The Asphalt Combine.

One of the largest and most yalua bic
the continent, lies along the northwestern
borders, partially in this State and partially
in Utah. The beds across the border are
within the lines OF the Uintah Indian
Reservation, and as a consequence NJ title
has yet been obtained tn them Different
portions of these beds have been worked
for the past three or four years, the product
being hauled to Grand Junction in wagons
and thence shipped East, where it has been
used with great success iRpaying.
The authorities at Washington are said
10 have discovered conspiracy to obtain
possession of these aspbalIum beds 1t is
no news in this State, however, where it has
been known for at least three years. The
Federal Government is negotiating with the
Utes on this reservation to give them the
lands in severality, and this win throw a
large portion of the reservation back into
the public domain and openit tn settlement
The movement is undoubtedly inspired and
encouraged by the men or Companies which
desire to gain possession of these asphalt
lands. They are said to have their agents
and representatives all ready to make the
proper filings, and to thus secure q most
valuable body of public land. By obta lining
it the asphalt monopoly in this country will
be strengthened and perpetuated.-Denyer

IN DEFENSE OF DEBS.
Rev DR.. Kent Draws Lesson From
tile. Famous strike Case.

Rev Dr. Alexander Kent, of the Poo
pies Church, addressed a large congrcga-
ton yesterday morning on the case Of
Eugene Debs and the bearing it has on
the rights and liberties of American citi-
Zcns
DR.. Kent asserted and proved that. in
the opinion of men not at all Identified with
the labor question, there was an unusual
tension of the Federal power In 1894,
when the attempt was made to break the
Chicago strike and Dcbs was punished
as the leader of it. Quoting from the re-
port of the United States commission ap-
pointed TO investigate the strike, the
spea kcr showed that the commission had
found no evidence that the officers of the
A K. L. participated in or advised the
destruction of property in the great strike.
The commission held that the number of
strikers who were engaged in the out
RACES against the-faw were few.
The cases of conspiracy on which Debs
and his associates We're brought into court,
said DR.. Kent, We're SO weak that the vo-
ciferous demands of the railroads and their
friends began TO die out Immediately upon
the defense beginning its testimony.
When il came to the alleged disobedience
of the courts injunction, commanding the
leaders TO desist from .all unlawful inter
ference" they Were prohibited from using
even persuasion, said the minister, and the
court virtually forbade what the law did
not forbid.
This was a species of judicial ugglery
and dishonesty utterly unworthy OF any
COURT
In closing his address, the speaker said:
brotherhood, genuine, vital, all-inclusive.

SCHOOL YEAR SHORTENED
Only About Eight Months Instruc-
ton Will Be Given.
Reason Assigned That Repairs on
some of the Buildings HIVE
Not Been Completed.

Nine months school and halliday ses-
sions for. many children is what Wash
ington is to have this year. The schools
open on Sept % and will certainly close
as early as July 1. Allowing for week
at Christmas for vacation scant nine
months is lett for study.
good many parents are asking why
the opening is placed so late this year.
Everything i'll the schools is conducted on
the basis of ten months work. The
teachers are paid in ten monthly install
ments and the general impression is that
they are employed every month except
July and August.
1t was formerly the custom for the schools
TO begin to close about the middle OF June
and the final exercises were held during
the last week in the month. They were
reopened the first Monday in September
With the necessary preparations at The
beginning of the year and the looking
over examination and winding up work
at the close this gave teachers full nine
months actual service and the children
had the advantage of as many weeks in the
class room as are given anywhere in the
country.
But OF late the time for opening has been
deferred till the middle and now till the
last week in Sept. niber, and II the schools
close at the usual time next summer the
children will receive little more than eight
months actual teaching in the class s-room.
This is nearly n month less than is usual
in the large towns and the cities OF the
United States.
one of the trustees, when asked why
the opening was so late this year, said ii
was because the repairs were not finished.
Several of the buildings will then be
barely ready for use ID one or two proba bly,
cannot be opened on that date.
Superintendent Powell, when asked why
the schools were to open SO late, frankly
said lie did not know. He had not noticed
That the time was later than usual, and
he was not sure that September 23 was
the date. He thought he heard Colonel
Ross say the ca tie for the schools to begin
was September Il.
There are I02 school houses in the Dis
;.ict, all in repair and ready for occupancy"

day when asked concerning the progress
of repairs.
las soon as the appropriation was avail
able. this office went To work IN system

needed. Chairman Harries, OF the proper
committee of the board of trustees, sub
mittcd a report of the repairs necessary on
each school building, and every one OF
them has been put in proper condition for
the reception of the pupils.
1.-The Stevens case is an exception, OF

There is no delay whatever in the re-

OvER-THE-RIvER SALOONS.
Thirsty Thugs Again Able to Get
Their Sunday Liquor.

The old order of things was resumed at
Jackson City yesterday. There were not
many visitors to the cluster OF shanties
across the bridge, but those who did 20
over went with the evident purpose OF
filling up on the illegally dispensed bcyer-
ages abounding at the many saloons that
line Mud street.
Candler's saloon and hall We're the chief
attractions of the place, and most OF the
crowd were there. A couple OF cabs were
in front OF the place the greater part or
the day, and sounds of booZy merriment
issued from the open windows upstairs.
IN the afternoon after the sun went down
the crowd came ownstairs, and con-
tinued their revels on the small front
porch of the saloon.
The attendance at ''Joe's' and "MaCk's"
was not large enough to warrant open
doors, but for the waiting few it was
only necessary to tap slightly and If they
had the price they could get the drinks.
The long frame groggery near the stables
was open. windows and doors, and a
number of men. mostly colored, loafed
inside and on the porch in front.
The much-t h-talkcG-c consta5es were not
in evidence, and the town seems to have
been given over and allowed to run as
the sweet viii of its hobo lima bitants
dictates. with absolutely no regard for
law OF order.

Three ladies occupied the other carriage,
