HARTMAN LINES
SURRENDER HARD
Western Holdings Relinquish-
ed Under Pressure
Government Not Satisfied and VIII
Push Investigation Into Other
Cases.


Washington. April 81 1t was
learned today that the Hartman
corporations. whose ramifications ex-
tend to coal lands and other vast in
terests in the far west, are offering
to restore to the government proper
ties they have heretofore claimed as
theirs by good and ample title. They
prefer to do this rather than be
prosecuted.
Coal lands worth in the aggregate
millions of dollars are to be restored
to the public domain as result of
recent activities of the interstate
commerce commission. The commits
sion several months ago set about 10
investigate the land frauds in wy
oming Colorado and Utah. It
found that this whole section was
honeycombed with corruption and
its reports indicated that the general
land office had been either hopeless
lily incompetent or worse in permit
ting the railroad companies AMI
their allied corporations, the Union
Pacific Coal company, tie Utah Fuel
company and the Colorado Fuel ana
Iron company, to secure by various
and devious methods, control of
great areas of the richest coal lands
in the west.
Prosecutions Are Ordered.
AS a result of It's Investigations,
the department of justice was given
transcripts OF testimony taken at
Omaha, Salt Lake, Denver and Pu-
eblo by Interstate Commerce Commits
sioners Prouty and Clark, and was
directed by the president to prose-
cute in any cases where there was
ground for prosecution.
At the first suggestion Of prosecu-
tion, however the Union Pacific Coal
company has capitulated. It has
made a proposition to the govern
ment that 1t will return large area
of Wyoming coal lands to which it
admits its title is worthless. The
government law officers are consid-
ering this proposition, and, while f.
nal action has not been taken, It
was learned today on the authority Of
men who have been conducting the
Investigation that it will probably
be accepted and the lands returned
ito the public domain.
But this is only a beginning. The
particular lands involved in the case
were secured under Surveyor gen.
erals scrip" This is a sort OF l.
Icense issued by the general land~of-
flee to people to whom lands have
been patented by error which were
not really the property of the gov
|ernment. Errors of tnis kind have
been of frequent occurrence. The
scrip entitled the holder to his
choice of an equal area of nonmin-
eral lands anywhere within the pub
lie domain

Kansas City Markets.

Kansas City Stock Yards January 16 1907.

California Letter.

Having been requested by some of
the readers of the World TO write a
letter from California il gives me
pleasure To comply with the request.
To one coming out from the
prairies of western Kansas to south
ern California it is indeed "a revela-
tion. The city of Los Angeles is 270
feet above sea level, and is the larg
est southern sea coast city, its popu-
latIon being about 24O, 900, and since
the destruction OF San Francisco will
be the largest city in the state of
California. and should they be able to
get a good harbor here it will, with
out question:, be one of the greatest
cities in the United States. il not the
world in point of commerce. 1t is
degree of latitude and between the
10th and 1I2th degree of longitude,
and the coast at this point is washed
by the Gulf Stream, thus giving the
mild, warm climate.
/ scarcely know where to begin in
point of interest, but perhaps its
vegetation has an interest for some
of our readers. All kinds of fruit
and vegetables are grown here near
ly the year around, at the present
time the orange trees are hanging
full of yellow fruit, this heing the
season in which they ripen. Other
crops such as grapes, peaches and
smaller fruits also come in their regu-
lar season, but there is something
nearly all the time, thus giving a
continuous variety. | have been In
formed that in some localities they
cut sixteen crops of alfalfa year. 1
remarked that if a western Kansas
farmer could do that with his fine
stock and Saline valley farm land,
that he could. in about two years
come out to California and buy a gold
mine. The lima bean industry is
one that is largely followed here, 1
have seen acres upon acres of these
fields after the crop has been harvest
ed, and the men were cleaning them
up preparatory to another planting,
they are not unlike a Kansas wheat
field after ib has been cut. This is of
course great fruit packing center.
Oranges, lemons and raiseus are now
globe. The trees, grass and flowers
are what appealed to my eye. Here
are the palms, several varieties,
the japanese umbrella tree, the mag
nolia, acacia's, olive, eucalyptus and
many others which l am not able to
name. One strange thing to me is
that they are nearly all evergreen,
and that others instead of shedding
the leaves shed the bark. Flowers
bloom out doors the year around. At
present Gala lilies, violets, roses.
pansies and Towering vines are ia
bloom Roses grow into regular
trees having a trunk as large as a

fRSI SCHOOL LAND BILL.


started their fight before the legisla-
ture to ''save the farms" of the west
ern Kansas settlers which are being
gobhled mp by land sharks under t.re
re cent decision of the Kansas supreme
court in the Spencer-Smith case:
Representative Ike Crumley of
Thomas county aud senator Charles
Buschow of Thomas county, introduc-
ed in their respective branches OF the
legislature yesterday what is known
as the "Garver BILL" calculated TO
wipe out the claims of the old school
land certificate holpers, and give the
present owners of the land a clear
tital. The bill was drafted by Judge
T. F. Carver of Topeka, formerly OF
Salina
A portion of the bill as introduced
is as follows:
Whereas, certain school lands situ-
were sold to purchasers whose inter-
est in the land purchased was subse-
quently declared forfeited. on the
ground of default in the payment of
money due the state, and thereafter
such lands were sold to new purchas-
ers to whom certificates of purchase
were issued; and
Whereas, in many cases full and
correct records aud returns have not
been made by the county clerk and
sheriff of the proceedings upon which
said declared forfeitures were made
and in some cases the notices issued
by the county clerk to purchasers of
their defaults and the sheriffs' re-
turns of service thereof have been
lost OF destroyed to the prejudice of
the right of such new purchasers,
therefore be it Inacted by the legis-
laturesof the state of Kansas:
Where entries which appear upon
the records of school land sales, or of
school sale certificates, in the Office OF
the county clerk. such entries shall
be prima facie evidence. in any action
or proceeding in any court of this
state that proper notice of the pur-
legal service made thereof. Any en-
try upon said records of the county
clerk as cancelled, forfeited, reverted
to state, and the like, with or with
out date, shall be held to be an entry
indfcating that the interest of tt e
purchaser has been forfeited.
mo action shall be brought by any
purchaser of school land or by any as
signee of any such purchaser in any
court of this state to recover any tract
of school land, or to enforce the pur-
chaser's right or interest in the same
when forfeiture thereof has been de-
clared, unless such action be commence
ed, within six months after such for
feiture was declared, ~or, when the
time has already elapsed, within six
months after this act takes effect.
''For the purpose ofgiving fall force
and effect to the provision of each
section of this act, 1T shall be held
that either of the preceding sections
would have been enacted had the
other of such sections not been IN
cluded herein, it being the intention
of this act as far as legally may be to
protect all purchasers whose interests
have been declared forfeited and the
lands again sold to other persons, and
to that end, the provisions of this act
shall be construed. Capital.

mountains there. They were touch
ed with a soft beautiful haze some
what different in color from the
Rockies or Sierra Nevada's. Here /
saw the Irrigation which comes from
very large and all crops are raised by
Irrigation. We were IS feet below
sea level and the air was delightful.
They do not have frost there SO the
crops are always safe if one has the
means to carry on the irrigation.
The bitches are very wide and it is so
arranged that they simply overflow
unlike the irrigation used in many of
the states Mining, fruit raising and
dairying are extensively carried on
and anyone owning a fruit farm here
has something that il invaluable.
Some of the land is not available for
farming, being nothing but limestone
formation. Much of the soil has a
sandy appearance, but is very rich in
production. The climate in summer
is mild and the heat is tempered by
the sea breeze. In winter the rainy
season is colder, but spring sets in
early and the rains here mean to the
country just what they mean else
where in point of value as to its pro-
ductiveness. There is much wealth
here and some of the most magni H.
cent homes one could desire to see
ful / have ever seen. The city is not
far from the coast range and at pres
ent the snow-capped mountains are
plainly visible while the valley is
green and the birds singing.
On New Years day Z went to Pasa-
dena with a party of friends to see
The Tournament of Roses. The
floral display was beautifuI and it
was rather a novel feeling for one
who is used to cold and snow on the
first of January to stand under green
trees and watch a flower parade.
There are some points of interest
which 1 have not yet visited but ex-
pect to before / return. California
is in many respects most beautiful,
but for all / shall never go back on
Kansas. Here they have no finer air or
more beautiful sun sets, no finer cat
tie or farm lands, no greener fields OF
happy, prosperous homes than we
have on the sun kissed prairies of the
finest country that the sun smiles on
and fairest of earth's
daughters and second to none in our
hearts. MRS. FL. S. GIvLER.
