water rose about ten inches last night.
There will be little damage there, and

This afternoon an attempt WAS made to
tow the California Transportation Compa-

from the company's wharf to a point
about two hundred yards down stream.
The moorings had no sooner
been slackened than the barge
shot out into the current and speeded
down stream. It was eeen to pass the
immense break in safety, and continued
on its way rapidly. Five men are on
board. The steamer San Oma, which
was lying near by, was at once sent on.
and kilograms were wired to stations
down the river to keep lookout for the
barge.

How Utah Officials Find PrOfftabl
Sources of Revenue.

How Utah Officials Find Profitable
sources of Kevenue.
SALT LAKE Cry, December 14.-The
Grand Jury of the Third District Court
this afternoon made report. The report
shows that it has been the practice OF
the United States Marshal to charge the
penitentiary twenty-five to forty cents
per gallon for milk from COWS kept there
and cared for by prison labor, and fed
principally from TODD raised upon the
reservation, or paid for by the Govern
ment. These milk vouchers since the
lst of January, 1889, have amounted
to about $1,000. The Marshal also
has been selling to the penitentiary
potatoes raised on the reservation by
convict labor. Another fruitful source of
revenue for him was team hire for
deputies hauling prisoners to and from
the penitentiary. The Marshal also
supports partly from the public supplies
and table leavings, twelve milch COWS,
100 hogs and two extra horses. In one
year one team, for which the Govern
ment provided the driver, earned the
Marshal in hauling the sum of 81, 200.
The jury says for $500 the Government
could provide itself with horses, wagon
and harness to perform all this service,
and for 500 additional purchase
two good cows sufficient to furnish all the
milk necessary for the peniteAtiary, and
it would seem ag though it were econ.
omy to do this. The jury also complains
that the Marshal has shown unusual
favors to prisoners convicted OF unlawful
cohabitation. The supplies now fur
nished the penitentiary are rs per cent
too high.
The jury also investigated the admin.
istration Of county affairs, and makes q
sensational report thereon. Road worn
has received in five years STA. 900, and
there are no bids on work and no proper
vouchers. The county has sunk in canals
$122 900, and has no canals save a waste
ditch, and nothing to show for It. The
collectors defalcations are severely COM
mented upon. The county has lost $780,.
600 by two collectors and $11 900 through
clerk. The report says the county off.
Gals deal with themselves as business
firm for supplies, and show favoritism to
Mormon prisoners.
The County Court has voted away
valuable franchises for no public consid-
Grafton. Officers have been trading with
each other for supplies and entering into
partnership with spoilers, dividing with
them the fines imposed. The city also
paid to bogus by draulic canal company
SO .697 for an interest in the Jordan river
dam, which the company never owned,
but which the county obligingly bonded
over to the city, the county receiving not
a cent of the money. The report, in
closing, charges that the bulk of this
| fund found it's Way into the pockets oil
city and county officials.
