POLITICAL AND OTHERWISE.

The county court, SO it is hiIpted. has
provided elegant quarters for most all
of the county officers, but the district
judge and court officials do not seem
TO have Jared so well. Now this court
house annex was built more especially
to provide accommodations for the dis
trict court than anything else, or at
least that is what the selectmen said
when the court house proposition was
first sprung This appears now to have
beer a mistake if all reports are cor
rect. 1t is said that the judges cham
beers, as at present arransd, are neither
convenient or agreeable. An amend
ment to the plans and specifications
Will be in order and it is thought some
changes will be made THAT will enable
the district judge to secure quarters
that are somewhat more in keeping
with the dignity Of the position than
at present arranged.
Colonel Ed Allison has returned from
California, where he went to attend to
some legal business. The report THAT
he mad gone to find out the exact size
Of the TIumbo senatorial boom seems
to have been a mistake
There seems to be some misunder-
standing about the recent pleasure trip
taken by George M. Hansen. Mr.. Ham
sen said he went to California and
some prominent Republicans. among
them Ben Rich, declare that if Mr..
Hansen says he went to California he
has had a. lapse Of memory. Now why
is it that they wish to dispute Mr..
Eansens word and do it in such a
public manner is a question unsolved.
Certain it is that a great many Re-
publicans have got their eye on Ham
sen. Probably it is because he is a
twisted agent Of the Crane-Trurnhn
combine.
A prominent Republican city official.
an appointee Of Mayor Brough's, says
he hopes Mayor Spencer will appoint
good Democrats to every position over
which he has control. Several Demo
Gratis who do not hold positions say
amen to that suggestion and they hope
the mayor-elect will act accordingly.
Lindsay Rogers has returned from
Washington where, it is said, he went
on political mission, the exact ma.
ture Of which has not been announced
Some say that 1t had something to dc
with the municipal Offices. and that NE
wished to regulate the issuance of the
statehood proclamation. 1t being a
state secret Mr.. Rogers declines to say
JUST W4ldL eNINlCC IIC gave lA1C W CsouOCLIi

Colonel Hayes. in his Ogden depart
meIlt of the Tribune, says The Herald
was mistaken about the power dam
time check which was referred to ir
this department some time ago. There
was no mistake about it, the facts
were given exactly, and the time check
which told its own story was published
verbatim. The Herald dealt with the
matter from a. political standpoint and
made a clear case, which the Tribune
seems to have allowed to go by default
which is the usual way of dealing with
e matter. where there is no defense.
That Governor Wells should be in
Quoted into office in a manner fitting
to the occasion is something which
every citizen of Utah, regardless O.
party, wishes most earnestly. The in
auguration of a state government i:
certainly AN important event and non
that the political battle is over al

one long to be remembered. Governo
Wells is not to be the governor of ;
party but of all The people of Utah and
as every citizen is pledged to main
tain his authority and he in turn t.

is meet and proper that all the peopl
should attest their loyalty to the stat
government by joining heart and sou
in his inauguration.
