SLACK COAL.
Price Has Been Raised Seventy-Five
Cents n Ton.

Price Has Been Raised Seventy-Five
Cents n Ton.
For some years past the Union Pa
cific has had the call on the SLACK
coaP' haul, owing to the fact that but
little of this very desirable commodity
is made at the mines in Pleasant Val
ley or at Castle Gate.
A few weeks ago the Pleasant Val
ley people-or, more properly speaking,
the Rio Grande Western-conceived the
idea that they chould be able to make
a deal whereby they would be enabled
to put slack" coal on the Salt Lake
market and thereby get their proper
ton of the haul. How to do this with
no slack of any consequence to sell,
was a puzzler; but who ever knew
railroad man stumped for want of
remedy? There was but very little
slack yet carload after carload was
shipped in and sold to those concerns
of the city where steam is necessary
to carry on the business.
But there was a great difference in
the slack (which, by the way, was
called steam" coal-furnished by the
Pleasant Valley people, as compared
with that coming from Weber or wy
oming.
The latter was slack" pure and

plies-whiIe the steam" coal furnished
by the other people was just as good,
in many instances, as that given by the
companies in the good old days when
the consumer ordered and paid for
lump.
This went on for some time, and the
dealers commenced to interrogate
themselves as to what the next step
would be, or whittier were they drift
ing.
day, when it was given out that from
and after that date the price OF both
slack and steam coal would be
raised 25 cents per ton, and that is the
increase the consumers will be sub
iected to from now on-until, at least,
q frl1ther increase may be made. There
does not, however, appear to be any
particular fight on among the railroad
people; rather does it seem that there
is an understanding of some kind.
What that understanding is, II there
be one, is a mystery.

SALOON VS.. BLIND PIGS.

Atwater (Minn.) Press: License has
again been voted in Atwater after a
period of five years IN which legalized
saloons have not been permitted, al
though the great blot known as blind
pigs have largely taken their place.
Had the wishes of the people been
carried out and the illegal selling of
liquor suppressed, we would much pre-
fer it that way, as we have no use for
either, but as between the two evils,
of saloon and blind pigs, if we must
have one, we must confess that we
favor the former, provided they be
compelled to conduct their business in
strict compliance of the law. And if
this step is taken, which we regret is
not frequently the case, the induce
mentS for running a saloon would not
be very alluring.
We would favor the enacting of an
ordinance prescribing certain rules
under which license will be granted,
containing provisions that no blinds or
other distractions be placed so as to
prevent exposing to view the interior
Of a saloon; that no tables or chairs
be allowed in the saloon, except one
chair for each bartender and other en-
ployee; that the saloon be closed at 10
o'clock at night, and that light be
placed SO as to expose the interior OF
the saloon to the view of parties pass
ing along the streets, and that the
view of such interior be kept unob-
structed during all day Sunday.
License should not be granted to
more than two saloons, and the char
acter of the applicants should be care
fully scrutinized, and license granted
to sober men of good character. We
would favor license of not less than
$3.50, and the higher above that mark
the better.
No pool, billiard or other game
tables, or devices should be permitted
in connection with the saloons.

A Chicago Fairy Talk About Cut
Rates.
THE MILLENNIUM REACHED
OR WOULD BE IF THIS TALE WE'RE
ONLY TRUE.
An Excursion to SaItafr Yesterday
in Honor of Judge Adams, of st.
Louis-The Price of Slack Coal
Raised-Latest BY Wire-L Deal
Notes.

CHICAGO, April 1S-The Evening
Post says: A new deal is reported to
have been entered into. between the
various railroad organizations through
but the country and the interstate
commerce commission, under which
cut rates are to become thing of the
past. Millions of dollars annually are
to be added to the incomes of the
roads.
The commission it is said is to drop
all proceedings against the roads for
breaches of the law committed prior to
the rendering of the supreme court S
decision in the Brown case and under
the supposition that the constitution
protected the roads and the officials
from furnishing evidence to convict
themselves. Both commission and
roads are to start out on a new career
of combined usefulness and enforce
ment and observance of the law. On
their part the roads undertake to stop
their determinations in favor of big
shippers, to treat all persons and
places alike and become agents Of the
commission in enforcing the law.

FAULFINDING.

Faultfnding is much easier than gen
erous appreciation. To find fault you
have only to stand off and point out
wherein the person or action or thing
fails to come up to your ideal, which,
by the way, may not be good one.
To appreciate requires a degree of in
sight and sympathy, and a search for
the point of view which discloses the
best qualities. If we were required to
name one thing which most con-
tributes to the happiness of household
life we should unhesitatingly select
the disposition on the part of the mem
bers of family to appreciate instead
of finding fault with each other; to
draw attention to the excellencies of
others instead of harping on their de-
fects. Such disposition is better than
money or beauty. 1t is a perpetual joy
to the possessor, and it brightens the
soul of every one who comes within
it's circles

of a barrel of gasoline in the Dauntless
bicycle factory tonight, the entire plant
was wrecked. AT 12:45 a. m. the alarm
was turned in and in fifteen minutes the
large building was wrapped in flames.
The fire started near the elevator and
quickly reached the assembling room on
the fifth floor where about 5000 bicycles
were stored. The fire was communicated
to the Toledo Machine and Tool works,
where many valuable patterns were
ruined. Many of them cannot be replaced.
Their loss will amount to $4,000 with in
surance at $4,000. In the Dauntless fac
tory there were 1000 finished wheels and
many fittings. A second explosion sup
posed to be enameling fluid, occurred at
130 a. m, which caused the rear and
side walls to fall. An engine had a mar
