LAND OWNERS STAND
AGAINST UNION PACIFIC
Railroad Seeks to Secure Old
Land Grant.

Omaha, Oct. ia number of land
owners holding land along the line of
the Union Pacific, are banding to-
gether to fight an attempt of the
Union Pacific to gain possession of a
tract of land 20 feet wide and more
than 1000 miles long. The railroad
bases its claim upon the provisions
of the original land grant from the
government to the Union Pacific rail-
road. The railroad at first was grant
ed a 4oo-foot right of way, but before
1t had taken actual possession of the
land the government decided that a
200-foot right of way would be sufi-
cient. 1t is the other 200 feet that
the company is now trying to gain.

lmmenee Crop Reports.

According to the report Of the dc.
partment of agriculture of Manitoba,
the $4,000 farmers Of that province
raised about 40.000,000 bushels of
wheat last year; over AZ 900 900 bush
els of oats; nearly 100000 bushels
Of barley, and 428,000 bushels of fax,
rye and peas. A total grain crop of
almost O0.00O,o00 bushels in a very
unfayorable year. The spring was ex-
tremely cold and consequently unu-
sually late.
ITO this can be added over 100000
bushels of potatoes; nearly 10000
tons of timothy and other cultivated
grasses; 100000 pounds of butter
and other dairy products {thess dairy
products wero marketed et s1,217 000),
and poultry, which included 100000
chickens, $4,000 turkeys and 10000
geese. These industries will in all
likelihood show a very rapid growth
this year because the season has been
quite favorable and very large yield
can be expected. A yield Of 100000
bushels Of grain in Manitoba this year
should surprise no one.
