority
protect their interests by securing those
sections of country over which their
hocks have ranged for years. This ar
rangement will also settle forever the
as regards the right to range over the
unsold lands of the Union Pacific in the
state of Wyoming. In this fight the
cattlemen were getting much the worst
end of it, for the very simple reason
that the continual ranging of the sheep
over the country practically rendered it
the reason that they accepted the propo-
sition of the Union Pacific to lease the
alternate sections in the western part
of the state owned by the road.
AS before stated, the lands leased in
clude every alternate section between
the station of Carter on the north side
OF the Union Pacific track, and the sta
ton of Hilliard on the south side, and
the western state line, with the exception
of four sections Immediately adjoining
the stations and a strip, on the, south
side of the track, which the road has re-
served for shearing purposes.
This is a most important step and one
which should result in permanent set
Element of the continued disputes between
the cattle and sheep men.

PUBLIC LAND SURVEYS.
Four of the Contracts Have Already
Been Awarded.


Been Awarded.
Surveyor-General Snow has lust award
ed contracts for the surveying of gov
ernment lands during the present year.
and as result in the neighborhood of
half million acres of new lands in this
territory will be thrown open to settle
ment, through the running of the neces-
sary location lines. One of the provisions
of these contracts is that the surveying
of the lands in question are to be COM
pleted and the plats placed on file in
the land office within a year of the date
of the agreements. 1t is understood that
the field forces will get into harness
within. the next few weeks. The expendi-
ture for government surveying in the
territory of Utah during the year 1895
provided for by the last Congress, was
fixed at $4,000. and the contracts just let
will exactly cover that amount
Irrigation enterprises all over the terri
tory have greatly stimulated the settle
ment of government lands during the
past year or two and in consequence there
is an almost unlimited amount of in
quiries and requests for surveys and To-
cations from prospective settlers. For
this reason the contracts, have been
pretty generally scattered and provide for
the plating of those sections which seem
most in need of the government data
There are four contracts and they call
for the surveying of seven great tracts
One of these is under the irrigation svs-

company in Willard county: another be-

county: sixth in the immediate vicinity of
Fish Lake. Sewer county, and extending
out into Piute and Wayne counties: while
the seventh is near the center of Emery
county, near Sunnyside station on the
Rio Grande Western. Al of these are
very important contracts and the lands

of great value. 1t is true that portions
of the tracts have already been settled
upon but the claimants have never benn
able to make their proofs for the reason
that the surveys We're not made.
