We had one fellow, though, chap
who is now earning a salary of $4,000
a year, while his father receives the
largest salary of any man in the United
States, who was too much for even us.
We had a society in which the initia-
ton ceremonies were something fright
full. including, among other pleasant
features, a coffin in which the initiate
was buried. That is. we put him in it
and nailed on the lid there were air
holes in it that he did not know about
and then with ropes we let him down
through the floor to the next floor
where we had pile CT ashes which
were shoveled onto the coffin in a way
that was really blood-curdling to the
man inside.

came, which was Saturday night. he
was what he was every Saturday night
so full that he couldn't come to the
scratch. We looked for him, but failed
to find him, and the opportunity
passed. but not for long. About l
o'clock in the morning he was seen
Keeling up-stair to his room. and
thither we followed him. carrying the
coffin along. He was so full that he
didn't know anything, and by the
time we got into his room after giving
him what we thought was time to get
into bed, he was sound asleep.

on Thursday, Mr.. obray was sliding

knot on the log struck the spike, the
other end of which struck Obray' S

companions picked him up he was I'M
conscious and the entire right side of
his skull was crushed in. The physi-

tirely unexpected. He was in his usual
health and spirits up to Sunday noon,
when he contracted a heavy cold that
turned into pneumonia and resulted in
his death. Up to yesterday no danger
was unprecedented, but then Mr.. Steele
told those about him that he was 60

his wife, who was in Chicago, be mott
fed. and that his remains be inferred
in Salt Lake City. He sank rapidly
and his own words were fulfilled as at
the hour given he passed away. His

word from her is awaited before dispo-

The case of Jeppesen VS.. Jeppesen,
which was decided today in favor of
defendant. has been watched with great
interest by people of this city ever
since the suit was begun last wear. It

CHARGED her husband with non-support,
cruelty and many other things that
people who were acquainted with the
young man did not believe. but thought
that the proceedings were more the
result Of an interfering mother-in-law
than any real desire on the part of the
wife to leave her husband. Hence the
decision Of judge Hart refusing to
grant the divorce is looked upon as
being entirely just and right.

VALUABLE CONCESSION.
Secured BY Ogden Parties For De-
veIOpment of Idaho Arid Lands.

Secured BY Ogden Parties For De-
velOpment OF Idaho Arid Lands.
An important development concerning
an enterprise in which Ogden people are
the prime movers leaked out yesterday
when it was learned that the American
Falls Canal and Power company had Sc
cured a grant from the state of Idaho on
1900 acres of land. Such a transaction
is made possible by recent legislation. the
first step of which was the enactment by
congress of the law known as the Carey
law. This law set aside 10000 acres
OF lana IN 6acn OF certain states for the
use OF those states, provided they decided
to avail themselves of the oner. The
cnle1 conditions attached TO the grant
We're that the land, being desert land,
should be irrigated. The state of Idaho
accepted this grant and this Ogden COM

land in the Snake river country in the
vicinity OF Blacktoot, Ida The applica-
ton was TO the state board OF lana COM
misSlonerS ana has just been accepted.
by the conditions of the grant the COM
pany has i've years in which 10 geu water
on the land. The officers feel confident
that they can do SO in half that time, as
ALREADY considerable work has been done
in the way of taking out a canal from a
point eight miles above the city of Black
foot. Most of the land is farming land,
but like the entire Snake river country
Hour gold. Miners familiar with the
region told a Herald reporter yesterday
that the placer fields up there can be ad-
Yantageously worked if worked on a large
scale, but the present method of running
only small streams OF water through
them yields little more than wages.
Ii IS, however, the Importance of the
enterprise as an agricultural rather than
as mining scheme that impresses most
people. The company securing this grant
ana known as the American Fails Canal
and Power company is composed mostly
OF Ogden men, The officers with the ex-
ception of Mr.. Head, who is. now a resi-
dent Of Preston, Ida, though formerly
The officers are: Moroni Skeen, president
and general manager; s. II. Head, vice
president; j. j. Brummit, secretary; W. M.
Bostaph, chief engineer and assistant
general manager. 1t is estimated that
$500, 600 will be required to make the i'm
proVements demanded by the conditions
of the grant. The members of the COM
pany were quite reicent about the
scheme yesterday and seemed somewhat
disappointed that the facts had leaked
out They stated. however, that the grant
had been secured and that work on the
canal would commence next spring. The
company will charge settlers a certain
fee per acre, which will apply toward the
payment for an absolute water right for
the owner, the company having no con-
troll after all payments are made.
The company did about 900 worth of
work, completing about twelve miles of
the canal as an independent enterprise,
hut secured the grant as an extra com
pensation, not thought of before the
carey law was passed.

ANENr THE DEADLOCK.

Mayor Spencer stated yesterday that
he would send some nominations to the
council tomorrow night but gave no ink
ling as to what positions he would seek to
fill or what persons he would name for
office; nor did he say whether he would
present again any OF the names rejected
last week. Much speculation is rife as
to whether the deadlock Will be broken

lieans would all stand together unless
some concessions were made to their
side Richard Hill, the Republican coun-
Gilman. who last week voted with the
Democrats, was seen by a Herald re-
porter and informed of the mayors in
tention to make some nominations He
SAID that he knew nothing whatever of
the mayors plan but intimated that he
would vote with his party unless his
party got the concessions to which he
thinks it is entitled. Mr.. Jones, the Demo-

appears probable, all stand together, his

CHICAGO GENERAL MARKET.

Chicago, Jan. 1S.-Wheat was de-
cidedly the leader today, interest in
provisions having died away to a con-
siderable extent. The temper of the
wheat market was a very uncertain
one at first, however, for after a sud
den squirt at the opening from 601s for
May up to SOS, it hung back and fell
again to 60A before an hour of the
session had passed. The business was
largely local, but there was some buy
ing orders from St. Louis as the price
was going up, and selling orders from
New York when 1t was on the fence
around COZ @605s. The New York sell
ing orders and the letting go of con-
siderable lines of long wheat by local
bulls brought out the reaction referred
to above. But the market absorbed all
the wheat offered during the decline,
and was again up to 6Q1s by II o'clock.
The second bulge did not stop until
60A @60B had been paid, and after that
experience the short sellers evinced
disposition to act with more circum-
spection than they did on the first rise
The market got it's chief strength from
the growing apprehension that the sit
uation was shaping for another scare
The report that British squadron was
on its way to this country caused
alarm among shorts. and there was
active covering and good investment
buying, while there was NOT much
wheat for SALE The danny rainy
weather in this section and Eae cold
wave following closely upon it caused
some apprehension of damage and was
also an important element in creating
the bullish feeling which became so
universal in the last hour of the ses-
sion. The price here rose to SIC about
twenty minutes from the close, and
was still bringing 60M when the clos
ing bell sounded. a heavy business
was done.
Corn was fairly active and firm in

NEW YORK, Jan 1S.-The Financer this
week says: The statement of the asso-
ctated banks of New York city for the
week ending January IS reflects the con-
traction which has been going on for the
past month and incidentally the prepara-
tons which are being made to meet the
new bond issue.
Money continues to flow to this center
without Interruptions and the movement
resulted in a gain of over s.. 100000 for the
week just ended. The advance in ex-
change rates at several western points
is an indication that New York funds
are in stronger demand The liquidation
which has resulted in the past months,
or since the first noticeable effect of the
Venezuelan scare may be estimated when
1t is stated that the contraction in loans
of the New York clearing house banks
has been fully S45 900 and the total is
now the lowest since the previous panic.
The gain in cash as reported in the state
been generally assumed, as an inevitable
result of the bond loan that stringency
in the money market would be felt next
month. but a prominent New York presi-
dent received a telegram a day or two
since from Secretary Carlisle, in which
the letter gave assurances that not the
slightest fear need be felt in that re-
gard, and that the treasury would eXer-
else its utmost power and authority to
prevent such a contingency.
