So many officers are returning to

them at the various posts. AS to
the report that large numbers Of
recent marriages among the Off

essary, that may be true, but it is
the returning detached duty Off
GERS that is causing the problem.

Jurisdiction Attacked.

The defendant company took the
stand first that the interstate commerce
commission has no jurisdiction in the
case because the defendant, the Eu-
reka- Nevada Railway company, never
filed a tariff with the commission and
is not an Interstate line. Witnesses for
the defense stated yesterday that If the
amount of ore the mine officials say is
there were to be handled 1t would be
necessary to repair the roadbed and buy
better and more rolling stock and that
tins could not be done at the low rate.
George E. Stoker Of San Francisco,
attorney for the Nevada Transportation
company, said last might that his firm
would 60 out of business before it
would agree to operate from the mine
to Eureka. He says the transportation
company Is seeking to have the mine
operate this four miles and make deliv-
cry at Eureka. The railroad company
demands rate of $2.15 from Eureka
to Palisade and $4,000 guarantee
that the mine will ship from $50 to 200
tons Of ore day For a period Of ten

RAILROAD RATES ARE

Utah-Nevada Case Is Being
Probed by Commerce Com

WITNESSES EXAMINED
Plaintiff Insists That Freight
Charges Are Practically
Prohibitory.

A variance between rates the railroad
company wishes to charge for hauling
ore from Ruby Hill, New, to Midvale,
Utah, and the amount the plaintiff min
ing company wishes to pay, developed
yesterday in the hearing before John
H, Marble, member Of the interstate
commerce commission in the case Of the
Richmond Eureka Mining company
against the Eureka Nevada Railway
company and others. The mining com
pany officials asked for a rate of not
more than 1896 for the entire distance,

WATER-LOCCED AREA
IS TO Be RECLAIMED
Guy A. Hart, Drainage Engi-
neer, Completes Prelimi-
nary Surveys.
FARMERS FAVOR PLAN
Lands Are to Be Freed From
Alkali and Made
Valuable.
FARMERS FAVOR PLAN

Farmers owning water logged and
alkah land between Salt Lake and Og-
den and near Riverton will form drain
ago districts and drain the water from
their valuable farms within month or
more, if the plans Of the federal drain
age investigation bureau are carried
out. Guy a. Hart, assistant drainage
engineer in charge of the district of
Utah, with headquarters in Salt Lake,
has Just completed preliminary surveys
Of the land in those neighborhoods and
has urged the landowners to take up
tho matter of forming drainage dis,
tricts. He said yesterday that most oil
the farmers are in favor OF his plan
Surveys Are Concluded.
The preliminary surveys of 100 acres
near Syracuse, $40 acres near Clear
field and sixty acres near Mverton
have been completed and Mr.. Hart yes
terday busted himself with making
maps of the territory and preparing
his reports. These will be submitted TO
The head Of the department SO lmpor-
tant is the Utah reclamation work con-
sidered that s. II. McCrory, chief of
the investigation, has announced that
he will come to Salt Lake within cou-
pie of weeks and personally investigate
the conditions.
Among those owning land in the dis
tricts surveyed, who have agreed to
support a drainage district formation
plan, are J, j. Bennett, George II. Ben
nett and Aaron Call. All three men
have property in the lower lying por'
tions and wish to have the upper por-
tions-which the government man as
serts will eventually be water logged
drained at the same time. Most of the
alkali areas are split up into small par
cells and the proposition Is to nave the
several owners combine, elect board
of directors and either install the
drainage DR. system themselves, or let the
work BY contract, Mr.. Hart is of the
opinion that the cost will be about SID
an acre. A tile drain system will be
used.
