destroyed building in the patrol wag-
on, where it will be sworn. No testi-
mony will be taken this afternoon

would hereafter handle her business
affairs herself.
Eyes, sir; | have appointed Joseph

suit and dismissing said bill.
The Supreme Court erred in not
.decreeing that the plaintiff, McCand-
less, being property-holder and
taxpayer in the Territory and a citi-
zen thereof, was entitled to the in
functions prayed for in the suit be-
cause the threatened acts of the de-
PENDANTS sought to be enjoined were
unlawful and without legal validity
or justification, whether he showed
the said acts would result in pecu-
mary injury to himself or not.
A fourth error was in reversing
the decision of Judge De Bolt. ap-
pealed from, that Land Commissioner
Pratt, with the consent of the Gov
ernor, had not the authority to eX
change the lands described in the
suit in parcels of more than 1000
acres each, said lands having been
leased; and in deciding that Pratt

change.

The errors assigned as reasons for
the decree being reviewed by the Su-
preme Court of the United States are
the following:
The Supreme Court of the Terri

junction in the suit to be continued
in force as to Governor Carter, and
in not decreeing that the order Of
the First Judge dissolving said in

reversed and held for naught.

ty of the Directors of the Union Feed

sible to get these gentlemen together
for a meeting until yesterday. AT this
meeting there was certain information
desired by some of the directors and
it was decided to adjourn over until

would be reached The personel of the
directorate of the Union Feed Company
includes Messrs e. d. Tenney, j. P.
Cooke, Geo. Robertson Geo. Rodiek

cry reason to feel that these gentle
men were dealing in good faith with
the Governors commission and myself,
and it seems to me pity that Acting
Governor Atkinson could not see his
way clear to grant further extension
of time, in order to secure an answer
from the Union Feed Company di-
rectors The mere fact that these gen
tlemen had the matter under consid-
Grafton for several days is evidence in
itself that they were not opposed to
the deciding of the land through the
scarborough property for the street
extension. A favorable answer from
the Union Feed Company would have
closed the matter, as all of the $17,5
needed to pay Mahuka for the extern
sion between King and Merchant and
the money necessary for the removal
of the garage and skating rink and
other buildings had been pledged to

three reasons to give me an extension

The three reasons | advanced were
these:
|. That the business community

the Mahuka site for the location of the

2. That the Government would ac-
