Has stopped Grading indefinitely.

Rumor That the Salt Lake & Pacific
Has stopped Grading Indefinitely.
The Salt Lake & Pacific graders are
ager Clayton's order which was issued
Saturday, directing that construction
operations cease until further notice.
The order arose, as stated in Sundays
Herald, out of difficulties with the
Stockton people and certain property
owners along the line. over right of
way matters, etc, and no more work
will be done until those differences are
adjusted. 1t is not, expected, how
ever, that the graders will be idle long
er than this week, as it was learned at
the company's headquarters in the
Nauvoo building. that right of way
agent George C. Lambert has practic-
ally arrived at a settlement with the
people who undertook to back out of
their agreement with the company
which will enable the work to be re-
sumed in very few days.
It was rumored on the street yester-
day that the company had changed
its plans and would not now build to
Deep Greek. and although it was not
so stated, that was the real reason for
stopping the work. the company hav-
ing come 10 an Understanding WIFI lHe

ing further would be done on the Deep
Creek project until the result of Cen
eral Manager Dickinson's trip to that
country was known and it was settled
whether or not the Short Line would
be extended there after the reorgan-
ization.
1t was further street rumor that
the Utah and Pacific Improvement
company, which took the contract for
grading the line and sublet it to Wat
son Bros, would at once transfer the
grading outfit to Milford and begin
operations ON the Utah and California
| line.

II comes with bad grace for the Gov
ernor to give credence to the fancies
of the eeditor of the Little Rock
Press. Does the Governor expect
the public to believe that his
friends ave embelished with wings,
while his adversaries are adorn-
ed with a tail? Admitting, for the
sake of argument, that Senator Jones
friends are guilty of fragrant abuses Of
the "free ballot and IA fair count" idea
(which, however. we do not begin to
believel, is it not likely that the Gov
ernor's friends are equally as culpable?
1t has ever been one of the results of
political serambles, that the defeated
candidate believed himself to have
been the choice of the electors, aud
failing to get the nomination or in
struction,. he naturally thinks he has
been swindled. 1t is a pity the Cover

and keep mum. Few people believe
otherwise than that the Governor was
fairly beaten, and it is toe, bad that the
party which has honored him in the
past should be rewarded by an act of
his which is calculated to cast Il stigma
upon it. He should never again ask
the Democratic party for political pre-
ferment. If he does, lie will not re-
