THE COAL FIELDS OF UTAH
A Movement by California Capt.
talists to Tap Them.

Two or three days ago, says the Sar
Diego Daily Union of September 29th
Colonel William Taylor, Of New York
arrived at Del Co o1ado. Colonel Ta5
Tor was preceded by Mr.. Richards, a so
Of New York, who has been occupied
for several weeks il spying out San
Diego's resources and advantages, and
manifesting an especial interest in its
harbor and shipping facilities. 1t ap-
pea1s that Mr.. Richards was the fore
/ runner of ColoLeI Taylor, and that the
,atter comes on al Mr.. Richards recon-
mendat.ons Both gentlemen are un
derstood to belong to s7ndlcate u
New Workers who are interested IN the
coal fields OF Utah, and they are here
canvassing the feasibility of securing
an outlet for railroad at San D ego
Bay. Their chief interest is said to be
In the coal rather than the railroad,
and their connection with the projs oted
extension of the Utah Southern is de-
MED, but any railroad building from
Utah to San Diego would probably
involve the exten ion of the Utah
Southern. It Is said that Colonel Tay-
lor and Mr.. Richards are on the look
out fer terminal facilities on San Diego
Bav, and that they have their eyes on
both the Del Mar and the Cuyamaca
opportunities.
Colonel Taylor visited the Chamber
OF Commerce rooms, and expressed his
astonishment at the size and quality of
the exhibit now placed there. Pointing
to the fruit and vegetables, he said !:
while all that is very nice, the great
est source of wealth you have is the
hsrbor that lies so beautiful in front of
your city. Your possibilities as q
vast commerce are very great"
A San Diego dispatch of October 1st
says that two important contracts in |
the construction of the Cuyamaca Rail- |
way have been signed within the past |
few days The Cuyamaca is the road |
in which Governor Waterman and his
are interested. One of these |
contracts is for the sale of bonds to |
the amount of $5O0.0O0 on the first |
twenty miles of the road. and the other |
is for the purchase OF 225 miles OF ties. |
The bonds were placed in London, and |
comprise the first issue of total of |
81 900 900. The estimated cost of the
and equipment OF the first
twenty miles of the road. which will
carry it to the further limits of the FL
Jsjon Valley. is $500 900. but this cost
has been provided for almost entirely
oy stock subscriptions, 80 that the
800 600 bonds may be applied to the
of the road beyond Lake
ide.
The contract for 225 miles of ties
means contract for sufficient ties to
equip the road to point near Needles,
,r the full charter length OF the line;
,ut the line will be extended to juno
ion with the Utah Central The ties
Will be out in the forests of Inyo
}Ourty. An order for steel rails w 8
,iven month ago, and the rails will be-
as soon and as fast as they are
leeded. 1t is now stated that since the
ale of the bonds has been successfully
e2otiated, the construction force will
e largely increased and tee work will
q pushed more rapidly than ever.

CHASE CITY, VA, Juue II, lSSS.
The tobacco and corn crop Of this section
have made an unfayOrable start. The recent
heavy rains OYcrh owed all the flats ami com
uacted the high lands too much for vegetation
10 flourish. The wheat crop Is the most IN
different there has been for several years.
The Clrksyille and North Carolina Rail-
road Company have recorded mortgage in
the clerks office Of thiS county TO the Cen
fral Trust Company, Of New York. 1t is a
long document for large amount, and the
tax on 1t was Sl1, 100.
1t has been asserted by some that General
Winfield Scott never pTsctced law. In
looking over our old court records few
DAYS ago found in the court proceedings of
January II, 1907, this entry:
winfield scott, gent, licensed 10 prac-
tce as an attorney IN this county and other
courts in the Commonwealth, took the oath
Of fidelity TO the United states and this Com
monweath, and also tue oath OF an attorney.
and thereupon allowed TO practice IN the
courts"
lie was then only twenty-one years old.
There were several arrests for Illicit dis
thing made in this county a few days ago by
United states internal.reyenue officers, and
considerable quantity Of material, along
with the distllerieS, was destroyed. This Is
an unusual thing for this county. THIS Is a
"dry county"-not, however, by vote OF
the people, but by the refusal OF the county
Judge TO grant licenses. The result Is Illicit
sales and violations OF law, a dminution Of
revenue, the dissatisfaction Of the masses OF
the people, and no corresponding benefit to
the county or 10 any community. j.

Baptist church, and the authorities au1 por-
ton Of the congregation thereof. several
DAYS ago, on meeting Of the official board,
charges were preferred against the pastor,
and II was decided TO dispense with
his services. The charges were. how
ever, subsequently withdrawn, but The
order ~ dismi>,mll remained on the ground
that satisfaction Wa not given. Notice 81
dismissal was served. Pastor Calls Is SUI

hnt on arriving there he found the doors Of
the church locked against him aud adm's-
sion was refused ny the sexton.
The pupils were standing outside wait
ING for The school to be opened, aud
the pastor forced his way INTO the build
IN through a window, opened the doors,
and admitted the children. For this act q

tresuas.. The case came NJ before The
MAYOR this morning for examination. and
occupied several hours Of the Courts time
Cllhs was represented by counsel. and 1t
was claimed bv the defence that under the
rules governing The church the pastor must
hoe gwen tnrcc months notice before he can
bedi>missed. On the other hand was claimed
that this particular rule had been Tcscinded
al the last meeting Of the official board. The
Mayor decided To dismiss the warrant and to
turn the matter over to the authorities Of the
