is BEING SURVEYED

Pursuant to decision by the
Secretary of the Interior, a
townsite is being surveyed at
Lund. The land on which the
town of Lund is located has been
in controversy for several
months past and the Interior de-
partment recently rendered a
decision under the townsite law,
by which the property was de-
clared townsite, and entry was
allowed to Judge Joshua Green
wood, who will have charge of
the assignment of the property
on which, buildings have already
been constructed, as well as Of
all other lots in the allotment.
County Surveyor M. H. Daley
began the work of surveying a
few days before the Fourth, and
on Wednesday returned to- Lund
to complete the work, which
will require several days.
The settlement of the contro-
versy will enable those who
have been placed in an uncertain
position as repsects their rights
to secure their lots, and to make
needed Improvements that could
not be made while the title was
in doubt.

Transfers who are obliged
to use the road up the canyon
have recently made complaint to
The Record respecting the con-
dition of the road, particularly
directing to the length of time
which bridges have been per-
mitted to remain in a dangerous
condition. This is no doubt
due to the difficulty encountered
in getting materials to the place
where needed, but the officials
should watch the road very
closely, in as much as there is a
great deal of important travel
on this road, and the one road is
the only means of passing
through the canyon.

But he gave orders that he
was not to be bothered by the
stock reports which come over
the private wire from Wall

day the worlds wealthiest man
refused to pay any attention to
anything but pleasure.
Scores of friends came to the

see Rockefeller. Many of them

Many remedies are recommended

that fail to produce results because
they do not reach the seat of the

west of Cedar City was entered
during the absence of the &C.

house thoroughly ransacked. 1t
is definitely known that two

by the misrreaDts. The house
was entered through a window,
which was reached by means of
a stepladder placed against the
