An Unhecded Warning.
Bear.

There yet remain in the United
States but two great game preserves
wide sections Of country, rough noun
tains, broad tablelands and forests al
most impenetrable, where the native
denizens of a century ago still range
without fear of the hunters rifle. The
enterprise Of spOrtsmen and the cupid
ity of pot hunters have in great
measure pursued to the death the small
game of the country Coupled with the
march of civilization and the vigorous
pursuit of the larger animals of the
wilderness they have been driven to
the deeper and more inaccessible re-
treats, until the remnant OF the many
monsters which once roamed the plains
and inhabited the wilds are found in
the Olympia mountains in western
Washington and the Sawtooth noun
tains in northern Idaho, says the San
Francisco Call.
These Idaho mountains are in reality
a spur of the great range of the
Rockies, which extend like vast but
tresses across the entire middle west
ern front of the United States In
many places the Sawtooth range is in
expressibly rugged and there are
stretches and depths which have never
been explored by any human being.
In these vast wilds are to be found the
most dangerous animal Of which there
is any record in this country, an ami
NAL which as far outranl1s the dreaded
grizzly as that monarch does the COM
paratively little brown bear, whose
chief mission is to frighten children in
doors after dark and catch an OCCASION
al straying shoat. This animal is the
bald-faced bear. He is emphatically q
royal edition of the grizzly, has all the
tenacity of life and is not only abso-
lutely fearless, but persistontly aggres-
Sive.
The "bald-face'' owes his distinctive
title to face which is white. He is
larger than the grizzly. Beginning
above his eyes several inches, the dark
color of his body fades into a dirty
gray, thence down to the point of his
nose and on either side it becomes a pure
white. Hence the name 'bald-face."
The grizzly will never run from man.
It will move on it's course frequently
after it sights him; when wounded it
will pursue the hunter for a reasonable
distance, and when bodily hurt it some
times gives up the fray and beats re-
treat. Herein lies the dangerous diff
ference between the two species.

Ex-Governor Evans Of Colorado is
somewhat of railroad builder himself,
and he it is who is pushing forward the
project known as the Denver, salt Lake
& san Francisco Railroad company.
This is the scheme formerly mentioned
by the sundard as having the sanction of
the Deyenr Chamber OF Commerce and
being bcked by number of Dcnvcrs S
multi-millionaires, which in its corse is
to tap country of wounderfl natural
resources in Colorado and Vtah, before
reaching Ogden. 1t is rllegep that the
proj5cors of the new road have arranged
for all the money needed to assure the
success of the enterprise, notwithstanding
the hard times and ti5htness Of the
money maket. It's surmised that either
the Burlington or the Rock Island, or
both of them, ara bcking Governor
Evans project, but this this is not kwoon.
If they are, then there can be no doubt
that the road will be built as projected
of Commerce has offered the new
company sympathy and material
assistance. As an evidance othe good
will of our own peoplet the Ogden
Chamber of Commerce should follow suit
and thus encourage the gentleman who
are engaged i'll a great and worthy
enterprise.
Every new railroad which is pojected
to cross the continent on the middle
rout must necessarily cmoe to Ogden's
prestige as a gret railroad terminal and
center. The Northwestern will soon be
hera, and once here it will be many years
before it reaches out westward from
Ogded, if, ideed. it ever does. Ogden
is very likely to be the permanent West.
ern terminus of the Great Northwestern
system.
The San Francisco & Ogden railroad
project is not an ideal dream by any
means, but will be sure to materilize as
glorious reality as soon as the monetary
question has assumed brighter aspect
This road, it vii be remembered, will
run directly west from Ogden, crossing
Grerat Salt Lake on piles, and will form
almost an air line from this city to
San Fancisco.
Meeker people are greatly elated
over the fact that the Denver, Salt Lake
| & Pacific railroad is almost sure to be
ago. Meeker is on the line of the
proposed road and if the peoqle's hopes
are realized, it Will be one of the best
town in the western portion of the
state. 1t is surrounded by rich farm
ing and stock country and Hit neebs is

to market for there produce.

Coming to the Front.

There seems TO be a rivalry between
William II. Clark and Henry J. Hay as
to which one is the best in pleading be-
fore justice. Up to date neither has
lost case, although they have had full
tledged lawyers opposing them. Aftel
hearing both on divers occasions we
were able to decide which of the two
we would employ should we ever need
counsel in a justice court, and the
surveyor would have received our
retainer. In future, however, the treas
urer Will get our stuff" the'll get it
sooner or later in taxes anyhow, and
the whyforeness Of our change is easily
explained.
On Monday. in Justice Burnham g
court James Veitch had Tor thought he
had case against Young man for Il
weeks board. The y. II. was just re.
covering from mountain fever, and Mr.
Hay generously took his case. When
the proper time arrived the attorney
for the defendant rose to several
points of order, and moved that his
client be discharged, assigning the fol
lowing reasons:
First-That the plaintiff did secure
and appropriate the services of the de-
fendant for and during the 10th, 18th,
18th, 10th, 20th, 2lst, 22d and 23d days
Of June, 1898, to do several and divers
errands and work for plaintiff for which
services the plaintiff owed and still
owes to defendant the sum of Sl2 in ad-
dition to his board;
Sec1nd-lhat the plaintiff was him
self guilty Of false pretenses when he
represented or implied that the food
which lie served to defendant was cal
culated to properly sustain life in the
human body;
Third-That if itwore true as charged
in the complaint that defendant did
eat certain meals with malicious and
feIonious intent, then this defendant
should 60 free under that clause of the
constitution which says that a man
shall not he punished twice for the
same oilsnse-the defendant having al.
ready suffered severely from indigestion
caused by the improperly cooked food
which plaintiff furnished defendant;
FOurth-If the complaint were true
rs charged, the defendant is not respon.
slble, as the eating Of a few such meals
us were furnished by plaiutitf to de-
fendant would, in the ordinary course
Of nature, imbue the most amiable OF
men with wicked and malignant
heart
Fif;h-Dcfendant did not eat plain
tiG's goods with "felonious intent or
malice aforethought," but on the CON
trary did eat the same in a spirit of
charity and with the welfare of the
other guests at heart.
Justice Burnham decided the points
well taken and dismissed the suit.
Clark pitted against each other; wen
90 two to one on the former.

The newly welded couple boarded
the train at village station and a
crowd of about 100 people saw them of,
says an exchange. The groom was a
strapping young fellow, with sunburned
face and hands and bears grease on his
hair, while the bride might have been
the "hired gal' on the same farm.
They had no sooner taken a seat than
he put his arm around her waist and
began to caress one of her hands. y
voice in the rear of them cried out
spoons but the bridegroom gave no
sign. Pretty soon he pulled her head
over on his shoulder and there was a
litter from the rear of the car.
The head stayed right there, however,
and Josh got both her hands in his one
paw. Three or four voices cried out
"Oh - and "Ah y but it was fully two

Ever since Carlisle took charge

quietly working to put stop to the
wholesale smuggling of Chinese and
opium ~ ",si' eeg:geJ sound. Reports
from two trusted men sent to inves-

duty 1t was to prevent such smuggling
were in league with the smuggers. He
removed Il nmber of these men and
appointed their SUCCESSORS, but did not
make either heremoyals or the appoint
ments public until this week, becaus of
his desire to secure the necessary evil
dence TO criminally prosecute the crooked
eX-oiiicials. Large fortunes are said to
have been made by the smgglers in the

to see that no more are made while he
