SUITS MAY Be DROPPED
Commissioners Think Government
Will Not Press Actions Against
Holders of Mineral Land.

That the suits brought by the federal
government to secure possession of all
lands containing minerals and sold by the
state as agricultural lands will be dropped
is the opinion of the members of the state
board of land commissioners.
1t will be remembered that early in 1907
the department of interior issued an order
directing that suits be instituted against
the holders of all such land and the test
case in Utah was the one brought against
Arthur Sweet of the Independent Coal
company. Sweet had purchased from the
holder Of a patent certain lands in Carbon
county which contained coal deposits. The
original purchaser from the state had Sc
cured it agricultural land.
At the same time the department ruled
that in the future all land which was even
suspected of having coal or mineral de-
posts would be withdrawn from entry
until the matter could be thoroughly in
vestigated. AS applied to lands already
purchased the department held that these
should revert again to the federal govern
ment as the state had no right in the first
instance to sell them even If it was not
known at the time of the sale that the
lands contained minerals coal.
The last legislature appropriated 5000
to fight the Sweet case, as it was realized
that if this rule should apply the state
would be deprived of hundreds of thou
sands of acres of valuable school lands.
The firm of Dickson. Ellis & Ellis was
retained by the state land board. but the
case against Sweet has never been
pressed.
The prevailing opinion is that the inter
ior department will endeavor to make an
amicable adjustment of the matter by al
lowing those who have such lands to use
them for agricultural purposes but re-
serving all mineral rights in the United
States. Recently an expert for the de-
partment went over the public lands of
Utah which had been withdrawn from
entry by the federal government by the
order of 1907 and reported that approx
mately one-third of it could be released
and thrown open to entry again. as it con-
tanned no mineral deposits to speak of.
1t is understood that another inspection
will be made in the near future which will
no doubt result In the releasing of another
large tract.
Such a settlement will be of great ad-
vantage to the state as well as to limo
cent purchasers of state land which is
now known to contain minerals or coal.
These people can retain their land and
use 1t for agricultural purposes by trans
ferring to the United States all rights
which they may have TO any minerals
which may be under the surface.

REMOVE CLOYD
WITHOUT HEARING
Principal of High School Is
Dropped Because of Charges
Made Against Him.

AS a result of the charges. Principal
David z. Cloyd of the Ogden high school
has been given his release by the Ogden
city board of education. This action was
taken by the board OF education at a
meeting held last Tuesday. A letter vas
at once sent to Mr.. Cloyd at Fish Haven.
Ida, where he is spending his vacation,
and should have reached him Friday.
For some time the board of education
members have been investigating certain
matters which have been laid at the door
of Mr.. Cloyd, and the result has been
such that the board decided to drop him.
On Friday Mr.. ClOyd came out with a
lengthy statement In which he said some
harsh things about those who accused him
OF Wrongdoing, and attempted to explain
away everything. His explanation came
too late, however. as his dismissal was
ordered several days before his explana-
ton was written.
A prominent member of the board of
education, when shown a copy Of the
statement issued by Professor Cloyd. said
that ~ his opinion, 1t would be a good
thing for the former principal to with
hold his wrathfui utterances and not force
the board to go any further in the mat
ter. He stated that the board had salts
fled itself that there was considerable
more to the charges than mere rumor, and
for that reason had decided to let him
out.
The cause of the trouble Is that during
the latter part of July stories. apparent
ly emanating from some of The architects
of the city regarding the offers of Pro-
fessor Cloyd to use his influence regard
ing plans for a new high school building,
became known. and at about the same
time some members of the medical pro-
fession began talking about the alleged
issuance without proper authority or
certificate to a local physician by Prin-
cipal Cloyd. These stories found their
way into the newspapers and resulted IN
the published denial by Mr.. Cloyd, In
which he characterized all the statements
as falsehoods.
Whether or not Professor Cloyd will
submit quietly to being thrown out OF
his nosifinn vet remains 10 be seen.

HOUSE AND BARN
ARE DESTROYED
Fire in Southern Part of City
Claims Buildings and
Livestock.

The residence of William H. Davis a
plasterer. at IDA South State street, was
totally destroyed by fire at o'clock this
morning. The fire caught in the barn.
which was partially destroyed before il
was discovered.
1t required only a few moments for
was with the utmost difficulty that Mr..
and Mrs. Davis and their seven children
escaped with their lives.
Another part of the house was occu-
pied by Bess Butcher and his wife and
baby. They, too. escaped narrowly.
Very little of the furniture was saved
from the house; the contents of the barn
are total loss. The house and barn
were the property of Robert Wills, who
also owns grocery store adjoining.
One of the most regrettdble incidents
nation of a horse belonging to Mr.. Wills
and cow which was the property of
Mr.. Butcher.
The children of the family were par
ticularly attached to the horse.
The loss to the house and contents is
about $500; the loss on the barn and
its contents is estimated at $1,000.
The men from all of the fire stations
responded to the alarm, and water was
South and State streets. The house and
barn were practically destroyed when the
firemen arrived, but they were able to
save the adjoining houses and the gro
Gerry store on the corner.
Shortly after the firemen arrived they
ran out of coal for the steamer, and so
pounds were furnished by n. 5. Larson,
who owns property toward the south,
which was saved.

SMOKE NUISANCE ACUTE.
Chief of Police Directed to Enforce
the Ordinance.

Following a communication to the
council that the smoke ordinance is not
being enforced. the chief of police and
city attorney have been instructed to
see that it is lived up to. The smoke
nuisance has become rather acute in
Salt Lake. but 1t seems that the exist
ing ordinance is not sufficiently strong
to prevent its continuance.
There is a move on foot to revise the
ordinance and put the matter In charge
of a competent man who shall act as
smoke inspector and report all infrac-
lions of the law.
