Has now set in for Salt Lake City
and Utah that will continue for many
years. The great activity in mining,
the rapidly developing gold camps in
all parts of the territory, the gold out
put will be many times greater than
ever before, the introduction of nat
ural gas for light and fuel, the COM
ing of statehood for Utah, large Indian
to be opened for settle
ment, the certainty of new railroads
centering at Salt Lake City, this and
much more is attracting capitalists
from all parts of the country. Our
fruit and farm lands under irrigation
is bringing home seekers and invest
ors Many, of desirable class, are
seeking our beautiful valley and I'M
paralleled climate for homes, as the
many sales in the beautiful
Oakley and Oakley Park sub
divisions testify. Over 400 lots
have been sold in these subdivisions
alone during the past five months.
Many new firms are opening up in
keeping with the rapidly increasing
business All now see the certain and
rapid advance in values and are TAX

Manner in Which the Natural
Gas is Delivered.
PRESIDENT HALL TALKS.
THINKS THE PRESSURE rs BEING
KEPT DOWN.
The Black Eagle Mining and Re-
duction Company Incorp orated-
Prospecting on Indian Creek-The
Rank CIearings.

There seems to be a great amount OF
trouble over the manner in which the
natural gas supply of the city
is being delivered. The pressure
is such that the consumers are not sat
listed, by any means President Bru-
back, of the Sanpete Valley, said to a
reporter yesterday that he had placed
the burners in his house at a cost of
Sl4O and On these cold mornings was
unable 60 get enough to warm the
place. much less light it. Several 9TH
er consumers were consulted and all
made the same plant.
Acting on this tip the reporter sought
out the officials of the New American
Gas company and ascertained that
there is trouble brewing. Said W. c.
Hall, president: 1--WE have enough gas
to light and heat the town with ease,
but there seems to be sort of ar
rangement by which the pressure is
Kept down. Surely we have gas
enough to do all we have promised, and
why there should be any complaints 1
cannot see.''
H. L. Driver stated: There is no
reason why the pressure should not be
sufficient to satisfy the demands of all.
We are holding back gas for fear Of
the pressure on the mains now. You
can say in The Herald that we have
gas enough to supply the city and are
keeping two wells sealed up in order
that the pressure may be controlled.
We are compelled to keep a patrol on
the line in order to prevent leaks, and
why consumers can find fault we are
unable to say We think that the re-
ductiOn valves which the Electric
Light company has in use are the rea-
sons. When we made the contract we
agreed to supply the company with all
and they agreed to take all we could
furnish, but they have not been taking
one-half Of it. If they will permit US
to give them the pressure, there will
be no more complaint"

DONOVAN SUSPENDED.
MAYOR BAsKIN ACTS ON THE
CAPTAINS CASE.
Uncertainty as to When Commits
sioner Noble Will Return and the
Trial Held the Cause.

Captain Donovan has been sus-
pended.
This action was taken by the mayor
last evening and was not unexpected.
When the charges were filed against
the captain by Chief Pratt some time
ago it was supposed that q speedy
hearing would be had, and the mayor
therefore took no steps But the sue
cessive meeting of the board of police
and fire commissioners have accom-
plished nothing in regard to this case,
owing to the absence of Commissioner
Noble and the captains unwillingness
to proceed with the trial unless all the
members were present. Mr. Noble is
still absent and it is uncertain when
he will return, and under these circum-
stances, THE mayor decided that it
would not be proper to withhold the
suspension longer.
Chief Pratt Immediately upon receipt
of the intelligence of the suspension of
Captain Donovan, through President
Jennings of the police board, called
First Sergeant Wire in and put him
IN the position of acting captain until
further orders.
Chief Pratt seemed to look upon the
situation of affairs as a mere matter
Of natural sequence, and refused to
say what was next expected; nor would
he commit the future into any guise
Of expression. Those who thought the
chief would gloat, failed utterly to see
any manifestation of such feeling
Mr.. Pratt went home at o'clock this
morning in as passive a mood as an
unfemembered summer dream.
