Night had fallen upon the sea-a
night richly dark and thick with stars,
which shone again more dimly In the
glossy heaving blackness Of the lagoon.
Patrick Wentworth, coming up from
below, saw her sitting there, and
stopped. He laid his hand on the back
OF her chair.
"Sandra," he said, In low voice.
The girl looked up and smiled. She
was fairer than most half-castes, hav-
ing gray eyes; indeed, Wentworth was
more like native than she, with his
hazel eyes and brown skin, tanned yet
browner by the sun. She was also less
precocious than her peers; at JIG the
island girl is woman, whereas Sandra
looked no more than sleepy child.
rs my uncle going?" she said
Hes gone.
81 suppose he has forgotten; he does
forget me often" said Sandra- Would
you mind letting two Of the men row
me back?"
mo, he has not forgotten; he left
you here on purpose" Wentworth bent
his dark head close to hers. He left
you behind because want you. San
dra-"
Sandra looked distressed and per-
picked. To Wentworth the trouble in
her eyes was a temptation beyond re-
sistance. AS he knelt at her side his
arm stole round her waist; he drew
her face toward him and kissed her
once, with fire.
"Mr. Wentworth"
Sandra's cry was an appeal, but he
only held her the closer. "Sandra, do
you care for me-do you care at all?
want you for my wife I'll make you
happy"
Sandra wrung her hands; she did
not try to struggle. But her submission
shamed him into releasing her; he
stood up, folding his arms and leaned
against the side. "I'm sorry startled
you. But you must listen. Your uncle
has left you here with me; do you I'M
derstand?"
my uncle left me here7 And he
did not forget me?"
HE didn't forget you"
Then he has sold me-" said Sandra-
IL never thought he would do that; no,
| never thought IT,"
She sat silent and still. II did not
mean you to know" said Wentworth
after pause.

which shall have taken the benefit OF
such sections either as an individual or
as a member of any other association,

by agitators.

Cossacks were summoned and the

police officials to quiet their fears, the
people are in terror lest the lawless

METHODS OF LAND BOARD.
Will Be Attacked by the Government
in Suits.

Suits attacking titles of agricultural and
grazing land filings in Carbon county will
be filed in the United States court against
both the Pleasant Valley Coal company
and the Utah Fuel company The vast
tracts of coal lands which it is alleged,
were acquired under Misrepresentation
are valued as mineral lands at between
$5,000,000 and S6,00O, 600, but as grazing and
agricultural lands the state received less
than $500,000 for their sale.
Charges of cooperation ON the part of
the state land board prior to 1865 with
the coal companies in acquiring the lands
are made.
Special agents Of the United States
secret service. since The Herald over a
year ago made the first exposures of the
coal land grabs. have been quietly going
over the methods employed in securing
the lands and scrutinlzng the affidavits
of the purchasers filed in the land offices
More than 1900 coal cash entries have
been made in the local land office, but
not one in fifty of the persons who made
the filings ever completed the purchases
Their filings have been allowed to lapse
but in the meantime title has been secured
by selection of state lands and the pay
ment of s1.25 per acre. This patented
land has been transferred to the Utah
Fuel company and Pleasant Valley Coal
company, which are seeking to control the
output of coal in Utah.

State Land Board Accused.

The principal charge against the state
land board is that IL appointed interested
parties as appraisers and slipped the ap-
plications through without complying
with the law under ar agreement WITH
the companies representatives None of
the entries in the register of the land Of
flee conforms the laws to acquire coal
lands according TO the authorities in
Washington.
In order TO secure coal lands il is nee
essary to file affidavits that the land con-
tains coal deposits, and SO per acre has
to be paid for it or SIS per. acre where the
land is situated within fifteen miles of q
railroad The law holds that no person
has a right to secure more than 100 acres
of land and no corporation more than so
acres OF land.
The grabs of coal land as agricultural

administration of Governor Heber M

time there are number of patents pend

When the state land board was created
In 1896, the United States government set
apart over million acres of land to dis
pose of to maintain public institutions.
The board was allowed TO select only nom
mineral lands The reports now on file in
Washington show that the state land
board has sold considerable tracks
of land which the geological charts
and surveys of the surveyor generals Of
flee designate as mineral lands.
Purchasers Word Taken.
The state land board, it is stated, did
not examine the land for the purpose of
determining whether it contained coal or
other mineral. The board accepted the
representations of the purchasers, al
though it was known that these filings
for grazing lands were part of the coal
companies schemes 10 acquire coal land.
The board acted solely on representations
without investigation TO determine the
faisity of affidavits of purchasers. IL is
further minated that the board entered
into written contract to sell these United
States mineral lands to secure state
funds. On compliance of certain condi
select lands which the applicant desired
and agreed that when the state should
obtain title the lands would be sold at
private sales. for s1.25 per acre.

selves as authorized agents of the state
to examine these lands and report as TO
their mineral value 1t is said that the
reports were prepared and handed in with
out the necessary requirements Of the

Affidavits Are Evasive.
An examination Of the lists show that
no affidavits as required, were filed by
the entrymen of non-minerd1 deposits.
The only sentence that the affidavit con-
tains in regard to the texture of the land
is: That we have caused the land men,
toned to be carefully examined by agents
of the state as 10 the mineral or agri-
cultural character.
From the inspection of the plats the
board knew, il is charged that
much of the lands were min
eral lands of the United States, for
they were designated As such. As they
We're mineral lands, the state land board
had no power to grant the tracts for sale
or to approve the filings. The affidavits
accompanying the filings were accepted
without question, or without hearing
They were approved upon the representa-
lions of the purchasers which, it is de-
clared were known to be false.
