The Irrigation Oongrsss-Wigeius 6till
Trying to Boom Things.
A letter has been received from Capt.
Thomas B. Merry, who represented this
section at the Irrigation congress at
Salina, Kansas, stating that the conven-
tion has adjourned. He adds that the
merchants of that place displayed but
Indifferent interest in the affair. Out
OF appointed representatives to the
number OF 403 but few over 100 were In
attendance. This body was cons posed
of old men and some young and pro-
gressive fellows between 30 and Az years
OF age. As result a number OF spir.
tied speeches were made, and clear and
we'll defined discussions held.
The congress at Salina appointed IL
delegates to the congress in this city,
but CAPTAIN Merry states that he thinks
but only four out OF this number Will be
in attendance. Among these will be
Judge Gregory, who is prominent
citizen of Kansas, and has been identi-
fed with the progress OF that state.
Three delegates have also been appoint
ed by the state, independent OF those
by the Salina congress. The finances OF
Kansas are very depressed and the rep
resentation to the congress will, there
fore, be decidedly limited. AT the con-
clusion of the congress at Sallna the
delegates were taken to the irrlgatlon
colony at Garden City, Kansas. While
it has not accomplished anything like
this section, it's productions OF corn,
pumpkins, sweet potatoes and Lima
beans are exceptionally fine.

cago that there still remains $4,000
COPIES of the Land OF sunshine, the
pamphlet descriptive OF Southern Cali
fornia recently issued by the bureau OF
information. At the present rate OF dis
tribution, however, he adds, that the
supply will Just about last until the
close OF the lair.
He suggests that this county make a
special citrus display at the midwinter
fair something on the order OF The wal
nut tower and the palace of plenty now
at the worlds fair, being very elective.
Some sweet potatoes should also be
included in the next shipment to Chi
cago from this county, as the exhibit as
yet received no eaccarine spude.
AS was predic ed by the HERALD, the
advent OF that 314.pound pumpkin at
the worlds fair aroused all of the sec
tional pride not only within Mr.. Frank
Wigsin's breast but distributed through
out his entire body. The arrival of the
Ala pound pumpkin from Canada put
quietus upon him for short time.
However, council was called and 1t was
decided to beat the Canadian blue rib
bon taker at all hazards. AS result,
the next day the California pumpkin
WAS labeled as weighing 400 pounds and
man placed in charge OF it.
Mr.. Wigains closes with: "All OF the
people are in fairly good health, though
nearly frozen to death. An invoice of
California climate and few yarn stock
ings would be acceptable"

JAY HAWKER FIGURE HEADS,
They Want S3,5O0,OOO for the
Water Plant.
The Price Asked by the Mysterious
Eastern Financiers.
Result of the Conference Between
the Water Committee and
Messrs. Pierce and
Shaffer.

Three million, Eve hundred thousand
dolIarsl That is the price asked by
Messrs. Pierce and Shaffer for the entire
plant of the City Water company.
Whether the city will jump at the
price remains to be seen. No action has
yet been taken by the water committee
looking toward the acceptance of the
offer.
For over a week the water committee,
son and Campbell, have held confer
ences with the eastern gentlemen rela-
tive to the possible purchase of the
plant.
A meeting was held Wednesday and
TWO more yesterday. Although the
matter has not been as thoroughly dis
cussed between the representatives of
the city and the company as it will be,
still it is thought that enough has been
done to warrant the statement that the
price is not satisfactory.
The members of the committee, when
questioned on the matter, stated that as
no transaction has been made and as
they are uncertain as to what will be
done, it would be impossible TO make
any public statement. They hoped that
some decision would be reached, but
thought no report will be formulated be-
lore the next meeting OF the council.
Some members OF the council were
surprised on hearing the amount of the
price asked by the gentlemen for the
plant. While the city should own the
water works, they were not inclined to
favor the expenditure of three million
and hall dollars.
Public sentiment undoubtedly favors
the proposition OF purchasing the
works." said "a gentleman yesterday,
but whether the price'named would be
acceptable could only be decided by the
election to vote the bonds. In my mind
the question is vital one, involving, as
it does, an immense eum."
The price given includes everything
belonging TO the City Water company.
This of course takes in all the water
companies and their appurtenances,
real estate, buildings, pipe lines, etc.
The company when purchased by
Messrs. Pierce and Shaffer had, it is
said, bonded indebtedness of $500, 900.
1t is understood that the gentlemen
of the water committee received only a
partial statement OF the properties be-
longing to the company, though full
inventory will be made out shortly.
The owners claim that the annual in
come OF over $500. 900 year is sufficient
to pay interest and sinking fund and
for the maintainence of the works.
They also claim to have an additional
tract OF land north of the city, though
value and location are unknown.
Some time ago the city engineer pre-
pared plans of new water works for the
city, the cost OF which is eaid to have
been about IS 600 eco The difference
between the old plant and new one is
no email sum. but OF course the adves-
bility OF purchasing the plant already
established far exceeds the construction
OF a new one.
TO put the situation in word, it ia
not likely the water committee will
readily accept the price asked.
The city wants the water works, but
the question, does 1t want it to the ex-
tent of SY 300 O0O7

The question is where does the fault
lie, but as come new blocks have euf-
fered similar experience, already neces-
sitating retouching of the brick work
it seems that some brick made in this
locality has an alkali substance causing
the premature look Of long age. What

WILL SHORTLY RESUME.

The smelter to be Pushed to an Early
Completion. .earal
From reliable source it is learned
that work will be resumed on the
Southern California Refining and Smelt-
ing company's works, perhaps today.
This will be good news for the mine
owners in Southern California no have
long awaited the completion OF the
smelter.
Active work has been delayed for
several weeks, owing, perhaps, to the
action OF congress on the silver question.
Full instructions are expected shortly
from the owners in New York, when
work will be reeumed and the smelter
pushed to an early completion.
1t is expected that the company will
be receiving ore before another month.

QUEEN vIcToR1A's BIRTHDAY.

Celebrated With a Great Party at the
British Embassy at Washington.
WASHINGTON, May 24.-At 1:2O O'Clock
the Infanta Eulalie and suite were driven
to the British embassy where one of the
most elaborate social functions of this
season took place. The event was the
celebration of the seventy-fourth ami
versary Of Queen Victoria's birthday.
The handsome building was made a
bower Of beauty at the hands OF the deco
rators. The ball room presented con-
trast by reason of the lack of plants, only
various national centers and few vines
constituted the decorations.
About ten O'Clock guests began to ar
rive at the EN- bassy and soon continuous
line Of carriages bringing mem bers of the
cabinet, Supreme court, senator's, rep
corps, government officials, army and
navy officers and others in society ac-
companied by their wives and friends.
Music in the ball room began shorty
after ten O'Clock and dancing continued
till late hour. On tabIein the general
dining room all the delicacies of the sea-
son were spread and the guests repeatedly
drank to the queen heath.
At IL 80 O'Clock the il 4at /, on the arm

THE UTAH COMMISSION.
But One Change Only Is Prob.
able at the Present.
AFTER POSTMASTER NASH.
1t Is Said His Removal Win Be an
Easy Matter.
he Was Appointed Through a Politica
Trick and if Proper Charges are
Filed Against Him He Will
slip Down and Out.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-[Special.l !
From best information obtainable the
president viii make a change in the Utah
commission in a few days, but is inclined
10 appoint at present only one Democrat,
thus giving the party control. 1t has
been suggested that full reorganization
take place, but the President is so con-
sentative, it is thought he viii go slow
and be satisfied to merely give the Demo-
Gratis control.
Secretary Smith is so favorably inclined
to Colonel Lett, that the report is that he
wants him to head the commission. So
much secrecy is maintained that it is
almost impossible to ascertain who will
be appointed. Outside Democrats have
taken an interest in the matter and what
ever Is done, viii be with a view of secur-
Ing Democratic ascendency when Utah is
admitted.
Both the president and Secretary Smith
are said to appreciate the necessity of
Standing by the regular Democracy. and
the Tuscaroras of the so-called Liberals
are in poor favor here. They realize that
to perpetuate Democracy and make a
solid party "ISickersD and 'tsore heads"
must be ignored.
Information here is that if Salt Lake
Democrats will proceed properly it will
be an easy matter to remove Postmaster
Nash in the near future. 1t was politi-
cal trick through which he was appointed
and the fa@ that he aided partisan Re-
publicans in circulating injurious docu
ments in the last campaign is cause
enough for change if proper
charges are filed against him.
In other parts of the country Republic
can postmasters are being removed and
this tip ought to be sufficient to start
a movement in Salt Lake and other Utah
cities. The administration will move if
backed up by local Democratic sentiment.
There is no doubt about this.
Joseph Jonson was today appointed
postmaster at Oakfeld, Ida., vice Michael
Byrnes, resigned.

'7HE VHITB CITY BOOMING.
Three Quarters of a Million Peo-
pie Have Paid Admission.
SUNDAY OPENING MATTER.
An Effort Made to Bring the Question
Up Again.
A Heated Discussion Takes Place and the
Subject Made Special Order for
Today-First Foreign Ex-
cursion Arrives.

CHICAGO. May 24.-People outside Chi
cago are apparently beginning to realize
that the Worlds fair is really open, and
business at the ticket Office is beginning
to fairly boom. Hotel proprietors too are
realizing the fact as their rooms are rap
idly filing up. Since the opening day
nearly three-quarters of a million people
have paid for admission to the white city,
and the attendance seems on a steady in
crease. The first OF the European excur-
sions to the fair arrived today, one French
and one German party, and the managers
say more will come each week.
An effort was made at the meeting of
the national commission today to have
the Sunday opening question brought up
again. Commissioner Hundley claimed
that when the commission substituted
the minority report of the judiciary COM
mittee for the majority report, and then
declined to adopt the recommendation of
the minority report for certain amend
ments to the directory's Sunday opening
rule, the majority report must come up for
action. A heated discussion followed and
the matter was made the special order for
tomorrow. Immediately on assembling
OF the national Worlds fair commits
Delaware, rendered his resignation as a
member of the judiciary committee. The
cause of the resignation was the reiec-
ton of the majority report of
the committee on Sunday closing
by the national commission yester-
day. After long discussion the
commission postponed action on Massey's
resignation till tomorrow.
Aside from the British and Canadian
celebration of Queen Victoria's birthday,
the center of attraction seemed to be the
German government building and the
German exhibit in the manufacturers
building.
The British flag was displayed with
more than usual prominence today on
the British, Canadian and Indian build
ings in honor OF Queen Victoria's birth
day. The occasion was celebrated farther
this evening with a banquet at the Vir-
ginia hotel.
The day was bright and beautiful, all
that could be wished by visitors, and
large number took advantage OF it to en-
ter in through the gates into the white
city. One of the features of the day was
the dedication of the Maine state build
ing. Hon. II. G. Burleigh, president of
the Maine board of managers, made an
address, delivering the building to the
state, and Governor Cleaves accepted it,
in turn dedicating it to the uses of the
people.
