STROUD SHIPS WAGONS
ALL READY TO BE USED
Packs Them Into Condos Car Set
Up, Letting other Fellow Worry
over Getting Them out,

When customers who order Little Red
Wagons" in a rush from the office OF T
r. Stroud & Co, receive shipments
from the Omaha plant they are ant to have
considerable trouble in unloading the
wagons.
I. +. Stroud is something Of a humorist.
Business In the building lines has hecn 50
heavy this spring and 50 much grading hss
been in progress that Omaha manufaetur-
ers are having a hard time TO supply
wagons. They put the wagons together and
usually knock them down before shipping,
When T. 4. Stroud got a rush order for
wagons Monday he had no time to knock
them down. The big crane used at his
factory was pressed into service and the
wagons picked up and loaded into a gon-
dola car. How they will be taken out is a
matter of mystery, but they were sent out
Tor immediate use and sent Immediately.

BIG LAND VICTORY FOR U. P.
All Rights Wa Restored to Rail-
road by Court.
NO ENCOURAGEMENT IS ALLOWED
Judges Munger ReE5er Decision
Touching Original Grants
Counted as One of Most
Important I'm Years.

Denying the right of settlers to en-
croach upon the rights-of-way of the Union
Pacific across school sections Of land and
the unused portion of the 400 feet of right
of-way along the railroad track In Ne
!hraska, Judges w. II. Munger and I. G.
Munger in the United States district court
handed down a decision Tuesday that is
counted one of the most important rem
deTed by that court in many years. The
decision restores such land to the railroad.
1t will bring back TO that company a vast
area In the aggregate.
The decision came in the case Of the
Union Pacific Railroad company against
Cecilia Karges and others in Platte county,
where the defendants had made such en-
c~roachments on tie ground that they were
the owners of the school section in ques-
ton and that no right-of-way had ever
been granted the Union Pacific across
school sections.
The opinion states:
The pleadings IN the case presents two
issues of law. simply: First, whether the
act of congress granting the right-of-
Naya TO the Eniou Pacific Railway com
panv, granted such right-of-way across
sections IS and IS, that had heretofore
been set apart for school purposes. anC

EDUCATED TO IRRIGATION
People Are Trained to the Value of
Watered Land, Says Wakeley.
UNCLE SAM Is BACK OF 1T
Burlington Passenger Agent Is
Swamped with Mail Bringing
Inquiries About Land of
the West.

THE west has become educated to the
value of irrigated land said l.. w. Wake

ment was about TO open a new 12,OO0-acre
tract of irrigated land in Wyoming. One
days mail contained 80 inquiries as to the
new tract which will be thrown open for
settlement May %.
This stack of letters is an exact indi-
cation of the way the people are becom-
ing cducated as TO the value of these lands,
1t is an interesting observation to note
thBt I've years ago when we conducted a
similar campaign We did not get 90 per
cent Of the number OF responses we receive
today.
The government has put its seal Of ap-
proval on the irrigated land Of the west,
the railroads have tried to educate the
people with literature and exhibit cars and
the farmers now know that IL they get a
tract of land which may be watered under
one of these bitches they are fixed for
life. This is no cheap land proposition, for
these farmers know from our advertise
ments they must pay S5 an acre for this
land, and still, here are go in one day who

such right-of-Way by adverse possession.
First Such Enactment.
This is the first enactment containing a
grant of these sections, and upon the ac-
ceptanCe by the state of the enabling act,
and the states admission into the union, "A
vested right to these sections was first
acquired. In July, 1862, before any vested
right 20 these lands had been acquired,
congress granted to the Union Pacific Rail-
way company a charter with power to CON
struCt a railroad from a point on the Mis-
souri, river westward and granted TO such
railroad company "a right-of-way over the
public lands, the provisions Of the act be-
ing in effect:
THE right, power and authority to take
from the public lanGs adjacent to the line
Of said road, such materials as necessary
Tor its construction, the said rlghl-oI-way
is granted to the extent Of 2pO feet IN
width on each side of said railroad, where
IL may pass over the public lands, inClud-
ing all necessary lands for buildings, sta
tons, side tracks, turn tables and water
stations"
The opinion discusses the question of the
intent of congress in making this grant Of
right-of-way to the Union Pacific and Of
the conditions existing AT the time, Show
ing that many Of the provisions in the orig
inal act of 1862 were outside the usual
course of legislative action concerning rail-
road grants, particularly in view of the
fact that the Union Pacific was at that
time a national undertaking.
Amount of Land Restored.
Tho amount Of land restored to the Union
Pacific in the school sections over which
the right-of-way passes will not exceed
zoos acres from Columbus to the Wyoming
line. This would embrace about sixty sec

OF land restored Is about thirty-siX acres

much more painful than usual and the offer
was made with reluctance by the gov

Naval Authorities Favor Sec.
rotary NeWberry's Reor-
ganization Plan.
A MERGER OF BUREAUS
SECRETARY STATES THIS WOULD
PREVENT THE DUPLICATION OF
URGES IMPROVEMENT
OF YARDS.

Washington, Jan. 16.-Secretary
Newberry's plan for the reorganization
of the navy department was Endorsed
yesterday by a board consisting of
persons who have been prominently
identified with that branch of the SER
vice. The reorganization measures
include the increase of the membership
of the general board of the navy and
of the board of construction and re-
pair, making them more thoroughly
representative of naval service than
is now the case.
Secretary Newberry also has contem-
plated the probable merger of the bu-
reau of construction and repair and
that of steam engineering. thus avoid
ing to some extent the duplication of
unnecessary work, their interests be-
closely identified in ship construction.
With this idea in view he designated
Admiral w. l.. Caps, at the head OF
the bureau of construction to act in
the same capacity for the bureau OF
steam engineering.
The reorganization has further ap
plication than to the department al
Washington and contemplates the ex.
tension of reforms there to the 'respec
tive branches of work at navy yards
This is with view to reducing as fal
as possible all unnecessary work anG
he 1~rc01iHofi0v IF OF ho &c
whose duties are identical. To some
extent this already has been done in
one or more yards with good results
Board Offers Suggestions.
The appointment of this board wa.
| the outcome of conferences between
the president and Mr.. Newberry during
| which the subject of naval reorganiza
tion was discussed and at Mr.. New

invited to come to Washington.
A prolonged session at the navy de
partment, part of the time of which
Mr.. Newberry was present until called
to the cabinet meeting, was followed
by a luncheon to the members at thu
White House, when the question wa
again thoroughly considered. At it
conclusion the following statemen
was given out at the White House:
THE particular thing for which tn
conference was called has been achiev
