PULLING, FOR MILF0RD.'

\ PETITION has reached Governor
Thomas asking the transfer Of the
seat Of the Second District Court
from Beaver TO Milford. The re-
tition can hardly be numerousIy
signed, since it Of course emanates
from the latter town ami there are
not enough people in it to make up a
great showing.
The same movement was made
by Milford parties shortly after the
town was established and enjoying
n species Of The fungus s'boom. y
This was soon after the Utah Cen.
tral railway reached there. The
scheme fell through because Of the
better accommodations at Beaver
and the evident uncertain eiarac.
ter of the other place. For the
same and other reasons It seems 10
US the petition should not now be
granted.
1t is undeniably the case that the
thirty-fivc miles Of staging between
the two towns is much the worst
part Of the trip-that il Is anything
but a luxury in sGmmerand Is a real
hardship in winter. But it
used tO be all staging from here
there, nearly 200 miles Of which is
now cut of by rail. Aud then it
should be considered that there is
not n house in Milford suitable for
the purposes of a court. With one
exception they are frame structures,
of small dimensions, the exception
being hotel building divided up
into small rooms. And there is no
jaIl or place that could be converted
into one and anything like security
be a feature. In addition to which
the accommodations are inadequate
for the reception and propereare of
such a crowd as the sitting Of a trial
term Of the District Court invariably
brings 10 place.
At Beaver it is altogether differ
ent. There are places of entertain
ment for as many as may come.
