! prove traitors to our friends? I tell
you such things can't be- The Salt
Lake Trlbue has for years and years
assalled US on the highways andN by
ways, and not content with this, has
Followed US into the sanctity of our
homes. Its work was not alone to ar
ralgn us at the bar of public opinion.
And now that same Tribune falls on
our necks and weeps in it's political
tnroes-we are fine people. Wherein is
\ the consistency? A Democratic admin
ilstration says that Utah is fitted to join
the sisterhood of states, and the Tri-
bune vii go to any ends to cajole our
people into voting the Republican tick
let, put the veneering is too thin-it' S
nauseating in it's utter transparency,
and the authors will be made to feel
lit"
And tell you there was full ton of
logic IN his short and pointed discourse,
giving his hearers to know that the
Mormon people cannot be worked ON
the Republican racket
CORRECTION OF GOVERNMENT
SURVEYS.
| l have been looking into the matter
of government surveys on the reserva-
l ton. and with the best obtainable in
formation at hand, am enabled to an
mex to previous correspondence on the
matter, the following:
Since the middle of July, when in
structions were given for correcting
marks north of the standard parallel,
| the work of correction has been stead
lily going forward as rapidly as circun-
stances would permit. Mr.. White, the
deputy who did this work in the first
place. went over to England, taking
with him some of the property belong
ing Jointly to himself and w. G.
up the corrections with a regularly
iorganized field force, and it is said
they will have all the work finished
north of the standard in fifteen days.
When field work is finished and the
notes sent in to Surveyor-General
!Straughan, at Boise, it is confidently
believed that he will at once wire for
a government inspector to come On and
pass upon it. If this is done, there is
no valid reason for delay in opening
the reservation excepting the allotment
Iof Indian lands in severalty. OF
course, in order to get things moving
briskly, it will be necessary to influ-
ence some Washington people, and it
lis understood that Ex-Governor Steven
son will lend every energy to this
The main thing now is to get, the sur
vey accepted by the government, and
there is no doubt of this unless some
inspector comes out and
lis filled up with "red tape" and his
own Importance, rather than sense and
good executive ability, ingredients
that go hand in hand. While out i'm
the wilds the past week, 1 observed
the field force in the distance, and from
their labors l judged they were hard
at work to complete the correction.
w. c. Miller, now in charge, is a
mining engineer from the Occur
d'Alene country, and accredited as in
every way proficient in the duties de-
volving upon him. Certain it is that
he is working faithfully and continu-
ously all through, and residents have
given him much credit for his work
UNDERGROUND. OR OVERHEAD.
The time is here to open up a safe
thoroughfare across the railway yards,
and to do this, it must be either a VIA
duct or tunnel-which If opened on
3 street, the latter would be preferable
by long odds, as across the whole four
teen tracks the ground is largely made. |
and If viaduct was built the ap-
proaches would necessarily hcve to be
unduly long. Tunneling would obviate
all this. and be less expensive. If the
crossing IS made at Centre street, then
the hotel must be moved out of the
way. One or the other is down on the
b1lls, and for the near future, as grow
ing traffic demands action In the prem
ises.
THE HERALD;
Make no mistake in the matter The
Herald will very shortly get here the
same day as published, and this is
a point for Pocatello and southeastern
Idaho in itself. The matter has not
been pigeon-holed by the Union Pacific
officials by any means, and will be ar
ranged at an early date to the salts
faction of all
RAYMOND BOWS TO POCATELLo.
In leaving Pocatello and a hospitable
people, 1 desire to thank you for cour-
tesies extended me from start to finish.
and may add in my own favor that |
in my correspondence 1 have endeav-
ored to treat you fairly and impartially, |
dwelling on matters as they appeared
to me from personal observations and
such limited information as vouch-
safed a stranger in your midst. Stran-
ger, did 1 say? Well-not a stranger
