A N, train, No. 1, and the members were making the most of tholr outing. Four memners or the party had never en- Joyed a vacation away from the caol tal since they entered the service of the land office department of the gov ernment 25 years ago, and the mar velous western country Is a constant delight and surprise to them. They remained at the registration offices at the Uintah reservation for five days and saw over 12,000 people lined up awaiting a turn to register to secure a tract of the rich reservation. The drawing for this land will take place on September 1, and hundreds of people will camp at the reserva tion until after the drawing to ascer tain their fate In the distribution of the land thrown open. Suffering unspeakable was experi enced by hundreds of people who went to tne registration offices unpre pared. The hot sun, often 115 in the shade, burned and parched the un protected crowds lined up awaiting tholr turn. Women were found every where In the line and while a few of mom came prepared with food, wa ter and umbrellas, a great many more were forced to stand uncovered In tho hot sun for hours, while the long line ahead of them registered. Many were forced from sheer ex- nausuon to. drop out of the line, and others paid big prices to have food, water and other necessaries brought tu me une wnere they stood. The clerks express tho sentiment that such rushes are not only barbar ous, but that the government pro motes the gambling spirit by parceling out rich lands In this manner.

Five streams were put on this building, and after strenuous efforts of the fire de partment, the fire was under control t 7:30. The main floor of this build ing is occupied by business houses and the upper floors by offices. As soon s indications showed that the fire was advancing, everyone in the af fected district began moving and the scene was one of Bedlam. Those that did not move from the Adams block suffered almost total losses from water and smoke. An Incident of the fire was the ex plosion of a gas tank, which threw missiles through windows and also truck several bystanders, causing se rious Injury. The origin of the fire a mystery. Those who suffered most severely by losses were: J. P. Vollmer, frame building. F. A. Kettenbach, frame building. Crutcher & Loeb. cigar store and building.

The court does not pass upon the" constitutionality of the act on tbm ground that no notice or adeqott hearing Is provided for the owner f" the livestock before he Is preclaJafl " by the assessment, as the case Is dfe-'-posed of on the first question.
