STATE LAND BOARD.
Two Decisions of Importance
Routine Business Disposed Of.

Two Decisions OF Importance
Routine Business Disposed Of.
The board of land commissioners, at
its session yesterday morning, made a
double-edged decision, which put a
taboo on the claims of John Buffers
and Cyrus e. Clark, both of whom
were seeking to secure a preference
right to purchase the same tract of
land in Cache county
Clark alleged that he had sold his
interest in the land to Buffers several
months ago, but that Buffers had
failed to pay the stipulated amount,
and that consequently he was entitled
to the preference right of purchase
Buffers opposed this claim by saying
he had been in continuous possession
Buffers claim was denied on the
ground that he was not in possession
of the land applied for on Jan. 1, 1894
Mr.. Clark's application was lost for the
reason that he was not an actual and
bona fde settler at the time his ap-
plication was made.
Both decisions were viewed as i'm
portant, as they will furnish precedents
for the board in considering similar
applications which may come up in the
future.
The application papers and maps
of the Lake Bonneville Water & Power
company, were returned to the COM
pany by the board yesterday, so that
corrections may be made to conform
with the letters recently received from
the United States land office The
communication from the land office
showed that a few days prior to the
time the Lake Bonneville company's
application was filed, several home
stead applications had been entered in
the land office. There were also on
file a number of pre-emption entries,
dating as far back as 20 years, which
will have to be adjusted. 1t is con-
sidered likely that the Bonneville COM
pany will find solution of the home
stead filings by buying them out The
holders of the presumption entries, who
have failed to perfect the applications
were ordered yesterday to show cause
within the next six days why their
presumption entries should not be
cancelled.

More Rabbit Hunts.

The Oregon Short Line is projecting
some more excursions after rabbits.
The first of these will be held Sunday
next, at which the people of Eureka
will be given an opportunity of going
out and slaughtering the Dummies.
The passenger department announces
that very soon an excursion will be
given to Tooele county from this city
The farmers out there will furnish
teams for hauling game if the hunters
will give them the ears of the rabbits
There is a bounty of cents per rabbit,
and they are so plentiful the people
want them exterminated. A date will
be announced very soon.

THE COUNTY ANSWER.
The Complaint Filed by the Oregon
Short Line Railway Company.

The answer of the county treasurer
in the case of the Oregon Short Line
Railway company against Stephen H
Lynch, county treasurer OF Salt Lake
county, was yesterday filed in the Third
district coJSt. II is admitted that the
franchise and rolling stock of the COM
pany was assessed for taxation and
that $50 991 of the tax was apportioned
to Salt Lake county; but it is denied
that ii was the duty of the state board
of equalization to apportion the same
among the several school districts
through which the plaintiffs line runs.
1t is then alleged that according to law
the sum appropriated to Salt Lake
county and the Salt Lake schools was
correct. because the burden OF police
protection given to the company is
borne by SAT- Lake City and the prop
erty of the plaintiff SO taxed is not
found outside of Salt Lake county ex-
cept as it passes back and forth or is
temporarily away from the station in
Salt Lake. Defendant therefore prays
that the suit be dismissed

was always bright and clean, but it was
too noisy and disorderly to suit fas-

The shadow of evening had gathered
while Miss Grant sat over her untasted
supper. She pushed her plate away
and was about to rise when a gentle rap
sounded on the door. Without waiting
to light lamp she opened the door.
and peered out in the fast falling dark
ness. No one was there. Her foot
struck against something lying on the
doorsill. 1t was long, narrow pack

anger rolled over the spinster's heart.

sent the obnoxious box half way to the
street.

piping voice. what air you doing

Trembling with fear, Maggie started.
Upon reaching the street, she broke
into a run. AS for Miss Sarah, she car

dining-room, lighted lamp, pulled
down the window shades, locked the
door and sat down to think. Effie

Miss Sarah's pastor! Would she insult

the old woman to whom she had always
been so kind? Surely not. What had
Maggie meant about Easter? A mo-
ment's thought-yes, the morrow was
Easter as well as All Fools day. She
felt twinge of conscience as she re-
membered that her anger against the
prospective pranks of the boys had
blotted out her memory of Christ's
proven immortality. She came back to
the present with start. There lay
the bundle.
''Why don't open it?' she queried.
"Of course, it's all nonsense. AS likely
as not another bit at my being an old
maid"
Upon removing the paper she found
pasteboard box. Taking off the cover
she held her breath in establishment.
There, on bed of softest moss, lay
great clusters of Easter lilies. The
woman felt her anger slipping from
her, and an unexplainable hush seemed
to settle down upon her. Reverently
lifting the card tied to the lilies, she
read: I'm loving remembrance of the
joyful morrow" Joyful? All, not to
her. And why not? Could there be
any reason save that she had shut out of
her life the influence of the risen
Saviour? What if she had been lonely
and misunderstood? Had she always
been just to others? And had not He,
the divine One, been misunderstood?
Her tears were dripping on the waxen
petals of the flowers. Burying her face
in their cool depths. fervent prayer
rose from her heart.
The next morning was bright and
sunny. The little church was gay with
flowers, and to Miss Sarah the very air
seemed alive with loving memories of
the first Easter morning. 20 day of
Joy and gladness!" sang the choir, and
the heart of the spinster repeated the
words over and over At the close of
the service she FASTENED to her broth
er's pew.
How is your mamma. dear" she
asked Sadie in so sympathetic tone
that the girls eyes opened wide.
"WEat little woman you are, Sadie,
to keep the children so quiet through
church. Here's a note for your father.
You can tell him | will come over and
talk to him after dinner. I'll bring your
mamma some of my ounce jelly. Poor
