Dry-Farming Land.

II was proved I'm the contest that
land close to and Of the same character
as the contested tract under the new
dry farming methods was raising crops
that were profitable. The character
of the land Is, however, such that a
few years ago no one considered II
capable of raising crops without irri-
cation and 1t is of character such
as has often In the past been filed on
and proved up on as desert land. The
decision of the land office recognizes
the new methods of farming dry land
and gives the case on Its merits to the
contestant and decides that land
which by the new methods win produce
IL crop without water is not desert land
and cannot be entered under the desert
land law. In the words of the register
of the local land office this decision
practically repeals the desert land act
as 1t has heretofore been interpreted.
John A. Luce. attorney for the defend
ant In the contest, stated tonight that
it was practically certain that the case
would be appealed to the secretary oi

with reference to their re-arrest last
Friday The latter nine, however, are
under bond to appear for hearing Au-
gust 90, In connection with their first
arrests on July 26.
The arraignment OF the aldermen
was featured by scathing denuncia-
tion of Schreier by the aldermen in
voived in his confession. All the ac-
cused officials branded the Schreiler
statement as false, despite the fact
that the prosecutor refused to give out
any of the details of the confession.
You dirty dog" said Alderman
Skrzycki, one of the accused, when he
noticed Schreiler In the entrance to the
courtroom. How could you say that

NO PURCHASE OF RUTLAND
Public Service Board Wants Facts
About New Hayen's Motives.

Asking for more light on the motives
and purposes Of the applicants the
Public Service Commission of the Second
District has refused, pending a further
hearing. the application of two large rail-
roads for permission to buy two smaller
roads says the New York Post. The New
York Central and Hudson River wanted t,
purchase a controlling interest in tn,
New York. ontario &c Western, and the
New York. New Haven & Hartford want
ed to purchase the Rutland. Furthei
public hearings on both applications will
be given at Albany on February 10
The commission points out that both
purchases are apparently for purposes OF
control only. and are not warranted IS
investments, and that this control might
injure the minority stockholders. Such
control of comparatively small roads by
great trunk lines. 1t is argued, has been a
fruitful source of complaint in the Fast
and it is one of the functions of the
Public Service Commission to prevent tho
use of the smaller roads as mere pawns
in great games carried on by the trunk
line system"
