ETorts will b made at the next session
of congress to make some important
changes to the Klnkald homestead law.
General Charles F. Mandersoa Is at present
preparing propoeed modifications, which
will be presented to lawmukers at Wash
ington, urging the need of amendments to
the law In its present form. The com
munication will embody suggestions of
Senator pietrich and the author of the
bill, who appreciate the need of action
which will modify the law so that It will
be more practical. t
The Klnkaid law made the amount of
land which can be taken up for settlement
HO acres Instead of 160 acres. In order to
enaMe each settler to acquire sufficient land
to support a family. The position is taken,
however, by those Interested In the bill
th. a the measure does not go far enough.
It Is asserted that most of the land af
fected by the Klnkaid law la suitable only
for grailng purposes and that Increased
acreage does not improve the situation of
the nan vho settles upon the sand hills
for the purpoee of cultivating It for agri
cultural purposes.
The plan Is to have the land drawn from
entry and redlatrlcted Into arable. Irriga
tion and grazing sections, and that the
lands which have not been ' taken up be
then offered for sals by the secretary of
the Interior at not less than 1) rents per
acre and not to exceed X cents. I is
proposed to make the foregoing change in
the form of an amendment. Other plans
are also suggested, but they are modifica
tions of th plans described.
Senator putxlua'a plan U t permit tat
homeseeker to commute the land, If he so
desires, after a certain perold.
The proposed modifications also provide
for the sale of grailng lands now held by
the government, but fenced In by the so
called cattle barons. In years past the
cattlemen have bought from the railroads
alternating sections, and In fencing In their
property they fenced In the government
lands with It. .They were forced to do
this or fence In separately each section ac
quired by them through purchase from the
railroads.
The lands, even when used for grazing
purposes. It Is pointed out, can be success
fully and profitably managed only by those
able to own Immense herds of cattle. The
proposed amendments, it is believed, will
make It possible for these lands to be
bought by those abl to go Into the cattle
business upon a large scale and will give
the homeBeeker an opportunity to add to
his acreage as fast as he la able to do so.
The modifications are not yet In form for
pubUcatlon. but they are being carefully
worked out by those Interested in the
measure and will be In suitable shape to
be presented to congress at Its next session.

FIGHT OVER LAND TITLES
City Attorney at Appraisers' Mestisg
Questions Company's Eights,
EXHIBITS ADMITTED ON THEIR MERITS
Appraisers to Resume Sessions and
Think It Possible to Conclude
Their Work by Last
of Nest Week.
Bharp differences between the city and
the Omaha Water ccmpuny over tho tltlo
to real estate developed yesterday at the
resumption of the water works appraise
ment proceedings at the city hall before
the Board of Appraisers, consisting of En
gineers Mead, Alvotd and Briizenbe g.
City Attorney Wright challenged the
undisputed ownership of the company to
much property In Florence and Omaha and
announced the city would contest the titles.
Attorney Hall, for the company, rotor 1
that the corporation was not being tiled
as to its titles and that the city would have
an opportunity to bring this matter up
and test it when the appraisement had
been complete ana when it "tenders the
money for the plant.J'
It was admitted by F. A. Marshall, en
gineer and witness fur the water com
pany, that a large amount of the lnnd In
cluded In the maps la now In the river at
Florence, that some of the Burt street
basins are on land not even claimed by the
company and that some of the real eWat
included, embracing twenty-five ucr.s near
Krug park, Is not used for water work
purposes at all.
After the morning t-estdon Chiirman
Mead was arked how long the ;:ilr I e a
would continue receiving evidence 1 ofore
leaving the city, and replied he did not
know. Knglneer Benzinberg, hoatiVtr,
bid be thought the sittli.g would end tin
latter part of next week.
Hoard Admits Kiblblis. j
Engineer Marshall having admitted that
much of th (and shown on lb maps is
sow In the river, City Attorney Wright
objected to the proof submitted as to the
ownership of the lands. He demanded a
ruling from the board. Attorney Hall in
serted emphatically that the appraisers
could ndt refuse to receive any maps sub
mitted and if they did they might as well
refuse to proceed.
Chairman Mead announced that the ex
hibits would be received for what they
were worth, subject to future attacks and
flUTinnrt fr Wrlirht Mid! "
"We contend that the situation of the
title with regard to much of the property
Is such as to very materially depreciate the
value of tho plant."
"The titles to our property are all right,"
declared Attorney Hall. "No suits are
now pending that are detrimental to or af
fect our rights."
"The evidence of the United States cir
cuit court will be the best evidence as to
that," retorted the city attorney.
Bart Street Basins,
Mr. Marshall admitted under cross
examination that some of the settling
basins at Burt street are on land to
which the company makes no clatm. The
city denied perfect title to a large part
of this tract. The showing of the l'op
plcton avenue real estate was accepted,
but that of the Walnut Hill station was
questioned relative to Lafayette avenue,
which may have been closed for tr. reser
voir. Schedules were Introduced purporting to
show heavy alterations and changes neces
sary In the mains running under the
Twenty-fourth street viaduct and the
newly bought Great Western property,
where, 11 was asserted, the pipes had to
be lowered. Ci'y Attorney Wright Insisted
that the railroad companies had paid the
cost of the extra work, but Wittiest
Marshall said hs did not know.
It Is understood that the water company
will put Major Chittenden, government
engineer in charge of the Missouri river,
on the stand to try to disprove testimony
In favor of the city which 8. Walter Fox,
who formerly occupied the same position.
Is to five.

to the Wattles Oonceri.
WORK ON FOUNDATION STARTS NOW
Plan of the Promoters Is to Hare
v Building l'p and la Opera
tion by Next
April.
The Independent Elevator company yes
terday received and paid for its property
on the Grain Terminals site. The price was
115,000. It will be necessary to slightly
lower the grude before work is be
gun, but that is a matter of slight Im
portance, and It la expected the foundations
will be In before frost prevents. The upper
work can be continued through the winter
without trouble and President Wattles ex
pects to have tho elevator In operation, with
the coming of April.
J. C. Record, the expert elevator builder
of St. Paul, Is In the city making measure
ments and studying the ground with a view
of making estimates on the foundation and
on the entire contract. Tho foundation
work will be done by Omaha labor under
supervision of the contractor. Bids have
been asked for and will be received within '
a few days on the foundations and also on
the entire work. After the bids have been
received the contract will be let and the
work rushed with all possible speed con
slsteut with the Importance and character
of the work.
There were other people besides Mr. Rec
ord at the Grain Terminals. It was impos
sible to locate the purposes, but several
out-of-town visitors were looking over the
trackage facilities and making Inquiries as
to cost of sites.
