Assistant General Freight Agent
Sproul. of the Southern Pacific COM
pany. when seen yesterday said that
any opposition which might be estab-
lished by the oregon Railway and Nav
igation company could not affect the
Southern Pacific in the least.
1.-THE Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern are not the connections of
the Oregon Railway and Navigation
company" he said. '"They have no
traffic relations whatever. They con-
meet at Spokane. but they exchange
no business"
The representatives of the Oregon
Railway and Navigation company, on
the other hand. say that while this
has been true in the past there is no
indication that it is bound to remain
SO. In fact it is very likely that
traffic arrangement between the roads
mentioned will be perfected within the
next few days. as negotiations to that
end are now in progress.

of the council committee to a Herald
man yesterday. 1.-THE knocking out of

der the present contract There is a
provision in the charter which provides
that street lighting and sprinkling may
be paid for out of the general fund,
and, as you are aware, the expense of
lighting has been met in that way
right along. Will sprinkling districts be
restricted? Well, I cannot say as to
that, but personally I should favor ex-
tending rather than restricting it,

LEGEND OF THE PANsY.
TFrom the Household Magazine.1

From the dOuSenOlu MdSdzlHe.1
A pretty fable about the pansy is
current among French and German
children. The flower has five petals
and five sepals. In most pansies, es-
pecially of the earlier and less highly
developed varieties, two of the petals
are plain in color and three of gay
colors. The two plain petals have
sepal, two of the gay petals have a
sepal each and the third, which is
the largest of all, has two sepals. The
fable is that the pansy represents
family consisting of husband and wife
and four daughters, two of the latter
being stepchildren of the wife. The
plain petals are the stepchildren, with
only one chair, the two small, gay pet
ais are the daughters, with chair
each, and the large gay petal is the
wife. with two chairs. To find the
father one must strip away the petal
until the stamens and pistils ara Sare.
They have a fanciful resemblance to
an old man with flannel wrap about
his neck, his shoulders unraised and
his feet in a bathtub. The story is
probably of French origin, because the
French call the pansy the stepmoth-

THE THRIFTY ENGLISH.
War Gives Them n Chance ia Turn
an Honest Penny.


London, July 30-The English mer-
chants having dealings with the Chinese,
evidently do not intend to allow the
commencement of hostilities between
China and Japan to pass without trying
to make the most Of this opportunity of
increasing their bank accounts.
London firms, alone, during the last
fortnight, have offered China several bar
gains in torpedo boats and they have
also proposed that the Pel5in government
shall purchase number of fast English
steamers, which, their owners claim, can
readily be converted into cruisers.
In addition, these English merchants
have offered China nearly a thousand
guns of all sizes and makes as well as
a fresh lot of 1000 Mannlicher rifles, with
almost any amount of cartridges. When
these offers were first made, the Chinese
government took no notice of it, but to-
day several of these enterprising English
firms have received communications from
China, saying that rapid delivery will be
the condition of the sale.
The quotations of Chinese and Japanese
securities on exchange do not show even
fractional differences from the normal
figures.
The second officers of Kow Shung, sunk
by Japanese cruiser, was the eldest son
of an Essex clergyman, who lost his
youngest son at the fire which occurred
at the Exeter theatre.

a Cut in Overland Freight Rates
Nay Ensue.


The fact that the Oregon Railway and
Navigation company has opened an Of
fee on Montgomery street for the tran
saction OF freight and passenger bust
ness and has entered the field to COM
pete for the overland traffic between
San Francisco and the east, heretofore
monopolized by the Southern Pacific
and Union Pacific roads. has awakened
considerable interest in mercantile cir
cles. Merchants who are opposed 10
the Southern Pacific see an advantage
in building up opposition freight traffic
out of California, says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle. They argue that it
may result in a reduction of freight
rates.
AS stated in yesterdays Chronicle,
the appointment of a separate receiver
for the Oregon Railway and Navigation
company, heretofore a portion of the
Union Pacific, places the former road
in a position which necessitates its
fighting for business. Very little over
land freight has been handled on its
steamers between San Francisco and
Portland, or on its lines from Portland
to Huntington. Notwithstanding the

County Court.

The country court met today in regu-
lar session. All members were present,
with Judge Bishop presiding.
A communication from the city re-
corder, enclosing a city warrant for
$795.46, in payment Of a bill of Weber
county for collection of city taxes for
1898 was read. Attention was called to
the fact that this is a reduction of
$75.1S from the amount of the county's
claim, or l per cent on the balance of
tax of 1898 not paid over. Referred to
the county attorney.
C. E. Burnett appeared on behalf of
H L. Griffin and asked that the county
surveyor be sent out to locate the line
of road leading west from Thirtieth
street bridge. Referred to Selectman
SWenSon.
An order was made on the territorial
auditor for $1,239.35, being the amount
appropriatedSby the last legislature for
one-half of the cost Of making and cor
recting assessment plats for the years
1892 and 1893.
T. M. Douglass and NRichard Howell
addressed the court on the subject of
meat inspection. They allege they have
had no relief from the city, and much
hardship and inconvenience will be suf-
fered bv themselves and other butchers
under the present law unless action is
taken by the county court. IhlS matter
was heretofore referred to Judge Bishop
and Selectman Shurtliff, and this COM
mittee reported having labored with the
city council and with committee from
the council The council committee
agreed to recommend to the council the
appointment of three additional places
for inspection, and two such places have
been appointed. The committee asked
to be discharged.
1t was finally decided to appoint four
places for inspection, one in Huntsville,
one in Morrisites, one in Statewide and
one in Plain City, and Selectmen Sven
son and Wangsgord were appointed
committee with power to employ one or
more meat inspectors.
A number of bills were allowed and
court adjourned until next Monday at
10 o. clock.

Japs Made Mistake in Sinking the
KoNY Shung.

Washington, July So.-It is the opinion
of diplomats here that the japanese have
made a grave error in sinking the trans
port Kow Shung, and one that is going
to cost them much money in reparation
besides the humiliation of an apology
The Kow Shung was of line of coast
& Co.. and trading between Chinese
ports. The vessel was under the British
flag when she was sunk. Although she
carried Chinese troops to Corea, 1t is
said here she did not, in so doing, vio-
late the law of neutrality, for there has
been no declaration of war or open acl1-
nowledgement by either China or Japan
that war prevails. The vessel, there
fore, was engaged in legitimate traffic
and the Japanese are likely to pay dearly
for sinking her and destroying the lives
of the ships company.
