BIG LAND FRAUDS IN UTAH.
Charged Against Railroads and Coal
Companies.

Salt Lake, City.-Agents of the In.
terstate Commerce Commission and oil
the government are said to have un
covered land steals by the Denver &
Rio Grande Railroad Company and
by the Utah Fuel Company in this
state which make the Union Pacific's
alleged peculations look insignificant
by comparison.
As a result of the disclosures the In
terstate Commerce Commission is pre-
pairing to make an early and searching
Investigation in sessions to be held
in this city, In Pueblo and in Denver.
A large part of the preliminary work
Is said to have been done by Fred A
Maynard, special attorney for the gov
ernment. who has been working on the
alleged land fraud cases for several
months.
Former Judge Elmer Il. Thomas
of Omaha, also special counsel for the
commission in the land fraud investi-
cations. has taken frequent hand in
the matter, and both have been in con
srltation from time to time with j. L
Marchand, attorney for the commits
sion, who directed all of the work In
the Union Pacific disclosures.
The Utah Fuel Company is the coal
company which stands in the same re-
lation to the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad as does the Union Pacific Coal
Company to the Union Pacific Ran
road Company. That is, the coal com,
pany is owned by the same intereste
as the railroad company.
II is stated that the governments q
agents have discovered that the rail
road and coal company paid regular
fee of $50 for people to file on govern
ment lands and to later transfer them
to the Utah Fuel Company. In the
case OF the Union Pacific, it is said,
the dummies" were paid from 81 to
$40, and in one case 5000.
With the Denver &c Rio Grande,
however, the price was stable, and
rushing business seems to have been
done. AS a rule, the evidence which
will be given to the commission will
show that the Morton Trust Company
is the concern which now holds or did
hold mortgages against many thous
apds of acres of lands thus acquired
by the railroad company. In many in.
stances, 1t is alleged, the Utah Fuel
Company would, as soon as the dun
my" had qualified by committing per
jury and by filing ON the lands, secure
the conveyance of the lands to the
fuel or the railroad company.
Then the lands would, in many in
stances. be mortgaged to the Morton
Trust Company of New York, and the
money be used, presumably, to develop
the property.

THANKSGIVING DAY.
Governor McDonald's Proclamation
Names Thursday, the 2eth.

Denver.-Followingi is the governors
proclamation calling the people OF Col
orado to celebrate a day of thanksgiv-
ing:
state of Colorado, Executive Cham
Der, Denver.
During another year Colorado has
received full share of the blessings of
Almighty God.
He watereth the hills from his
chambers; the earth is satisfied with
the fruit of thy works. He causeth the
grass to grow for the cattle, and herb
for the service of man; that he may
bring forth fruit ont of the earth
1T has been a year of progress, not
alone in material matters, but in those
things which soften the harsher things
of life, making it easier for those who
carry burdens, spreading the spirit of
love broadcast among the people and
uplifting the citizenship of the state.
Abundant harvests have been the
reward of our farmers; our merchants
have prospered, our mines have pro
duced their wealth. All lines of in
dustry and trade have shared in the
general prosperous condition of the
state. Capital and labor have been
busily and profitably employed in le-
gitimate pursuits.
"As we stop a moment from the
busy whirl of life to contemplate the
blessings that have been ours, we can
find no more fitting expression than
that of the Psalmist when he ex-
claimed. oh, that men would praise
the Lord for his goodness, and for his
wonderful works to the children of
men,
Now, therefore, /, Jesse F. McDon-
aid, governor of the state of Colorado,
pursuant to the power and authority
vested in me by law, and in accord
ance with the proclamation of the Pres
ident of the United States, designating
Thursday, November 20, 1906, as day
of Thanksgiving, do urge that the peo-
pie of Colora do, in their homes and
churches, render thanks to God for his
bounteous blessings of the past. and to
request a continuance of his divine
favors. Let us emulate the Master by
deeds of kindness and acts of mercy
and love.
'1t witness whereof. / have here
unto set my hand and caused the great
seal of state to be affixed at Denver.

GUNNIsoN TUNNEL.
Work of Lining 1t With Concrete Sue
CessfulIy Begun.

Washington.-October 26th the first
Of the concrete lining was placed in the
Gunnison tunnel of the Uncompahgre
irrigation project in Colorado. Work
was begun in this tunnel January IL,
1905, and on the first of the present
month 16,7S8 feet had been excavated,
757 feet having been excavated dur
ing October. The progress made last
month is considered exceptionally
good when the character Of material
ecountered is considered. Several
hundred feet of concrete floor in the
west end of the tunnel is already com
pleted.
The concrete plant promises to be
economical. Gravel is obtained on top
Of hills surrounding the main shaft.
which Is located 1850 feet west of the
portal. The gravel beds contain gravel
and sand of excellent quality in about
the right proportion for concrete and
the material Is handled only twice be-
tween the pit and the wall Of the tun-
mel.
Plans are being prepared for an i'm
proved form of drop for the south ca
nal and for the headgates Of the Gunni-
son tunnel. All outside work suffered
considerably from unprecedented
snow storms.
