A capital way to use up odd pieces OF
wool of all colors and lengths Is to knit
them up into a sufficient length for pair
of reins. Just plain, close knitting should
be employed, the bands being made about
IA inches wide. When the length for the
driving reins is finished, the width of the
chest should be measured and another
band fixed on either side, made long
enough to slip over the head, allowing the
reins TO pass under the arms Across the

MIR. MEYER RETURNS.
He Has Been Looking Over the
Southern Country.

Theodore F. Meyer returned to this
city yesterday after two weeks trip
in Southern Utah in company with A.
II. Cannon and Hon. r. c. Lund of
st. George.
MT. Meyer represents a syndicate of
st. Louis capitalists which has on
hand project to build a railroad from
Salt Lake to San Diego and his pres
ent object in making a tour of the
southern country was to ascertain the
feelings of the people there in regard
TO the project. There are two routes
proposed for the new railroad, one by
way of Deep Creek and the other via
Southern Utah. Mr.. Meyer has always
favored the latter and from his OBJ
servations of the past two weeks is,
it is understood, more confirmed in
that view than ever.
He found the people hailed with de-
light the prospect of a road running
through that country and that they
are prepared to cooperate with a COM
pany in the building of it and do all
within their power to further the I'M
dertaking. Mass meetings were held
at Beaver, Parowan, st. George and
all the principal cities along the line,
at which Messrs. Meyer, Cannon and
Lund were received with the greatest
enthusiasm and the project heartily
endorsed.
The resources of Southern Utah and
the desirable tract of country to be
opened up by the advent of the iron
horse are so much greater than those
by way Of Deep Creek that there can
be no doubt that through the southern
country is the proper route for a
road from Salt Lake to California and
there is little doubt that the st. Louis
capitalists, whom Mr.. Meyer repre-
sents, will so decide.
Mr.. Meyer visited the sulphur beds
and the works owned by the Dickert-
Meyer company at Cove creek near
Beaver, and with the advent of rail-
way these works will be greatly en-
larged. New chemical works and
match factory will be erected and an
era of general industrial activity in
augurated, not only at Cove creek, but
all along the proposed route.

These New Workers are w. B. Hoff-
mann. James B. O'Neill. Charles Nc

There are three important positions
TO be filled beyond those Of president
and vtce-president by the new board.
They are general manager, treasurer

At present c. B. Tedcastle, of New
York. is the treasurer. AS he is an
adherent of the Starbuck faction, he
will doubtless be dropped. General
Manager c. ]. Smith claims to have
been wholly impartial in the contest.
His efficient management of the COM
pany's affairs, it is believed, will be
recognized by Mr. Smith and in all
probability he will be retained. How
ever, Paul F. Mohr has been men
toned for the position of general
manager. Mr.. Mohr has been identi-
fed with various railway companies
IN the Northwest. He was the chief
engineer of the Spokane and Palouse,
and later on, OF the Seattle, Lake
Shore & Eastern. Mr.. H Poston is

SOUTHERN RAILWAYS.
Researches Are Already Bearing
Good Fruit.

Washington, June 1S.-The Inter
Continental railway commission, under
whose direction extensive surveys
have recently been made in Central
and South America for the purpose of
ascertaining the feasibility of con-
structing a railroad connecting the
systems of the United States and
Mexico with those of Southern Peru,
Brazil, Chill and the Argentine repub-
lie, is in receipt of information show
ing that its researches are already
bearing fruit. The Guatemala Cen
trail railroad company, whose main
line runs from San Jose on the Pa
cific TO Guatemala City, has deter
mined to build that portion of the In
ter-Continental system intended to
traverse Guatemala, and has put that
determination into practical shape by
actual construction, having opened to
traffic on April A last, the section ex-
tending from Santa Maria, on the
Guatemala Central, to Santa Lucia,
and is continuing construction to Patu-
lul, with the intention Of continuing
the line northwestern, to the Mexican
frontier and southeasterly to the
frontier Of Sal Salvador.
The Mexican Southern Railroad is
already in operation to Oaxaca, 400
and will soon close the intervening
gap between that city and the Guat-
emala frontier. The Mexican South
ern and the Guatemala Central will
soon enable one to go by rail from
Washington to the centre of Salvador.
In this latter republic, Mr.. Scherzer
is at work constructing his line and
if taken in connection with the rail-
roads already existing in Nicaragua.
would enable travellers to go by rail
from any city in the United States TO
a proposed location Of the Nicaragua

After searching all the houses and not
finding the wounded Cuban, he called
some citizens to him and demanded,
on pain of torture, to know his hiding
place. All denied all knowledge of the
Cuban. The Spanish officer, therefore,
put all the citizens to torture. Mean

Colonel Rodriguez, who was in COM

forward on double quick time. When
we reached the village, the scene beg

not escape. Our men were wild with

The announcement in yesterday S
Herald of a further cut by the Rio
Grande Western in freight rates from
Chicago to Utah common points
caused another stir in business circles
yesterday, the merchants looking upon
it as the beginning of what they all
fear-a rate war. 1t was thought
that the Union Pacific would meet the
cut, perhaps go under it, AID that
decentralization would follow. Sut this
IS not to be, if the statements of the
railway officials are to be relied upon.
Mr.. Helm, of the Western, said to
a Herald reporter that his road had
not taken the step with view to
inaugurating a war or anything of the
took the view that the rates an
nounced are proper and just, indepen-
dent of any plan for retaliation. and
should have been made by the Union
Pacific when the first cut was an
nounced. The Western, he said, didn't
want any wal and would not invite it.
The rate we have announced" said
Mr. Helm, lis permanent. We shall
stand by it,
EccIes Says There Will BE No War.
Mr.. Eccles. the diplomat of the
Union Pacific crowd, knew about the
Western cut Of course. and had given
1t attention.
I'VE have announced our rates, and
have given the peo<s of Utah what
we believe they are entitled to. At
the outset, the UnioH Pacific said it
would not engage in any rate war,
because such a thing is simply ruin
Gus to the country. At the present
time, we do not think that anything
lower than the rate now in effect over
the Union Pacific would benefit Utah
shippers. The reduction has been
made as a permanent thing, Some
thing on which merchants can base
their estimates. We are opposed to
juggling with tariffs, because as they
are unsettled, business becomes I'M
settled. We are satisfied with the
situation as it is. and do not propose
TO alter it if we can help it. Some
minor readjustments may be made
but they will not cut any figure. Our
tariff is in to stay"

Twenty-Seventh Annual Convention

Omaha, Neb., June 1S.-The twenty

Order of American Mechanics began
business with rush today. The
morning session was devoted to pass
ing upon credentials AMI admitting
new representatives sent through the
increase of the order and of the basis
of representation. Iowa's delegation
was temporarily refused seats, owing
to a question whether the requisite
number of councils existed in good
standing in that state to entitle it to
representation. J. q. Archter, ma
tionaI councillor, submitted his report,
setting forth that despite business de-
preston the order had in the last
year gained instead of losing, and had
now thirty state councils and subcrdi-
nate councils in ten other states,
Maine, Minnesota, Wyoming, Idaho
and Montana are the states where the
flag of tSe order has been unfurled
during the last year. Reviewing the
condition of order in detail, touching
on the western states, he reported that
Nebraska gained six councils, making
eleven. but lost $50 members; Colorado
showed the largest gain of any west
ern state. having 900 new members;
Iowa shows a slight loss; Missouri
shows a gain in councils. but a loss
in membership, and kansas mas

Washington, June 1S.-Ex-Represen-

says he believes the Democratic and
Republican parties will go before the
people next year on gold platforms
and expects the silver Democrats to
support the nominee of their party. Mr..
Cooper admits the free silver senti-
ment is strong in Indiana, but says
MANY have been driven to the support
of the administration by the abuse
heaped upon the president and sec
rotary. He says the drift is in favor
of the gold standard, and that the
campaign of education is showing the
free silver men the error of their ways.

that if a vote was taken today on
free coinage of silver the south and
west would favor the proposition. But
