TERMINAL SQUATTERS
TO BE DlSPOSSESSED
SALT LAKE, is GIVEN TITLE
TO THE LAND
One Hundred and Six Persons viii Be
Forced from Their Homes un-
less Appellate Reverses
Lower Court

One hundred and six so-called squat
ters on the lower end of Terminal Is
land will be forced from their homes
and compelled to seek new residences
as a result of a decision rendered by
Judge Conrey of the superior court yes
terday. The decision is in favor of the
San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake
Railroad company in its suit to dis
possess the squatters of their holdings
of the land, which the railroad claims
by reason of lease from the city of
Long Beach when that city had tenn
norary control of Terminal Island. This
lease runs for forty-six years, to Octo-
ber 2, 1851.
No written decision was given, Judge
Conrey simply deciding that the rail-
road company had a right to its lease
hold interest.
The trial of the case took place last
month, the squatters making the de-
fense that Long Beach had no power to
grant the lease, as the supreme court
had decided the annexation of the ter
ritory to the beach city was not legal
They also contended that the land of
which it was sought to dispossess them
is tidelands, and thus property of the
state, and not subject to lease.
1t is probable an appeal will be TAKEN
as not only the land occupied by the
squatters is involved, but the suit indi-
rectly included the determination of the
railroads leasehold interests in the
lower end of Terminal Island.

AMERICAN FLAG Anglers
POLICE IN IRISH CAPITAL

p DUBLIN. Nov. 11.-Much excitement
was caused in Castlera last Saturday
evening, by the action of the police
in reference to the American flag. A.
large number of flags were hung out
of the houses in the town to signalize
the arrival of Messrs. John O'Calla-
CHAN and O'Meagher Condor. Almost
all the public houses displayed these
flags, and at one, that of Mark Nc
Cormicl1, Sergeant Kerrigan called and
demanded the removal of the American
emblem. Mr.. Mccormick declined, and
the sergeant then told him that if
he refused, the renewal of his license
would be opposed at the sessions. The
flag remained flying until the close
of the demonstration.
Mr.. O'Callaghan, on hearing of the
incident, telegraphed to the United
States. J. p. Hayden, M. p, has given
notice to ask a question of the chief
secretary in the house of commons on
the subject as to whether the police
sergeant acted on instructions from the
government. and whether the govern
ment would proceed to carry his threat
into execution.

HARVESTING BY MOTOR
ON AN ENGLISH FARM
Demonstration Capabilities of Type OF
Agricultural Motor-Tractor with
Great Success.

The problem of the motor-tractor's
use in agriculture has always been
one of considerable interest to me;
and 1t was with great pleasure that
last week / accepted an invitation to
attend at Biggleswade in Bedford
shire demonstration of the capabil-
tiles of the latest type of agricultural
motor-tractor, writes H. G. Lafone in
Country Life. The machine to be pub
licly tested was the newest model
tractor turned out by the Ivel Agri-
cultural Motors, Limited, firm which,
first in the field in 1902, has gained
many diplomas and awards for the
work accomplished by it's machines In
open competition with horsedrawn
implements. l was promised a dem
onstration of ploughing and harvest
ing by means of a tractor and, al
though the weather was of such ma
ture that no sensible farmer would
have attempted with horses either
ploughing or cutting until an improve
ment had occurred, the program was
carried through with the greatest sue
cess, the only hitch being occasioned
by refractory binder, which mani
tested an inclination to skid on the
headland of an abominably greasy
field.
Before describing the days doings
think it will be we'll to give some
particulars of the tractor itself, fol

bly, sprung. The steering is light and
positive by means of wheel and two.
rods running from the steering col
umn to either side of the front wheel.
The entire tractor weighs 80 cwt The
weight question is, of course most
important and the comparative light
ness of the tractor is distinctly in its
favor, for it overcomes one of the
farmers main objections to mechani-
cal haulage on the farm. In dry
weather the tractors driving wheels
are not provided with any special
gripping devices, the steel tires being
equipped only with small diagonal
ribs; but in wet seasons, or on greasy
ground, "spuds" are clamped to the
tires and afford additional holding
power. At last weeks demonstration
both the grip of the driving wheels
and also the cooling system were
tested severely, for the surface was
slippery and the ground so soft that
the tractor was compelled to do all
it's work on the low speed In spite
of this, however the engine did not
become unduly hot, nor did the driv-
ing wheels appear to slip to an appre-
| ciable extent.
The demonstration took place upon
large farm on the outskirts of Big
| gleswade, the farmer himself being

some thirty acres were ready for the

of these bins is that the entire

To XIII sparrows.

A method Of getting rid of the Eng.
lish sparrow pests is described by q
poultry breeder, whose yards were
visited by the sparrows in such num-
bers as to seriously interfere with
his profits. He fastened a small box
about four inches deep. on a post
FIVE feet high, placed just outside OF
his poultry yard. This box he kept
supplied with poisoned chick feed.
The sparrows entered cordially into
the new feeding program and several
hundred of them left bodily testimo-
malls to the palatability of the food.

and evenly, travelling all the time over
the soft ground at the rate of about
three miles. an hour. Naturally,
paid particular attention to the ma
chimes behavior at the headlands, for
it is there that motor-tractors are
said to be at a disadvantage owing
to the inability to turn in as small
circle as team of horses. However,
there appeared to be no waste OF
space, the headlands being left practi-
cally the usual width. The ploughing
was carried on up one side of strip
