1t was learned last night through a
private source that company Il Of Green
River would not be able to attend the en-
campment of the state militia.
Capt. Ed. llorrie says that the mem
bers of the company find that they can
not possibly leave their employment to
attend the. e%ncampment. Gen. Stitzer
telegraphed Capt. Horrie to make every
endeavor to bring as many men as he
could but received no reply last night.
1t is too bad the company cannot take
part 10 the encampment as they are un-
derstood to be one of the best drilled
companies in the regiment.

submit a proposition for the use of the
viAduet by the company.
Mr.. Bond moved hat the car company
be allowed to run cars over the viaduct
provided that the company present a
proposition to the city at the next meet
ing.
The mayor declared the motion out OF
order as there was an ordinance which
provides how and when the cars shall
cross and until the said ordinance has
been amended or annulled he could not
allow the cars to cross!
The ordinance was read and the opinion
Of the city attorney was asked if the mo-
ton would have the effect of conflicting
with the ordinance. He replied that the
ordinance was merely a contract between
the city and the company, and he thought
no harm would result from the motion.
Mr.. Bond again made the motion and
upon being ruled out OF order appealed
from the decision of the chair. The ap-
peal was sustained and the motion passed.
Gen. Thompson made a stirring appeal
to the Justice of the council, and asked
them on Mag Henne's behalf to permit
the erection OF the house on Sixteenth
street that has been before the council for
action so long. The petition on the gen.
erals appeal was referred to the police
committee.
ROUTINE WORK.
The communication the mayor had sent
to the council at last meeting regarding
the water system, which was ignored, was
on motion of Mr.. Robins, called up and
referred to the water committee.
Mr.. jerks of the water committee
moved that bids for the laying OF the
pipe for the extension of the water sys-
tenn be advertised TOR in the official city
paper for the period Of ten days.
Adopted.
The bids for the construction of the
sidewalk, $500 feet, along O'Neil street,
| we're opened and were as follows:
II. Belcher, per 30c
s. j. Barnard, per foot.................47c
Grimes x Corners. per foot............40c
Geo. East, per foot........-.............42c
As Mr.. Belcher's bid was the lowest he
was awarded the contract.
A large batch of bills were passed by the
council.
The mayor announced that he had
approved and signed the ordinance
making the appropriations for the year
and also that which regulated the tax
levy.
A resolution, as a matter of form, e
ing Central avenue was read and
adopted.
A report from the street and alley COM
mittee suggesting the opening of the
viaduct was read and accepted. A reso
luton formally accepting and opening
the viaduct was also accepted.
A bill for an ordinance regulating street
grades in different parts OF the city was
read and approved.
NEW PARK.
Mr.. Bond introduced an ordinance ap-
propriating several blocks of land adjoin-
ing lake Minnehaha to use as a park.
The land mentioned Is to be, together
with the land now covered as a lake, al
ways used as a park and to be known as
Lake Minnehaha Park. He thought
that as the land now belongs to the city
and is bringing in no revenue that it
would be put to the best possible use if
applied to the purpose mentioned. The
council then adjourned.

The same old spiteful spirit that has

of wearing itself out with time as ex.

in youthful vigor, with a chip on its
shoulder.

ROCK SPRINGS NOTES.



One Of the heaviest real estate deals
that has taken place in Rock Springs for
some time wa contaminated on Thurs
day. The Commercial hotel was sold,
passing from the hands of L. p. Phil
brick to the purchaser, Griff w. Edwards.
The sum paid was 81, 600, 50. 100 cash
and the house known as the Harcombe
house on G street, valued at 81, 500. The
management Of the hotel will remain un-
changed.
Prospects are Frightening every day and
the confidence OF our citizens Is re-
turning. All the Union Pacific mines
are running regularly, and the private
companies are shipping a good deal OF
coal. On Monday No. I starts up with a
full force of workers. The management
of the marketable coal has five agents
constantly on the road soliciting orders,
and it looks very much as if the shipments
for 1891 90 will beat all previous records.
