that the company violated the law in so
doing
+" The master. John F. Holland, holds
that the equitable adjudication would
be TO require the company to pay for
the value of the land at the time it
was filed in, giving credit for the ex-.
pense of filing. Most of the land
cost about $4,000 an acre to fill in and
is adjudged to have been worth about
that Some of it was worth more than
the cost OF filling, and the general av-
erage to the credit of the state is
found to be about $50 an acre.
Holds Waters Not NavigabIe.
The lake waters where the COM
pany desires to I'LL in are not available
for navigation purposes because of the
shallow water and rocks or are not
available for park purposes.
ut is the hope Of the company that
the legislature can be brought TO see
that 1t is to the best interests of pub
lie policy that a great industry such
as the South Chicago plant OF steel
works should be allowed to develop in
Illinois and should not be required to
remove to Indiana
Mr.. Knapp admitted some of the land
had been made by the dumping of
Stag, but said that the larger part of
this was embraced in a section of about
eight acres built inside OF one of the
breakwaters and in another strip which
the company was willing TO dig out If
required.

Foreigners on Tear.

Three foreigners last night created
quite disturbance in the vicinity Of
Tenth avenue and Jefferson street when
they threw a brick through the sa-
loon window of Phillip Casner, and
then fired two shots at the proprietor.
The trouble occurred because Casner
elected the man from the saloon after
the closing hour. and they reeked their
vengeance by putting a big plate glass
window out of commission. No arrests
were made, as the men made their es-

What it considers would be a 'rea-

it is mentioned that the Indiana legis-
lature has given the right to riparian
owners to fill into navigable waters at
the price of SIS an acre: that a con-
domination suit brought to secure rip
arian rights for park purposes resulted
in verdict of 500 an acre. and that

in the suit brought against the steel
company to recover lands already TAX

acre as the proper value of made lands
in that vicinity.
TT is the intention of the company,
it is said. to locate bi-products coke

one of the purposes for which addition

Mr.. Knapp said that under the de-

within its legal rights when it built
piers into the lake and thereby caused

J. w. REAGAN TELLS
ABOUT RAILROAD SURVEY

| J. w. Reagan, in charge OF the sur
vey now being made by the Arizona
& Colorado Railroad company. In real.
ty the Southern Pacific. arrived In Du-
range last evening from Pennington,
having travelled over the line of tho
survey from the south to Pennington.
As usual. Mr. Reagan has little to
say for publication, his work being
! strictly business At the same time
the Information was obtained by
representative of The Herald that the
survey IL about complete two-thirds
OF the district from the south to the
San Juan river. there being three
camps. one at what is known a. the
'Hogback' where the work Ia requir-
ing considerable time owing to desire
to obtain the right grade. Mr.. Reagan
says the survey when complete will
show not over 7-10 per cent grade from
Durango and s-10th grade coming this
way. II will take about thirty days,
possibly some longer. to complete the
survey Grade stakes are being set
and the survey win cut out all bad
curves and be above danger from high
water. Plans call for construction OF
bridges that viii not be affected by
floods.
As TO construction work Mr. Reagan
had nothing to say as that Ia out Of
his line. However. there are several
matters OF importance for Mr. Reagan
to take up and discuss with our people.
and 1t will be well for our citizens to
be looking after their interests in con
nection with the building OF this line
which appears to be certainty. The
Herald Is looking for Southern Pacific
trains TO be running into Durango
within year.

camps by way of Pennington In the
