A GOOD MOVE.

A Convention to Form a Western Edi-
tOrial Association.
The Utah Press Association has is
sued call for a convention of all
western editors, for the purpose of
forming one grand Western Editorial
Association. The convention will be in
session in Salt Lake City August 9th
and 28th. Arrangements have been
made with the railroads so that every
newspaperman desiring to attend "can
do SO without paying his fare or
counting ties.
The call for this convention has been
issued with view to inaugurating a
movement to promote the general well
fare of Western journalism and create
a closer and more friendly intercourse
between the editorial workers through
out the transmississippi states. At the
convention it is proposed to discuss
libel laws and such other matters as
may come before the convention.
Altogether the idea of such con-
vention and of such an association must
strike every editor favorably. The as
ISOLATION will give greater weight to
the papers of this association, and
carry greater influence in national leg
islation affecting the states embraced
by the organization.
Any further information about trans
portation, routes, hotels, etc., can be
obtained by addressing a note of ill.,
quiry to A. B. Tomson, corresponding
secretary Utah Press Association, 3O5
Atlas block, Salt Lake City, Utah.

Regrets That the Law Was Not Allowed

Regrets That the Law Was Not Allowed
to Take Its Course.
Ellensburg, Wash, August 16.-The
body of the Wilson's were cut down
early this morning, taken to the under
takers and prepared for burial. Their
family was notified that the bodies
were at their disposal, but they tolo
the authorities they would have nothing
to do with them. Consequently the
court will bury them. There has been
no undue excitement here today, but
more than the usual number of men
have been on the streets discussing the
affair. Beyond question, there is not
a particle of sympathy for the despera-
does. All concede they only got what
they deserved, yet, while this feeling
prevails SO extensively, it is a matter
of very general regret that the city,
which has heretofore been so law-abid-
ing, should be brought into such un-
pleasant notoriety, and much regret is
expressed that the law was not allowed
to take it's course. While the Jail was
being stormed Judge Graves and Major
Frost made an effort to get the militia
company out, but SO many people were
camping in the mountains that they
were unable to collect guard until
the affair was over. No further trou-
BILE of any kind is at all probable, and
affairs are rapidly assuming their nor
NAL condition,

REPORT OF HAMMOCK TROUBLE
Captain vanersda1e Lays All the Blame
on the White Hunters.

Captain vanersdale Lays All the Blame
on the White Hunters.
Washington, August ia report
sent to the war department. by Captain
]. Vanersdale, of the Seventh infantry,
late acting agent of the Fort Hall res
ervation, on the subject of trouble with
the Bannock Indians, has been referred
to the secretary of the interior. The
report says, in part:
"Being short-rationed and far from
self-supporting, the Bannocks hunt for
the purpose of obtaining sustenance.
By treaty, they are granted this privi-
lege. 1t would seem that the killing
of these Indians under the circum-
stances is nothing more nor less than
murder. Furthermore, believe there
is no wanton slaughter of game by
them, while it is notorious fact that
hundreds of animals are killed by
white men for nothing more than their
heads and horns The Indians can
hardly be expected to submit to the
killing of their deer while engaged in
an occupation which they think they
have right to follow more quietly
than white men would do, and failure
by the government to take proper &C.
ton is apt to result in serious loss of
life and property"

TAYLOR THE DEFAuLTER.
South Dakota's ex-Treasurer Given the
Limit of the Law.


Pierre, S. D., August 16. The
courtroom was crowded today to hear
Judgment pronounced ON W. W. Tay-
lor, defaulting ex-state treasurer.
When asked if he had anything to say
why sentence should not be pronounced
ON him, Taylor, in low voice, replied:
81 have not"
Judge Gaffpey then reviewed the
case and the different statutes bearing
on the crime. He considered the much
discussed section 1865 void, and did
not believe a two-year sentence was in
tended to cover such case as this. He
considered that Taylor's worst crime
was in attempting to force a com.
promise after gathering together all
the state funds he could lay his hands
ON. A sentence of five years at hard
labor was then pronounced.
The attorneys of w. W. Taylor are
jubilant in the belief that their client
will not begin to serve out the FIVE
year sentence imposed ON him by Judge
Gaffeny this morning. They will ap-
ply to the supreme court for habeas
corpus on the ground that two years is
the longest sentence permissible under
the statute invoked by the lower court.

CANADA COMPETITION
"a Bulletin From the Agricul.
tural Department.
WORLDS MARKET SERIES
Total Trade of the Dominion Has In
creased Twenty-One Per Cent
in Ten Years.

Washington, August 13.-The ex-
tent of the competition of Canada with
the United States in foreign markets is
pointed out in bulletin, to be issued
by the secretary of agriculture in a
few days. The bulletin is the fourth
of the worlds market series in course
of publication by the department, and
embodies the reports of thirty OF our
consuls in the Dominion. 1t shows
that the total export of Canada in
creased from $50, 000,0 900 in 1885 to
$11S, 900, 900 in 1894, or 33 per cent;
the imports from $4,000 900 to
$123, 900, 900, or 13 per cent; and the
total trade from $198, 900, 900 to $241,
900, 900, or 81 per cent during the same
period. The largest proportional in
crease was in 1892, when the value OF
the total trade exceeded that of the
preceding year about II per cent.
From 1888 to 1891, inclusive, the trade
of Canada with the United States ex-
ceeded that of any other country, but
since then the United Kingdom OF
Great Britain and Ireland has taken
the first rank, with the United States
second.
An important fact is that large
share of the agricultural products 60
ing abroad from Canadian seaports
are cereals and flour in transit from
the United States. Of $4,000, 900 OF
such products shipped last year, &c.
900, 900 was American merchandise.
OF late years increased attention has
been given by the government of Can
ada to dairy interests, encouraging the
dairy associations throughout the coun-
try, and passing strict sanitary laws
regulating the manufacture of cheese
and butter. No authorizations can be
used, and the importation, manufac-
ture and sale of oleomargarine and
other similar substances is prohibited.
Through the quantity of butter export
ed decreased from 10000, 900 pounds
in 1883 to $4,000 in 1894, nearly so
per cent, the value declined only from
81, 1000 to $1,100,000. This indi-
Gates improvement in the quality OF
butter exported.
The statistics of the fishing industry
and the forest products show that the
value of the former in 1894 was $780,
900, 900, and the latter over $50, 900,
900. In wood pulp, in 1894, the
United States alone imported from the
Dominion S369,O1O,

Weather Bureau Service,

Washington, August 15.-Important
changes in the weather bureau service
throughout the United States were or.
dered today. They include several re.
movals of observers, a suspension and
a dozen or more transfers between var.
lous stations. Observer G. S. Stuller.
of the Baker City, Or, station, was

act exclusive service from its employees.
1t is officially stated that hereafter all

THE VACANT JUsTIcEsHlP.
Cleveland MAY Appoint Harrison to
the Place.


the Place.
Chicago, August ia special to
the Tribune from Washington says:
Ex-President Harrison is among
those suggested for the vacancy on the
supreme bench vacated by the death of
Justice jackson. Attention has been
called to the fact that while Mr.. Har-
rison was president he was broad
enough to appoint as justice of the
supreme court an ex-Confederate and a
Democrat, Howell E. Jackson. 1t is
suggested, in view of this fact, that
Mr.. Cleveland, brushing aside party
considerations, should appoint his
predecessor in the White House to the
highest judicial tribunal in this coun-
try. No president since Washington
has had an opportunity to make more
than five appointments to this post of
duty and dignity. Washington made
eleven appointments, and Jackson,
Lincoln and Grant are the only others
who ever reached five. Harrison
named four. Cleveland has made three
appointments, and has vacancy to fill,
while there is one ON the bench who
may retire before the end of this ad-
ministration.

Herreschoff Will Rid.

Newport, August 15.-An important
conference between J. b. Herreschoff,
of the boat building firm, and Secre-
tary Herbert has occurred on board the
dispatch boat Dolphin.
Mr.. Herreschoff came to present
plans to the secretary of the navy for
the construction of torpedo boat to
have speed of 81 1-2 knots, and to
cost $150,000. 1t is understood that
the Herreschoffs will be among the bid
ders for the construction of the torpedo
boats authorized by the last congress.
The conference lasted for two hours,
and at its conclusion Chief Engineer
Moore accompanied Mr.. Herreschoff
on board the steam launch Eugene
which, it is stated, is a model of the
one suggested for the torpedo boat.
Herreschoff declares that such en-
gines are capable of producing the de.
sired speed of 81 1-2 knots, and that
he will ask for no bonus or excess of
that record.

No One Able to Unlock the Doors OF
the Cells.
Lebanon, Ind. August ia mob
of forty men went to the Springfield
Jail about o'clock this morning and
demanded the keys of the cells of Mat
thew Lewis and James Ray, who as
saulted Mrs. Shields recently. The
jailer, seeing resistance was useless,
handed over the keys, and the mob
proceeded to business. Everybody in
the mob was drunk, and none of them
seemed to be able to unlock the Jail
door. After working about the locks
and bolts without result, they secured
sledghammers and tried to break down
the doors. They proved too strong for
them, however, and after two hours
hard work they abandoned the Job.
They then emptied their revolvers into
the cells of the Jail, but no one was
hit. Returning the keys to the jailer,
they said they would be back tonight
and left. The mob was made up of
men from Washington and Marion
counties. The two negroes will be
confined at Louisville until the excite
ment is over,

San Francisco, August IA. - The
schooner Uranus brings news that the
sealers have reached Behring sea and
are in imminent danger of seizure by
the revenue cutters. This means a
great deal to owners of sealing ven-
lures. The instructions under which
the cutters are boarding vessels this
year are to seize all seal skins. The
schooners are liable to seizure also, for
the international regulations are so
strict that vessels with guns for shoot.
ing seals on board are not allowed in
Behring sea. The last news from the
United States cutter Corwin, which
was received by those on the Uranus,
was that she was expected back by
Unimak island the middle of July. All
these things indicate that the next
news received from Behring sea is
likely to be sensational in its nature.
