An Ogden paper maintains that the bust
hess on the Z. Il n. r. r. rapidly increases as
the road is extended. Contractors haye
agreed to furnish 100000 Ties next season
for a road from some point on the present
road via Boise and Walla Walla to navigation
on the Columbia river. This will tap the
Chinese trade and have passengers and post
freight here by the time steamers will reach
San Francisco, provided they continue their
trips there after reaching the Columbia. This
is quite an item in time, which the shrewd
eye of Gould sees and is working to his in

\ long litigation over the priority of the
Gray and Bell telephone patents has ceased.
Although Mr.. Gray in a letter to Mr.. Bell
acknowledges the latter to be the inventor of
the speaking telephone yet he claimed prior
ity on account of his invention of a musical
telephone which does not convey vocal
sounds. The suits were settled by the Bell
Company agreeing ito pay Gray a royalty of
20 per cent. The Bell Company has also
purchased the rights of the Edison telephone,
thus securing exclusive control.

Yesterdays MINER gave news of an uprising
of the Uintah Utes in Northern Utah. This
brings the matter near home. Their reservation
is East Of Salt Lake City and about rs miles
South of Green river Station, on the Union
Pacific r. r. Ashleys Fork, on which the
massacre of settlers took place, rises in the
Uintah Mountains. and lows into Green
River. Wouldn't it be a fine thing nov if
Sitting Bull should take a notion to have a
hand h the broth? The folly of the SO called
economy which cuts down the army TO a
shadow is apparent. The costs for t~ransporta-

have built the only Indian house on the res

table-has turned on me, and without the
slightest provocation, and would have killed
me but for the laborers, who got me away.
No Indian raised his hand to prevent the
outrage, and those who had received contin-
ued kindness from myself and family, stood
around and laughed at the brutal assault.
They are an unreliable and treacherous race.

An exchange says the first choice of the Re-
publicans i'll the Pacific States is for Blaine,
who has earned their friendship by his atti-
tude on the Chinese question. Should Grant
be nominated he will get a strong vote. Sher-
man is not a good third. He has a~ntagonized
the people of these States against him by his
hostility to the m ming interests. He could
not. if nominated, poll the vote of his party
in them.

SPEEDY AND ABSOLUTE ExrERMINAToS OF THK
DISEASE THE ONLY SAFE COURSE-THE DISEASE
rpfpEMIC NOT SPORADIC - NECESSITY OF
PROMPT ACTION IN ALL IHE STATES WHO"
HAVE INFECTED CATTLE.
Professor James Law, in the following letter. re-
views the main features of the cattle disease. and
points out the only remedy for the spread OF this
Old World scourge. From tho history OF tho
disease on the Continent in Europe. and from
his own wide experience IN England, he DO
duces the logical conclusion that swift and entire
determination of the cattle pest is the only course
that promises any safety, the disease is recog-
nized az epidemic not sporadic Therefore he claims
that il is the duty of all the States 10 take vigorous
measures to stamp out the conagion within their
