IMPORTANT DECISION
ON RY. RIGHT OF WAY

Last Mondays decision Of the u.
8. Supreme court relative to the
retroactive law passed at the last
session of Congress, affecting the
Union Pacific's right Of way thru
Nebraska, Wyoming, Kansas and
Utah, was a victory for the railroad.
It is stated that there will be many
ejectments in Weber valley where
farmers have occupied parts Of the
right Of way. Suits were instituted
at Coalville last week.
The suit before the supreme court
grew out of the original grant to
the Union Pacific by Congress. A
right of way 400 feet wide was
granted to the Union Pacific, and AZ
the country grew up cities. towns
and farms have been started along
and sometimes encroaching on the
right of way.
A Nebraska congressman secured
the passage in 1912 Of bill fixing
a statute Of limitations upon the
unused right Of way Of the Unior
Pacific. The law was retroactive
and practically barred the Unioi
Pacific from using or taking posses
sion Of the right Of way when it hat
been occupied for 10 years BY Al
adverse claimant. The suprem,
leourt decided that the retroactive

SEED FIRM INDICTED.

Washington, December 2.---The
indictment last week of one of the
largest seed firms in the country
for misusing the mails seversl
months ago by sending literature
broadcast over the country brand
ing Idaho alfalfa seed as infected
with weevil and at the same time
disposing of the same seed under a
Montana brand has caused quite a
sensation and demonstrates the fact
that the time has passed when cor
porations can make false and malic-
ious statements detrimental to the
citizens of state to advance their
own purposes.
The indictment of this firm, Ros-
enburg and Liberman of Madison,
Wis, is a result of the efforts OF
James H. Brady, wis has been con-
stantly in touch with the Federal
officials with a determination to
bring to justice these people who SO
viciously. misrepresented the Idaho
product, causing considerable loss to
the farmers and seed dealers Of his
state.
