THE SECOND DISTRICT.
Reasons Why the Court Sessions Should Not
be Held in Milford.


Judge Anderson, of the Second district,
went to Beaver yesterday afternoon to
hold court. The Judge and members of the
bar had hoped to get the place of holding
court changed from Beaver to Milford, but
TO. the present sitting it has not been &C
complished.
1t has been an open fact for some time
that petitions have been forwarded to Gov
ernor Thomas in favor of the change, and
that the judge and lawyers who reside In
Salt Lake are heartily in favor OF the
move a HERALD reporter recently visited
the second district and gathered some facts
regarding the move, and from what was
learned we find that should change be
made from Beaver 10 Milford it will
WORK A GENERAL HARDSHIP
on the people in the lower part Of our ter
ritory.
Milford is nearly the most southerly
st .tion on the consolidated line, extending
to southern Utah, and a more forsaken,
desert-like place is hard to imagine;
even common house plants die there. A
lady, who is a great lover of flowers, has
resided there some time, but told US she
would be happy when she could get away, be-
cause she is robbed of the fair, tender things
of nature. The climate and earth being so
unproductive, we find an absolute barren
waste, so that the five or six families re
siding at Milford have to get the most COM

mon vegetables and all their food from
surrounding settlements.
This fact makes it
UTE EXPENSIVE TO LIVE

QUITE EXPENSIVE TO LIVE
in that place, and meal, of the commonest
kind, costs more there than in almost any
other part of this territory. Hay and grain
for stabling, cost likewise. s-a.e
Now the people of the southern part OF
the territory are not so flush with money
although about their homes many enjoy the
bounties of our fair land to good extent.
The court compels many citizens and poor
peoplezto- attend as jurors and witnesses,
who are of the class we have mentioned; to
them protracted stay in Milford would
work financial hardship.
They would be required to stop at the
hotel at Milford, or nowhere, except on the
streets, could they be accommodated. Nc
more than six families can be counted in
the place by calling the hotels families.
Beaver is fourishing little city, where
many in the second district have acquaint-
ances, and with whom they may stop when
in attendance On court, if they so choose;
otherwise, they can find comfortable places
to board at fair prices. AS the attendance
in court in that district also requires a
horse or two to be stabbed, it can be done
in Beaver without it appearing to the visi-
tors that they are being robbed.

THE COURT HOUSE IN BEAVER

is nearing completion, and is an elegant and
a commodious building; should the court
be held at Milford, there is but one build
ing, formerly a hotel, that would in any
way suit, and that is rather a joke to be
considered a court building.
The people, as stated, are much against
the changing Of court from Beaver to Mil
ford with but few exceptions. In Milford
they like it, and there are not few in that
immediate vicinity, who think they could
make a rich and profitable business by fur
nishiug supplies. 1t to be hoped no change
will be made

THE MILL GRINDS.
The Aliens Who Applied for
Naturalization Yesterday.
THE CASE OF MR.. BoGENDAHL.
The Boys and the Sewer Pipe-SOme Larceny
Caies-Business Before Judge Bartch-
Second District Court.

The naturalization mill opened again yes
terday, but ''no Mormons need apply"
Vinceuz Hansen, Alfred Shires, Heber G.
Sorenson, William Hraut, Charles Just,
Arthur Westermau, August GustafsOn and
Max Wagner, will all vote the Liberal
ticket and passed without any trouble
Nikola A. Gilbrandsen presented himself
for admission, but the Liberal representa-
tive claimed that he had evidence tending
to show that the applicant was member
of the Mormon church, and asked a con-
tinuance until he could examine the records
of the ward, which were kept by the clerk,
and ascertain whether the applicant was or
was not on the list He asked that sub
puena issue for the clerk of the Thirteenth
ward and his records. The judge denounced
it at first, but finally ordered that sub
pGna issue.
Jens Jacob Bogedahl also applied for
citizenship He had been Mormon at one
time: that is. he mad been baptized, but had
not followed out the principles of the
church since he arrived here. He did not
consider that he belonged to the church.
He could positively say he did not The
judge was about to pass him, when the
Liberal representative asked permission to
introduce a witness to show that the APP
plicant had made certain statements, which
tended to prove that he was Mormon.
The witness stepped forward and testified
that Bogedahl, a couple of years ago, had
told him, that MOrmonism was the only
true religion. f. S. Fernstrom testified
that he and the applicant lived in the same
ward; that Bogedahl had never attended
any of the ward meetings and was not
looked upon as a Mormon. The Liberals then
impeached Fernstrom's testimony by putt
ing NJ. Hainel on the stand, who swore that
Fernstrom had stated that he did not be-
heve that an oath taken under such cir
cumstances was binding. A continuation
of the case until this morning was then
had, when Mr.. Bogendahl will make an
other effort to prove that he Is not a Nor
mon.

THE MOUNTAIN PASS.
Who Are Those Engineers And What
Are They About.

The pass over the Cascades,
through which the Oregon Pacific is
projected and surveyed, and where
it is expected the work of construc-
ton will be pushed about May list,
seems to be in dispute.
From gentleman who came down
from the mountains this morning,
we learn of the continued attempt of
a body of engineers to capture the
coveted pass. Our informant had
seen a man who had just returned
from near the scene of the strife.
He said that there were twenty
five civil engineers, with their ac-
coutrements, camped in the region
of the pass, which they say they
propose holding. They are either of
the Wasbash route or of the Chicago
& Northwestern. This is as much
as we were able to learn from him.
He is confident the Oregon Pacific
does not feel easy over the situation
affairs have taken, and thinks they
will hurry and build their line
through the pass.
One thing is quite certain, and it
is that at least two or three new
trancOntinental lines are seeking a
direct route to the coast. and this
pass promises to be a big pOint-the
bone of contention. Whether or
not the Oregon Pacific holds the
pass, it is evident some line will be
through it, and that at
once.
Evening capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1888-1893, 1889-03-12

Strangers say that we are the
most quiet civil people they have
ever met with. They think we take
the world very easy and are II little
too much inclined to keep things in
the same style. They remark that
nowhere do they meet so many old
settlers and natives-all the old
folks got here in the fifties and all
the young'uns were born here. In
nearly all the Missouri 2alley states
the young folks have Just arrived
while the old ones are just coming
on. But we think we can see n diff
ference beginning to show itself,
New faces are becoming more COM
mon. If the newcomers are as
honest and clever as the old resi-
dentcrs it will be a happy thing for
the country.

TO Secnre ImmIgratIon.

A writer in a Portland paper says
the true way to secure immigration
and make country prosper is to be
able to sell land ut fair price and
cut up great farms into small
ones. The money to be made here
in Oregon by agricultural pursuits
cannot be made by trying to farm
on large scale but by selling off
land in small tracts, especially land
that is located near towns, orsuited
for fruit growing. One man can
make money off twenty acres be-
cause he can do much or most of it
without hiring, and by gardening,
small fruits and orcharding, his
crops will be Of the remunerative
kind. Even if engaged in ordinary
farmi ng it is possible to make more
clear money otIa quarter Of "A sec
ton than has been made from
whole section as commonly done.
Diversified farming is all that can
pay. To grow wheat after wheat
will not pay.

CAPITAL CITY NEWS.
Recital Of the Daily Doings Compiled From
Various Sources
Happenings Over the City and News
From the Country.
When Oregon Became a State.

Oregon was admitted as a state on
the 14th of February, 1859. News
thereof was received in Oregon on
the arrival at Astoria of the steamer
Brother Johnathan, from San Fran
cisco, at 4:3O on the morning Of
March 18th. The news came to San
Francisco by overland mail, which
left st. Louis on the 14th of Febru-
ary and arrived at San Francisco on
the 10th of March.
On Tuesday, March 14th the news
was received at Oregon City. There
was no telegraph lines or daily mails
in Oregon. Communications were
maintained up and down the Will
lamette valley almost wholly by
boats on the Willamette river. No
boat was to start from Canemah to
Salem that day, and it wassuppOsed
that the people at the capitol would
like to hear the news. Accordingly,
about noon that day, young man
named Stephen Senter, then living
at Canemah, started on horseback
for Salem, spreading the news as he
went. Little interest was manifest
ed IN it by the people. But the state
officials, who had already been elect
ed and were waiting to take office,
were greatly elated by the news.
They had been waiting nearly a
year, with many apprehensions as
to the result. Oregon had not pop
ulated to justify her admission in
the union as state. By the next
succeeding census the total was only |

SMALLPOX AT THE ASYLUM.
One Case Develops, But a Spread Is
Not Probable.

Last night a case of smallpox de-
veloped at the state insane asylum.
The afflicted one is a patient from
Yamhill county, George NJ. Alberts,
who was committed on January 9TH
last.
There is no danger Of a spread of
the contagion, as all of the patients
have been vaccinated within the
past few months, and the strictest
measures of quarantine have been
enforced since the first appearance
of the disease in this region six
months ago.
AS yet the sick manllhas aIvery
mild attack, and we are assured
there can be no spread, as imme-
diately upon his illness having taken
its present turn, he was removed to
the asylum pest house. The ward
in which he was confined was at
once fumigated and sealed.
1t is unlikely there Will be an
other case, as all precautions have
been taken, but should any be dis
covered, they will at once be remOv-
ed to the pest house.
We are assured there need be no
cause for alarm, as a general small
pox epidemic cannot run its course
among body of thoroughly vacci-
mated, cleanly, and uuarantined peO-
pie.
AS in all matters of general impor-
tance, the CAPITAL JORNAL will be
found alive to the interests of the
people, and will slft to the bottom
and keep the reader truthfully posted.

The New Game Law.

AS considerable inquiry is being
made in reference to the changes
made by the last legislature in the
game law, applying to deer, we
give the following synopsis: "It is
made a misdemeanor to hunt, kill
or pursue any deer or elk at any
time between the first day of No
vember and the first day of August.
Also to sell or destroy deer or elk
for the purpose of obtaining their
hides, horns or hams. Also every
person shall be guilty of misde-
meanOr, who shall sell or offer for
sale, or transport, or carry for the
purpose of barter Ors sale or exchange,
the hide or skin of deer or elk, or
who shall sell or offer for sale
or have in his possession or buy
or offer to buy any elk or deer
during the time above specified.
Upon prosecution it is made prima
facie evidence of guilt for the ac-
cused to have in his possession any
deer or elk, or their hides, when it
is unlawful to kill the same. The
penalty for violation of the law is
by fine not less than SO nor more
$500, or imprisonment in the county
Jail not less than five day $ nor more
