CAPTAIN SILVA OF PORTLAND
TELLS OF METHODS OF
ACQUIRING PROPERTY!
Capt. C. V. M. Silva, the Portland
capitalist, who has just returned to
the metropolis, said, that after the
close of the war of the rebellion, he
found himself in Utah, and at a time
when Brigham Young was in the
enith of his power, in the Mormon
church and out of it; and being in a
condition that made him, Captain
Silva, receptive of most any sort of
work, he was pleased when President
Grant recognized him and made him
registrar of the federal land office
for that district, with headquarters at
Salt Lake.
One of the first problems that pre
sented itself was offered by the great
Mormon apostle himself, who, one
day walked into the land office,, at the
ead of a gang of 40 filthy Indians,
and presented a list of sections on
which the readskins desired to make
formal entry.
Captain Silva, with the instincts of
n honest man and officer, promptly
turned Brigham Young and his 40
stool-pigeons down and absolutely
refused every single entry, though
Young argued long and well in favor
of their American status, claiming
they had all renounced their tribal
relations and were amenable to the
privilege sought; but the captain held
out and barred the whole outfit.
He made an elaborate report, to
Washington, stating frankly all facts
and reasons, suspicions and possi
bilities of fraud, and in due course of
time received an explicit, terse and
mandatory letter from the Depart
metn directing him to enter the last
one of the O proteges Young had in
troduced, all of which he did, and
then stayed in the office long enough
to see the last fraction of the land,
fter it had been duly patented to the
redskins, pass swiftly to the "power
behind the throne" in Mormondom.
The capital was never blamed; nor
were any reasons given him for turn
ing down his report; it was simply a
case of the sheer influence of Brig
ham Young, ' whose saintliness did
not stand in the way of his swindling
the government and people out of
normous land values.
