THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, BOER COLONY IN WYONING “ome Details of the Plan te Transplast Afrioan Farmers DUTCH BANKERS WILLING TO FUND THEM Same Hollanders Who Invested Heavily Unfon Pacific Interests Are Sald to Be Ready for this Undertaking. CHEYENNE, Wyo., Oct. 31.—(Special.)— A gigantic colonization scheme for southern Wyoming has been undertaken and if plans eady formulated are carried out this state will add to its population during the next year over 5,000 people. Wealthy bankers and financiers of. Holland, men who a few years ago sncured a controlling Interest in the Unlon Pacific railroad, are back of the project and if plenty of capital will ald i carrying out the plans the colony is already assured. F. L. Grubb of the Union Pacific has charge of the arrangements and he will shortly visit the state to transact business connected with the segregation of a tract of land for the colony. This land is situ- ated In Sweetwater county, in the valley of Green river, and comprises over 300,000 acres. 1t is proposed to colonize this large tract of laod with Holland farmers and Boers trom South Africa. Transportation is to be furnished by the Union Pacific rallroad, which passes through the center of the land to be colonized, and the Holland baukers are to purchase the land and allot it to the settlers in blocks of eighty acres to the famil: A huge canal will be taken from Gre river, which carries more than enough water, and this will carry water to the colony. The farmers will raise wheat, oats, potatoes, etc., but the growing of suy beets will be encouraged by the promoters of the colony. A market and good prices will be guaranteed the settlers and a mon- ster sugar factory will be built in the colony to handle the beets raised. The promoters of the project have been selecting the prospective colonists in South Africa and in Holland and as soon as title to the land has been secured, surveys for the big canal and ditches made and right to the water obtained, a large number of Dutch will be brought to Wyoming and put to work constructing the canal and irriga- tion works. The Holland bankers, who will furnish the money necessary to reclalm this large tract and establish farms, are perfectly fa- millar with Wyoming, for their represent tives recently visited this section and in- vestigated the feasibility of the scheme. 1t s asserted that during the mext few yea! & will be a heavy influx of Boers and Holland Dutch to this section. Agents of the Boers have been in correspondence with the promoters of several colonies in Wyomning and it s expected that there will be several movements of Dutch farmers to the valleys of this state in the spring. The sections that will recelve the new settlers are Wheatland, the Big Horn basin and Ulnta and Sweetwater counties. BLOOD DYES WYOMING HAY es Gable Cut Bruised While Slecp- ing in a Stack.

SIOUX FALLS FIGHTS RATES Jobbers' Asseciation 8Btarts Two Injunction “Buits Bimultaneeusly, NORTHWESTERN AND OMAHA MUST DEFEND SIOUX FALLS, 8. D, Oct. 31.—(Special Telegram.)—C. O. Bailey, special attorney for the Sioux Falls Jobbers' sociation, between b and 6 o'clock this afternoon filed imultaneously in the United States and state circult courts suits asking that In- Junctions be {ssued restraining the Chicago, 8t. Paul, Mioneapolls & Omaha and the Chicago & Northwestern rallroads from withdrawing the terminal rates now en- Joined’ In accordance with an agreement entered into in 1890. Under this agreement the cities of Sloux Fal Aberdeen, Watertown and Sloux City were made terminal or distributing points and terminal or distributing rates were ablished for the carriage of merchan- dls The complaints in the two ci allege that the defendant raliroads are threatening to cancel these terminal or distributing rates and place in effect so- called distance tariff, which will apply only to South Dakota. It is alleged to be the purpose of the rallroads to retain the terminal rates at Sioux City. This, the complaints say, would result in great in- Jury being done to the jobbers of Stoux Falls. The new rates were to have gone into effect tomorrow. Judge Carland of the United States court has issued a temporary restraining order and fixed November 8 the time for the defendant railroads to ap- pear and show cause why the injunction should not become permanent. Judge Jones of the state circuit court also issued a re- straining order and fixed November 9 as the time for similar proceedings in hls court. History of the Trouble. When the railroad commissioners met ‘n Chicago with the traffic managers of the various lines it was generally talked that the terminal distributing tariffs which had for years been granted to the three towns named, and which put the jobbers of those towns on an equality with jobbing centers outside the state, should be taken out. It was agreed that the Milwaukee road should take the initiative and the other lines agreed to follow the Milwaukee's lead. The new schedules have now been re- celved. The Milwaukee, as agreed, took out the terminal tariff from Sioux Falls, but it also took that from Sloux City and placed both towns upon the South Dakota distance tarift basis. This s considered here to be fair to both. But the Northwestern and the Great Northesn roads took out the distance tariff from this point, but left it in Sloux City. It is estimated here that as a result Sioux City, although twice as far away as Sioux Falls, will be able to lay down freight in many towns in South Dakota for less money than Sioux Falls. The jobbers in this city as soon as the new tariffs were recelved held a meeting and declded to resist the new schedule in the courts, The action of the jobbers is based upon two propositions. First, the jobbers contend that the old rates were manifestly fair since the roads voluntarily put them into effect several years ago and main- tained them through hard times, and when the jobbing btusiness In South Dakota was small. Consequently, now that times are good and the jobbing business has grown to considerable proportions, there can be no reasonable excuse for raising them. Second, they contend that to withdraw the terminal rates from Sioux Falls while al- lowing them to remain for Sioux City is a gross discrimination contrary to law and 18 In effect charging more for a short haul than for a long one. In the meantime the Board of Rallroad Commissioners has refused to drop the ap- peal in the famous rate case, pending the outcome of the present controversy. PIERRE BOND CASE UP AGAIN Attorneys to Argue Demurrer to East- mus Compelling Tax Levy. SIOUX FALLS, 8. D, Oet. 31.—(Speclal.) ~~There will be a rehearing of the case instituted in the United States court in this city wherein eastern holders of bonds against the city of Plerre are striving to force the city to pay them. The bonds were issued during the capital fight. The holders not long ago secured judgment against the city and the present action was instituted for the purpose of securing writs of mandamus compelling the authori- ties of Plerre to levy a tax for the pay- ment of the bonds, which aggregate about $53,000. The city attorney, who represented Plerre at the former hearing, demurred to the application of the bondholders. The plaintiffs have now filed a special answer to the demurrer and the attorneys will agree upon a day for further arguments to be made.

The holdings of ofl property of this company In the Beaumont and other Texas flelds are extensive and of the highest class. Its Spindle Top Heights property is surrounded by gushing wells, produc ing from 50,000 to 70,000 barrels daily.
