Discuss the Farrell Claims.

The county selectmen met in session
yesterday and considered the $4,000
claim of j. w. Farrell &, Co., for extra
work on the joint building. Each item
of the voluminous document was taken
up and discussed separately, but at the
close of the session last night they
were apparently as much at sea re-
garding the correctness of the claim
as if it had never been considered. One
thing developed, however
The members of the joint building
committee were examined relative to
the different claims, and all stated
that the understanding was that Mr..
Farrell should submit any and all or
ders for extra labor to the committee
before proceeding with the work This
they claimed, had been followed ont
and the county had already settled for
all work thus authorized by the com
mittee, hence it was difficult to arrive
at any definite conclusions as to the
business of the present claim.
What final action was taken in the
matter the selectmen refused to di
Vulge, but it is pretty definitely under
stood they will report it back to the
county court with Recommendations
that Will not be favorable to its allow
ance.

RIO GRlANDE WESTERN.
Road That is Identified With
Utah's Growth.

UtahS CROWN.
Utah's most important railroad is the
Rio Grande Western railway-at least
that progressive corporation has been
closely identified with the growth and
DEVELOPMENT of the territory since May,
1883. when the last rail connecting the
east with the west, was laid. 1t begins
of the main stem which dips into the
Centennial state to join forces with its
strong eastern connections. A brief out
line of its history is all this space Will
permit. but in that short delineat1on 1t
will be the purpose to place before our
readers the fact that the Rio Grande
Western railway has made itself by up
building Utah. 1t has been sufficiently
bition, purposes and development of this
great coming state, lay it's own success.
The railroad. therefore, has always
Joined hands with the elements that have
led in the prosperity OF the territory. 1t
has ever been the opinion of the Off
Gals of the company, that to develop the
natural resources Of the territory their
efforts must lie in the direction OF re-
claiming the vast arid regions-and while
it must be admitted that the railroad is
not the result but the very means of
civilization, and that the penetration OF
the desert with these drastic threads of
steel would naturally result in the ulti-
mate reclamation of all available soil
and resources-neverthele these men
of the r. G. w. have advanced and fos-
tered every enterprise, every hope, every
thought until now the territory, with the
added stimulus it will receive as one OF
the union of states, has it's diversified
abundant resources in the trend that
leads to perfected development.
The Rio Grande Western railway was
not the first to push its way into the
deserts and valleys of. Utah, nor is it
the last: Others will come, but while we
are waiting, the R. G. w. is silently
forging through the valleys and passes
in its onward march to the sea. Its San
Pete and Sewer branch, completed to
Manti in December 1890, and to Salina
in July of the following year, and now
in the course of construction to Rich
line of railway extension now being built
between the Missouri River and the
western coast
The total mileage of the Rio Grande
Western is not great-it has but 531 miles
in its system; but it's branches to Eureka
and the Tintic Mining district completed
in December. 1S9D, to Bingham, to SEQ
field. and to Salina, thread the valleys
of the territory, making it possible for
the huSbandman to market his goods and
the miner to sell his product. This little
line of railway has kept abreast of the
time in other ways. Its road bed and
equipment have been fashioned after the
successes of it's older allies
of the east. All modern appliances for
the safety, convenience and comfort of
it's patrons are ferreted and adjusted to
its requirements.
If the future of a new state is depend
ent upon the enlargement liberality and
influence. then the young state of Utah,
with an organization of;the character of
its greatest railroad, may front the fu-
ture without fear of disappointment.

THE NICARAGUA DEAL.
The London Syndicate Has Te1e-
graphed Its Acceptance.l

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Mail advires
to the Associated Press from Managua,
Nicaragua, dated December 8, say that
the London syndicate of holders of the
railroad bonds issued in 1886 by Mica
r2gua and due in 1895, have clbled their
acceptance to the "Ad Referendum
agreement, which they wrote out on
September II for Nicaragua to accept.
1t gives to the bondholders the adj
ditional securities of an export duty
of at least one cent gold per pound ON
all coffee exported from Nicaragua in
consideration of reduction of rate of
interest of six to four per cent per an
nhm and the cancellation of one-half of
the unpaid interest to January 1, 1896.
This rebate in interest and cancella-
ton of part of the interest DUE are,
however, more than compensated by
several charges, expenses, etc, claimed
by the syndicate which Nicaragua has
to pay annually.
The issue in 1886 by Nicaragua of
railroad bonds amounting to f2S5,Q00
due in 1919. Interest was paid on them
to january, 1892, and in addition, ONE
half yearly payment was made in June,
1893. The bonds We're sold in 1885 at
about 771s cents on the dollar, but be-
cause of commission, etc, of the LON
don bankers, Nicaragua received only
about So cents ON the dollar 1t lis
probable that the congress of Nicara-
qua, which assemblies January l, 1896,
will not accept the terms of this "Ad
referendum"

AT 5:35 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Selectman Geddes handed Mr.. Boman
Cannon list of the charges made
against him in regard to his admin
istration of affairs at the county mfr
mary, and notification that he would
be expected to appear before the Sc
lectmen sitting in secret session for
trial at 10 o'clock this morning. Mr..
Cannon handed the charges to his legal
adviser, Judge Powers, and he turned
them over to the press. The worthy
selectmen used efforts to keep them
from the public and their desire to
hold the investigation behind closed
doors is of course in line with the ira
ditions of the mileage makers who
have always shown a great prediction
for star chamber proceedings Mr..
Cannon objects to having a trial be-
hind closed doors and if that course is
persisted in Judge Powers will try the
efficacy of a writ of mandate to COM
pei Mr. Cannon's irreproachable judges
to grant him a public trial. 1t is also
claimed that the time allowed the de-
PENDANT to get ready for trial is too
short and a continuance will be asked
for on that ground.
The charges are nine in number; they
are written on official paper, but bear
no signature and as will be seen are
couched in the classic English which
might be expected from gentlemen of
the superior erudition which is gener-
ally acknowledged to be a characters
tic of the three champion mileage MAX
ers. Specification No. 3 is quite unique
in charging Mr.. Cannon with want of
executive ability in being able to prop
erly control inmates"
The Charges.

follows:
