THE r. G. w. AT SALIVA.
Chas. Rand Mysteriously Dis
appears from the Town,
And His Lifeless Body is Found in the
Creek.

Special to The Dispatch.
SALINA, June 24.-The Rio Grande
Western construction train rolled on
the Salina depot grounds at $3.50 this
afternoon. A large crowd witnessed
the long-looked for advent. Salina is
full of men, representing almost every
grade of society, from the tramp to the
millionaire. We are expecting lively
times in the Immediate future.
Mr.. Fred G.. Wills, president of the
Sallna town Incorporation, received
word by wire that we would have the
standard gauge cars running into Sa-
lima by July 18th. Thy first car of
freight was wool, shipped by Barr &
Co., and left town this evening.
a couple of weeks ago Charles Rand,
and individual of some notoriety
around the saloons, went up Salina
canyon for the purpose of finding EN-
ployment, and as nothing was seen of
him for some days his acquaintance
began to wonder what had become OF
him. Yesterday morning search for
him was instituted, and resulted in
finding his lifeless body in the Salina
creek, about fifteen miles up the can
yon. a coroner's jury was immedi-
ately summoned to the scene of mis-
fortune, where they held an inquest,
and returned a verdict Of accidental
drowning. His remains were inferred
here to-day. The people were horri-
fed to learn of the affair, as many of
them are compelled to use the water
from the creek for culinary purposes.
The first session of the completely
organized town council convened to-
night.

SUTHERLAND IS MISTAKEN,

When Mr., SUTHERLAND remarked
on Wednesday evening that whatever
college professors might say about the
tariff, such and such were the facts, he
threw his cause open to criticism. 1t is
true the college professors and those
who take up this question as science do
almost unanimously conclude that the
so-called protective tariff is wrong. So
do the professors of the sciences of
geometry, and astronomy, and law, and
other sciences come to different conclu-
sions from the cursory observer; but
will any sane man, who knows nothing
or very little about these matters, dis
pute the result of their calculations and
set up his own intuitive judgment
against them? And if he does, will peo-
pie believe him? We don't doubt but
columns of figures can be quoted to
show that certain commodities have
fallen in price while there was a tariff
on their Importation, but it is contrary
to reason to allege that such reduction
was the result of the tariff-else why re-
tain the tariff?-and no one can average
up the whole field without demonstrate
ing absolutely the inequality and in
Justice of the thing.

Frem Thursdays Daily,
REPUBLICANS JUBILATE
And Hold High Carnival in
the Courthouse.
John G. Graham Presides, and Messrs
Sutherland and whitecotton De-
liver Addresses.

The Republicans held mass meet
ing Tin sthe Courthouse last evening
andsswith theSassistance ofEthe Opera
house band succeeded in attracting
fair-sizedshUuse. Before the curtain wa:
rung up for the first act,many of the
most prominent city luminaries of the
party gathered in groups outside of the
building and discussed the situation. A
few stray Liberals had wandered into
the Republican house Of worship, prob
ably attracted there from the fact that
misery loves company.
John G.. Graham acted as chairman
OF the meeting, and prefaced his intro
duction of Mr.. George Sutherland, by
a few remarks.
Mr.. Sutherland started in by saying
that he had always been q consistent
Liberal. but on last Saturday he had
came to the conclusion that Liberal
ism was dead issue a relic of the past.
and he had determined tohenlist under
the Republican banner. The Liberals
had always said that if the Morm0ns
would give up the practice of polygamv
theY (the Liberals) would then extend
the right hand of fellowship. "And |
now extend to them that hand of fell
lowship. As member df the Repub-
lican party will take by the hand a
Mormon, Mohammedan, Jew or Gen
tile" When the leaders of the Mormon
Church had declared that polygamy
should no longer exist, he believed
they meant what they said. and he fell
that the MOrmons were living up to
the law as laid down to them. The
Peoples party has disbanded. and.
therefore, | think that the Liberal par
ty has served its purpose The peo-
pie of Utah did not as yet understand
national politics; it was new thing to
them. They were seeking informa-
ton. and he thought it but right that
they should receive this information.
The speaker then gave an illustration
in which he attempted to show that
when a foreigner pays an exorbitant
tariff tax for the privilege of selling the
certain goods, the consumer
is benefited by this extra tax. The tar
if is the live issue; all others are dead
Democrats claimed that an excessive
tariff tended to the formation Of
trusts. There is really only one
trust in this country-the Standard
vi COmpdny-dnu IL mas reduced Un6
price of coal OIL" The people are
for light and desire to learn
the principles Of the two parties. Il
do not wish to appeal to the pas
sions or prejudices of the people"
The speaker closed by asking all the
young men 10 investigate the claims
IF both parties. IF you are convinc-
ed that the Democrats are in the right
Join hand in hand with them. But |
would be better satisfied if you would
Join the Republican party"

OF THE 81 600, 1000 amounting to

and child in the United States) ex-
pended by the late lamented Congress,
how much did Utah get? According to
population she was entitled to 49,
100000, but our representative in Con-
gress would not be allowed even to ask
for an appropriation for public build
ing for the Territory, although our APP
preparation for the one year alone should
have been nearly seven times the
amount asked for, to say nothing OF the
millions we have paid in tariff in the
years gone by. And so it will always
be- When there are millions to be ex-
pended, favored spots will get the

must be satisfied with the sour milk.

LEHI does not want TO have such a
siege of these caterpillars as we have
just passed through again. Now is the
time to go to work to stop further raw
ages from these pests. They are now
spinning their cocoons, and will before
long hatch out as moths and lay their
eggs. These white cOcoons can be
found readily on the trees, fences, and
in fact in nearly every corner, and
should now be gathered and DESTROYED
before they have time to become moths.
If parents would have their children
gather these and destroy them we
would soon be rid of their ravages.

Hon. VIM. II. King took the floor
and made ringing appeal for the co
operation of all true Democrats in
supporting THE MORNING DISPATCH.
1t was hazardous undertaking, but it
was something badly needed. and he
doubted not but what the members of
the Democratic party in Utah county
would extend to it the hand of patron
age. There was more stock to be sold,
and those who were able should invest
in it. 1t is true, it might not pay
a dividend at the first, but
then what was a mere dividend
compared TO good, stauncb, fearless
Democratic paper.
A. l.. Booth supported Mr.. King in
his remarks asking the cooperation of
every Democrat in helping onward the
success of THE DISPATCH. So far as
dividends were concerned, he consid-
cred he would have a dividend from
the start in the shape of spicy news
paper for breakfast, containing all the
Geographic news. He considered every
Democrat should take THE MORNING
DISPATCH; if they could not afford
this. then they should at least see that
they had the semi-weekly.
The chairman requested the several
Democratic clubs and organizations
throughout the county to furnish THE
MORNING DISPATCH complete lists of
membership of their respective organi-
cations on Saturday, IN time for Sun
day mornings paper, together with
the officers over each club.

THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS.



SALT LAKE, Utah, Sept 15.-The irrigation
congress chilled TO order at 1880 today.
About $50 delegates present Governor
Thomas, on behalf OF Utah, welcomed the dele
gates in a somewhat extensive speech, in which
he refsrrei 10 the faet that the NJ, rnon .ettlcrs
settlers in 1917 had begun the first system OF
irrigation in the West That act had laid the
foundation FOR the prosperity of Utah and other
Western 81 tes and territories. This, coupled
with the fact that salt Lake City is tn center of
great arid region of the United States, made this
city place where the body should inset. The
speaker referred 70 the ceding of the arid lands
to the states and territories. and congress
would doubtless consider the question, il
would be We'll to consider the best m sans to be
adopted in presenting the measure to congress
and the most expedient suggestions to Offer to
that body when the plan had ben perfected.
This cCSgr@-s, he thought, would be great ed
ueatng meeting. Few people in the East have
any idea OF the PHYSICAL condition
of the West, and this would en-
tighten them to great extent.
TIE tide of emigration which has been drifting
westward has now turned and is going east.
The great arid regions of the United States are
being settled on, and the question is: How
shall we make the lands habitablc? He spoke
OF reserying the great grazing ranges, and sad
theee should be sold in tsacts of limited "a,
under the guarded provisions OF the law. The
area of Utah under cultivation Is 2,9}i091 acres
about 4 per cent of the 81 60l,e90. ASout
5,00e 900 cannot b. used, and only portion of it
