19 THE OMAHA BATIjT BEE : FRIDAY , AUGUST 4. 189J ) . LACKS FOUNDATION OF FACT BUttmint that Union Pacific is Preparing teL L y Double Tracks Denied , AN ADMISSION OF FUTURE POSSIBILITY OrlRlnntlnn of < lic Slorr Hnnlillp Cnmc from the Uxlrnnl c Improve ment * Which tlmt llonil l .MakliiK I" H Ilonillicit. % A report generally circulated throughout the country that ban created more than or dinary Interest in the railway world , to the effect that the Union Pacific Is making preparations to double-track Its entire s > stern - tern , U authoritatively denied at headquar ters In this city aa having any foundation of truth. The rumor has been on the tougties of railway men for several weeks and ono who had RSiuraeil to take especial pains to In vestigate the matter related the result of his observations on follows : "There can be no doubt but that the Union Pacific will surely double-track Its entire line and ex pend between $10,000.000 nnd $15,000,000 In this nnd attendant Improvements. The grading and preliminary work alone , exclu sive of rails , tics and other material , will coet about $5,700,000. llrldgcfl on the road will bo enlarged and made permanent. The work will bo done In ectlons nnd will bo pushed aa rapidly ar possible , BO that the completion will bo brought about within two years. " The foundation for this belief undoubtedly can bo traced to the fact that the Union Pacific is at the present tlmo engaged In making extensive Improvements along ita line and IB expending a great deal of money In taking out some of the Itluks In the route , building bridges and otherwise bet tering the condition of Ita roadbed gener ally. The first report that the Union Pa- clfio was preparing to double-track He whole RVBtom came from Cheycnno and the state ment was made that work bad already boon Inaugurated between that cUy nnd Sher man with this idea In view. The Impres sion gained by the originator of the report was erroneous and waa In all probability duo to the work which the company Is now- doing between those two points In Improv ing Uio roadbed nnd straightening the track. An official If the Union Taclflc , In denying the truth of any reports regarding the double-tracking , Intimated that such an Improvement might ho under advisement by the directors of the road and still bo un known to the local officials , and from this It U Inferred that there Is a bare possibility that an Improvement of this nature may aome time bo made , but It Is unlikely , un- Ipgs the volume of business Increases to an extent much larger than at the present ! n order to warrant the expenditure of the largo amount which would be necessary to double-track the system. JULY WAS A JIKCOIII ) IIIII3AICI3R. More Land Solil Inut Month Tlmn In Mniiy a AVholr Year. "There's a great object lesson In prosperity , " said an official of the Union Pacific road , as ho pointed to an array of figures representing the land sales made by the land department of that road during the month of Juty. It showed that from the main office S9.26C acres of land In Wyoming , Colorado , Utah and Nebraska had been dis posed of to lifty-two persons , and the sub- ofilccs reported the sale of 1C.S4C acres , most of which was located In Kansas , with ono or two strips in Colorado , to fifty-three persons. "This July report , " said Mr. Lynch of the Union Pacific land department , "is a record- breaker and represents the sale of more land than Is-.usually the volume of .business . in an ontlro year. The number of persons who bavo purchased the land Is another encourag ing feature , as It shows that the people throughout this western country nro enjoying a real period of prosperity , and are investing their savings in lands , determined to make homes for themselves and to bank against the future. A number of the parcels of land [ disposed of represented ranches , others were bought for farming purposes , and the largest acreage contained In any one sale did not exceed 8,000 acres.

The system of Interchangeable mileage In operation on a majority of the railroad sys tems In the United States , particularly those east of the Missouri and on the lines rep resented by membership in the Western Paasongor association , has proven to be most satisfactory.

Ho also testified that 'tho young man gave the nome of Sldell , or something Iko that. Peterson denied having given a fictitious name and stated that the locket had been ; lvcn to him by his father , who told him to ako It down and sell It. The locket was ator claimed by Mandelburg , the Jeweler , as bis property and It was found out that 'oung Peterson's father had stolen It from ilandelburg with a lot of other jewelry.

Attorney General Smyth has filed tran scripts of the Judgment recently secured by ho state against the Bartley bondsmen in all the counties in which ho can learn that any of the bondsmen have property. The executions recently Issued In this county are still In the hands of Sheriff McDonald and so far no action has been taken. Mr. Smyth says that he has very Ilttlo hope of recov ering anything on the executions , aa ho be- loves that very little of the property previ ously held toy the bondsmen has been left uncovered. Ho says that he Is now waiting for the return of the executions by the sheriffs In the various counties and then he will bring creditor's suits to have the * trans fers of property set aside. It Is stated in the sheriff's office that the executions are etlll on hand and that they will bo served as soon as the attorney general - oral can point out any property that Is eub- oct to execution. llleli Yet Stnrvliijr.

NO REPORT UNTIL OCTOBER ItccclptN of District Conrt Clerk'n Of- llcc DnrltiK rirnt .11 ( in 111 nt the \CMV & > Nteii Are Very The law which makes the clerk of the dis trict court a salaried officer and provides for the payment of all surplus fees to the county treasurer has now been In operation ono mbnth , but It will bo two months longer bcforo a report will be submitted from which the county commissioners can ascertain Just what revenue the office will bring In. Even then the figures will not afford a fair basis for n conclusion , ns July and August nro vacation months and very few papers nro filed. During July the only receipts of the office have been a few fees paid In advance on petitions In new cases and It Is asserted that the total receipts of the office , during the month will not aggregate more than $300 or $400. The reports of receipts will bo made quaricrly as In the case of other county offices nnd the first report from the clerk under the new system will consequently bo filed October 1. It will then be lurncd over to the auditing department to bo checked up , as Is done with all quarterly receipts of county officers. The rule recently promul gated by the Board of County Commissioners that all fees shall be paid In advance is being enforced nnd while some protests have been made because the usual accommodation was denied most of the attorneys have been satisfied with the new arrangement. iH a Trmlc Mark. An Interesllng decision was rendered last Friday by Judo Townsend In the United Slates circuit court In this district in the case of the American Waltham Watch com pany against Joseph H. Sandman. Complain ant Is the well-known manufaclurer of Wnl- Iham watches at Walthom , Mass. From the opinion it appears that complainant since 1S54 has sold nearly 8,000,000 watch movements , all of which , wllh few exccp- llons , have berne the name "Waltham. " That originally the name WnUhnin was used In a geographical sense , but that , by long-continued use , It has acquired a sec ondary meaning as a designation of com plainant's watches ; that In 1895 ono E. A. Locke , for whom the defendant was the solo selling agent , began the manufacture of watches at Wnltham under the name of Columbia Watch company ; that said Locke , who was not a resident of Wnltham , staled Ibat ho should locale his business Ihere because the word " \Valtham" had como to be known all over the world through the watches made by the complainant , and "because the word 'Waltham' would sell a watch. " The opinion stales further that the watches made by Ihe said Locke and sold by Iho defendant , which were usually marked "Columbia Watch Company , Wal- Iham , Mass. , " were slamped wllh much higher numbers than the amount actually manufactured called for , BO as lo suggest , togclher with the name Waltham , the older and original manufacture of watches made liy the complainant. The complainant asked that the defendant bo enjoined from using the word "Waltham" upon watches sold by him without some accompanying state ment clearly distinguishing them from the watches manufactured by the complain ant. Judge Townsend , after quoting and approving the decision In the corresponding case of American Waltham Watch com pany against United States Watch company in the Massachusetts supreme court , grants complainant the injunction prayed for , bas ing his decision upon the ground that the conduct of the defendant and of his prlncl- par was a violation of the law against un fair trade and was Intended to deceive and defraud the publjc and to deprive the com plainant of the trade and good will to which it was entitled.
