Sheriff Joe Shipp is nothing if not a
game fighter. After his jail term of
90 days is ended he will go back to
Chattanooga, the scene Of all his
trouble and notoriety, and seek an
other nomination and election to the
office of sheriff of Hamilton county.
There is much confidence among the
considerable political and personal fol-
lowing which he still retains that in
his ambition 20 be indicated by his
old neighbors and friends Capt. Ship
will be successful. There is deep sym
pathy in Chattanooga and Hamilton
for the aged Confederate soldier now
serving time for contempt in the dis
trict Jail at Washington. Hundreds of
the most solid citizens of Tennessee
feel that he has been harshly dealt
with. They believe the supreme
court might have respected his years
by the imposition of a fine rather than
by a term behind bars. All this sym
pathetic sentiment will operate to
make votes for Sheriff Ship if, as
seems at present likely, he runs for
vindication. The Ed Johnson lynch
ing is one of those unfortunate occur
rences not likely to be duplicated in
a lifetime and the probability is that
the next term of the Chattanooga
sheriff will turn out to be as mild and
tranquil as a summers morning. An
other term in the shrievalty would do
the old man good. In his own county
and state. and outside both, there will
be satisfaction if, as now looks pTOba-

Union Pacific Right-of-wny.

NORTH PLATTE. Neb.. July 31.-To the
Editor Of The Bee: | would like to have
you give space to this communication to
correct an erroneous statement appearing
on page nine Of your issue of today. in
which the statement appears in connection
with the decision of Judge w. II. Munger
Of the case of Union Pacific Railroad com
pany against Cunningham ct al, involving
the controversy as to whether the railroad
company's right-of-way is 200 or 400 feet
wide that:
The important feature of the decision Is
the affirmation of the title of the railroad
company to it's 400 feet of right-of-way,
which has been similarly decided in the
United States circuit court of appeals in
other cases involving trespass of the rights
of-way of railroads.
This is absolutely untrue, as there was
no such remark made in the opinion and
the case was dismissed for want of juris-
diction. No such issue had as yet been
presented to the court in the case. I de.
sire to be emphatic i'm this, because l know
officials Of the railroad company have re-
peatedly circulated the statement that the
court has decided in different cases that
the railroad company was entitled to a
right-of-way 400 feet wide. / feel sure that
this has been done through sinister mo-
tives to create the impression among prop.
erty owners along the right-of-way that
the railroad COMPANY has title to the entire
i0O-foot strip. At no time in any case has
any court decided that the right-of-way of
the Union Pacific was 400 feet wide. In
fact, the suit of Union Pacific against Gun
ningham ct al. was brought as a test case
to secure a decision II possible.
The opinion in the case of the Union Pa
cific against Cunningham ct al. is a public
record and may be examined by anyone in
terested, and at no place in this opinion
will there be found any statement by the
court that the railroads right-of-way is
400 feet wide. The nearest tina could pos.
sibIy be construed as saying such is the
following language at the close of ths
opinion:
The deed in question from Tabor to Gun
bingham of the strip in question show
complainant's alleged" right-of-way, etc
1t will be noted that the court say.
alleged" right-of-way. He does not sa,
their actual right-of-way, but merely tn,
right-of-way which the complainant ALLEGED
in the bill was 400 feet wide.
It was also announced when Judges w. II
and T. c. Munger decided the case of tn.
Union Pacific Railroad company agains
Cecilia Karges ct al. that this decided tina
the right-of-way was 100 feet wide, Thi
opinion may also be searched from one enc
to the other and there will be found n,
expression in it tina the right-of-way q
the Union Pacific is 400 feet wide. Yer!

WASHINGTON, July 31.-Orville Wright

Yesterday in returning from the Alexandria

is the official report made by the trial
board at the war department today. His
speed to Alexandria from the Fort Meyer
end OF the course was 81 1876 miles an hour,
making his average, AZ. 5S3. The Wright
brothers will receive $4,000 for their aero
plane, 5000 Of which is the bonus for
excess in speed over the contract re-
qulrement.

SMALL GRAIN AT CORN SHOW
Will Be as Large as Corn Section al
Last Exposition.
MINNESOTA MLLERs TO HELP
Testing, Milling and Bleaching Dem
onstra lions 20 BE Put On for In
formation of PubIic-Minia-
ture MIL n Feature.

MINNEAPOLIS, July 31-Cspecial)-Tha
the small grain section of the National
Corn exposition is to be equally as large
and of as much Importance as the corn
section was at the 1905 exposition, or as
the corn section will be at the coming ex-
position, is now an assured fact.
These are the special features which will
be put on in connection with the exhitlt:
Milling and baking test, in which various
wheat will be ground into flour in a min
iature mill under the direction Of n skilled
miller, then baked into bread, crackers and
pastry to demonstrate their adaptability to
the various purposes.
Electrical bleaching process, by which
some mlllers whiten flour by running over
a screen charged with electricity. This is
a spectacular demonstration, as by one
looking at the top of a glass case the flour
may be seen to change color when the
electricity is applied.
Grading and inspection Of grain, dockage,
tests for moisture. This will be the first
attempt at any exposition to show the
farmer just what happens to his grain
when 1t reaches the primary markets and
why some grain brings a better price than
others. This will be in charge of three or
five expert inspectors. The present plans
are to have the work done under the direc-
ton of five inspectors, one each from Chi
cago. Minneapolis, st. Louis, Toronto and
Kansas City. Along with the practical
demonstrations of how grain Is actually
tested samples of the various grades of
commercial grains will be shown and any
grower who brings a sample may have his
grain tested while he watches the in
spectors. Two of the inspectors will be
engaged in explaining the work.
To put on the milling test President
James f. Bell Of the Washburn-Crosby
Milling company of Minneapolis will send
the superintendent of the famous Mime.
apolis mills. together with fourteen or six
teen assistants to opearte the mill in tive
shifts. Mr.. Bell offered to do this ant
nay all the expenses, when General Man
ager T. f. Sturgess of the exposition and
Prof. c.. p. Bull of the Minnesota colleg,
told him the exposition was quite as muct
for small grain as for corn.
It is also likely the Minneapolis Chambe'
of ommerc will offer another whea
trophy. besides the Kansas wheat trophy
The Minneapolis millers are enthusiastic
over the exposition and at the next meet
ing of the directors it will be urged tina
a trophy be offered by the Minneapoli
Chamber of Commerce.
The offer Of James ]. Hill to give $3.50
= gold for thte best small grains has beel
4 stimulant to small grain growers al
ready and especially encouraging to tn
millers who have already begun to prof
by the work the National Corn exposition
is accomplishing along agricultural lines.
