THROWS LIGHT ON
RUMORS OF DEAL
Denver Railroad Man Tells
Where Hartman and Gould
Have an Understanding.

]. S. Whether Of Denver. travelling agent
for the Central of Georgia railroad, was
a Salt Lake visitor yesterday, and he
throws some light on the rumors Of Har-
riman's alliance with Gould and the for
meTs having acquired large holdings in
the Rio Grande railroad. He says that
through the kilograms Of various con-
structiOn companies and surveyors and
supply companies, 1t has been learned
that Hartman Southern Pacific rail-
road viii within a short time probably
build the lOng-talked-Of branch from
tap the enormously rich and extensive
coal fields west of Durango, which Mr..
Hartman and his associates purchased
from the Porter Fuel com pany for 81 $50
600 or therabouts about four years ago.
1t Is reported that surveyors are al
ready at work between Gallup. n. NJ,
and Lordsburg' finding line from each
direction.
1T is in connection with this work. 1
believe said Mr.. Whether, that the rIl-
mors have all started regarding Harri-
man having acquired an interest in the
Rio Grande. A complete understanding
with Gould was necessary before Mr. Har-
riman could go ahead with this cOnstruC-
ton work, for when his present plans
have been carried out he will have one
continuous line to the heart of Old Mexico
from Chicago and another from Seattle
to Old Mexico. The Pennington branch
Of the Denver & Rio Grande, which is
broad gauge, and which was built at a
cost of Sl,00o000, figures prominently in
the deal between Gould and Hartman.
It really furnishes the groundwork for
the theory that the two magnates have
pooled their Colorado interests.
1t is known that for some time the
Southern Pacific has been battling in
the courts OF New Mexico for right of
way from Pennington to Durango, and
the case is now in the territorial court
there, to come up shortly for a settle
ment- but in the light of recent develop
ments, it is believed in Denver by parties
on the inside, that Hartman and Gould
have already settled the matter out of
court.
The Hartman coal fields west of Du-
range are said to be among the richest /
in America, and il had been wondered /
why he had delayed so long in develop 4
ing them. The truth is probably that ne 4
made the purchase confidently expecting /
to extend a branch of the Southern Pa |
cific from LOrdsbUrg to Durango. This |
was blocked by the Rio Grande building /
d broad gauge road down the Farming
ton valley from Durango, and utilizing the 4
right of way that Hartman expected to /
get. This was really a very strategic /
move for Gould to make. as the building I
of such a road in that territory was or /
seemed to be- totally unwaTranted."

 "I can safely say that the work of development of the Arizona Bouse Cop per company has been carried on in a record manner since the prop erty was acquired during the latter part of December, 1909.

 OPEN FOR SETTLEMENT

SPOKANE, .Wash.,o' May 22.-Two million acres of agricultural lands in Idaho, Washington and Montana and I5O, 1000 acres of irrigated lands on re- servations in the last two states will be thrown open to settlement by the government this year. When under cultivation these lands will support 35O,0OO persons. In addition, private projects adding approximately 1000, 900 acres to the irrigated areas in Washington, Idaho, Montana and Ore gon, will be started this and next year, to be completed and in operation be fore the close of 1911. These reclaimed areas will afford homes for 800, 900 per sons, as irrigated land is supposed to be eapble of supporting one person to every two acres.
 It is officially announced that three reservations in Washington, Idaho and Montana will be opened the middle of next August. They are: The Flathead reserve in Montana, 100000 acres the Colville reserve in eastern Wash ington, 100000 acres, and the Couer d Alene reserve in northern Idaho, 400,' 900 acres.

Many of these home steads of 160 acres are said to be worth $1OO an acres The fetthnate ones will get them for a small fraction of that amount.
 While the government land in the ir rigated districts costs1the settler only the fee for entry, provided the home steader resides on it and otherwise complies with the provision of the law he will have to pay from $50 to $50 ar acre for water rights. This is paid tC the government in ten annual install ments, the price depending upon the cost of building, operating and main taining the reclamation plant on the land under the ditch.

His hair is Snow white, yet his eyes are as clear as those of a little girl and he hasn't a wrinkle on his face. His memory is as good as it was years ago and he remembers the faces of those he has not met for ten years. It is true that he does not jump about as lively as in years gone by and that he does not stop a runaway every twenty four hours for advertising purposes, but he can if he wants to. For he is far from being an old man-is John L. Sullivan. -

Charged with being insane, E. Lash am was arrested in Ash Fork yester- day and lodged in the county jail here last night by Deputy Sheriff Charles Mainz. Lasham arrived in Ash Fork Friday morning from Chicago. He engaged room at the Escalante ho- tel, which he occupied during the day and Friday night. Yesterday morning he was found lying on the floor divest- ed of his clothing. His queer actions attracted the attaches of the hotel and after investigating the case concluded that Lasham was insane and placed him under arrest.
 Lasham had a railroad ticket to Phoenix on his person and small sum of money. A gold watch found in his pocket was badly crushed. On his ar rival here he refused at first to leave the train with the officer, but finally consented when Officer Mainz started to force him from the smoker. Lasham refuses to answer any questions. He will be held under observation in the insane ward pending his examination in the probate court.
