FIGHT FOR OIL LANDS.

The interior department at Washing
solving very difficult question. 1t is
one that may lead to a long legal fight.
Involved in the controversy are many
millions of dollars worth of mineral
lands, which are included in the origin
al land grant of the Union Pacific rail-
road, and are principally in Wyoming.
Under the plain provisions of the act
of congress, which aided by grants of
public lands the construction of the
transcontinental railroads. all lands
which contained valuable minerals
We're to escheat to the government for
entry under the mining Laws Along a
considerable portion of the Union Paci-
discovered rich reservoirs of petroleum
that are as valuable as the oil fields
now being developed in the region
around Beaumont, Tex. These discov-
cries naturally have led to the organi
cation of powerful syndicates for pros
pecting and developing the oil fields,
and the Union Pacific railroad is claim
ing prior rights to the property. The
Syndicates have appealed 10 the interior
department 10 enforce the mining laws
against the railroad company, and Gust
that corporation from possession of the
land. One of these syndicates is oper-
ating under the name of the American
Consolidated Oil Company. and appar-
emily is taking the lead in the fight
against the railroad for the potential
wealth involved.
In the absence of Secretary Hitch
cock on his summer vacation the sub
ordinate officials of the interior depart
ment are unwilling to discuss the case
in detail, which gives to the subject an
interest which perhaps it would not
otherwise possess, and envelops it in
considerable mystery. All that is
vouchsafed on the subject at the de-
partment is that one of the most ex-
perienced special agents of the depart
ment, j. w. Zevely, is now in Wyoming
carefully investigating the counter
claims of the railroad company and the
syndicates as to the existence of oil
lakes and the rights of the railroad COR
poration in the premises. Even if his
report should be against the Union Pa

COAL OUTPUT sa4s,76a,ooo.
country's Production Grows-Ill;nois
Second in the List.

Washington, ID. c., July 26.-The
amount OF coal produced in America in
1901 was 1856 per cent great than the
amount produced in 1900. The increase
amounted to 23,026, 600 short tons, and
increased the value $41,S11,675 over
that of 1900
There were twenty-eight states in
which coal was produced in 1901,
against twenty nine in 1900, Idaho hav-
ing dropped from the list. OF these
states twenty one exceeded last year
all previous records in production. The
greatest increase in 1901 was in am
thracite coal in Pennsylvania. Pennsyl-
ysnla is also credited With the largest
increase in the bituminous product, fol-
lowed by Ohio, Illinois, West Virginia.
and Maryland in the order named, each
of thess, states increasing its output ov-
er 1900 by more than one millions tons
The total production for the year 1901
was 29290S,4S6 short tons, valued at

have a stimulating effect OH business.
Ii is apparent. too, that the dull SUM
ner season viii be short, particularly
in the west. where weather conditions
have interfered With many projects.
From Chicago comes the statement
that the demand for lumber and build
ing materials of all kinds is unparal-
eled in volume and prices are forced To
an unusually high level. Recent enfa-
vorahe weather delayed operations and
work in all directions is now being
pushed forward. The industrial situa-
ton in that city is less disturbed from
labor demands and great quantities of
work are steadily turned out for i'm
points. Manufacturers of agricultural
and milling and mining
machinery are especially busy ana ia
vored with new orders.
Business conditions are generally
satisfactory all over the country. Con-
sidering the fact that it is the midsum-

west declare there will be no dull sea-

The anthracite miners strike IS still

of winning, tho there are indications of

button OF merchandise in the nation is
shown by the railroad earnings thus
far in July. They are ) per cent lars
er than last year. per cent in excess
of the corresponding period of 1900. Ii
is possible that delays i'll orders and
business as Il result of the unusual
rainy period may partially account for
this, tho there is no denying that gem

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

The Sac sun believes that tariff

nlent of the platform adopted last year
at Cedar Rapids is in harmony With
the best thought of the party at this
time, there is no good reason why its
phraesclogy should be slavishly fol-
lowed in making the platform this
year"
The Coon Rapids Enterprise ex-
presses the opinion that when the Iowa
republicans meet next Wednesday the
platform of Il year ago will no doubt be
re-atiirned.''
The Rockwell City Advocate thinks
there is likely to he a substantial in
crease in the railway assessment, and

exclaims the Glidden Graphic.
The Humboldt Republican notices
that Few farmers who have investi-
gated the conditions care to locate in
Canada. The government imposes GER
tain conditions and makes certain res
ervations that are anything but agree

different matter from farming in this.

WOULD DESTROY ALL TRUSTS.

While the democratic party is at sea
issues to be urged during the coming
congressional campaign, some of the
leaders have decided views, impractic-
able tho they may be. One of these
men is Leonidas +. Livingston, of
southern democracy and prominent
member of the house appropriations
committee. While in Washington the
other day he outlined some interesting
views on the issues that should divide
the two parties. Mr. Livingston is COM
pletely a variance with the other cad
ers of his party in congress, as We'll as
Chairman Griggs and the other manas-
ers of the democratic congress cam
paign. On the continued paramountcy of
Imperialism as the chief democratic is
sue. He thinks the trust question is
the issue of overshadowing importance
on which the democrats should go be-
fore the country, and as he is scheduled
for an extensive tour of the country
under the auspices of the democratic
congressional campaign committee,
which will begin in Maine the last week
in August and end in Indiana the first
of November, he will forcefully urge
them while ignoring the Kansas City
platform.
Mr. livingston takes a radical view
of the trust question, and declares that
the difference between the democratic
and republican parties on trusts and
combinations is that the democrats
would destroy all trusts and combina-
tons, while the republicans would reg
ulate them by law. His remedy, altho
contains the fatal weakness of uncon-
stitutionality. He would abolish the
tariff on raw material coming into this
country used in the manufacture of
trust goods, a proposition that is vio-
lently antagonistic to the old Democrat
ic contention for protection to raw pro-
ducts, and also would levy an export
tax on trust made articles going cut of
the country, which of course could not
be done by congress until the consti-
tuition, was amended so as to permit
this new and startling democratic doc
trine to become a law. Mr.. Livingston
said In an interview:
What President Roosevelt needs is
a democratic house to carry out his
trust ideas. The tariff question, the
trust question and the advocacy of an
economical administration of the gov
eminent are, in my opinion, just about
all the democratic party ought to try to
handle at this time. The financial ques-
ton is practically settled. The greatest
question in this country today is, who
shall control the government? Can the
state legislatures or the congress ac-
complish anything, or will they have to
lie down and submit to the dictation of
combinations and corporations If
president Roosevelt had a democratic
house of representatives he might be
able to accomplish his desires regard

ARE AFTER KETCHuM

| The scene of action upon the various
/ to Des Moines, whittier the various
candidates have gone. Hence the T.-R.
can not speak for Mr. Ketchum author
itatively, but it would seem that his
chief opponent, Mr.. Dawsons. press
bureau has been working overtime dur
ing the last forty eight hours, judging
from the wild stories in circulation of
combinations that are being made to
defeat Mr. ketchum. The Des Moines
| Herald, a close personal friend of Mr..
| Dawson's, has discovered that Mr..
ketchum tried TO campaign as Il Cum
minis man, but was turned down by the
governor, and then, to save himself, the
CORES pondent in the next line says Mr.
ketchum is the personal fayorte OF
Governor Cummins. The purport of this
is to prove that Ed Dawson is a strong
favorite with many Cummins men.
|
Mr.. Ketchum last year was a strong
supporter of Mr. Cunmins, and volun
tarily Withdrew his candidacy from
consideration by the conviction that
the Cummins slate might go thru and
Cummins be nominated, he has sought
this year to bury the old Cummins
fight and make his campaign on his
own merits alone. He has not asked TO
be a Cummins candidate nor posed as
He is backed solidly by the Fifth dis
trict. which was two-t thirds antiCum-
minis last year, and Mr. ketchums
strongest friends in the district now
were anti-Cummins men one year ago
Mr.. Ketchum's candidacy is for Mr.
ketchum alone and no other.
Another beautiful story is that Daw-
son has made combine to trade sup
port With Mr.. Buchan, of Grundy coun-
ty, in Mr.. ketchums district, where
by Dawson's friends are TO support
Buchan for clerk of the supreme court
and Buchan, in return is to knife
ketchum The fiction in this story is
self evident when it is known that Mr..
ketchum and MIR. Bpchan. as gentle
men, have agreed to stand together
supporting one another in order that
the Fifth district might enter this con-
yention solid for its district candidates.
If Mr.. Buchan is nominated 1T viii in
no wise iniure Mr. ketchum for the
district has so few other places that in
asking two this time ii asks very little.
But granted for the sake of argument
that Dawson has made such deal
what would it avail. If Dawson and
his friends are to knife John Crockett
of Hardin county, in Dawson's district,
who seeks the same place sought by
Buchan, what will Hardin and Wright
and Franklin counties do, and what
would Dawson gain?
The truth is, Mr.. Dawson has had the
office of railroad commissioner now for
seven years, two full terms, and one
year by appointment He wants an
other term TO make it ten years in of
flee, and Mr.. ketchum is a very strong
man. Dawson's district already has a
supreme Judge in S. M. Weaver, the
retiring auditor, who has held office
two terms, or four years, is from the
Third Attorney General Mullan has
held office two years and will be nom
mated again from tie Third, While
John Crockett is making a strong can
vass for clerk. and he IS from the Third
hence press bureau must do some
mighty industrious work during the
next few days, or the ten year tenure
will not be established in precedent

as usual, to take hold OF the short-fed
cattle, but the most of them sold without

The cow market opened just about
steady, but owing to the big supply that
has been here all the week buyers tried TO
pound the market and succeeded fairly well.
The general market could be quoted all
the way from steady to a dime lower. The
decline was general on all classes, but 1t

than the better grades. Trading was none
too active and the day was well ~advanced
before the bulk of the offerings was dis

Bulls and stays were also rather dull and
weak, but veal calves held steady.

extremely light this morning, while the
supply was heavy. The demand from the
country has been very disappointing all the
week. so that cattle have been accumulat-
ing in the yards and prices going down.
