self Upon the Dissolution
Programme as Set Out.

NEW YORK, May 2o.-Two alter.
nate plans for the disposition of the
$126,650,000 Southern Pacific stock
owned by Union Pacific were approved
by the Union Pacific board today. The
first contemplates selling the stock to
the highest bidders, after the manner
of municipal bonds, a minimum bid to
be hereafter designated; the second
contemplates placing the stock with a
trustee without voting power to be
later distributed upon affidavit that
stock.
After the publication of this alter
native plan, Union Pacific stock brok c
from l50A to l47k, but speedily raj
lied to 1491a. Southern Pacific de-
clined 2 points to 95, and rallied a
point.
Statement of Lovett.
A statement issued by Chairman r.
s, Lovett OF the Union Pacific execu-
tive committee, after the directors
meeting, outlined the plan as follows:
I've propose to offer the
Southern Pacific stock held by the
Union Pacific for public sub
scEption, In way similar to that
in which New York city bonds are
offered, namely, to invite bids at
such prices and for such amounts
of stock as the bidder may desire,
with minimum price to be here
after determined under which no
bids will be accepted, with such
restrictions as the court may pre-
scribe respecting the amount of
stock to be allotted to Union Pa
y cific stockholders. Provision is to
be made for underwriting the of
fer in order to insure it's success
May Deposit Stock.
2-As an alternative we pro-
pose to deposit the stock in the
hands of some bank or trust COM
pany, rs trustee, without voting
power, against the issue of its
beneficial certificates therefor,
such certificates having no voting
power, but emitting the holder to
all dividends and being exchange
able for the stock itself upon the
execution by the holder Of an af-
fidavit that he is not the owner
Of any Union Pacific stock, AS
this would result in disfranchise-
ment OF the stock while held by
the trustee and as long as held by
any Union Pacific shareholders it
is proposed that in this case the
certificates should be offered to
the shareholders of the Union Pa
cific alone at such price as the
board Of directors may hereafter
determine and if that. at the time
deemed necessary, the offer should
be underwritteD.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE

Washington, D. G. Jan. 7.-Reprc-
sentative French has introduced a bill
providing for the designation of 32 900
acres of land by the Secretary of the
Interior within the State Of Idaho
which is now available for entry un-
der the Enlarged Homestead Act WITH
out the residence feature of the law
being imposed. In the State of Utah
large areas have been designated
where the residence, features is not i'm.
posedand residence may be maintained
within radius of SO miles. In Idaho
some 5000 acres have been designated
where the residence may be within
20 miles. It appears that there are
large tracts of land in the semi-arid
region of southern Idaho similar to the
lands in Utah which are available for
agricultural purposes and yet are of
such a character that water cannot te
furnished for domestic uses excepting
at exceedingly high cost Mr.. French
believes that the reasons that apply
in Utah for removing the residence fea
ture of thelaw apply equally in certain
sections of Idaho and that the laws of
