Treasurer Duke Declines to
Honor an Order.
1T WAS FOR A SEWER FUND
A CONTEST LIKELY OVER THE,
WATER RATES.
The Chimes at the Joint Building
Tested-HIonthIy Report of the
Health Department-The Munici-
pal Ghost Walked Yesterday
Signed the Appropriation List.

Several of the members of the city
council were greatly surprised yesterday
to lind that the hand they placed in the
city treasury for the purpose of securing

came back to them as empty as it went
forth. The reason for the lack. of cash
was the refusal of the treasurer to hon
or such an order-one which nearly all
the councilmen now admit was Illegal
Illegal for the reason that in order to
order any of the municipal surplus paid
into certain funds or paid to certain per-
sons it must be for work already done
and not for the purpose of securing the
payment of debts which have not been
created. The idea was perfectly proper.
in the opinion of the majority of the
citizens of the city. for the completion of
the gravity sewer must now be insured.
put II Is said by some of the brightest
legal lights in the city that the method
was out of the question-there was no
debt and it would hardly be proper to
secure the payment of certain claims and
allow the regular expenses of the CITY
and the payment of other contractors
take their chances
When questioned regarding the matter
yesterday Urea Surer Duke said that as
soon as the council made an appropria-
ton he would hold the money ready for
the payment of the auditors warrant for
the amount. Unless such a course was
pursued, however, he could see no reason
why he should set any money aside
One of the members of the council who
voted for the resolution on Tuesday night
stated yesterday that while he was of
the opinion that the action was without
force it would create a moral obligation
in the minds of members and probably
prevent them from eXhausting the treas
ury without making any provision for
the completion of the sewer
Meanwhile the contractors on the sewer
are not making very fast time with the
completion of the work. For weeks they
have been very anxious to secure the
ground south OF South Temple and yet
now that the necessary permission has
been granted and the stakes for the
grade lines have been set since Monday
they have grown rather lukewarm and
contented themselves with excayat1ng
less than half block on Fourth West
street. They have not forces enough on
the work to ensure the completion of
the system within the specified time.

he way they answered my truthful

the way they answered my truthful
statements about the wool market.
at is a fact beyond cavil that wool
In the grease on free stock has advanc-
ed from one to three cents a pound in
the past seventy days, and that this
advance applies to the territory wool
of Idaho, Oregon, Montana, Nevada
and Utah. 1t Is also a fact that one of
the largest American buyers recently
stiff prices following close on the heels
of a purchase by him of 5000 bales of
Australian wool.
Millions of dollars are being expend-
ed by eastern manufacturers for new
machinery for the manufacture of an
elegant line of fabrics. The trade feels
safe because wool long ago reached
bottom prices and because the tariff
has been adjusted satisfactorily. In
spite of big advances in foreign woods
of all grades, the advance in the price
of American grades has outstripped
the bulge in the markets abroad.
1.-The signs are now that American
manufacturers will hereafter produce
a firmer grade of goods than ever be-
fore, because they can get the fine
foreign wool necessary in the manu-
facture of the best goods at-low prices.
The high tariff enabled manufacturers
to force the people to pay unreason-
able rates for their products. Every
wideawake wool man sees thatthe out
look for business is good. We will have
larger sales at smaller profits, but the
volume of business will be so greatly
increased that the total earnings to the
manufacturer will be greater than
heretofore, while competition will
bring down the cost of clothing to the
consumers

VIII Contest water Rates.

1t is more than likely that the recent
action of the city council in RELOCATING
to the background the measure which
exempted the various schools and
churches from water taxation, will be
tested in the courts, the claim being that
it is beyond the power of the city to
compel these various institutions to pay
special taxes of any kind, that exemption
being made by the legislature.
Deputy Assessor and Collector of Water
Rates Diehl yesterday completed the as
sessment of the schools of the city and
found that should the resolution provid-
ing for the collection of the tax be en-
forced, the board of education would be
compelled to pay in the neighborhood of
5000 for water taxes alone. while the
University Of Utah would be MIXED to
the tune of $500. These amounts are but
examples of what the resolution pro
vides for and should the city attempt to
enforce it the probabilities are that war
would be declared

PROTECTION IN PRODUCTS, FREE

They tell you that by the passage of
this bill the American workman will be
brought into competition with the Euro
pean pauper why the American laborer
has been in competition with the foreign
er ever since the Republican protection
was adopted. Mr.. Frick, of the Carne-
gle company, testified that of $500 en-
ployees only 500 were citizens, of which
one-half were naturalized The census
taker at Mount Carmel in his report says
that he travelled three days in his dis
trict and did not find single citizen, but
discovered people who talked fourteen
different languages.
You have had protection of products
but free trade in labor"

relation to trusts; the Sugar trust the

same mills are re-opening. Sheep men
in Utah complain that the price of wool
is low. 1t has been gong down for
twenty years even though the profits on
the sheep industry last year were 121s per
cent.

that the dead past should bury its dead.

HAVE REBUILT THE PLANTS.
Fire Damage to the Oregon Lumber
COmpany's Property Repaired.

/ fire DamaEe TO the oregon LUMBER
| Company's Property Repaired.
| Some time ago the planning mills and
box factory of the Oregon Lumber
company at Baker City, Oregon, were
| destroyed by fire and the loss to the
company was considerable, but the en-
terprise which is always predominant
! in the business men of this territory,
for the stockholders of the Oregon
Lumber company are all Utah people,
would not permit of any delay in re-
building the ruined plants and now
that end has been accomplished. In
stead of satisfying themselves with
jsimply putting the works back in their
former condition the executive officers
of the company ordered an enlarge
ment and the plants are now consid-
erably improved in both complement
of machinery and capacity. In com
mon with all of the mills of the com
pany the planners and box factory are
now in full operation and the company
is turning out a greatly increased
amount of sawed and dressed timber.
President David Eccles of the COM
pany was in the city yesterday con-
suIting with some of the other mem
bers of the directory. He has just re-
turned from Baker City and the other
points where the company has any in
terests. While there has not been any
special increase in orders for lumber.
Mr.. Eccles states that the business of
the company is very satisfactory, ev-
erything taken into consideration. A
number of additional improvements
will be made by the company in the
very near future.

EFFECTS OF FREE WOOL.
Business Stimulated and Grawera
| Should Be BENEFITED.

Should Be BENEFITED.
The wool buyers of both the east and
the west are still acting as bears on
the market and refuse to allow prices
to change for the better, nothwith-
standing the general advance in the
eastern trade centers and the growing
demand for wool. Advices received
direct from Boston are to the effect
that territorial woods are ruling steady,
being quoted at prices ranging from
IA cents to liz cents. Locally 81
cents is the highest price being of
fered and in consequence but few
sales of Utah woods are being made.
Some time ago The Herald quoted a
free wool story from the San Fran
cisco Examiner, and the Republican
organs devoted considerable space to
denials of the truth of the statements.
Now again comes the Examiner and
in an interview with one of the ac-
cepted wool authorities of the Pacific
coast, reiterates all it has before said
of the benefits of free wool and gives
some additional facts. The paper says:
1.-THE good effects of free wool are
beginning to be felt beyond the COM
mercial centers, and the sheep-raiser
has reaped the benefit of advanced
prices. In speaking of the benefits of
free wool which have already been felt
in this market, Harry e. Wise, of
Christy, Wise & Co., yesterday made
the following statements regarding a
number of local wool-buyers, who, he
says, were recently quoted in morn
ing paper of this city as representing
the substantial wool interests of the
coast, and who beWailed the fact that
removal of the duty from wool would
ruin the industry.
1.-The statements made by a number
of disgruntled wool buyers in a Re-
publican paper were drawn out by an
interview with me, recently published
in the Examiner. Now there are some
inside facts about those interviews. and
they should be made public Every
person who spoke in defense of the in
famous Mckinley system and who pos
ed as an oracle ~as simply crying
down the truth for the purpose of bear
ing the market.
Zone of the men who was loudest in
his denunciation of free wool as the
cause of ruin came to me a few days
after his interview was published and
bought 100000 pounds of wool at the
highest prices paid in this market for
a long time. When / asked him and
others who were interviewed why they
had denied the truth about wool they
said that they made those statements
to keep the country people from rails
ing the prices on them. One man said
to me: Wise, VOW ruined the bust
ness. A man can hardly buy wool now
for love or money. OF course, what you
said was true, but it does not do to tell
the truth at all times Now that is

pLAcERs MAKING FINAL cLEANUps
OsceoIa's Gold Production Has Been
EairIx SatiSfncfO

October is the month of final clean
ups for the placer mines Of the terri
tory and this is especially true with
those of the Osceola district, which is
in a high altitude and subject to ex-
tremes of cold. Already the water in
the canals which feed the hydraulics
is freezing and operations are much
interfered with. The last cleanup at
the placers is now in progress and
within the next ten days the final
shipment of the yellow metal will be
made from the mines.
This has been a very fair year with
the placers and the proceeds of the
washings, notwithstanding the lack of
large nuggets, will aggregate about
the same amount as gathered in 1893.
The 5000 piece of gold recently washed
out was brought to this city several
days ago and is now at the Deseret
National bank. Its weight is forty-six
ounces. During the season a number
of other nuggets, but none as heavy
as this, were found. 1t is thought that
the chunks of yellow metal were
washed down on to the bedrock last
fall and covered UP.
