Omaha. Neb., July 13.-The Union
Pacific land department has closed a
deal with the Uintah County Wool
growers association of Utah for the
lease of $4,000 acres of railroad lands
to the sheep owners of that section.
The lease is one of the outgrowths of
the fight between the sheep and cattle
men for possession of that territory.
and this lease, with the land already
owned by the sheep men, gives them
control of large scope of country.
Previous holdings with this lease
gives the sheep owners a practical
monopoly of the grazing in Uin ah
county, Utah.

A Sunday Morning Session to

opened yesterday morning between 8
and 10 o'clock.
At 1880 the House went through the
form of adjourning until 1915 on Sun
day morning, at which hour a new leg
islative day was supposed to begin,
and at IL o'clock, by the Assembly
clocks, adjournment sine die was
taken.

ing final resolutions about attaches
which have already appeared in these
columns, to the passing of one or two
Senate bills and the reception of va

nouncing the passage of numerous AS
sembly bills
On motion of Johnson the Chief Clerk
was instructed to forward to Dibble d
certified copy of the resolution of ap-
probation which was voted him by the
House on Saturday night.
Johnson, having discovered that res
olutions of appreciation voted to Cam
inetti in the session of '93 had never
been sent to that gentleman, moved
that the matter be rectified, and in
supporting his motion, paid a tribute
to Caminetti's ability and fairness,
which was made the more forcible by
the fact that the two men are diamet-
rically opposed in politics, are both
hard hitters and have fought good
many duels during the session, almost
a ioutrance. Caminetti might well
have quoted, Praise from Sir Hubert
Stanley is praise indeed"
