NAY LOSE THEIR LANDS.
Government Suit in Which Kansans
Ara Tn+a.-aS+od

Topeka, Kan. March 21.-The suit
brought recently by the government
against the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe Railroad company to cancel the pat
ents for a lot of land along it's line in
central Kansas, means a great deal to
several hundred Kansas people. If the
government wins, it is claimed that in
nOcent purchasers of about so 600 acres
of land will be dispossessed of their
homes.
The litigation began with the filing
of a petition in the United States Cir
cult court here by John W. Griggs, at
tOrney general of the United States.
The old Santa Fe company, which con-
trolled the road before the receivership.
is the defendant. By an act of congress
passed in 1858 the road was given the
odd numbered sections of land-for ten
miles on each side of the right-of-way.
1t provided that the governor should
examine the reports of the company
and recommend the issue of patents
from time to time as each ten miles of
track was completed. The patents
were then issued by direction OF the
secretary of the interior.

TO DEVELOP WATER.
Council Committee Will Recommend
Extensive Work.

1t was decided last evening by the
council committee on waterworks and
Hnance, associated with Mayor Thomp-
son, City Attorney Stephens and En-
gIheer Kelsey, to recommend To the
council that the development work on
the city's appropriated right to develop
supply OF water from the mouth of
Big Cottonwood canyon be continued
at an expenditure of $500 monthly, out
of the water bond fund, and that for
the purpose OF more effectively protect
ing the municipal interests in that To-
cailty the city attorney be directed to
commence condemnation proceedings
against Charles Boehler to secure a
piece Of his land at the mouth of the
canyon to be used as a site for the
prospect shaft to be sunk to bedrock
to demonstrate the volume of water to
be obtained by running a tunnel up the
canyon along hard pan.
The meeting was the result of Engi-
neeT Kelsey calling the councils atten-
ton to the fact that George Z. Blair
had located a right of way over the
city'S appropriation to develop the seep-
age and bedrock waters from the mouth
OF Big Cottonwood canyon down to the
head of the Green, or first diverting
ditch. 1t was thought at first that Mr.
Blair had Jumped" the city's location
because of the neglect of the council in
falling to properly authorize the cOntin-
uation of development work on scale
commensurate with a necessary demon
stration of good faith, but it was deter
mined last night that the Blair filing
was of little consequence.
City Engineer Kelsey explained what
those at the meeting did not already
understand about the scope and feast
bility of the plan to secure at least A.
900, 600 gallons of water daily from this
source, and the intention to have the
flow piped into the city along with the
water to be exchanged in future years
from the city canal with some of the
owners of Big Cottonwood creek.
For opposing the engineer on the
feasibility of this plan. Councilman
Buckle took Councilman FernStrom to
task. by saying he would not take his
word on d question of sthis sort. even
If he lived to be a thousand years old.
Fernstrom was the only one who did
not vote on the motion to recommend
to the council the decision of the meet
ing.

Salt Lake Real Estate Prices
Have Gone Ballooning.

The real estate dealers of the city are
complaining because of the exorbitant
demands made by many people in the
city who have property for sale. In
many cases the prices have been adj
vanced so per cent or more since the an
nouncement that the Los Angeles road
would be built. Pieces of ground that
the owners would have been very glad
to sell two years and a year ago have
been taken off the m;Eket altogether;
and very often, when the buyer is pro-
duced at the price fixed by the owner,
he refuses to deliver the goods. In one
case where an option was given re-
Gently on a. piece of inside property the
owner went to the real estate dealer
who made the sale and told him he

$4,000 Depending on Cover
nOr's Signature.

The San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt
Lake road got in with its articles of
incorporation under the old law and
paid the maximum incorporation fee of
81. 500. The prospects are that the Union
Pacific will be just too late for this,
and the state treasury will thereby be
richer to the extent of $22,500.
Contrary to the announcement in the
senate. Governor Wells has not vet
signed the Love biz taking off the max

A. L. Thomas of Lord & Thomas.

morning on his way east and left in

Mr.. Thomas lives in Chicago and has

While in Salt Lake ne visited several

as the firm places an enormous amount
of advertising for articles handled BY
druggists.
Il have found the business conditions
generally satisfactory said Mr.. Thorn
as yesterday afternoon. The outlook
in salt Lake seems to be bright as far
as l have been able to judge in such a
short space of time"
MI Thomas is placing contracts in
accordance with these views.

Senator kearns Goes After an
Irish Elk Head.

One of the purposes of Senator
Kearns' trip abroad at this time has
been given out. He IS going to Ireland
for the purpose of securing, by discOv-
cry or purchase, q specimen of the
Irish elk head. When il is stated that
the elk has been extinct in ireland for
more than 500 years the difficulty of
Senator Kearns' quest may be under
stood.
From time to time perfectly pre-
served heads and antiers that once
adorned the bodies of this magnificent
animal are dug out of the Irish peat
bogs. They are most highly esteemed
by the gentry of that country and OF
England and they bring immense
prices. Some of them have sold for as
much as $4,000, and they are scarce
even at that figure.
The Irish elk, according to those

would pay him the full amount of the
regular commission if he would manage
to break the contract. One dealer put
if in these words: "A few years ago
it was no trouble to get the property;
the trouble was to find a buyer. Now
there is no trouble in finding the buy
ers, but it is impossible to get the
property
The small number of transfers that
are now being made are accounted for
in this way: Owners are holding off
looking for a railroad boom, and so far
as this goes the railroad talk has had
a depressing effect upon the real estate
business. At the same time every man
posted on the situation is confident
that the present year will be great
one in this branch of business in Salt
Lake.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1901-03-22

Kearns ct al. would have been forced
to pay $3.50 for fling their articles. By
some coincidence. however, the bill has
not been signed until these articles
were in. and $3.50 saved the senators
and their friends.
Now that they are in out of the wet.
it is stated that the governor will sign
the bill at once, probably today. the
Union Pacific meeting to increase the
capital stock to 500, 600, 690 will take
place tomorrow, just too late, <sfcord-
ing to the indications, to set the bar

be obliged to pay IS. $50. instead of 81
500 for filing notice of the Increase.

grandest spread of antlers that ever
an animal wore. 1t was nofuncommon
thing for them to measure fourteen
feet from tip to tip. The antlers are a
combination of elk and moose horns
being broader than the American elk
antler and narrower than those of the
moose. Senator KearnS is very anX-
ious TO have one of the heads to hang
in the great front hall of his Brigham

ed with his desire that he viii stop at

Hundreds. of carloads of fruit, it Is said,
