the Hartman lines and over the
Northern Pacific via the North Bank
afforded every convenience and COM

could ask.
ut is scarcely to be expected that
railroads in the far west where pop-
ulation is comparatively sparse shoulH
measure up to service in the more
densely populated east, Yet, the SER

face of the fact that the equipment
was taxed to the limit, in no sense
suffers by comparison. 1t was a
splendid showing by the roads, oblig-
ingly ana efficiently rendered by
competent officials"
That the railroads gave good service
is very apparent from the Roundup
attendance. The most of the 5O.OOO
admissions were to people from out
side the city and they came here by
rail. How the railroads did it and
did it so well is a marvel 1t took
much equipment and careful organic

Important Court Decision.

NOTWITHSTANDING Shackleford of
the District Court in chambers at Del
Ia rendered one of the most important
down affecting the U. S. Reclamation
Service. John A. Masters, who had
proved up on 120 acres of homestead
land in 1904. filed suit for an injunc-
tion to prevent the officers of the
Reclamation Service from construct
ing large canal through his land, be-
ing a part of the west canal of the I'm
compahgre Valley reclamation project.
1t was asserted by the plaintiff,
Masters, that the reclamation officials
lad established a camp near his land
end had placed force of men at work
upon his property excavating for the
ditch and that it was proving very in
furious to his property. The Reclama-
tion Service took the ground that all
patents which had been issued by the
government since 1900 contained a
clause which reserved right of way
through the land for ditch purposes,
and that the government had a right
under that provision to enter on his
or any other lands.
Judge Shackleford made the injunc-
tion permanent and held that the res
ervation in the patent was too indef-
mite to be of any purpose and that
the only way the government could
construct a ditch through the land
would be by due process Of law. Thus
work by the government on the West
canal must be stopped. The canal is
the uncompleted portion Of the I'm
compahgre Valley project and was to
cost $4,000. The result-may be that
the project will be tied up for many
months. The case will probably go to
the Supreme Court of the United
States.
The question affects every reclama-
tion project in the West.

OF interest to Homesteader..

Washington.-The House passed the
bill, introduced by Congressman Ed
ward T. Taylor of Colorado preventing
contests from being filed against
homestead entrymen under any recla,
nation project prior to the time that
water is available for irrigation.
This measure is of vital interest to
the Grand valley and it's progress has
been eagerly watched. 1t is believed
that the bill will not have much trou-
BILE in getting through the Senate.
This is the most important measure
yet offered in behalf of the Grand Val
ley Project entrymen, as well as the
entrymen under all government recla-
nation projects.
The House also passed Congressman
Taylor's bill allowing adjoining own
ers to purchase isolated tracts of land,
subject to the order of q United States
commissioner, when the greater por-
ton of such desired land Ia highly ele.
waited.

Washington.-The relief expressed
in official circles over the bloodless
fall of Juarez gave way to dire appre
hension following the receipt of alarm
ing dispatches from various sections
of Mexico, showing the attacks upon
and the peril of American citizens.
From almost every section of revolt
ridden Mexico come reports of out
RACES. From almost every city Ameri-
cans are fleeing for safety. Vast
properties are being endangered and
life is held at low price.
Even Mexico City is terror-stricken
and hundreds of Americans are de-
parting for the United States, leaving
their property behind.
Among the acts of hostility which
were brought to official notice were:
The attack upon the Nelson Morris
ranch by Mexican rebels.
The threatened assassination of
seven armed Americans captured at
Fronteras, Mexico.
twenty-seven Mexican rebels and their
attempt to steal herds of cattle.
Attacks upon American citizens at
Torreon and the refusal of federal au-
thoritles to grant them military pro-
lection.
Attacks upon five Americans in
Guadalajara, who were driven from
their mining property near Butla.
Attacks upon American citizens in
Mochis and their appeal to Senator Lea
that he use his influence to have an
American warship sent there for their
protection.
American citizens are attempting to
flee from nearly every city in Mex
leo. In many states their flight is
being prevented by the authorities.
Great uneasiness is felt by Ameri-
cans in Vera Cruz, Oaxaca, Puebla,
Chihuahua and Saltillo, from which
places no information as to their
safety is obtainable.
Official Washington is inclined to
look upon the attack on the Nelson
Morris ranch and the invasion of
Texas by the rebel band as mere acts
of brigandage. While no action has
been decided upon in connection with
these two cases, it is intimated that
the American government will de-
mand indemnity from Mexico.
Manifest relief was expressed, how
ever, at the restoration of order in
Juarez.
The capture of the city gives to the
insurrectos a clear channel of entry
for arms and ammunition. The treas
ury department, as during the Madefo
revolution, will allow consignments of
all goods, arms included, to be re
