Denver Decides to Own Its Own Plant and
Save Future Litigation

Denver Decides to Own Its Own Plant and
Save Future Litigation
DENVER, Col, July y11.-Attorneys for
water consumers began proceedings in
the district court today to compel the city
council to carry out the contract with the
Denver Union Water company requiring
a reduction of rates to the average of Chi
cago. st. Louis and Cincinnati, besides
an alternative writ of mandamus to COM
pei the passage of an ordinance provided
for in the contract. The complaint asks
that injunctions be issued restraining the
company from shutting off water from
private consumers. and also compelling
the corporation, its agents and employees
to desist from influencing the members
OF the council to act contrary to their
duty under the contract. The complaint
charges that the members of the city ad-
ministration. especially the collncilmen,
secured their election BY making q pledge
which they have not redeemed. to adjust
tho rates according to contract and the
water company is accused of having, by
bribery, cajolery and threats. prevented
the passage of an ordinance which would
fulfill the provisions Of che contract.
AT conference between the mayor and
the members of the city council today it
was practically decided to buy the water
works. The mayor will ask the company
to name price and terms for its plant i'm
mediately.

GOVERNMENT LAND

l1any Thousand Acres Formerly Claimed by

SAN FRANCISCO, July 11.-Several
hundred thousand acres of land situated
in the northern part Of Los Angeles
county and heretofore claimed by the
railroad, are likely at any day to be
thrown open by the government for set
tlement. When that win come depends
upon the discretion of the secretary of
the interior. He may do so at once bas-
ing his action on the decision of Judge
Ross in favor of the United States, or he
may await final determination of the
character of the lands by the supreme
court on an appeal, which will probably
be entered by the Southern Pacific COM
pany.
Roughly described. these LANDS consist
of the odd numbered sections south of
Moiave, west of the desert of that name,
north of the San Gaoriel range of mount
aims aud east of the Elizabeth Lake dis
trict, and comprise territory seventy
five miles long by forty wide. The most
important part of this regoin is embraced
in what is known as Antelope valley.
which stretches ON both sides OF the
Southern Pacific branch line running
from Mojavs to Los Angeles. between the
towns Of Rosamond and Alpine. The
land has an elevation OF about l400 feet
and will therefore not produce oranges
but with water, alfalfa, grain, vegetables
and deciduous fruits hourishs
