Land Jumping in Lily Park.

OF late reports which have reached
here at different times of land Jumping
in Lily Park, last weeks Craig Courier
gives what seems to be pretty clear
account Of the trouble down there as
follows:
The alleged error in the surveys Of
Lily park. as published exclusively in
the Courier of last December. has now
received sufficient credence among
settlers to cause them TO rush to the
park and file on hnmesteads. There
are about six thousand acres in the park
OF which about three thousand have
been filed upon by bona tide settlers.
Between three and four hundred acres
are under good ditch and in alfalfa.
Nearly all Of the six thousand acres is
capable of being brought under DITCH,
by constructing dam in the canon at
the upper end of the park
Those who have filed are preparing to
build homes and to cut the alfalfa.
Notices have been given Mr.. Barnes,
manager of the ranches for Wells, Fargo
Il CO., mot to cut the alfalfa. The next
move is up to the Wells Fargo company.
In case proceedings are commenced
to oust the settlers from the land the
latter, it is said, will allege fraud, also
error in surveys, claiming that the land
was filed upon as in range as when it
should been filed upon as in range 90.
The Wells Fargo Express company is
said to claim twenty-five thousand acres
at Lily park and surrounding country.
bnt old settlers can account fOr only
eight thousand-6,OO0 acres in Lily
Park, 4sO at Cedar springs, 100 at Line
springs. 100 at Antelope springs. I60 at
Twelve. mile. l6O at Elk springs. 100 at
South Boxelder. l6O at North Bnxelder,
100 at Wolf creek. lG0 at Hardin's Hole
and $40 at Bear river springs.
The land has now become very valu-
able, not claim of 100 acres being
worth less than $1,000 and on up to
5000.
About eighteen years ago there were
but three or four settlers in the park.
These men sold out to George NJ. Scott
and all associate named Clendennin. of
Salt Lake City. Dams and bitches were
mapped out and other extensive i'm
prpvements made requiring the expen-
tIiture OF thousands of dollars. Later
the remainder of the land was secured
and Lily Park became known rs one of
the largest cattle ranches in the north
west.

Loyal, true and brave.

These men have ,tided In the march

They have reared tho halls of learning,
They have titled the fertile soil,
They have built their homes OF comfort
BY honesty and toll.

In Meekers future glory
For the part they had to bear
In rescuing II land SO fair
From the grasp of savage bands,
BY making homes Of happiness
In wild and distant lnnds?
Each year to Mceker's army

RAIN DELAYS RAILROAD WORK.
Wet Weather Causes Central Contrac
tors Much Trouble.

The recent neavy rains have worked
greatly to the disadvantage of the road
bed and grade improvements now in
progress on the Iowa Central. The
Cooke Construction Company of Min
neapolis has been delayed in its work
on culverts and bridge abutments and
approaches, and at some points has
commenced the work for the fourth
time and is building large Golfer dams
to protect from any other floods that
may come.
One of the culverts near New Shar-
on, completed before the floods. was
found ample to care for all the drain
age and the construction trains and
gangs are now engaged in filling up the
old tressle work. The train loads of dirt
are all dumped in the one spot and even
tho tons and tons of the clay and dirt
are deposited at the place, day after
| day, rather slow progress seems to be
made in fling it up. The manner OF
unloading the dirt all in one spot is in
| teresting. The apparatus that empties
| the train is started and the dirt begins
| to fall from the tresSle work. Then the
! train is started slowly backing and in
! this manner the car that is being I'M
| loaded is kept over the place where the
| dirt is wanted.
The cut at New Sharon is moving
| forward as rapidly as possible. The
| steam shovel is now on its second trip
| thru the top of the hill. The passing
| of trains interferes with the work to
marked degree and the number of cars
| loaded totals less than 100. There Is
/ an immense amount Of labor to be per-
formed at this point yet before the
! closing of the season, and more labor
ers may be placed on the work
New Sharon people are somewhat
| disturbed over the fact that the rail-
| way station is to be moved to the south
| of the present site several hundred
| feet A majority of the residents had
hoped that the Central would place it
at the foot of the fair ground street.
This was an impossibility In the face
of the existing conditions, and the loca-
/ ton was made at the best possible
place. There will be a sixteen-foot plat
/ form on the east side and an eight-foot
platform on the west. The main line
will be on the east side and the New
/ ton branch on the west The stock
1 yards that have at times caused some
| of the citizens of New Sharon to make
complaint have been removed to
point at the extreme south part of the
yards.
The grade of the Newton branch
track is not to be changed at present
| but the track will be extended from Its
present junction point to point near
| the new station site. The wagon road
crossings will be overhead, which will
do away with any danger to teams.
The filling of the low places and the
raising of the track is moving along as
I. rapidly as possible. The dampness of
the weather has made the work ardu-
Gus mad difficult and the track in a
number of places has caused slow or
ders to be issued to all trains. One adj
vantage of the rains, however, has been
to settle the new fills so that it APP
proaches point of soidity that could
not have been reached otherwise.
