Shops Close for
Indefinite Period.
In pursuance with an order received
from Omaha yesterday morning, the
local Union Pacific shops were closed
down laat evening for an indefinite
period. This action follows a series of
reductions both in the number of men
employed and the working hours. The
lay-off of men came first, then
working hours were reduced to
forty-five per week, then ' to
forty, nnd now comes tho temporary
closing of the shops, which effects Bixty
six men. At the new round house,
where in round numbers one hundred
men are employed, the time of each
omployo will bo shortened, each prob
ably working two days per week.
Under the forty-hour week helpers' at
the shops have been earning nine
dollars and eighty cents per week,
while the weekly wage of the best
class mechanics has been $10.80.
North Piatto is not the only shop
town effected, Omaha, Grand Island and
Cheyenne suffering a reduction in the
force of fully ten percent, effective last
ovening.
At the local shop office it was stated
that there is a scarcity of work, that is
thero is somo work on hand but its per
formance is not now needed. Six of the
newer class of freight engines that
have just been turned out of the shops
in fine condition are not in service be
cause they are not needed, and thero
are eight or tea passenger engines that
nro in serviceable condition that are
not neeled on tho runs. This indicates
tho condition of the motive power.
It is generally believed that the shops
will remain closed for this week only,
and that they will re-open next Monday
but'on the -10-hour week scretary.

One of .the residents of tho city
stated to' the council nt its last meet
ing that all tho business men of the

saloon 1m that end of town and it
has roused the iro of the business men
thero to a gront extent. In recent
interview with one of them, ho stntod
that they were nil in favor of a saloon,
but that tho largo majority of thorn,
wbb in fnyor of it staying out. Ho
says that so tar us increasing business
is concerned, they will refer any in
quirer to the south part of the city
any day in tho week and lot them
judgo what influence on business tho
saloon has. He stated that if one sa
loon would increase tho business that;
with six on this side of the tracks, tho
business men hero would surely get all
tho business; nnd that if this was the
case, ho would udviso that a few more
be established here.

Fraudulent Land Deals?
County Clerk Yost received two deeds
yesterday to be recorded for land in
the county that has been sold for taxes.
The land is located in the vicinity of
Dickons and is described ns section 21,
township 11, range 33. William H.
Smith holds the tax title to the. land.
The parties selling this land give
their names ns F. C. Brown of Okla
homa City und Cecil Johnson of Fondis,
Colo. The deeds nre given under the
name of the original purchaser, V. II.
Surghiner, an eastern speculator who
took up the land in 1885. He let the
taxes get behind and the land was sold
for taxes in 1901 to Mr. Smith. The
men now selling tho land have divided
it up into quarters and are selling it
that way.
Only a short time ago a man by name
of Alvin Artlet of Oklahoma City was
in the city consulting a local attorney
in regard to the land. He had traded
property in Oklahoma City for the land
and came up to look after it. He was
advised that the land could not be told
and immediately wired to Oklahoma to
call off the trade. Ho soon received
word that the property tfiere had been
sold to an innocent purchaser and that
it would require legal proceedings for
him to regain possession of the prop
erty. The deals are bnffling to the
authorities and if they do not cease,
there will probably be something doing.
