moEFAr,s LATEST MOVE.
Buys Tract Of State Land at Entrance
of Gore Canon.

Denver. May 24.-The Republican
this morning says: While ID. Fl. Mofat
and William G. Evans were at Wash
ington calling on the President Mon
day afternoon to ask that he investi'
gate the action of the reclamation bu.
reau In interfering with the use or
Gore canon by the Moffat road. the
real battle was being fought in Denver.
AS a result of Mondays action, the
State Land Board. in fifteen-minutes'
session at noon yesterday. carried out
one of the prettiest coups ever known
in the history of railroad building.
which is rich with stories OF attempts
to block progress such as this Gore
canon affair has been.
The result of this action of the land
board is that Mr.. Moffat holds the key
of the situation at the canon. He may
never be permitted to build his road
through the natural opening. but the
government will not be able to build
it's dam at the mouth of the canon
either.
On Monday William G. Smith. right
of way agent of the Denver. North
western & Pacific railroad, made ap-
plication to Register Mark Woodruff.
for the purchase of tract of land 400
feet wide and 1877 feet long. through
the southeast quarter of section ~,
township / north. range 81 west. rms
land is at the eastern entrance to Gore
canon and belonged to the State Land
Board. Taking the natural conditions
into consideration. it is the place
where the reclamation engineers must
place the proposed dam of any reser-
voir that may be constructed there.
Not moment was lost and the land
board was summoned yesterday morn
ing. All were present excepting Miss
Craig, who was out Of the city. and IN
a very few minutes they had approved
a sale of the land. less than twenty
acres. to the railroad at price OF
$3.50 an acre. The total amount Is
s65. In few minutes more the
money had been paid and q deed
passed to the company. Thus is any
attempt at getting out an Injunction or
other delay rendered futile.
BY this coup the railroad now owns
both ends Of the canon. having pur-
chased the western end q year ago.
IN the canon the government owns
the land largely.

CHICAGO STRIKE is SPREADING

Drive Out Eighteen Hundred Men
Sheriff viii Call for Troops.

Chicago. May 24.-All hope of a
peaceful settlement OF the Chicago
strike vanished yesterday when the To-
cal managers of the express companies
refused to reinstate their drivers who
struck when ordered to deliver goods
to boycotted stores.
The sheriff Of Cook county despairs
of being able to contrsl the situation
and renewal OF rioting, now deemed
certain. will result In placing 1000
state troops on duty within two hours.
The lumbermen's association insists
that Its drivers shall deliver goods to
the boycotted houses. and as fast as
they refuse they are discharged. This
VIII soon cause the strike to spread
throughout the building trades. the un-
ion men being expected to refuse to
handle material delivered by non-un-
Ion teamsters.
The last conference looking toward
peaceful adjustment was held at 6
O'Clock last night between James b.
Barry. business agent of the express
drivers union. and the local managers
OF seven express companies.
The conference had been set for an
early hour In the afternoon, but, ow-
ing to the failure of Mr.. Barry to re-
ceive proper notice. It was postponed
until this evening.
When the meeting finally took place.
the conversation was brief and pointed.
Business Agent Barry opened the nego-
tiations by saying:
Our position is this: / want all the
men reinstated except those who
have been guilty of violence. can
not do anything different. That is
what the local union wants. and that

to demand. That is all l can do. The
men told me that all want to go back
In body. or they won't go back Mt all.
That is the position of the union and
the union officials"
The reply of the representatives of
the express companies was brief. 1t
was:
Our opposition to the reinstatement
OF the men will be the same four
years from now as 1t is to-day. We will
not take them back under any circum-
stances"
This brought the conference to n
close. and all parties concerned in 1t

decided to call upon their drivers to
make deliveries. This will force out
1900 additional men.
Sheriff Barrett said last night:
"At the first outbreak of trouble
which in any way approaches the riot
ing we have had, l shall call for
troops. will do everything in my
power to maintain order, but the min
ute 1t gets beyond me will appeal to
the governor and the troops will be on
