NORTHERN PACIFIC
TAKES UP LAND GRANTS

st. Paul. July 23.-Renewed activity
is being shown by the Northern Pa
eific road in locating and securing for
itself land to which CLAIMS to be en-
tiled by the grants made by the gov
ernment at the tine the charter was
issued and at later dates. Employees
of the road are visiting government
land offices and looking up vacant
land lying In the vicinity Of their line
with a view to securing it for their
road.
Officials of the road state that the
extensive forest reserves recently set
aside by government In Montana, Id
aho and Oregon have so reduced the
area of land from which they intended
to make selections that they have
found It necessary to secure all they
could. A ten mile strip was added to
the original grants from which the
road might select TO make up for
losses due to the finding of large tracts
of mineral lands within the old grant
which the road was prohibited from
qppropriating.
IT Is under the provisions OF this
last named extension that employees
of the land department of the Nor
thern Pacific are now working to Sc
cure more land.

Winslow Arizona, July 23.--Almost
the entire business and resident por-

night as a result of a cloudburst that
occurred this morning in the noun

have been falling for the past forty

practically put business at stand
still. The cloudburst, however, en-
tirely unlocked for. came rushing
down the arroyo from the mountains
this morning In huge sheet Of wat

was inundated. In some places the
water stands three and four feet deep
on the level and the inhabitants of the
lower sections of the town are unable
either to get In or out of their dwell
ings
AT the Santa Fe depot and the Har-
vey hotel the water stands a foot deep
and the lower floors of these build
ings are flooded The water made it's
way into the battery room in the de-
pot, which supplies all the current
for the Santa Fe and Western Union
wires, and has nearly paralyzed the
telegraph service on account of
grounding the battery wires. The train
dispatchers and telegraph operators
are working in water over their shoe
tops. Traffic on the road is at a
standstill. The water stands over n
foot high in the Santa Fe yards and
the trainmen are unable to work. The
Harvey house employees have been
forced to vacate the dining room and

unmistakable terms the determination
of the administration to proceed with

case. The reversal Of the decision Of
the government handed down by the

yesterday. This decision. the presi-

prevent technicalitios interfering with

sues involved.
The statement in the matter made
public tonight by Secretary Loeb fol-
lows:
"The president has directed the at
torney general to Immediately take
steps for a retrial Of the Standard oil
case. The reversal OF the diclslon OF
the lower court does not in any shape
or way touch the merits of the case
except Insofar as the size OF the nne
is concerned There Is absolutely no
question Of the guilt OF the defend
ants or Of the exceptionally grave
character of the offense. The presl-
dent would regard II as a gross mis-
carriage OF justice. IL through any
technicalIties of any kind the defend
ant escaped the punishment which
would have unquestlonably been
meted out to any weaker defendant
who had been guilty Of such offense
The president will do everything IN
his power to avert or prevent such a
miscarriage OF justice. With this pur-
pose in view the president has direct
ed the attorney general to bring into
consultation Frank B. Kellogg IN the
matter and do everything possible 70
