tory give promise of great development
and usefulness.
"Tbe amount of Territorial and dis.
trict school.tax levies for the benefit Of
the common free schools for the year
1901 amounted to S6iS,6S5,2L
BESIDES the common schools, Utah
has It's due proportion Of private,
church, and dcnominational Schools.
"In his report for 1892 the COM
missioner of schools for Uiali says: In
my last annual report the number of
children of school age in the Territory
was given at 10000, OF which Ssou
were Of Mormon Darentage and f7,96s
were OF non. Mormon parentage. Ac.
cording 10 the present report. the total
number of children OF school age in the
Territory Is 1850, Of which s5,sJa arc

increase in one year OF the children Of

age to be o. AZ per cent. The schedule
Exhibit Al OF school population shows
that there are 1904 children Of school
age in the Territory who attend no
school. The report for the preceding
year tiSgIl showed 1909 It will
therefore be noticed that, while the
number of children oil school age is
rapidly increasing, the number OF those
who attend no school Is decreasing"
A table, showing that the total amount
invested in the educational establish.
ment OF Utah is si,4ST,965.s9 and the
general distribution ol the schools
throughout the Territory, Is from the
report of the commissioner Of schools
for 1907. The remainder OF the com.
mittee's statement is as follows:
SONY about per cent of the people
of Utah are illiterate, and this fact,
considered in connection with the
educational facilities OF the Territory and
the ambitious character OF the people,
Is ample assurance OF one Of the most
essential characteristics Of good citizen.
ship. But the aim OF education in Utah
Is not merely to reduce the number of
those who are technically denominated
illitera,es, but to give to the pupils the
same training and learning that may be
had in the best schools OF the East, and
therefore the course OF study includes
not only the usual and ordinary branches.
but extends to the higher studies which
are taught in the schools Of the older
communities.
Utah has not been unmindhl Of the
more unfortunate class OF its citizens. Il
has established at Provo large and
well equipped asylum for the insane, and
at Ogden n reform school provided with
all the necessary means for educating
and instructing In some industrial pur-
suit such boys and girls as have no
parents or homes aud those who can
not be controlled by home influences.
THE ENABLING ACT.
"The bill provides an enabling act
for the people Of Utah Territory and the
terms upon which the constitutional
convention will be held and the con-
stitu;ion framed and submitted to the
people for their ratification or rejection.
The enabling act submitted is almost
literally copy Of that passed at the
last session OF Congress by this House

Ak EXCURSION STEAMER AGROUND.

AN EXCURSION STEAMER AGROUND.
The steamer Louise, with the John s.
Barbour Democratic Club from Nor
folk and other excursionists to the
number of 500 on board for the inaugu-
ration, went ashore off the Wolf Trap
about o'clock Friday night. Soon
after daylight she got off and was about
to proceed to Washington when she
was ordered back by the charter par
ty and arrived in Norfolk just before
o o'clock Saturday morning. The snow
and wind and rain made the night very
uncomfortable and nobody on board
could sleep, as the boat apparently
pounded on the bank all night. The
Louise was libeled by deputy Z. S.
marshal soon after her arrival in Nor
folk, but was shortly after released, the
owners refunding to the club the 81 $50
charter money and $3.50 expenses. 1t
is stated that had the Louise remained
on the bank an hour longer she would
have gone to pieces.

Saturday night Dick Bill Bird and
Solomon Blue, two Red Lake Indians,
were at the Commercial Hotel, at
Fosston, MINI. The frequency with
which the pair appeared as witnesses
in Indian liquor cases has brought on
them the enmity ola large number of
people and about 10 O'Clock a mob of
about 200 was formed and proceeded to
the Commercial Hotel. Theproprietor
had the doors barred when the mob
arrived. They demanded entrance,
which was refused, whercnpon they
battered in the doors, dragged the men
from bed and both were treated to q
coat of tar aud feathers and made to
run the gauntlet of one hundred men
rcccivings kicks and bruises. An eff
fort to lynch them vas suppressed.
