Something Afoot

Ii it is true that keuhn 4 Loeb,
the famous New York bankers
are also acquiring control Of the
Rio Grande, then there is some
hope for a broad gauge next
year. These tinancieis stood be-
hind Hartman in his railroad
building. They are not wreckers
like the Gould crowd, and this
may account for the real activity
in laying OF broadgauge ties
which has been noticed OF late on
the third division.
An official announcement il
made of new broad gage con-
nection with Durango country,
which has been even worse
treated than the Western Slope.
II money is available to con
struct this, then it stands to
reason the mazuma has been To-
Gated to broad gauge the Gunni-
son division.
This has been talked about and
promised so often that one hesi-
tates to predict, nevertheless
something is afoot or all those
new ties wouldn't be laid. In fact
competent railroad men state
that so far as the roadbed il con-
cerned it is about ready now to
have the rails moved over from
Crested Butte through Gunnison
to Salida. West OF this city. it
will of course be necessary 10 Law
heavier steel before the heavy
broad gauge trains could be run
with safety.

be, fitsaring the same rate per head,
$24,fA1 roo. 1t is very plausible
to suppose then that the returns

cash value of $15,0O0,000 for the

5000 Acres Thrown
- Open To Settlers

Three thousand acres Of govern
ment land, withdrawn from entry
when the Williston and Buford-
Thenton irrigation projects were be-
ing constructed, will again become
available FOR settlement June 20,
according to advices which have
reached the officials of the Willis
ton land office from the general
land Office at Washington.
Nearly four thousand acres of
land in Williams county is includ-
ed in the order of restoration but
some Of the land thus restored is
covered by homestead entries made
prior to it's withdrawal and will
therefore not be available for new
settlers. Approximately 5000
acres, however, is open to settle
ment and may be filed upon.
In the communication to the Will
liston land office the officials of the
general land Office emphasize the
statement that squatters rights on
this land will not be recognized
and that in fact squatfers will be
treated as trespassers and will not
be in as good position to secure fill
ings as newcomers.
The land thus thrown: open to
settlers is practically ali bottom
land along the course of the Mis-
souri, river and can be homesteaded
in only 160 acre tracts. 1t was
withdrawn with the belief that it
might at some time be included un-
der the North Dakota irrigation
project.
Settlement tf the land thus open
ed may not be made previous to
9 O'Clock on June 20, and the inr
structions of the Washington land
Office are to the effect that persons
found upon the land before that
time. except such persons as go
upon it to inspect it with view to
later settlement, may be treated as
trespassers and will gain no rights.
While settlement can be made
June 20, the fling on the land will
be made at the local land Office
July 20, but the officials will accept
applications for filings 20 days
prior to July 20 and all thus re-
ceived will be treated as having
been filed simultaneously at 8
o'clock July 29
In case of several filings for the
same quarter of land the dispute
will be adjudicated by the local
land Office. officials. In case only
one applicant for filing makes
settlement after 8 o'clock, June 20
and previous to filing his, applica-
tion the filing will ge awarded to
him. .,Ss.a IL :. In case two Or more, ap-
piicants make. settlement, the land
Will go to the first settler provided
that can be proven, or where sew
eral make settlement at the same
time the land will be awarded b..
a drawing held under the direction
of the land Office officials.
Intending settlers are also warn
ed to ascertain the status of the
surveyed land and get all inform
alton available as to the ,unsurvey-
ed lands by inquiry at the local
land Office before making settle
ment thereon. These lands con,
tain no power possibilities.
