HARRIMAN MAY GIVE AWAY LAND Taxes Are a Burden and Settlers Are Effort Will Be Made to Pop- ulate the Semi-Arid West. ———— Special Dispatch to The Call Wanted. | ADVERTISEMENTS. San Francisco, /fi"’/ i OMAHA, Oct. 17.—8atisfled that the plan which has been in operation a year to ! place the vast area of semi-arid lands | along the Union Pacific Rallroad in the West in the hands of home-builders is a | fallure and that it is no longer financlally | expedient to pay the Government large | sums annually in taxes, the executives of the railroad have decided to adopt rad-| ically different means to promote coloni- | zation and secure relief from taxation. It will be the opening for free settle- ment of a part of the lands in Western Nebraska and Kansas, Eastern Colorado and all of Wyoming. Possibly nominal | sums will be asked of the settlers, but the | plan is practically the same as that adopted by James J. Hill in the North- west two years ago, with gratifying suc- cess. | It was believed by the officials in charge | of the land department of the Harriman | road a year ago that the establishment of a central office at Chicago, with branches | in the other cities of importance along the line, for the sale of lands at small prices would result in immigration out- | stripping similar previous movements. What the expedient actually accomplished | was considerably increased receipts at the cates purchased the land for speculative purposes, and there were fewer immi- grants than in a single year for a decade. The average price of land disposed of | during the past year the statistics show to be greater than during the previous | years. The acreage disposed of was less | and the country was not populated as | thickly and quickly as was expected by the originators of the plan. GREAT RUSH MAY OCCUR. At the next meeting of the directors of | the Harriman roads the project will be | submitted and recommended by omdah at Omaha, whose advice is always heeded | in the railroad councils. By that time it | |1s expected that Congress will have passed the bill throwing open for settlement the lands in the Rosebud Indian reservation, | in Gregory County, South Dakota, of | which there are homes for 2600 settlers. | | The Northwestern road last year com pleted a projection, into this domain and | is making an aggressive effort to promote | | its development, so that if the Union Pa- | cific opens a considerable part of its west- o, : 1 Saleof SHEETINGS, BLANKETS and GUMFUHTERS FHAT GREAT 50c SILK SALE. & enched Sheet- $1.50 Comforlerfi Tor 1 The success we achieved last week is an incentive to do even better this ke i o e 23 S each | Jveek, for to-morrow we have prepared again some amazing Silk bargains. & .

SANTA ROSA, Oct. 17.—An accident oc- curred yesterday afternoon on the North Shore Railroad between Cazadero and Duncans Mills which resulted in the death of Willlam Irwin. He was foreman of the piledriver crew and had been sta- tioned at Duncans Mills for over a year. In the afternoon he was coming from up the road on a logging train of empty cars. The train was running at a4 good speed and the momentum caused the cars to swerve violently, When the train struck the sharp curve running on to trestle No. 116 Irwin was hurled from the car on which he was riding. JURY UPHOLDS LLOYD'S WILL Refuses to Set It Aside on Plea of His Son Frederick. WA\ @ < &0 i Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Oct. 17. Nine jurors this evening by their ver- dict upheld the will made by the late C. R. Lloyd. By answers to questions sub- mitted to thefn to sign they said that he was of sound mind when he made the will and that the charges against his morality were unfoundeu. Three of the jurors dissented from ‘this verdict and so stated when they were polled, but as it only requires nine of the twelve in civil cases the verdict was sufficient for the purpose. The names of the jurors who sat in the case are W. D. Thomas, E. C. Bridge- SN ADVERTISEMENTS. (.

Ths gem is cut by diamond workers with exact number of facets as the menuine, and its excessive hardness causes it to receive that high polish which throws the same prismatic fire as the real, thus producing a luster and the ones who sald they were not satis- fled with the verdict brought in by the others, There were seven questions given them to sign. The first was as to the sanity of Lloyd at the time of the making of the will, This was answered in the af- firmative. Six questions followed, simi- lar in wording, with the exception that the names of Margaret Boxall, Nesta Boxall, Mrs. Little, formerly a Boxall girl; Ethel Lioyd, Miss Wilkinson, Lioyd's housekeeper, and Miss Tillie Buttner, a stenographer, were inserted in the difter- ent questions and were questioned in re- THE J.

Harriman is sald to have - concluded | with. Hill that selling off land obtained | | under Government grants at prices now | prevalling is an unprofitable way to settle The se- cret of profit-getting for the railroads in | years to conte is colonization. What the | railroads want is not to be rid of the land | alone, but settlers, cattlemen and the syndicates stdnd ready to take the land tives know that land bought in this way will remain cattle ranges and unoccupled investments for years to come. The motives of the railroads stand re- vealed when the statement is/'made that the Union Pacific carries twice the ton-| nage from West to East as it does from East to West. What the raflroads want is freight from the East. Settlers alone will solve the problem how to get it. The great arld stretches of land which are bound to be developed by irrigation can be transformed into populous cities and prosperous agricuitural - centers which | will furnish the demand for commodities manufactured in the East. The Union | Pacific reads in the reports of increased | traffic westward on the Hill lines a les- | son it was not slow to learn. 4,500,000 ACRES FOR SALE. The Union Pacific's total land grant originally amounted to 18,547,844.24 acres. The selling of land commenced in 1868 and to-day there is still for sale 4,500,000 acres. | Under the plan of a year ago the sales of | land up to the first of the present month were actually less than for the entire | year preceding, amounting to only 72,928 | acres. This Interesting information re- garding the sale of Unlon Pacific lands | would not be forthcoming were it not | for the abandonment of the old plan. It is on the authority of Birdsall A. Mec- Allister, land commissioner of the Union Pacific Railroad at Omaha. In extenua- tion of the faflure of the plan to secure colonization it is pointed out that this | small acreage netted to the road $225,869. Last year 83,700 acres brought $116,000. The experience of Hill in the North- west was that even $3 an acre for land— | and this was a high figure—would not | yield the financial returns in the future | that would an assured settler at a few | cents an acre. The officials believe that free land will result in unprecedented im- migration. It will be difficult, they think, to devise means of securing actual settle- ment ‘by provisos in the transfer papers. Behind the idea of peopling the West with prospective passengers and shippers | there is another motive influencing the Union Pacific Railroad in the opening of its lands to free settlement. By an act of Congress approved July 10, 1886, all the granted lands, excepting those unsur- veyed and those situated in unorganized counties, were made taxable and under this act the company has since paid a total of 33,132,167 35 taxes. Men directing | the finances of the road have reached the | conclusion that the burden is one to be thrown aside at the earliest possible mo- ment. The railroad officials assert that the best land they hold in the category men- | tioned will be disposed of as quickly as | the least valuable. Irrigation has reached | the highest point of utility in Utah and California. In Wyoming, Western Ne- braska and Kansas and in Eastern Colo- | rado competent and conservative land | men say there is much land that with | sclentific Irrigation will be worth as much as that in States where irrigation is older. —————— REFUSES TO ABANDON VOYAGE IN SAILING BOAT Captain Brown of the Columbia II | Perseveres in His Perilous .

They then turned the sig- nal light so as to stop the next train. The North Coast limited, the crack flier of the Northern Pacific, was due in half an hour. The operator, F. K.

The train went through the latter place at forty miles an hour and the bandits then rode off. A posse took the trail at daylight. R —— International Banking Corporation.
