EXTRAVAGANCE OF PRESENT
ADMINISTRATION.

Councilman Austin voted against
the mayors proposition. presented to
the council a week ago last Monday.
TO authorize an auditing committee to
go over the waterworks accounts and
to have the city engineer employ an
other engineer. at an expense of not
more than $3.50. to examine the physI-
cal condition Of the water system.
Mr., Austin says he is not opposed
to an audit Of the books of the water
works department, In fact he favoYs
such a move, but he is emphatic i'm
his opposition TO any effort on the
part of the city council to expend the
city's money In hiring mon to do the
work of those servants of the city who
are obligated to do that work.
Mr. Austin Is right There is too
much of this loose method in city af-
fairs. The taxpayers money is hand
ed out from the treasury without that
careful consideration which heads Of
private concerns give to their own
finances. And this is all wrong

TRAITOR BROTHER
CAUSES ARRESTS

Louisville, Ky. Aug 20-Flippancy
With the station agent of Louisville &
Nashville railroad and dlshonor among
thieves are among the causes revealed
today for the arrest OF John Roberts.
the Million Peso counterfeiter.
Roberts. confessedIy chief maker
OF the spurious notes. was readily To-
Gated near Simpsonville. because the
agent approached by Deputy United
States Marshal Blaires. remembered
that fat guy in alighting from a
train some days before. had called him
old sport"
The treachery ascribed by John Rob
erts is against his brother. Marion.
who, he says, stole some of the Mex
lean notes from the trunk and used
them 10 make the proposition TO ].
NJ. Fetter e Co. Louisville Brokers.
which led TO Marion's capture.
John Roberts, who with his brother.
is in jail under a $4,000 federal bond,
declared that when he had made his
millions. he had considered 1t enough
for any man and had, one dark night.
sunk the plates in the Ohio river.
John Roberts examined Mexican
money carefully when he was en-
played as engineer on a Mexican rail-.
road and for the last five years. in
New York, he had been experimenting
in the making OF pesos until his work
became almost perfect
Brother Too Greedy
Had Marion Roberts shared ONLY the
small ambitions of his brother and
been content to go with John week
ago TO Mexico and dispose of the
million John declares they would
have been living off the proceeds for
years TO come

ONLY ANOTHER KNOCK,
(Mornlng Examiner)

The Salt Lake Tribune has been
one of the persistent knockers" OF
Ogden. The Tribune never sees any.
thing good in this city. and II never
overlooks an opportunity to print mis-
leading articles about Ogden and It's
people. IL IL cannot find anything
quite mean enough TO say about this
city in the regular course of events,
il manufactures something to fill the
bill Nor is the Tribune in the least
troubled with conscience Indeed. the
Tribune would as soon print a false
hood as the truth. H. in fact. IL does
not lean quite strongly toward the
former
This is we'll Illustrated by the
Tribune's account OF the street car
collision In Ogden Canyon Wedncs-
day. The Trlbunes story of this ac-
cident was deliberate mistatement
of the facts. The Tribune had ever
so many people seriously injured Not
n few suffered broken legs and arms
and fractured knee caps were COM
mon. according TO the Tribune. One
man sustained the fracture OF both
his patellas, and doubtless would
have had more busted" had he been
possessed of more than two legs.
The superintendent of the OG-
den Rapid Transit company
branded the Tribunes account
as malicious falSehood. He
was the driver of one of the cars.
Numerous passengers on the cars bore
testimony that. aside from being Sc
verely shaken. and a few slight
bruises, they suffered no i'll effects
from their experience. Motorman
De Loney was the only person severe
ly injured.
II now develops ,Lat the Tribune
did not get this wonderful piece OF
news from the regular source in Og-
den, whence II Is served with the
chronicles of Ogden happenings. 1t
appears that the Tribune sent mar
velous journalist 10 Ogden to start
something" He happened TO be on
one OF the cars. He saw his oppor-
tunity to make good In the Starting
something" business. and he took ad-
vantage of IL, fearing that the oppor-
tunity Ike all opportunities, would
not knock at his door again.
So the Tribune's special emlssary
returned home and sat him down to
write He labored and brought forth
the wierd story that disgraced the
Tribune's page Thursday morning
And this is the sort OF drivel that
the people OF Ogden arc paying their
good money for when they subscribe
for the Tribune They ought to be
ashamed of themselves, Presently
one will be forced TO the belief that
the people of Ogden really enjoy be-
ing mlsrepresented and lied about,

THE ENTIRE RIGHT.OF.WAY
REVERTS TO RAILROAD.

a decision of vast Importance was
rendered In Omaha a week ago today
when Judge Munger, in the federal
court, declared the Union Pacific rail
road company TO be entitled to a 400
foot rightof-way the entire distance
from Omaha 10 Ogden. The suit in
which the decision was rendered was
brought against Charles Kargers and
others. who own land In the vicinity
of North Platte. Neb.
Six months ago the Union Pacific
served notice in ejectment against
Kargers and others. requesting them
to abandon that portion of land Includ-
ed in the 400 feet. on either side Of
the track They refused and the mat
ter was taken into court. where argu.
ments were heard some weeks ago.
An appeal will be taken. and In the
meantime no action VIII be taken by
tho railroad company
In the event the supreme court
should affirm the decision of Judge
Munger IL VIII mean that thousands OF
acres Of land between Omaha and Og-
den, sold by the Union Pacific will re.
vert TO the Company. as In all OF the
old deeds only 100 feet of right of way
was mentioned,
Now the Union Pacific contends that
under the land grant of 1862 the com
pany was given strip cf right Of way
400 feet Wide. and the conditions were
that If used for purposes othe. than
railrcad It would revert to the Uaited
States.
A representative of the Union Pa
ciflc in discussing the effect of the de.
cislon explains that 1t has been held
that the railroad company cannot lose
title TO the lands granted by Congress
through adverse possession or other
While the railroad has for years sold
the alternate sections granted by the
federal government, it Is now In posi-
ton 10 claim title to those lands, al
though they may have been purchased
In good faith by actual settlers.
IT is not likely that the company
would seek TO dispossess such set
tiers said an attorney, for tho I'm
Ion Pacific has always been most lib.
eral with settlers. as it IS TO the In.
terest of the road to havo the terri.
tory along It's line built up.
In the case of squatters. and those
whose title 10 lands is not acknowl-
edged by the company, Of course the
decision will be Of value to the com
pany."

contained in Judge Mupger's decision.
