ARIZ0NA'S CONSENT.
A MEMORIAL PRAYING FOR CEDING
TERRITORY TO UTAH.
1t Has Been Introduced In the Legis-
lature and Will Be Pushed
Should 1T Pass, the Colorado
Canyon Will Bound Utah.

The proposition to give to Utah that
part of Arizona territory which is isola-
ted from the seat of government by the
almost impossible Grand Canyon of the
| Colorado and by all the laws of
| geography belongs to Utah, is now TAX
ing more definite shape. When the prop
osltlon was made in Congress last winter
by Mr.; Rawlins he found himself handi
capped by lack of Official declaration as
70 the desires OF Arizona III this respect.
Neither the Committee on Territories nor
| the other leaders of the House cared 10
90 anything SO radical against the de-
| sires of Arizona, and therefore consider
aton was deferred until that territory
could make itself heard. On receipt of
TINS information, A. w. WINS who has
years, Immediately set to work to obtain
an expression from the Arizona legisla-
lure, which is now in session. That his
work has not failed of effect is evident
from advices he has received He has
Deen notified that memorial to Congress
mas mas 3 3ei introduced, and will be pushed;
lows:
,aa Your 49,, memorialists. the Eighteenth
Arizona, respectfully beg leave to repre-
sent TO your honorable bodies:
That there is now before your honorable
delegates from Utah, providing for a
change in the boundary line between the
territories OF Arizona and Utah, whereby
the Grand canyon of the Colorado river
Will become the boundary line;
That said Grand canyon is an impass-
able barrier, there being no point be-
tween Lees Ferry and Scanlan's, a dis
lance of over two hundred miles, where
1t can be crossed;
That along the north side of the Grand
canyon, adjacent to Washington and
Kane counties, there is a narrow strip of
land which the pending bill would attach
TO Utah; this strip is a desert and there
are but few settlers upon it:
That some of the land which would be
in Utah is in Mohave county and some in
Coconino county, Arizona, and at present
hardships are entailed upon those living
north of the canyon in their being COM

in question. Therefore be il
Resolved. By the legislative assembly

delegate from Utah to use all honorable
means to bring this subject 10 the early

1t required nearly all day in police
court yesterday to try the case of H.
L. Stone and wife, who were charged
with running disorderly house. The
evidence in the case was to the effect
that cases of beer had been delivered
at the house and that unseemly noises
had been heard from within. The
jury found verdict of not guilty.
Karrecht. the soldier, and Nettie
Raymond, arrested with the Stone peo-
pie, were dismissed on motion of the
prosecution.
Charlie OMAN, the newsboy, is again
in trouble. This time he pleads guilty
to the larceny of a chair from the Rob
erts house. He was ordered sent be-
fore the district court as candidate

RENOyATING OLD GRAPE.

To those who are in deep mourning
it may be useful to know how to rem
ovate Grape.
I learned how from a fashionable
New York dressmaker who. in turn,
got her information on the subjec.
from an equally successful dyer and
cleaner.
Go into the kitchen, have the
clothes boiler two-thirds full of boiling
water, throw in five or ten cents worth
of gum arabic, place a new sheet Of
heavy brown wrapping paper, doubled,
over the top, arrange your Grape on
this, and await results. The fire in the
range must be brisk so that the water
will boil steadily while you are at
work Feel the Grape and in a few
minutes you will find it moist and
sticky. Now, with your two hands,
press out the creases, smoothing here
and arranging there, so that all parts
get an equal Steaming and all turned
in and rumpled places are renewed. If
your paper be too thick. try it single
and take another piece when 1t be-
comes wet. have succeeded best with
it doubled, tripled and sometimes quad
rupled. But it depends.
If it be trimming you are doing over,
be particular about those creased and
wrinkled places; the careful manipula-
ton of your hands over the board
smooth surface of the paper and the
constant steam will make the material
stiff, crisp and like new.
If it be a large piece of Grape, as for
instance, vail, be careful to fold it so
that the folds will not come immedi-
ately in the back or in any part of
the head gear where they will look
badly. I always do over my own Grape
and as dampness takes all the stiffness
out of 1t, find it as home made pro-
cess a great economy.
If one can not conveniently get to
kitchen and large boiler small oil
stove or alcohol lamp with a wide open
sauce pan will accomplish wonders
with small pieces Of Grape, and the
result will repay you for your trouble.
To do over small pieces Of velvet
place a wet handkerchief over a hot
f1atiron standing on its end and draw
the wrong side of the velvet over the
handkerchief. Have several irons on
the range and wet the handkerchief
each time you change your iron, until
the pieces are steamed to your salts
faction. Take an old handkerchief and
do not burn your fingers. A large piece
of velvet could be successfully steamed
over a kitchen clothes boiler without
the sheet of wrapping paper and with
out the gum arabic.

NO NEED OF A LEGISLATURE.
Why the Convention Should Abolish
the Legislative Assembly.

Why the Convention Should Abolish
the Legislative Assembly.
To the Editor of The Herald:
Why should the constitutional con-
vention provide for any legislature for
Utah?
The convention seems On the opinion
of many of it's members) to be abund-
antly competent and more than willing
to enact complete civil and criminal
code for the coming state for all
future time. Why saddle upon us the
useless expense of a state legislature
under the circumstances?
The principal office of constitution
In former times seems to have been
TO define and protect individual rights,
| to establish framework upon which
subsequent legislatures could frame
and from time to time amend a code
of law; to properly apportion and dis
tribute the various powers of the state
between the executive, judiciary and
legislature departments; to provide for
the election of the different officers; to
protect the people against hasty or
illconsidered legislation; to define
citizenship; to prevent class legislation
and to protect the rights of minorities
against the entertainments of tenn
porary majorities.

ture with the subsequent assent of a
majority of the voters of the state,
and provision should be made that at
stated times not too infrequent, the
opinion of majority Of the voters
should be taken upon the calling of a
new convention to amend or re-frame
the constitution.
But under the view of many mem
bers of the convention, seemingly that
in them is contained the embodiment
of the wisdom Of the ages and can now
see beforehand what legislation the
people of Utah will want ten years
from now, better than the people can
then see, they had better frame
civil and crominal code and prohibit any
amendment for the next fifty years ex-

voters, provide for no legislature I'M

IMPERFECT VISION

is caused by the length and shape OF
the eyeball. When the proper dimen-

tanned it is easy to prescribe the proper

But by the methods commonly in
vogue, glasses are fitted by the occulist
| trying successive test glasses until the
patient selects a combination which he
! thinks improves his vision. This is
only guess work on the part of both.
Glasses given under such conditions
rarely give perfect satisfaction, owing
to the eyes becoming easily confused
when being tested.

irregularities of the cornea, and the
length of the eyeball is taken by scien-

that do not vary a fraction of an inch.

sible.

The modern orchestra has been con-

has developed of playing on this ideal
instrument is an exact counterpart of
what we call virtuosity in the individ-
ual performer. A generation of ''virtuosi
of the orchestra" has sprung up, exer-
cising the same fascination over the
great crowd of music lovers that other
virtuosi have time out of mind.
The orchestral conductor is fast be
