Probable Grounds For Wresting Fairmount Park From the City. COMPETITIVE ENGINE TESTS. How an Office Janitor Became a Wealthy Lumberman—The Darky Baby Still a Theme of Gossip— District Court—News, ‘Why They Claim the Park. There are numerous reportsas to what will be the grounds on which the con- test will be made over the city's title to the beautiful Fairmount park. One of the grounds is said to be that under the old special charter of the city the city had no authority to condemn property for park purposes. The city had the right to condemn for strects, alleys and for city buldings, but it not being ex- pressly stated concerning parks. it is claimed that the city had no right to condemn for' that purpose. It is also claimed that under the general law covering condemnations the eity also lacked the needed authority. Another of the grounds on which it is supposed that the contestants will stand is that the plat by which the con- demnation was made, 1ot by lot, was de- fective and indefinite. mination is said to have revealed the fact that the plat was supposed to cover eighty acres, but the summing up of the measurements of the lots falls short of eighty ae! It 15 urged thatif the plat stated that it contained eighty acres, the sur- Jlus would be apportioned among the ots, but the plat states that these lots are in the eighty acres, not giving definite information as to the exact lo- cation. It is understood that the contestants are to lay elaim to the park. both by veason of having acquired title to the eighty acre tract, and also by reason of xh : plat by w hich it was madi second addition be ing defe definite The manner of condemnation is said to be another point on which the city’s title to the park will be attacked. he mode of puyment for the park is also expected to be brought into the con- test. Besides acquiring quit claim deeds to the eighty ac an effort has been made to secure as many quit claims as from lot owners. Wright, Baldwin & Haldene, who are the attorneys moving in the matter, are reticent, treating the matter as own private business and cour- teously but firmly declining to help the reporters in their search for news con- crning the matter.

In conversation with a BEE reporter last evening one of the heaviest stock- holders in the Pacific hotel property stated that a proposition would be made to the beard of trade at their next meet- ing, that if the board would purchase and turn over to them the Sapp corner, they, the syndicate would erect a four- story business block extending back to the alley ou the site, and also covering the ground wheve the *blue front” now stands, Or, if the board of trade would give them $20,000, they would erect @ combined Dbusiness block and . hotel, the latter - to five storics,@fand the other four. He thought the corner could be bought for about $8.000, and if the board of trade took hold of the matter, as it was hoped they would, a building costing between $75.000 and $100,000 would be erected there. He expressed the belief that it would be better forthe city if the building was simply o business block, and that the place for a mammoth hotel would be about two blocks farther down Broadway. at the corner of Sev- enth street, as that would be a central location and would greatly increase the value of property all around that vicinity, but if * the hotel should be built at the present location it would entirely preventthe rebuilding of lower Brondway with fine business houses, The matter has now reached a head, and something will shortly be done one way or the other that will definitely settle the question. nillfsn On the market for over twenty years.

During the past few days several tests have been made at the electric light station for the purpose of determining the comparative amounts of coal used in running each engine that furnishes the power. There ure two of them, one a Westinghouse and the other an Ide. When the Westinghouse engine was put in, that company guaranteed that it should require less than six pounds of coal per hour for each horsepower, and the builders of the Ide guaranteed that it should beat the Westinghouse. The tests recently made are not final, and have been rather imperfect. The best result obtained by the Westinghouse was 6.83 pounds of coal per hour per are light, and the Ide used 7.27 pounds to obtain the same result. Electric light requires from three-fourths to one and onc-half horsepower to maintainasteady light. Two years ago, when the old Westinghouse engine was tested with an indicator, the result showed that nearly one and one-fourth horsepow v. quired to each light on the old reuit. At that rate the Westinghouse engine is fully up to the guaranty. The 2 man yesterday interviewed Mr. Officer on ‘the subject, and he stated that Mr. Ide would probably be here this week to ovorsee the final test, Said he: “What has been done thus far is not official, and 1 noticed that one of the papers misrepresented it. The boiler connected with the Ide engine is an old one, and the Westinghouse com- pany was not willing to use it in these test as the pipes are but thiee inches in diameter, and they claim that they should not be less than three and one- half, or four. The boiler connected with their engine is the new one, and for that reason T think the test unfair. The Ide engine is doing its work splen- didly and there is no reason for com- plaint outside of the amount of conl burned. It may be that it would fail to beat the Westinghouse if connected with the other boiler, which has a very large grate, and is better adapted to the seventy-five horse-power Westinghouse than to the sixty-five horse-power Ide. T think that with a proper boiler the Ide would actually do better than the Waestinghouse, but the test with indieators will prove that. As they now run 1 figure the cost of coal for each at about $60 per year. I tind that Iowa coal is much in- ferior to the eastern product for making steam, as four pounds of Pennsylvania coal will do_ the work of six pounds of the Towa, In a boiler with small pipes, the tubes become partially 1illm} with soot, and much of the heat is blown through them without being utilized. ‘With suitable boilers I don’t think cither company will have any trouble in making good their guarantees.” The result of the coming test will be of considerable importance to the build ers of these engines, for it will be a fair and impartial trial of their meri Each one will be loaded with fifty lights and the armatures of the dynamos run at a speed of revolutions per minute. A mechanic from the Ide factory has just finished putting that machine in perfect order. It is now running the tower lights, being purchased for that particular purpose.

The discovery of coal, announced in yesterday's BEE, caused no little stir and there were numerous demands for samples for testing purposes. All who examined the specimens found that it would really burn, and some of it burned very briskl W. S. Williams admitted that he was the one who had dug the mysterious hole on the Spet- man place which had attracted the at- tention and led to the public disclosure. He had been prospecting about here for some time and this was only one of many such places where he had exam- ined the soil. He thought he had Jeft it so that there would be no atten- tion called to it, as he was not ready to disclose the results of his investigation. He shows numerous specimens of such conl, some ve fine, which he has guthered in virious places in this vi- cinity. He is confident that there is coal, good coal, to be had very near to Council Bluffs, but the question is whether it is in sufficient quantities to pay. He deems the chances in favor of there being paying quantities, but says this can be du.cmmm-il only by devel- opment. The finds will doubtless be followed up, and the future disclosures will be watched for with interest. o I One thousand head of one, two and three-year-old steers for sale.

Not All Luck. Among the guests stopping at the Bechtele is Mr. Jacob Mortenson, of ‘Wausau, Wis., formerly of this city. At the time of his residence here Mr. Mor- tenson was employed as janitor at the bank of Officer & Pusey, but he is now one of the wealthy lumbermen of the northwest. He owns large lumber tracts in the Badger state, and runs sev- eral sawmills and logging camps. He is also a large stockholder in the mines of that region, and is reputed to be worth aquarter of a million. His success has been phenomenal, and was one of the re- sults of the development of the natural resources of the great west. Acquaint- ances talk of his *‘remarkable luck in striking it so rich and ignoring the fact that there are hundreds more of just such opportunities, content them- selves with wishing they had been struck with such a “streak of luck.” Mr. Mortenson is well known to many of the citizens of the Bluffs, and visits here for ashort time quite frequently, He is one of the interested partiesin the star ing of a new lumber yard on Tenth ave- nue. the land for which was recently purchased by Mr. Lew Hammer. vear Harkness ———— Blankets. dress goods and under- at o large discount to-day at Bros.
