EVOLUTION OF THE SEEKER
FOR LAND IN THE WEST
From Wandering P~rospectOr TIE De-
veIOps to shrewd Man OF Means
and

All trains to the north and west out OF
omaha Tuesday afternoon and evening and
Wednesday morning were filled to the
guards and most Of them carried extra
cars to accommodate the large movement
Of land seekers. Tuesday was homeseekers'
day and thousands took advantage Of the
low rates to go to Wyoming. western Ne
braska, South Dakota and Montana in
search Of homes.
The movement this spring has been the
largest in the history Of the efforts OF the
railroads to build up the west. II Is an
entirely different movement from those Of
the early days, when a man with a one
horse wagon and a large family went to
undeveloped regions and broke the virgin
soil. Now the settlers are travelling in
first-class railroad trains, with plenty Of
money in their pockets to buy the land the
United States government and private en-
terprise are offering for sale. The new
settler Is often a son of some prosperous
farmer in the middle states. skilled In
farming and supplied with plenty of money
buy farming machinery.
irrigated land is in the greatest demand.
The public has been educated UP to this
class of the new land and whereas, five
years ago. it was almost impossible to sell
an irrigated tract. now a large area OF
land is thrown open for settlement and is
almost Immediately gobbled up.

PROPERTY OWNERS KICKING
d ziegler Asks Reduction In
Assessment of His Harvey
Street Flats.

A plea by Isadore Ziegler to have re-
duced a 1000 assessment on his flat at
Twenty-sixth and Harvey streets was the
principal one which came before the Board
OF Equalization. Ziegler said he had
bought the property not Icing ago for
$780, 600; that 1t has been assessed last year
at S2i, QUO and could not fairly be deemed
to have jumped over 100 per cent in twelve
months.
County Assessor Shriver did not think
the assessment unfair, figuring on a
rental income basis. Action was deferred
by the board.
Other complaints of the day were
smaller, John NJ. Ware had $1,000 cut off
his personality assessment. Last year he
had 5000 in bank and since then he put It
into a building on a hitherto vacant lot,
this Improvement being. of course, duly
assessed as realty.

SOME OLD CASES HANG FIRE
IN THE FEDERAL COURT
One Against Union Pacific and Tele-
graph Companies Dates Back
Twenty Years.

The oldest case pending in the United
States circuit court for the Omaha district
dates back to September. 1889. The title of
the case is The United states against The
Union Pacific Railway Company.
The suit is based upon controversies be-
tween the Union Pacific Railway com
pany and the Western Union Telegraph
and Atlantic Telegraph companies relative
to the merging of the interests of the tele-
graph companies under governmental sane
ton whereby the United States is forced
into the attitude of plaintiff.
The case now stands on the mandate
from the circuit court of appeals to amend
the findings in the decree of the lower
court. Nc action has been taken in the
case for two years.
Another relic in federal legislation is the
case Of Annie Gross against Libbie Gross
and others in a suit for an accounting of
an estate. The case is a sort Of a family
affair and has been pending since 1899.
Since the beginning of the case some OF
the children of the litigants have become
lawyers and now appear as attorneys In
the case.
The Crosses became possessed Of con-
siderable property in and about Omaha
at an early day and through the death OF
some OF the original possessors of the
lands the case got In the federal courts
with various groups of lawyers, some OF
whom have died or withdrawn from the
case. In the meanwhile much OF the prop.
erty has become, dissipated in court and
attorneys fees. ~,
One of the later attorneys is ex-senator
w. V. Allen, Nothing has been done II
the case for a year or two and the CASE
now stands upon the exceptions to the re
port OF the master in chancery. The rec
ords in the case occupy an entire lowei
half OF one Of the big book cases in tn,
office Of the circuit clerk.

THE STORY OF THE WEALTHY


The Wealthy apple, which is one OF
the finest Of the fall varieties both in
color, texture and flavor, has an in
teresting history. 1t is said that in the
year 1853 Peter Gideon, at that time a
resident of Clinton, ILL.,, moved to Min
nesota, settling In the vicinity Of
Lake Minnetonka. He had been in
terested in horticulture and his first
experiments along this line consisted
in planting some thirty varieties of
apple trees together with a few pear,
plum and cherry trees, as well as a
considerable quantity Of apple seeds
and peach pits. BY 1853, in spite OF
good care, the severe winters had
killed all of his fruit trees but one
