SILVER CRY. April 2

SILVER CRY, April p.
Yesterday afternoon about six O'Clock
"a shooting ARRAY took place which may
result fatally for the party injured.
Patsey Koran, vino is bartender for
James Ryan at South Mountain, few
DAYS ago trusted jim Hamlin for several
dollars worth of liquor. Hamlin was
about leaving the town, when Koran
overlook him and told him the bill
must be paid Hamlin reluctantly
handed ont the money, and came here.
Koran came here yesterday morning,
and was met on the street by Hamlin,
who used abusive and threatening Ian
euage. Koran told him he did not
want to have anything to do with him,
and he wanted to be let alone. They
met again last evening at Jones and
French's saloon, when Hamlin renewed
the attack, denouncing his action at
South Mountain. Koran got up and
went out on the sidewalk. where he
leaned against post. Hamlin followed
with a revolver in hand, and without a
word of warming deliberately shot his
unfortunate victim in the left thigh just
below the hip. Har3lin was seized just
as he was about to fire a second shot.
The physician has pronounced Koran S
wound dangerous. The main bone
leading from the thigh to the knee is
badly shattered. and the bullet, which
is from large navy revolver, is still
somewhere in the vicinity Of the thigh.
Some persons here were anxious to re-
sort to lynching. bat the law and order
element prevailed.
Hamlin, hen interviewed this morn
ing, said he did nor intend to kill Horan,
and if he had not been drunk the affair
would not have happened.
At an examination before Justice
Wickensham, Hamlin was held in the
sum of $500 on a charge of assault with
intent to kill Hamlin tried to bride
our efficient Deputy Sheriff to help him
to escape, who promptly placed him in
irons.

and waving of handkerchiefs the flrst
passenger train that has left Ogden Tor
nine DAYS went off booming. The tram
consisted of two locomotives, three
baggage cars and ten sleepers, with zoo
first class passengers. At O'Clock the
train reached Echo, where the passen-
gers were informed they would have TO
wait until trains on the way from Evan
ston arrived. Shortly afterward an en-
oine came west from Castle Rock re-
porting that the west-bound train had
been cut off at that point, as the con-
ductor feared to take the chances OF
crossing over the bridge.
There are five passenger trains west
of Green River moving westward, Win
no less than 5000 passengers on board,
and there are nearly as many more
waiting at Omaha.
The weather along the line continues
warm, with indications OF rain. Some
of the streams have fallen, and others
have risen to-day.
Trains will leave Ogden regularly
hereafter. with only an interruption at
the point of transfer, which will take
five hours.

PREPARING FOR THE IMMI-
GRANTS.

The ebb in the tide of immigration
which has set in toward California,
caused by the breaks on the Union
Pacific Railroad, has afforded the
people of San Francisco and Sacra-
mento opportunity to prepare for the
flow which is coming. Meetings have
been held in those cities, at which
many of the prominent citizens ex-
pressed their views of the situation,
and suggested means of providing the
immigrants with information as to
where lands and employment can be
obtained. Those conyersant with the
resources of California believe that it
is amply capable of taking care OF all
who may arrive there. One of the
speakers said there was more land IN
the State than in all New England. ard
that for miles in the Salinas Valley,
which was susceptible of cultivation,
there was not q single habitation.
The agent of the Changers I'm
migration Bureau suggested a
plan to establish temporary home
for the immigrants, where all
the information possible should be
furnished them relative to different
parts of the State and where
employment could be procured.
A committee was appointed to prepare
an address to immigrants giving them
information and encouragement. The
general feeling seemed to be that i'm
migration should be encouraged and
that all who come will be amply
provided for.

THE county printing is again dwelt
upon at length by Waldo and Julien.
They had the printing for nearly two
years at their own prices, which were
considerably in advance of those al
lowed the SILVER STATE, and it hurts
them to be deprived of it. The print
ing awarded the SILVER STATE by the
County Commissioners amounted, as
before stated, to SO in scrip, and no
figuring of Waldo and julien can make
it otherwise, and at the rates heretofore
charged by them it would amount to
SS4. The reports of the Auditor and
Clerk are ordered to be published once,

Waldo and julien, like great many
her things they do, amount to

The result of the Connecticut cleo
ton and the defeat of the Force bill
have induced Grant to give up all hope
of being candidate for third term.
The Washington correspondent OF the
New York Graphic confirms Sargent's
statement that Grant is not in the field.
The correspondent goes even further
than Sargent by saying that the Presi-
lent would have declined the nomina-
ion or being considered candidate
lnder any circumstances.

THE FUTURE OF CHINA.

We were very much interested recently, in
conversation with an intelligent Chinese merchant
of this city, in which the topic was his own
country, its resourcea and its future. He con-
frmed the impression that is gaining ground in
Europe and America, that the political system
which has so long p~aralyzed the industrial forces
and cramped the resources of China is destined
soon either to break up or to undergo important
notifications. The exelusiveness of the Celestial
Empire, it is now apparent, has for some time
past been yielding to that modern world which
now hedges it in on all sides, and the time is soon
at hand when its gigantic dormant powers will
be ouickened into modern life. 1t is well known
that the difficulty of opening China to foreign
commercial intercourse has been solely due to
the weak jealousy of the government and the
ignorance and corruption of the government
officers. The Chinese nation is really among the
most industrious, and most disposed to general
and active commercial intercourse in the world.
Should the obstacles be removed, we may expect
to see a revolution in the China trade.
It is a fact not generally known, that in China
coal and iron-'s in their combination the sinews
of industry and the master-key of trade lie in
abundance ready at hand. Science and practical
experience are to be had from Europe and Amer
lea, while labor, of unparalleled excellence and
cheapness, and simply unlimited in quantity, is
ready. And this will prove a more profitable
opportunity for the Chinese at home, instead of
| spreading in ill-rewarded profusion over America
AMI Australia. China, it has been estimated
includes within its limits about a fourth of the
human race, more homogeneous, more industrl-
Gus, and perhaps hardly less cnterprising, where
the opportunity occurs, than the inhabitants OF
any of the more modern nations which have
hitherto outstrippcd her in the path of wealth
and civilization.
The coal-felds of China are not only very ex-
~tcnsive, but the quality of the coal is excellent.
\ few years ago an English Admiral on his
return to England carried some specimens. which
were pronounced by ANALYSTS to be fully equal,
if not superior to the best steam coal of Cardiff.
This was brought from a place within forty miles
of Pekin. st the present moment, but few of
the many coal mines of China are worked, and
none on scientific principles. There are no steam
engines, pumps or tramways. Though iron mines
are numerous, and though iron has been In use
from time immemorial, its manufacture is carried
on from the first to the last of its processes. in
the mostprimitiye manner.
1t is net easy (says . recent number of the
London Times TO forecast exactly the ultimate
result of introducing the vast industrial forces of
China into the general current of commercial
enterprise and competition but if such a portent-
Gus change should in process of time be made,
the value of labor throughout the world must as
necessarily fall as the value Of silver fell with the
discovery of the mines of Peru.

Timber in Foreign Countries.

Land and Water says During the spring
oc 1874 the British Government addressed a cir
cular to the representatives of Great Britain in
the principal timber producing countries of
Europe, in the United States and Brazil, in Cuba
and Honduras, asking for information as to the
production and consumption of timber informa-
ton desired more particularly by the Commits
sioners of our Woods and Forests. Fifteen ques-
tions we're asked. These related to the sorts Of
trees grown in each country, the uses made of
each kind, the ownership of forest lands, the
causes of increase or decrease in the acreage Of
forests, the quantity of wood cut annually, and
the amounts exported and consumed at home.
Inquiries also were made as to the ascertained 10
iuence of forests on local climate, rainfall. floods,
ETC.. and, particularly in Switzerland, whether
any steps have been taken to replant the sides Of
the mountains. 50 as to stay the action of rain in
denuding the soil. Various reports on all the
foregoing topics have row been received, and may
be procured in the foYn of a Parliamentary Blue
Book, from which we may here Gull a few brief
extracts, commencing the work itself to the care

forests will change the character of a country and

ports a very dePlorabIe condition of things. He
saws the outside public has no idea OF the real state
of affairs this side of the Rio Grande. y wide

preponderate to a great extent over the Americans,
and thereby have control of all civil offices. For

the unceasing and enormous demands for wood.
especially for charcoal, house building. and lucI-

power of the forests this fact is of worldwide
Importance, for there is hardly a maritime coun-
try, except China and Japan, to which Swedish
wood in some form does not find its way. At
last, in 1874, a law was passed forbidding the
telling of any trees less than seven inches in
diameter, at sixteen feet from the ground. This
statute applies only to the BOthnian forests. Ii

may greatly affect the mining interests of Great
Britain, for il will cut off the supply of small tim

is now a Sylvan Society, and great pains are be-
ing taken to induce people to replant cleared and
denuded mountain slopes, SO as to prevent the
damage which floods, landslIps, and avalanches
have of late years so frequently inflicted. Swift
zerland also has an industry-that OF wood cary.
ing-which she has made peculiarly her own,
although it was not introduced into the Bernese
Overland before 1915. This wood carving an.

which must have increased since 1868, when the
Instruction broke out, for there has been very
little cutting Of late years but, as we might ex'
pect where the Spaniards are concerned, no more
care is taken, no less recklessness is shown by the
farmers who cut wood for their use in Cuba thar

The STORY of Prince Henry of Portugal, and
the sketch of the life of the poet Camoens, pub
lisbed in a series of articles in this paper, are
now issued in pamphlet form. The author, Mr..
w. NJ. Gibson, we learn intends to continue the
publication of other subjects in connection with
the above, so as to embrace a general account of
Portuguese and Spanish discovery and conquest,
especially in the Pacific. The present pamphlet
is a highly interesting and valuable contribution
to the literary production and character of the
islands. Both the Prince and the poet are new
themes to American readers yet they ought to
find a place in an American temple of fame,-the
one as the herald and forerunner, and the other
as a foremost celebrator of American discovery in
heroic verse. Dir. Gibson's treatment Of the
subject is characterized by a warmth of style and
an evident admiration of his heroes, that irresist-
IDLY attracts and holds the attention of the reader
The pamphlet is for sale at the bookstores.
