sue the enterprise, allowed the concession to

NEW YORK. Jan. lie. P Huntington
was in court in the suit of Brady VS.. Hunt
ington, and during his examination TIE fol-
lowing reference was made to the famous
Cotton" correspondence:
Question. Did YOU not, while in Washing
ton, from 1874 to 1877, write letters to va
rious people in which you in substance stated
that you desired the fact not to be known
that parties interested in Central Pacific
were also interested in the Southern Pacifica
Answer No.
O. Do you deny it, A. | wrote to some
Of our people in California that they were
making some things prominent that were
not facts. Some of my people were little
vain to control a great many railroads, and
1 told them So Says l: Don't
make out that you are running these
things, because you are not They will drift
away from you, and your property will
drift away. Don't be climbing up to show
yourselves-to air your vanity in these mat
ters." We had 800 miles of road between
San Diego and Piedras Negras of wild coun-
try, that we had to run over. 1t was inhab.
inhabited by wild Indians from the
time that the memory of man runneth
not to the contrary. l said we had
solved the question. We had invested Sl0,-
COO 900 there and had road over the great
Colorado desert, We had at least 8, 600 600
invested between there and the San Gargona
pass. Col. Scott, with rival enterprise,
was in Washington asking the govern
msnt to indorse s6o,0O0,000 In bonds

solve the question without government
bands He could not do it. Our in
vestment was lying wasted year after year

The services held at the Congrega-
tional church on Sunday evening in
commemoration of the fourteen ami
versary of the organization Of the
Sabbath school Of that church, was
attended by a very numerous congrega-
ton and the services were quite inter-
esting. The exercises were conducted
by Hon. ]. S. Taylor, the superin-
tendent of the school, assisted In part
by the pastor, Rev. c. M. Sanders.
The excellent singing by the choir,
assisted at times by the entire congre-
cation, was one Of the leading features
Of the occasion.
A brief address by DR.. Wyman In
regard to Sunday school work in this
and other counties contained much
useful and gratifying information
to those interested in the work. Ac-
cording to the doctor the. first church
Sabbath school established in this
country was at Pittsburg, Penn, in
1909, and from a small beginning, the
work has grown until there are now
over seven million pupils and others
engaged in this work in the United
States.
Deacon Underwood gave short synop-
teal statement of the rise and growth
OF the school, in 30 far as the number
Of those attending the same is con
cerned. There were twenty teachers
and pupils that constituted the school
when first organized, and the number
has gradually kept increasing until the
average attendance at the present TINT
is nearly two hundred. Some Of the
Hrst teachers and pupils are with the
school now.
Rev. @. N. Sanders made a few very
interesting remarks and paid an elo'
quent tribute to the memory Of the late
| Edward p. Johnson.
Mr.. Taylor also spoke and warmly
commended the work done by the
teachers, and thought that to them and
the pastor of the church was chiefly due
the credit Of making the school a sue
cess. REGULATIONS and songs by severa'
of the children of the school were inter.
spersed among the other exercises.

kilograms attached was made, to which

ter last night, the case was postponed

PENDANT to give bail in the meantime In
the sum Of $1,000, or a certified check
to the sheriff as security for the
amount. One Of the charges against

accomplice of Steward In the Little
Venture cattle case.

The legislative excursionists reached
the capital on their return from Salt
Lake, on Sunday evening at $3.50, all in
good spirits and much pleased with
their trip and with their reception and
treatment at the city Of saints. No
accident of any very serious nature oc-
CURED to mar the pleasure Of the
journey, although on the first night out
from Cheyenne, the train ran into a
herd of cattle near Cooper's lake, and
several Of the animals were killed,
which caused considerable delay. Near
Evanston a car wheel was broken,
which caused a long delay. On
recount of the various delays eI-
perienced, they did not reach Salt Lake
until 10 O'Clock Wednesday night.
They all spoke in the highest terms of
the courtesies extended to them by
Governor Murray, General McCook, the
members of the legislature, the mayor
and city authorities and by the people
generally. On their return, the train
made quite a stop at Ogden, where
speeches were made by various parties,
among whom was President Holiday,
of the territorial council, which is said
to have been an unusually good one,
and a very timely and appropriate one.
Some delays occurred on the return
trip, but not such as to cause the
excursionists much inconvenience.
