12 ON UNCLE SAM'S LAND TBI MOUNT WILSON RAILWAY MEETS AN OBSTACLE FINOS ITSELF A TRESPASSER It Dow Hot Own Its Bight of Way. Ito Only Chancat Is an Appeal to Congress—Land Decision , The Mt. Wilson Railway Company Is put in a decidedly awkward position by a deci sion just received at the Land Office here, and should the United States government so desire, It could order the famous moun tain road removed immediately and bring suit for damages, the decision holding that the railway is partly located on the gov ernment timber reservation known as the San Gabriel Timber Reserve, and this lo cation amounts to an alleged trespass, as does the continued occupation of the right of way.. The severity of this decision Is somewhat ameliorated by the declaration of the Com missioner of the General Land Office that owing to the benefit the maintenance of the road confers on this section the government will suspend action in the matter of the alleged trespass until the matter can be presented to Congress by interested parties for legalizing the alleged trespass If Con gress sees fit. The decision Is the result of applications made by two different parties for a right of way from Alpine Tavern to the top of the .ridge. One of these applications is from T. si C. Lowe, the other from J. S. Torrance as receiver of the railway com pany. The latter also filed a protest against the Lowe application. The decision holds that the two applica tions are for practically Identical rights of way. "The lines lie almost entirely within the San Gabriel timber land reserve, and with the exception of a small part outside of the reserve the lines He upon unsurveyed lands. "A number of other papers have been re ceived In connection with this case, among them being reports by special agents of this office concerning the alleged unlawful tak ing of timber and occupation of public lands." The decision cites the fact that while the construction work on the road is said to have begun In 1892, the road was not open for travel until July. 1893. and construction was not completed until August, 189f>. The company did not file proofs of organization and articles of Incorporation until May, 1894. "The San Gabriel Timber Reserve was made by act of Congress In December, 1892. Hence the office Is without authority to con sider an application for a right of way with in the reserve, and therefore the various ap plications submitted are rejected' so- tar as they He within the limits of the reserve, sub ject to the usual right of appeal within sixty days." The decision comments on the application of Receiver Torrance for a right of way, and holds that his application cannot be considered until proper evidence has been filed with the department as to his judicial authority to take such action. The decision continues: "The road In question has been constructed within the reserve, and attention has been called to the fact that the construction of the rtiad and the occupation of the right of way within the reserve are unlawful. It ap pears that without making any effort to comply with the law by the filing of Its articles of Incorporation and proofs of, or ganization, the company, a few months be fore the establishment of the reserve, be gan the construction of its road, and after the reservation of the lands continued the construction therein. "The construction of the road after the establishment of the reserve was undoubt edly without authority of law, so also Is the continued occupation of the land used for the purposes of the railroad. "Considering, however, the benefit de rived by the public from the operation of the road, this office will suspend action In the matter of the alleged trespass, so far as the construction of the road and the occupation of the right of way are con cerned, until there shall have been oppor tunity for the matter to be presented to Congress by the parties Interested, In or der that the said acts may be legalized, if deemed proper by the legislative branch of the government. "The question of timber trespass, con struction of wagon roads and trails and In terference with the free access of the pub lic to the timber reserve will be considered In another communication." The decision holds that In the application of T. S. C. Lowe, so far as it applies for a right of way over unsurveyed government ground, It will be considered on filing proofs of the company's Incorporation and organ ization. "The protest filed by J. S. Torrance, re ceiver, Is dismissed." so far as l it affects the right of the Mt. Lowe Railway Company to make application for a right of way. LOS ANGELES COUNTY EXHIBIT What Visitors Say as They Pass—lm promptu Reception The Los Angeles county exhibit at the Transmlssissippl exposition at Omaha, ac cording to latest advices, is carrying oft most of the honors of the show.

This mission effect is captivating. Who was the artist ef this exhibit? This exhibit saves the state. How could It be made so beautiful? Oh! Oh! My, what beauty! Would you like to live where such fruits grow? The Los An geles exhibit is the most artistic exhibit at the Transmlssissippl exposition. The exhibit |s harmony Itself. I know some thing of the Installation of products, but this surpasses me. I never saw such orig inality. The exposition is beautiful, but ther Loa Angeles exhibit Is the most beauti ful part of It. I shall feel repaid for my trip if I see nothing of the exposition but the Los Angeles county exhibit."

HOW THE VOTE STOOD Los Angeles First Choice for the N. E. A. Next Tear City Superintendent Foshay writes the chamber of commerce concerning the choice of Los Angeles as the place of meet ing for the annual convention of the Na tional Educational association in 1899, as fellows: "We have Just emerged from the fray and are victorious. Only one vote was taken and In that vote first choice gave Los An geles 20, Salt Lake 12, Portland 8, Tacoma 3. This, as you see, made It unnecessary for any further action to be taken by the di rectory, giving it to Los Angeles without a question. We have done our part and cer tainly have gained a great victory. "Much credit Is due to the helpers I had with me, to the chamber of commerce an.l other organlzotlons.thelr contributions and Invitations. Hurrah for our side!"
