Show J fe THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL 23, 1922. TheVThat Vanished Th aod lornor to Jama uta owned up legislature of tie Austin gi eat March that the altuatioa was very alngu-la- r Indeed. There via humor In It, viewed on way, though Mr. March failed to perceive any point to the joke, Mr. March, or eomelbody, Jiad mislaid a email parcel consisting of ten thousand acre good, solid, acres of tlmberiand, (or which he had paid five dollars an acre. It was recorded on the books of the state land office as a "gore," Its location was given as being In range It of the wild lands, and It was described as at surveying set-ofrom four ahlps. According to the state accounts which rma back for many years, the V- shaped section did exist and had reverted to tho stato because the taxes had not been paid for eo long that tho tax titles allowed tho land agent! to give a clear deed to a purchaser. Mr. March lived in New Tork and was hot in tho land or In the timber business. He Was a speculator. On account of tho development tho paper industry and because ho had hoard of the fortunes ledge-found- ff X tf enterthat were mads In ths prise ho decided to take a flyer, and he ran down to a border state and asked the land agent what ha happened to have on the obelt that day.'' land agent pulled down the gore. The land agents office was In the capttol building of the state, pulp-timb- r r TZT er and Mr. March had admired the structure very much (rora the outside; doing business with a state right In Its own stxtehouse certainly seemed to bo a more reliable proposition than huvlng wheat - on margin. Therefore Mr. March took the gore and paid cash and went right back to New Tork. When be later wont bump by selling wheat which ha had never seen to some- - body who did not want to see any wheat, but only tho color of Mr. March a money, tho owner of tho (Ore asked a paper mill magnate to send some timber cruisers over tho tract and make an offer It woo then that Mr. March was assured, offer the cruisers had reported back, that ho did not have any gore. According to deeds of adjacent township owners, figuring from their recorded metes and bounds, there was not one acre of land than Mr. March could call his own. Ho hustled down Into the state and Interviewed the land agent under the dome of tho eapltol. Tho agent averred that ths situation was very singular. 0 But ha declared that ho bad had no hand in making tho land up In the timber had dono only what he " country: that he was entitled to do sell on the basis of tho states records - - After that Mr, March went to the gov- - ernor and Interviewed members of tho state legislature, He found no alacrity anywhere In regard to handing back hi money. Buying tax titles from a state, at cut rates, wso different from buying real land, ha was told. He hired lawyers; they told him that a state eorfld not be sued unless tho legislature passed a special act permitting the putt. He hired lobbyists to help him In putting through that special act. Apparently the stats did net care to get Into a lawsuit over a small matter: Mr. March's idea was turned down by both branches. That was In April, early. One day, Juat before tho middle of the month, Mr. March dropped dead In hts New Tork office. Apoplexy was ascribed. So that was the end of James Austin March. Tally two weeks shead of time In May. because the season was open, the head of the Cupsuptlo drive reached the gorge of Misery Jaws; Roaring BIH Benson was drive master. He drove his crew more savagely than usual that season because the winter snowfall had been light and there was not much reserve water behind the driving pitch. Benson gave his men four meaTs a day the second at ten in the forenoon. They had taken their tin plates of food and their pannikins of tea from the cook and his helper and were scattered around, the cook tent, sltUngon rocks and the ground. drive master had two men- ss guests st a table made of boards nailed between trees One of them, whom he adas Squire," was dressed respectfully field attorney for Tristram Shaw, "G O G The men of the section never called the Great Onmwa Grant powerful paper and pulp syndicate anything but "O O O. , Shaw was elderly, and hts face was as full of wrinkles as hts black suit - The sullen man who accompanied him wore a deputy sheriffs badge, Shaw had told Roaring Bill what business was taking them through the territory under the sway - of G O G They were serving legal- notices on ths squatter to "get" Off the ttmberlands.

He rose from the block of wood on which he had been sitting while he ate. Benson followed Shaw and the officer toward the settlement; the men who had finished eating straggled along behind the boss.

It was black, riotously wavy, and unbound; It clustered closely In ringlets at tho nape of her neck and was snort enough to show her neck; ths masses furnished an ebon frame for her glowing ' beauty.

"You know even better than I do that all the lands which adjoin the territory of your company are owned by other timber companies Just as selfish; none of you will sell lends to settlor. And you know that te organised towns outside the woods there Is a prejudice against allowing the people of a community like this to go tn and settle. The taxpayers allege that they run ths risk of having paupers on their hands. she declared, with bitterness. And In moet cases ths taxpayers are right about it, he sneered. - J , Moat of the men of the crew bad arrived on the scene and driving were banked below the elope la a half circle.
