IA E TIDE OF C0LONISTS
MAY Be EXPECTED

The Southern Pacific's eastern ag-
ents report that n large tide OF colon
list travel can be expected to the coast
about the end OF the month. as many
are holding back TO the last moment
before the cheap rates go out of ef-
feet. From present indications Call
fornia will receive more than 10000
people during April, and the majority
are bona fide home seekers. The San
Joaquin and Sacramento valleys are
receiving the bulk Of the immigration
The report of this immense travel
and immigration shows that more Of
these people passed through Ogden
this spring and last spring than
through any other city in the west sit
uated on the trunk lines from the east
to the west 1t means that Ogden
is truly junction city and that 1t Is
an enyiable point of passenger traf-
f!c in the intermountain section Of
country,
In discussing the Importance of the
travel that passes through ogden a
business man of the city stated last
evening that 1t is quite certain that
Ogden is not fully aware Of the fact
that the advantages of the city with
its unbounded resources and natural
facilities are not sufficiently brought
to the notice of the travelling pub

Of money and for the establishment of
homes.

such facts as would have shown them
not TO be bound by the transactions
between the original bondholders and
the defendant company and having
failec so to do and the court not know,
ing which, If any. holders of such
bonds are bona fide purchasers for
value, ii is impossible for the court to
make finding upon that subject,
Subsequent to the issuance of the
bends heretofore spoken Of, amount
Ing to the sum Of forty thousand dol
lars. the defendant company Issued
twenty thousand more, which were
sold proportionately amongst its
stockholders at the rate of fifty cents
upon the dollar. 1t may be that this
transaction is somewhat questionable,
but at the same time the books of
the company do show the receipt
Of the ten thousand dollars from the
sale of these bonds, although they do
not disclose the names of the indi,
y'duals to whom they were sold It
seems to the court, therefore, that
there is nothing in the record to indi-
cate that there was an actual fraud
in this transaction. and the uncontra
veTted testimony shows that there
was no consideration for the sale of
the bonds, so that they must be held
to be valid lien upon the property
herein In question.
II is true that not only as to the
second issue of bonds, but also as to
the first issue, the defendant railroad
company by its officers has compla.
Gently answered. admitting all the al
legations of the complaint, SO that as
between the company and the trustee
fer the bondholderS there is no reason
why judgment should not be entered.
but il seems to the court 1t would con-
stitute a fraud upon the defendant
Smith. who Is a judgment creditor. to
permit this first issue of bonds, which
constitute nothing more nor less than
prizes given to the original owners
OF the property later acquired by the
defendant company, to be foreclosed
against the company and allow them

ment. 1t is ordered. therefore, that

tember OF the same year he was reim-
bursed for the portion OF the purchase
price advanced for the others who
were interested with him and. there
fore, acted throughout the transac-
tlon as the trustee for his associates.
In other words. David Eccles and the
person who were associated with him
joined together as a sort of Syndi-
cate to purchase the properties in

einal purchase that to clear the prop
critics Of certain Indebtedness existing
against them, consisting particularly
OF insurance and water stock. II was
necessary to assess each of those In

Of the amount subscribed by him. and
thus the additional sum of two thous-
and dollars was contributed Later.

making improvements. ten thousand
dollars were required, whcreupon an"
other assessment was levied and this
amount was contributed by the per
sons interested In proportion to the
amounts originally contributed. Sub
