When asked yesterday why the. govern

property. Postmaster Wray Knight said
he did not profess to know anything
about it, but that he supposed the gov
eminent from its experience In these
matters foresaw the folly Of submitting
the question to a Jury as long as the
owners objected to selling at the limit
fixed. It would have the trouble of the
condemnation proceedings for its palms,
as the jury would naturally lean to the
owners estimate of the value of the pro-
appropriated there would be no result
FIRST STEPS TAKEN.
President Cabell, of the Chamber Of
Commerce. when questioned as to the
probable course the matter would now
take said he saw nothing to prevent the
condemnation proceedings being begun;
and, in fact. he was informed that United
States Attorney Lewis had already taken
steps in that direction. 1t would be a
friendly proceeding, as it was necessary
for party to pass upon 1t before the
appropriat ton as made could be applied
to the purchase.
