were cordial and certain political mat

Emperor Francis Joseph met his
guest at the Gmunden railroad station
and greeted him heartily. The en-

had brought the king, and the suites of
the two monarchs were introduced.
The train bearing the two sovereigns

WHOOWNS THE GROUND?
Tract Near Fair Grounds a Bone of
Contention.

The ownership of Hampton and
Twentieth streets from Bolles avenue
on the west to the Fair grounds on the
east is in dispute between the city and
abutting property owners.
In 1895 the Legislature declared va
Gated a portion of Martin-Dennis addi-
ton and in this portion the two streets
were included. The legality of the
form in which the special legislation
was passed vacating the land was ques-
toned and suits were brought invOlv-
ing similar acts of the Legislature with
reference to other vacations with the
result that the Supreme court held that
the acts were illegal This of course
indirectly affected the status of the act
vacating the lands in Martin-Dennis
addition. 1t is now claimed that in
reality this portion of the addition has
never been out of the city, that it is still
in and always was. There is no ques-
tion but What it is now a portion of the
city for action was formally taken in
Guiding it in the extension of the city's
boundaries.
Property owners however contend
that the street was vacated and still
is and they claim therefore one-half of
it on either side or thirty feet
Sidewalks were petitioned for but the
mayor has ordered that no sidewalks be
laid until the property owners are will
ing to give up their claim to a portion of
the street because it will become moth
ing but lane If the rights are rec
ognized. Grading for the sidewalks was
done but no brick will now be delivered.
Some of the property owners are taking
a different view Of the situation and
are willing to waive any rights they
may possess to the two streets.
The matter will be brought to the at
tention Of the council next Monday
evening.

State Senator J. E. Brewer of Abi-

on some OF the states money for his
bank. and while here made some
startling statements concerning the q
cent railway fare proposition.
Unless the state board of railroad

nat 2-cent a mile rate. as other states
have, 1 am in favor of a special session
mile law. We could pass such a law
without any trouble at a special ses-
sion, because the railroads have not
done as they said they would when we
accepted that compromise on the mile
age books. The railroads told us that
they would fight the 2-cent fare laws

we are under no obligations to stand
Dy that compromise.
The last session of the legislature
passed laws to give the board of rail-
road commissioners full authority to
regulate rates. both passenger and
freight. The whole talk was to give
the railroad commissioners power.
Now if the commissioners refuse to
accept that power. and do their duty,
the responsibility is on them.
THAT opinion of Grattan's against
the 2-cent fare law sounds as though
it might have been written by a rail-
road attorney. 1t is just exactly what
the railroads would have the attorney
for the board say"
Senator Brewer declared that the
congressional fight in the Fifth dis
trict between Calderhead. Smith and
Bullen promises to be a very hot con-
test. There will be no compromise"
said Mr.. Brewer. cit is a sure enough
fight for blood. I believe that Smith
is going to be a very strong candi-
date"
Asked what effect Senator Burton's
attack on Smith would have, Mr.
Brewer said:
"Mr. Burton is one of the citizens
of our town. and 1 don't care to talk
about him. He has had about all that
a man can stand, anyway. He is not
likely to have much influence in the
Conversational fight"
