Institution of Conemaugh valley Lodge No.

$50, Sexennial League.
Last evening at the q. A. r., Hall Oh
Main street, the new lodge of the Sexen-
NAL League which will be known as Con.
emaugh Valley Lodge No. 13O, was for
mally instituted by Deputy Supreme Pres
ldent Clifford j. Ellis. The hall was
crowded with charter members of the new
lodge and members of Johnstown Lodge
No, 63.
After the candidates had been initiated
the following officers were elected and
duly installed Past President, Chas. Ii.
Alter; President, Thos. p. Keedy; Vice
President, f. S. Wylie; Secretary, S. r.
Schaeffer; Treasurer Chas. Brixner
Marshal, Henry w. Fox; Chaplain,
Frank B. Statler; Guard, Robert p. Lin
ton; Sentinel, r. j. Hutchinson; Medical
Examiner, DIR. j. w. Hamer; Trustees,
Jas. H. Ramsey, c. A. Frank, Chas.
Simon.
The lodge starts off with good sized
member list and is composed of men who
are known for their ability in lodge work
so that its success is fully assured in ad-
vance. In fact from the enthusiasm
the meeting it now looks as if the new
lodge may push ahead and soon leave her
older sister lodge, (Johnstown No. 63,) in
the shade.
Under the good of the order several
speeches were made giving encourage
ment to the work and were well received
by the members. Considering the stormy
night the large and enthusiastic turnout
is especially pleasing to every Sexennian

learn that His Honor, the Mayor, has
served notice upon the members of
Council that special meeting will be held
on Wednesday evening to confe" with the
Finance Committee upon matters Of vital
interest relating to the welfare OF the
town. Now do not care to discuss here
the utility of the measures proposed in
conference between Councils and the
Finance Committee, but ] would like to
know by what right the Finance Com-
mittee exercises so much authority. This
committee has received hundreds of
thousands of dollars that were contrib
uted by the charitable everYwheresfor the
relief Of the sufferers. Why does it not
pay out the money to the people, and
make statement of its affairs This is
its plain duty, and the members of the
Committee should be strictly called to ac-
count for the violation of the trusts re-
posed IN them. But in addition to sub
mitting to Injustice at the hands of this
COmmitte, the people of this city must
also suffer further indignities by having
this Committee dictate their business and
control public affairs. Is it not burning
shame that the people thus tamely submit
to this kind of power? TAX PAYER.

THE UTAH AND IDAHO r. &.

Salt Lakers OrgAniziag to Build II.
Salt Lake Tribune. assh.l
The favorable showing presented
hv the Utah and Idaho Railway has
induced . number OF capitalists and
business men OF this city to take hold
OF this enterprise. and they propose to
do this very vigorously. Its generally
regarded - even better than the
Deep Creek road for Salt Lake City,
because Of the fine timber and large
mining districts which it will tap.
Articles Of incorporation will be pre-.
pared to-day and steps taken At once
10 crystalline the enterprise Into such
form as will insure the early cons,ruc.
ton Of the road. In this connection
it is proper for the writer of this to
add to what Major Wilkes said in his
statements OF the country. He de.
scribed partly the route and character
OF the country to where the road will
cross tho Sawtooth range from the
Boise country to the Salmon river
country and there his report ends. 1t
was proper for Majr Wilkes to stop
At that point since he had not been
beyond that part Of the country. only
having been over the country through
which the road will run. Beyond the
Sawtooth there is . country which
will assonish people when it is brough,
within railway communication. The
Sheep Mountain and Seafoam mining
districts lie northwest of the head OF
Salmon river, the point where the
rad crosses the Sawtooth. These
districts contain great lodes Of low.
grade silver ores, chiefly galena and
carbonates, with some good silver
milling ores. There are many located
claims, but only little work has been
done on them because of the localities
being so far from cheap transporta
ton. The districts are reached by
trails through the hills and densely
timbcred country. That timber is o.
the same character as that spoken O
in Major Wilkes report. From tn,
point to which he outlined the roat
to these districts is probably six,,
miles and this is not a difficult coun
try to construct a railroad in. There
is an immense country in that portion
Of Idaho, extending from Wood Rive,
over to the Clearwater, which is mol
much prospec,ed because Of tie dense
timber, and it is a very hopeful field
for future development

provides that the county clerk shall
call upon two county indges or two
justices of the peace of his county who
have been legally elected and qualified
TO canvass the vote and certify to the

tended that as the county clerk had
caused all three of the county judges TO

law had not been complied with. The

that although the votes had been
