was approved Feb. 8, 1887. thus
making the vital time in which it
is required that settler should
remain on the land in dispute from
the final filing of the location of
the road on Nov. II, 1882, to Feb.
8, 1887, the date of the act.
This land, if excepted from the
grant, cannot he made subject to
it by any act of either party, and
the only question at issue is wheth-
err the land was in the hands of
the settler during all the vital
time, the law being very plain as
to the rights of both claimants.
The decision will be made accord
ing to the proof now in and before
the court. So why is it delayed.
Is it possible that 1t has been
overlooked all this time, or has
some one not discharged their
duty. If the latter, what could be
the reason for this?
We do not want to think that
four courts could be induced to per-
NIT a case put off, and let it die
out in the interest of the railroad
but we are made to wonder like
the parties directly interested wha
is the reason. Editors are some
time better posted on matters o.
this kind than we common clop
hoppers, SO we ask for the reason
why there has been no decision
and the case permitted to remain
on the docket SO long without &C
ton. CL0D HOPPER.

The Undecided Claims of Settlers.
Bentley. La, June 3, 1911.


Editor Colfar Chronicle:
Why do the suits against the
New Orleans Pacific Ry. Co., filed
by the United States to reconvey
certain tracts of land contested by
settlers, remain undecided We
understand these suits have been
pending some Is or Is years, and
all the testimony has been in for
a long. time. In some cases the
parties have died and in other
cases moved off the lands. This
is long time to wait, if one is en-
titled to the lands. If we under
stand the case, it belongs TO the
railroad company, or was excepted
from the grant and should be held
for the settler. This decision Is
needed to settle the title to the
lands involved, and the question
is, why are the decisions delayed?
Nearly every case represents peo-
pie that are unable to employ at
torneys to look after their interest,
and it would seem that it would
do no good to pay al attorney, as
the United States have suits IN
the interest of the settler. They
have no more title to their lands
now than when they contested IL
years ago. 1t looks like there
should be- some action taken in
the matter and the case settled
Nothing can be gained by putting
these cases off, except that the
railway people may get the timber
off before the case is decided, an6
possibly make a compromise for
less thanit would cost to buy the
timber, if the suit was decided il
favor of the government, and thu
contestant allowed to prove up hi
claim.
In Sec. 2 of the Acts of 1887 w
find that it reads as follows
provided, that all said lands &C.
cupied by actnal settlers at thu
date Of definite location of sale
road and still remaining in theil
possession. or in possession o
their heirs or assigns, shall b

SAYS CHARITY WORK
NEEDS DIRECTION
Field Secretary Mclean Sus-
gests System for Efforts
in Salt Lake.

Francis III. Mclean. field secretary OF
The National Association OF Societies for
Organizing Charities, has devoted his
time since his arrival in Salt Lake Mon
day 10 investigating the state OF the
charitable work being done by different
organizations of this city, for which pur-
pose he came from Chicago specially at
The invitation of local charity workers.
Mr.. Mclean SAYS that the results of
his Investigations thus far have shown
Lake should be. put on systematic
basis There should be a registry OF
those desiring the MD Of the charities
association and churches and other
bodies doing charitable work for the re-
llsf OF the poor OF the city should com
bine their efforts in such way that the
funds and supplies distrihuted should NOT
be duplicated. aud so that only the really
deserving should receive tho help OF the
association.
According TO Mr.. Mclean, about $4,000
annually ia available for use in charitable
work in Salt Lake. There should be
available in q. city OF its size. he states.
between $4,000 and $1,000. From the fact
that three or four years ago there were
about three hundred persons to be taken
number has now Increased TO 500 without
any Increase In the amount OF money re-
ceived the necessity for system In the
charities organizations Is clear. he says.
Mfr. Mclean says he has learned from
business men with whom he has con
suited that they are asked 10 contribute
TO first one and then another OF the va
rious charities, not only In Salt Lake
but also in other localities. ii Is his
idea that a systematic solicitation or
these contributions by the association
would bring better results and the money
received could be applied in a more sat-
isfactory manner
The registry OF the deserving poor and
the thorough examination as 10 the actual
ability Of the heads Of families to pro-
vide would result in a greater amount OF
money being available for use in the re-
duccd number OF cnses,
Mr.. Mclean expects to meet with the
members OF the board OF the charity as
ISOLATION tomorrow. To this meeting Will
be invited many business men 10 discuss
plans for the organization OF the local
charities.

THINK CITY NEEDS
MORE PATROLME|V
Board of Governors of Com

of twenty-five.

Believing that In the interest OF pub

needs a material enlargement OF its po-

OF the Commercial club passed resolu-
tions yesterday asking the new adnninls-
tration to appoint twenty five additional
patrolmen 10 serve permanently on the
police force. The resolutions will be sub
mitted TO the commissioners Immediately
upon their taking office
When asked last night as TO his POSI-
ton in regard to sucn an increase in the
d department, Mayor-elect Park said that
no thought lad been given the subject
as yet. but that il the increase can be
shown to be justifable II Will be made
without question.
81 realize said Mr. Park, that Salt
Lake has fewer patrolmen in proportion
TO Its population than almost any city
] have visited recently, but as TO the
inadequacy OF the police department on
this score l am not prepared TO say
However. II Salt Lake needs twenty five
additional patrolmen. 1t shall certainly
have them
The city is not adequately patrolled, 3"
said Joseph r. Caine. secretary of the
Commercial club, in speaking OF the
boards action. This Is due TO lack or
numbers in the department rather than
10 any lack OF efficiency The board
had In mind the increase OF eight men In
each patrol shift when i; passed its reso-
luton"
