Trenton, N. j., May 9.-The remark
of the governor of North Carolina to
the governor of South Carolina has
now been eclipsed by the letter OF the
North Carolina executive to Governor
Fort, of New Jersey. An arbitration
and peace conference is to be held in
Wilmington, N c., to which New Jer
sey was invited to send three dele
gates. Consequently, Judge James B.
Dill. Justice Francis j. Swayze and ex,
Judge Howard Carrow set out for VIII,
mington. When they reached the
Carolina town they learned that the
conference was not set for this year
It will be held in 1909. They. came
home secretly, because they did not
wish it to be known they had been
fooled. In his letter of invitation Gov,
ernor Glenn, of North Carolina, failed
to name the year of the conference.
1t was supposed that he meant 1908.

WHO OWNS THE LANDS.
Question Concerning the Accretions
at Kansas City Before Court.

The accretion lands, made land in
the Kansas and Missouri rivers adj
joining Kansas City, Kan, worth into
the millions of dollars is the basis of
several suits in the United States cir
cult court where a dispute as to their
ownership is involved. Today the
number was increased by the suit
brought by Warner U. Order of Ken
lucky against Annie B. Wood and thlr-
ty-seven others included in the num-
Der the West Missouri Land company
to estab lish a tenth interest in fifty
acres of land worth approximately
100000 of accretion land adjoining
the packing houses in Kansas City,
Kan. Eleven of the defendants live
in Kansas, eight in Oklahoma and ten
in Missouri. Order asks that they be
cited to appear in court and establish
their various rights in the land as he
is unaware what rights they possess
In other words it is a suit to clear the
title and establish the rights in court
of all the various confiicteag interests.
A number of the defendants named
as owning an interest are Indians or
of Indian descent and came into con-
nection with the land through allot-
ments made to them when they lived
in Wyandotte county. Hunter Merri-
weather, who is an attorney for the
plaintiff. himself has been interested
in accretion land and has become very
wealthy from securing control of such

COULD SAVE THE WORLD.
If Salt Would Do It-Utah Has
Enough on Hand.

Salt Lake City, Utah. Sept. utah
Is Just beginning to appreciate the ina
mense value of her salt lake. The Chi
cago Inter-Ocean is authority for the
statement that the great Salt Lake now
contains 1880, 1863, 900 tons of salt and
784, 0S0, 900 tons of sulphide of soda. The
magnitude of the figures indicated is
hard to grasp. For example, take the
salt crop alone. The estimated num-
Der of pounds would approximate H.
$50, 1913, 100000 Salt WHOLESALERS at So per
barrel and each barrel contains 300
pounds. 1t is brief mathematical OPP
Grafton which discloses the fact that
the monetary valuation Of Great Salt
Lake in it's salt product alone would
be $175,6 SOB, 1892, 600. Last year the total
wheat crop of the United States was
estimated at $500, 900. O00 1t is therefore
S5 times greater than the total wheat
crop of the United States.
An idea of the bulk of the salt may
be obtained when it is realized that if
all the salt in the American Dead sea
could be barreled at one time and these
barrels placed one Oh top of the other

Omaha Neb., Sept. 4.-This after
noon the police arrested Miss Leona
Bonnen, or Mrs. A Rice. and will de-
tain her at the city Jail in connection
with the murder at midnight Tuesday

with DR.. Rustin extended over sew
eral months, but that she had known
him only as ar other patient would

Utah is about to commence to har-
vest this crop. 1t is estimated that
the annual yield will be about 10000
tons. The harvesting of this crop is
hops, berries or the various other farm
products. The salt fields look like
ground that has been carefully pre-
pared for cultivation by an expert in
the art of irrigation. Each field is a
perfect square surrounded by a small
embankment There is, however no
blowing or planting required to make
the fields productive. The salt water,
which contains about "a per cent or
nearly one-fourth solids, overflows
these salt beds to depth of about four
feet, so when the sun has evaporated
the water, leaving the solid particles
deposited upon the ground, this forms
a layer nearly a foot thick over the
entire bed. The salt is so pure that
1t needs little refining. The harvest
hands shovel it into white mounds, one
mound in each field, where 1t remains
until it is loaded in freight cars and
taken to the refinery. Some of the
mounds erected last year are still
standing, as it keeps the refinery busy
all the year putting the salt crop in
condition for marketing.

one of the most interesting features in

SAYS RESERVOIR IS
IN GREAT DANGER
COMPANY WILL HOLD COUNTY
RESPONSIBLE
Storm Waters from Mountains Have
Contaminated the Supply
Used for Domestic
Purposes

The board of supervisors yesterday
received a letter from Frank B. Scot
ton, secretary of the Maclay Rancho
Water company, saying that during the
past few rconths the storm waters
from the mountain have flowed into
the company's reservoir on the Maclay
rancho ex-mission of San Fernando
and have contaminated the supply of
water for domestic purposes
The company says it has already
suffered great loss on this account and
that the great volume of water may
cause the reservoir dam to break and
thereby cause much damage to prop
erty in the vicinity.
A demand is made that the natural
way for the storm waters be restored
so they will again flow in their accus-
toned channel and the company says
it will hold the county responsible for
all damages that may be occasioned
by the flow into the reservoir.
The communication was referred to
Supervisor Patterson, who will make
an investigation and report to the
board, probably at its next meeting.
