PUT IN MORE TRACKS.
New Traeksee at Union Depot is Be
ing Added.

a force Of surveyors we're put to work
yesterday morning in the railroad yards
surveying for the additional side tracks
which will be built for the union depot
As soon as the surveys are completed
several track-laying gangs will be put
to work The work will be hurried to
completion without interruption.
Five or six additional sidetracks have
been needed at the depot for a number
of months on account Of the congested
condition during the day when the Over
land trains as well as those from the
north and south arrive At present an
average of sixty-three passenger trains
arrive and depart daily at the union
depot It has been found necessary on
several occasions to hold trains on side
tracks out OF the yard limits before they
could enter the depot on account Of the
shortage of trackage.

LAND UNDER
GRANT BY CONGRESS

Brighton, Colo, July 16-Claiming that
under the government grant of 1908, the
railroad owns 200 feet on each side OF its
track. the Union Pacific railroad took
forcible possession Of a tract of land COW
cred with stores. valued at $4,000, here to-
day. A crew OF armed labOrers built a
fence inclosing the ground in question,
and for a time a clash between the
tOWnspeOpie and the railroad wOrkmen
seemed imminent. If the contention as
to the 400-fOOt right Of way is upheld, It
will apply to practically the entire length
Of the Union Pacific through several
western states. Two months ago the at
torneys of the company notified those
who they claim were infringing on thier
right of way here and offered to lease the
land they then occupied to them. This
offer was refused. with a result that the
railroad company has taken possession.
The question to be settled hinges on the
priority of the respective hOTnesteads filed
and the grant to the railroad by the gov
eminent.

NO MONEY FROM OGDEN
FOR G. A. R. ENCAAPMENT
Town, Says Spokesman, Will Need
All it Can Raise for Its Own
Exuenses,

Governor William Spry, Captain Joseph
r. Game and P. a. Mcmillan, members
of the committee for the G. A. r. en-
campment, were in Ogden yesterday and
met with the local G. a. r. committee at
the Weber club last night. The object
of the meeting. il was said, was to allay
the friction that has arisen between the
two cities over this matter and to get
Ogden 10 contribute to the general G. A.
r. fund if possible. Speeches were made
by the three visitors setting forth the
great advantage to Utah of the great en-
campment. J. c. Nye. chairman of the
local executive committee, presided, and
introduced the speakers. Governor Spry
spoke of the encampment as a state af-
fair. He said the veterans were invited
TO Utah. He spoke of the support that
had been offered from the various cOun-
ties and cities throughout the state. Cap
tain Game of the general finance commit
tee. said that he fully appreciated what
Ogden was doing for the entertainment
of the veterans. He said his committee
would like very much to have an apprO-
priation from Weber county as there was
5000 still TO be raised, but if contribu-
ton was not forthcoming from Ogden the
balance could be made up in Salt Lake
City.
The visitors were assured by the local
committee that no money could be sent
from Ogden to Salt Lake City, as every
cent that could be raised would be needed
to meet the expenses here. W. l.. Russell
reported that he had had seven men in the
field and they had found eating accom-
mOdatOns for 5000 visitors and had found
1900 beds. The canvass is not yet COM
plete. J. V. Nelson, chairman of the dec
OratiOns committee. reported that all mer-
chants and citizens had agreed to deco
rate. The special lighting of the streets
has been turned over to his committee and
the council chamber has been placed at his
disposal as G.. A. r. headquarters Among
others present who spoke and took part
In the meeting were President A. r. Hey
wood. Of the Weber club; c. B. Madison,
chairman of the board of county commits
sioners; Thomas Lundy, w. L. Russell. j.

Places on the Bench.

Toxic July 17.-In the approaching
change il the judicial administration Of
Korea Japan does not contemplate the
adjustment OF extra teTrltoriality. The
question of the future administration of
the law in Korea has puzzled Japanese
authorities for some time
Although the Korean code was compiled
by the japanese, who also established
courts of justice. the Koreans have hith-
erto produced no lawyers who were edu-
Gated in modern law OF competent 30 act
as judges of plead causes.
The first class of Koreans educated in
law graduated last year. They are, how
ever. com aratively inexperienced and too
few in comparison with the large number
needed for the administration of the law
in the empire
Among the last acts of Prince Ito, the
japanese resident general in Korea, was
the establishment Of a central bank Of
Korea; the adjustment of the Korean
ministry of justice, made unnecessary by
Japanese jurisdiction, and the abolish
ment of the Korean ministry of war be

MURDER AT BUTTE.
No One Seems to Know Perpetrator
of the Deed,

Butte, Mont, July l6-Ross Titus is the
victim of mysterious murder according
to the verdict Of the cOrOner's jury which
today completed its investigation into his
death Monday afternoon. Ross Titus died
as the result of injuries received from a
beating on the circus grounds early in
the morning Of that day
The evidence clearly showed that
the man had been beaten up by some
one, but there was nothing whatever
brought out to connect the suspect, Pat
German, with the assault. German told
such a straightforward story that Deputy
County Attorney Barts stated that he
could see no further reason for holding
him further, and the man was given his
freedom.

road TO Seattle and Tacoma. Wash, and
the beginning of freight service through

have been crossed and two large rivers

streams) have been spanned that pre-
sented more than ordinary difficulties.
At its highest point the road reaches an
elevation of $3.50 feet above the sea
level. It required 100000 tons of steel
to build the road: 50 600 600 cubic yalds
of earth were excavated AMI moved;
the cost was in the neighbOrhOOd OF $50
100000, and it was built during d period
Of financial depression. The Pacific eN-
tension of the Chicago. Milwaukee ST.
Paul is from Mowbridge, s. D., to Seat
tie and Tacoma.
Construction work on the road began
in April 1906 and it was in operation TO
Butte from Mowbridge. over half the
distance. in September, 1905 The last
rail was laid March %. II is now ready
for freight traffic but not for psssen-
ger service. The bailasting is not I'M
ished, and the company does not intend
10 put OH d through passenger service
until the road is pronounced perfect.
Five Great Obstacles.
The road crosses the Columbia and
Missouri rivers, the Cascade. Bitter
Root and Rocky mountains, and tbess
five obstacles all presented Sreat prob

spanned by a steel bridge costing 81

l,270 feet long, and has a steel approach
al one end 12S feet in length, and an APP
proach at the other end PSI feet. AID a
timber trestle 1889 feet in length. The
trestle is filed in with earth and IocEs.
The Columbia river bridge cost close
to S2S0,000 and in length is $500 feet in
steel work and .623 feet of tTestle work.
This bridge was two years IN building.
The longest tunnel on the lire is
known as the St. Paul pass in he Bit
ter Root mountains near Taft, Mont. It
is S,751 feet in length. 1t was worked
from both ends, and the bores were only
one-hundredth of an inch apart Where
they came together, so perfect were the
plans. Two other large tunnels are 2,26S
and LAS feet long, respectively, in the
Rocky mountains.
These difficulties all considered, the
rapidity of construction was roi;.ark-

Mountain Scenery.
The new line is a scenic line. 1t passes
through four Indian reservations. many
fertile valleys and has mountain scenery
to spare. Much new territory is oDeTCd
up. to which settlers are already flock

passenger traffic. IL is said that since
passenger travel to Butte was COM
menced last September. more than 500
cars of immigrant mOvables have neen
carried into that district. Immigrants

their goods, and often several fami-cs
use the same car. 1t is estiuIted that
the average for these cars is two and
one-half families, which would mean
that 1900 families have moved b. the
northwest since the road was operated.

Three Of these reservations viii be

The new road is depending also Oh
Alaska for considerable traffic. The de-

in spite of the fact that il has produced
$500, 100000 in gold, silver, fish, fur and
other products. It's trade with the states

the greatest per capita that any nation
on earth can boast. This is held, how
ever, to be only an indication of what
can be expected in the future
Two Advantages Claimed.
Two advantages are claimed for the
new line. II shOrtens the railroad dis
lance between Chicago and Puget

means much economy in operation. In
this road, it is said. there has been no
economy in construction to swell the
costs of operation. Grades and curves
have been eliminated as much as posi-

crossed very quietly. There have been
