HUGE LAND TRACT
TO Be AUCT|ONED
PromOntory CurIeW Company
Will Sell More Than
100000 Acres.
OWNS ALL WATER RIGHTS
ORIGINAL CROKER GRANT IN
cLUDED SPRINGS AND CREEKS.

Approximately 275,00O acres of land in
Utah will be sold to the highest bidders,
at Logan. April Il, Is and 1e next The
tract includes more than a quarter of
million acres, some of il grazing land,
some adapted to dry land farming, some
OF it irrigated and some in a townsite.
rms Is, however, not government land.
1t has long been IN the possession of pri-
Kate owners, and will be sold by the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Land company, at its
offices in Logan The land lies in the
territory north Of the Great Salt lake
and reaches past the Utah-IdahO line.
Until recently this land belonged to the
Crocker estate, and as such 1t has had
quite a history. 1t was contained in the
original land grant to the Central Pacific,
and afterWard came into the possession
of the late Charles Croker, one of the
builders of that railroad. He decided to
operate the tract as huge stock farm.
A ranch was fitted up and George Crock
er, son of the railroad builder, was
placed in charge. When the land, on the
death Of Charles Croker, reverted to
the Croker estate, it was divided into
two sections operated respectively by the
PrOmontOry Ranch company and the Cur
lew Ranch company George Croker
was president of both companies.
The railroad grant included the odd
numbered sections of land for twenty
miles on each side of the right-Of-Way.
In time some of the land was purchased
by private persons, but little was ever
done to improve these holdings. The set
tiers found that access to their property
was comparatively difficult, and that al
most the entire water supply, which in
cludes numerous springs scattered over
the tract, was in the Crocker holdings.
Good Fruit Lands.
Lands outside the territory but ada
cent to the CrOcker tract, include some
of the most progressive farms in Utah.
For example, TremOntOn apples are de-
clared to be uneXcelled The soil ia Blue
Creek valley, a part of this huge tract,
is almost identical with that at TremOn-
ton. Approximately 5000 acres of this
Blue Creek valley land will be sold with
perpetual water rights. The PrOmon-
tOry-Curlew Land company owns all the
available water supply there.
In this same valley the town of Howell
Congressman Joseph Howell, whose eff
forts made the opening of this huge tract
possible
As a result of Congressman Howelrs
activity, the PrOmOntOry-C urleW Land
company was organized the principal
stockholders at first being Mr.. Howell,
David Eccles of Ogden, II. z. Hatch.
company of Logan, Mr.. S. Browning OF
Ogden and Oleen n. StOhl, president of
Box Elder stake. These sold some of
their stock, and the treasury stock was
placed on the market in Cache and Box
Elder counties. 1t was oversubscribed in
twelve hours. The directorate of the
company includes Mr.. Eccles, who is
president; Mr.. Howell, vice president;
H Hal Chi treasurer; Seth A. Langton, for
merly manager of the Logan branch of
the Consolidated Wagon & Machine com
pany, manager; President StOhl and Mr..
Browning.

Returns From Baton Rouge

Boat Is Substituted, at
Least for the Time Being

Announcement is made today
that the steamer Concordia, which
has been running in the trade be-
tween Baton Rouge and the Teche,
has returned to Na:chez, and that
the Jennie Louise and a barge, a
less expensive boat, is to Ope1 ate
il her place
There is apparently some doubt
whether the Concordia, which
Captain Wilds says is in need of
repairs, will go back to Baton
Rouge. In one of the dispatches
Captain Wilds is quoted as say ing
he expected to be back with the
COncordia in a month.
The Concordia was put in the
trade a few months ago, but bust
ness did not meet expectations.
About three weeks ago the owner
addressed 4 conference Of business
men at the capital, urging that II
creased patronage was .Decesess
if the service was to be maintain
ed owing to the heavy expenses
under which the boat was beng
operated
There has been some talk here
Of operating the boat directly
from New Orleans to the Teche.

NINE WOMEN CONTROL PLANT
Death of Captain Charles II, smith Of
Aurora Gives Them Complete
Ownership.

CRESTON, Ia, oct 5.-(Special)-By
the recent death Of Captain Charles H.
Smith Of Aurora, H.. and q one-time citi-
zen Of this place, nine women are left In
complete control of the Western Wheel
Scraper works. a 81 10000 corporation Of
Aurora. Captain Smith and the late Cap
tain Beckwith of Mount Pleasant, a former
roadmaBter on the Burlington railroad in
this part OF the state, started this industry
many years ago when they were interested
in railroad work together They induced
the late DR.. Mcclure, OF Mount Pleasant
also, to become associated with them In
the business. Dr. Mcclure was first to die
and was soon followed by Captain Beck
with. Captain Smith continued to handle
the business for the widows OF his friends
and now by his recent death the three
widows and their daughters are left in full
control OF the immense Industry.
Mrs Beckwith and Mrs. Mcclure and
some OF their daughters are residents Of
Mount Pleasant and Mrs. Smith and her
three daughters live in Aurora. BY the
laws OF Illinois, which provide that GER
tain forms be compiled with 1t now be-
comes necessary that the nine women
elect board OF directors and officers for
the business. but who will, however, act
in only an advisory way while the active
management will probably be retained IN
the same hands that have so successfully
managed IL for many years.
