the touchdown for the newsboys being
made by the fulI-back, Pitts, who
failed. however, to kick goal.
In the second half the home team
did better work, Sperry making a 40

team work, placed the ball in close
proximity to goal when time was
called. Many of the spectators pro-
nounced the game the prettiest and
most evenly matched of any that has
been played in the Park this season.

Payson, Utah, Nov 27.-The city has
had the time extended to answer Mr..
Patterns water suit for a title. The
council divides the water for the peo-
pie by ordinance, but has no authority
to give title for water claims to any
individual living in the city or out of
it. Patten has never been denied his
rights to water with the rest of the
citizens of this city. No title can be
given him other than this in common
with others who have used the water
since 1850. Mr.. Patten now says his
attorney made the case much stronger
than he wished and prefers TO make
an agreeable settlement.

A QUESTION OF LAW.

Senator Rawlins, in reply 20 the gov
errors question, said he had been err
roneouSly reported as having given an
opinion that the state board could make
selections of mineral lands. He had
given no opinion and could not give one
without study of the question, but he
believed that the state would have
fair chance, If resort were had to the
courts of establishing such a right.
The grant of lands to Utah made no
exception of mineral lands, While the
enabling acts of other states specifically
except such lands. The homestead act
of 1S42 had a general exception of min
eral lands. but in a Michigan case the
supreme court had held that general
grant to a state carried mineral lands,
unless specifically excluded. A later
opinion, however, by Justice Field, held
in a case involving precious metals
(gold and silver that a state could not
gain possession of lands bearing such
minerals in the way noted in the opin
ion in the Michigan case.
Referring to the subject of further
legislation Senator RaWlns expressed
the belief that there was no possibility
of the state obtaining q cession of all
the government lands, and he doubted
that congress would grant the ARD
stretches to the state for reclamation
and disposal to settlers. However, much
depended on the disposition of the
house with which Representative King
Is more familiar
CHANGES GOOD FOR ARID LANDS.
Congressman King said that from his
experience he believed there was a
fairly good chance to get the arid lands
ceded to the western states. A bill for
that purpose came within a half dozen
votes of passing, and since then the
sentiment had grown in favor Of such
q measure He was of the opinion that
if all interests worked together the arid
lands would yet be ceded to the states
in which they are located.
WE ARE MISJUDGED.
Speaking of unfavorable condi-
tions, Congressman King said there was
no need of Disgusting the fact that the
present administration is not favor
able to Utah He had a talk with
Speaker Reed and Mr.. Lacey, house
chairman of the committee on public
lands. The latter was of the opinion
that the land board of this state was
engaged in sort of steal, and that the
purpose was to deprive in the interest
Of monopoly, poor people from coming
into possession of public lands.
Governor Wells injected a remark to
the effect that MI Lacey should be
informed that the state will sell lands
at lower prices than the government
demands.
Congressman King further explained
that he had personally waited upon
Speaker Reed in relation to these
matters: that the speaker was very
much opposed to any legislation for
either Utah or other parts of the west;
that Mr.. Reed frankly confessed that
he had made a mistake in supporting
the admission Of some of the western
states: that neither they nor their
people were in accord with the east,
and must abide the consequences.

THE STATES RIGHT TO MINERAL
LANDS

Senator Rawlins was then interrogat-
ed by Governor Wells, who requested
the senator to particularly say whether
the state had the right under the en-
abling act to select mineral lands but
the query was withdrawn for mo-
ment to permit Commissioner Groo to
answer a question which would throw
some light upon the subject.
Commissioner Groo stated that when
he was register of the United States
land Office he rejected an application
of the state board to select mineral
lands to apply upon grants to the state.
The land commissioner at Washington
concurred in the rejection, and the case
is now on appeal before the secretary
of the interior.

Market Appears to Have Lost Its Strength,
 but Prices Have Not Declined Greatly.
 New York, Aug. 16-There were peril ods to-day when the market for stocks had an appearance of actual dullness. But this was only by contrast with re- cent markets. The total sales fell be- low 5O0,000 shares by over 50,000 shares, which is what it did not do for any whole trading day last week. There was a large falling off also in the activ- ity in the bond department.
 Whatever striking animation there was was in the first hour of trading. The buying during this period was brisk arbitrage brokers joining with the commission house agents to swell the demand This represented the working off of the accumulation of or ders received by commission houses over Sunday. London was buying some of the international shares at the same time that it was selling others. As result of this lively demand prices bounded lightly upward, new high rec ord prices for the year being made in a number of prominent stocks.
 The grangers were actively traded in at the higher level, Burlington showing the sharpest gain, but St. Paul being most actively dealt in. St. Paul was the leader of the list and was quite largely bought for London account. Burlington touched 99A in the opening dealings. but closed point below that. The other grangers moved over a much narrower range, but closed but little above the lowest.
 The upward bound of prices at the opening invited realizing sales. The professional bears added their utmost efforts. They had in their favor some reports of crop damage in the west, and the result was soon shown in a reac- tion in prices of the grangers and southwesterns, which had a sympathet- ic effect on the whole list. Prices of many stocks were carried below Satur- day's close Although there was a firmer tone later and some slight re- coveries. the market failed to fully re- gain it's tone before the close and con- seouently prices of most of the active leaders of the market show only slight changes from yesterday.
 The net changes, though slight. are mostly gains, one or two of the gran gers being exceptions. The undertone of strength in the market was again strikingly manifested by the dullness that set in upon the decline in prices. Sugar again assumed a prominent part
