I had a conference also with Judge Kelly of the Union Pacific on this same matter of the Abbott and the deal was finally consummated and land was turned over to the Union Pacific and the papers delivered to Judge Kelly. The title to the property was made In the name of Erastus Young, the consideration being $13,200, which was paid by the treasurer of the Union Pacific Railroad company. I was nol obliged to pay Abbott any more for the land than he received from the railroad company, but a fair valuation of the land at. that time to the Union Pacific people was from $50,000 to $100,000. The acquiring of this Abbott land was suggested to Saunders aa a friendly act." " Origin of the Case. The Sioux City Ac Rock Springs Coal com pany had as stated by Mr, Saunders a suit against .the Union . Pacifio Railroad company for $00,000 damages for failure to furnish It railway facilities for getting its coat to market. . .. The formal demand of the complainant company was read In evidence and calls for not only trackage facilities, but for. a depot and telegraph service. This demand wss made October 6, 1906. The reply of Julius Krtitschnltt, director of maintenance of the Union Pacific Railroad company, also was read In which he gave reasons why the petition of the complainants could not be granted, this reply beating date, of October 17, 1906.' These letters were writ ten after the .Abbott land transaction. The -witness , was not cross-examined by Mr. Baldwin. Megeatb the Mtaad. O.- Wi Megeatht president of the Sheridan Coal company, and general manager of the Union Pacific Coal company from IK) to 1891!. told of his purchase of .the properties of the Van, Dyke. Rock Springe A' Sweet water Coal , cotnpany ' properties at Rock Springs, . and . that they, were ostensibly bought for the' Union' Pacific Coat; com pany. This' purchase was msde during, the receivership of the Union Pacific' and the witness held- onto the oroperty until after the reorganisation. Witness paid JJSO.000 for the Sweetwater, $15Q.0nO for the Rock Springs and $00,000 for ths Van Dyke mines. He operated the mines at a profit for about five yeara for the . company. -The mines were sold In 1901 to the Central Coal and Coke company of Kansas City, Mo. , , DlcklsMa net la DeaL In the continuation of his evidence Mr.' Megeath stated that Ed. Dickinson was general manager of the Union Pacific Rail way company during the time that the wit ness was In charge of the Union Pacific Coa' company's Interests, but that - Mr. Dickinson was not interested In ths pur-' chase of the coal company In any manner.. The purchase of these, independent -companies by Mr. Megeath was ostensibly In ths interest of the Union Pacific Coal com pany sod railway and was devised as the only way . to wipe out competition in the coal business as arrayed against the Union Pacific. The, Union Pacific at this time Con trolled the coal mines at Hanna and ,ex acted a differential- rate of 26 to SO cents per ton' In hauling against the Rock Springs 'companies In favor. .. of - the Hanna mines. The price on tlie.ooal rate was raised, but Jh selling price was low ered. The effect waa to atop the Shjpment of coal from the Rock Springs district by the Independent companies and ultimately resulted In ths change of ownership of these properties. At this time about 40 per cent of the shipments'1 from -tlte Rock Springs Independent properties waa over 1S"I See, September, 1, 190$. Insertion.

Proflte.Baln to Ororr. After, the.. witness took, over the man agement' of the. Independent companies at Rock Springs the profits began to increase and the coal from these mlnea waa ' sold all the way" from the Missouri river to the Pacific coast. The wl.tp.ess ' arranged a pool or combination of tte several coal companlea at Salt Lake, the general pur pose of which was to sell .coal for cash. J. E. Markel represented the Union Pa cific Coal company at Salt Lake City at that time. Mr. Megeath stated further, that the pool continued as long as be managed the Union' Pacific Coal company, but that It went to pieces after his re tirement from the management, but he did not know why. J Mr. Megeath said at the present time he Is not a member of any coal assocla tlon In Omaha. The present output ot the Sheridan Coal company, of which he Is president, was about 4,000 tons per day and the rata on one mine was $2.75 per ton to Omaha! He did not know what the preeent rate was. from Rock Springs, but the haul from Rock Springs was further than from Sheridan. . There were two other mines at Sheridan at present, whose output waa much less than witness' company. The companies were able to get all the cara they needed and were required to shut down only four or' Ave daya during the winter front ,' the shortsge of csrs. The rate of wages and material Is higher than at Rock Springs. The hauling rate la 60 cents lower la ten than In five car lots. He believed that the rate' from Rock Springs at present was 7$ cents In ten car lots. Nothing; Dolnar for Browa; Randall Wi Brown, manager of the Omaha Coal company, testified that he: owned , certain mines at Hanna, -; Wyp., and one In Iowa and Missouri. - iUs mi dm at) Hanna are about" el mires- west- wf fhat place. The Uniorl Pacific Coal , com pany also owns mines at that place, Ths witness' mines are about -half a mile from the main line of the' Union , Pacific, and extend .up to within a few feet of the Union Pacific, Witness acquired these coal lands about eight years ago for the purpose of opening the mines and had applied to the Union Pacific for transpor tation facilities in 190S. . General Marr ager Mohler of the Union Pacific had assured witness that these facilities would be afforded. The matter was . subse quently referred to D. O. Clark, general manager of the Union Pacific Coal com pany, and thus far nothing had been done, notwithstanding that Mr-. Brown offered to build the track and pay for it. in te meanwhile the Union Pacific had -built a .spur along ths property of ' the wit ness and refused to permit hie. witness' company to cross the Union Pacific tracks, As a result, the witness ssys, he is Unable to reach his mines by rail. He had made three demands for . track facilities, 'we to Mr. Mohler and one to Mr, Clark, witrt out result. . , : , ; There Is a good market for eoal In that vicinity, and for the product of witness' mines, which Is In all respects similar to the product of the mines owned by the Union Pacific Coal company In the' Im mediate locality, being a part of the same vein. ; , . J ' Powers that Be aad Are. Witness asserted to his knowledge the Central Coal and Coke company and Union Pact fie Coal company controlled all the coal landa in the Union Pacific coal coun try. The Union Pacific Coal company had also opened up Its mines after the wit ness had bought the property near Hanna.' It was the, rule of the Union Pacific Coal company to sell coal only In ten car lots at $3.76 only to Omaha, South . Omalia, Lincoln and Council Bluffs, but elsewhere out In the stats the price was $4 or $4.60.' These ten car lots meet all be billed at one time. Witness ouys hie Rock Springs coal of the Union PaciSc Coal company. When we cannot get Rock Springs we buy Kemmerer coal, which :s Controlled by the same company. The sate la from ti to $3.75 The witness figured the profit on Rock' Springs at from 6 to $ cents, and pay $8 cents on mtnj run and $1.60 on select. Witness belongs to the Iowa and Nebraska Coal 1 balers' as. soclation. The association, he says, is not a trust, but is organized simply, for the purpose of demanding the adjuetment of short weights and other railroad abases. Krastae Yaaasr It era lied. Auditor Erastus Young of the Harriman lines was recalled and gave additional testimony regarding the purchase of the A. T. Abbott quarter, northwest ' of sec tion 28, township 21, range 102 In Sweet water county. The property was trans ferred to the witness as trustee by D. O. Clark. The deed was never placed on file but was cancelled and destroyed.. He did not know why the deed was destroyed. The property was paid for In two checks, one for $10,000 and one for $3,200 payable to Warwick Saunders. They were Union Pacific railroad checks and were paid on a Union Pacific Coal company voucher. He knew of no copy of the deed, being kept, but there was a copy of the voucher. He said bs did not know why the deel was made to Clark and the money paid to Saunders.

It Is conceded thst within two or three yeara more the population will be doubled In this section. Madera Brotherhood Convention. BROKEN BOW, Neb., Sept. 18. (Special Telegram.)
