New idea In Railway Tracks.

The annoyance of wheels slipping on
tracks. especially in up grades, and the
tremendous resistance experienced have
led to new invention. The rail is pro-

cogs are set On diasonally, inclinipg

Her Lover With a Loaded

Fred Potter Of u Salina street has found
out the truth of the saying that the course
OF true love never runs smooth.
He and Hilda Lind, who lives next door
to him, have been keeping company for
some time. Hilda is 16 years of age and
Fred is 21. Last Monday, while the lovers
were Walking along the beach at the Cliff
House, HiIda rushed into the breakers
and was pulled ashore in bedraggled
condition by Fred. She was taken to the
life-s saving station until the patrol wagon
arrived, when she was driven to the City
Prison and taken charge of by Mrs. Gil
more, the matron.
Hilda explained that her reason for
seeking a watery grave was because her
mother and brother objected TO her keep
ing company with Fred. On Tuesday
morning she had become more sensible,
and on giving her mother a promise that
she would not again attempt to end her
life she was taken home.
Yesterday morning Fred appeared in

REDIsTRICTING SCHOOLS.

Deputy superintendent Stone Wants to
Promote Harmony Among Principals.
Deputy Superintendent Stone has begun
the arduous task of redistricting the City
for school purposes.
He believes it will promote harmony
among principals and teachers, con
venience of parents and children and gen.
orally avoid confusion if the lines that
divide districts be more closely drawn.
To that end he has issued circulars to the
principals asking them to state the boun-
diaries of their districts as they understand
them to exist.
Wherever the interests of schools seem to
conflict he will call conference of the
principals and adjust the difference as far
as possible for the welfare of all. He
pointed out to CALL reporter yesterday
that some of the schools, notably the Pa
citic Heights, Pacific Av nue. and South
Cosmopolitan, are far from the center of
their districts. This works hardship 10
some of their patrons.
Mr.. Stone will so re-establish tn e
boundaries, conforming those of the dis
tricts of the primary TO the gramm al
schools, that the primary shall act as di-
rect feeders to the higher-grade schools.

Railroad. eve had one BOOM, continued
the gentleman, land it was sufficient to
last US for all time. Every one knows now
that any boom is bad, and all we want is a
healthful condition of trade and that
natural progress which is incident to it.
''This we are now getting in Salt Lake
Business has improved great deal during
the last several months. There has been
nothing sudden about it, but it has been
in such way that we could notice it.
Salt Lake is now getting on very good
basis.
"The new mining district at Mercer,
which at first good many people thought
wasn't of much consequence, is developing
some good mines. 1t is about twenty
m lies from Salt Lake. The cyanide pro-
cess has been introduced there, and by
this means the ore is paying quite WE'LL
1t ls gold ore. 1t is all gold about there.
Then, in the Tintic district which
almost joins the Mercur, there are some
very handsome developments. Among
the big mines there is the Cen tennial
Eureka, which is paying handsome divi-
dends. For several months it has been
paving 81 share a month to the stock
holders. There are 10000 shares, and
a very few shares. The owners re all
men over fifty years old. They've got
enough and would just as soon retire, so the
mine is for sale.~ l understand they ask
$3,000,0o0 for it.
"rhe Bulion-Beck mine, in Tintic, is
paying dividends, too. There is lot of
work being done in and around there.
'The famous Ontario mine, at Park City,
is paying SO well that there has been
great change in the price of the stock. Not
long ago it was worth from 81 to 81 so
share. Now it is $l3 and $l4 The On
tario paid a dividend not long ago. The
Silver King, also at Park City, is paying
dividends, too.
There is new railroad being projected
from Salt Lake TO the Deep Creek coun-
try and south. 1t is the Utah and Pacific,
and it is the intention to begin work on
the road soon.
1--WE have had our new State clothes on
for so short time that we hardly know
yet how they fit. However, we are doing
some work that will be of value. The first
Legislature which met in January closed
its session on April 6, after passing some
needed laws. Utah is all right now. We
feel that we are in good shape to go for
ward in very prosperous way"

ASSQ on yGhTS, lNOuluS anu QdyS.
This is the simple record given in the
old family Bible of the birth and decease
of one who has seen the struggle for the
possession of California, viewed with
anxious eyes the invaders triumph and
the American flag floating proudly over
the conquered land, saw the victorious
generals march up and down the land in
all the pomp and pageantry of the con-
queror, became resigned to the change of
of government and ''liveo happily ever
after"
When one of the pioneers leaves the
scenes of his earthly exploits the fact is
duly given to a sympathetic public. but
here is one who had attained womanhood
in the land of the Golden Fleece ere the
Jasons came in quest of it.
The 9th day of December. 1915, out in a
building of the old Mexican fort, which
stood where the Preside is now, in what
is now used for an armory, Jesues Her
nandez was ushered into the world. Her
childhood's years were spent mostly IN
the company of her brothers and sisters,
of whom she had eleven. Her only tutors
were her godfather and her godmother.
OF the broader knowledge which comes of
travel and much reading she had &C
quired none, but OF the events which are
ever interesting to the Californian-the
troublesome times ofthe Mexican War, the
excitement following on the heels of the
discovery of gold in 1848, and life in gen.
eral as it was lived in Yerba Buena and
viclnity-her MIND was vast store house.
She was both christened and married in
the old Mission Dolores Church, which
still stands on Dolores street, between
Sixteenth and Seventeenth. Her marriage

region OF the old City Hail." said Jose NJ.
Miramontez, the Oldest surviving son,
"and have often heard my mother relate
how tie Spanish families, living in the
vicinity, used to congregate round this
well and discuss the occurrences OF the
day. twas about this time that the In
dians up on Russian River began 10 give
trouble, and my father, who was all officer
in the Mexican army at the time, was
ordered up there. They met the Indians
and defeated them in the region of the
present city Of Sonoma. AS they were
returning, before the men embarked in
their small skiffs at Tiburon for this City,
my fathers musket was discharged while
he was leaning on it and his hand was dis
figured forever"

with people. You know at that time the

BUT ONE MORE CHARGE,
R. H. Mcdonald Jr. Is Again
Acquitted in the Superior
Court.
His Bail Reduced to Two Thousand
Dollars on the Last
Action.

R. II. Mcdonald Jr. is within touch of
freedom. He has been acquitted of what is
recognized as the last charge against him
and the end of his prosecutions will prob
ably be on Saturday.
The charge upon which he has just been
acquitted is for doing away with note for
$4,000. signed by Henry w. Westpha, and
indorsed by G. o. Swanberg. 1t was de-
posted in the Peoples Home Savings
Bank and in return Mcdonald was given
a letter of credit on the Pacific Bank. The
Pacific Bank failed, however, and as the
letter OF credit was useless the note was
returned to Westphal. For returning this
note Mcdonald, in common with A. L.
Jenkins and others, was indicted for en-
bezzlement.
]. Z. Farnham, manager of the Peoples
Home Bank, and l.. E. Phillips, it's attor-
uey, were the only witnesses on the stand.
They told the story of the disappearance
of the note on direct examination, and on
cross-examination they explained the
transaction. When this aspect of affairs
had been shown Carroll Cook, McDonald's s
attorney, asked that the Judge instruct
the Jury to acquit, as it had been shown
that the transaction had taken place on
the advice OF the banks attorney and with
out criminal intent. The Assistant Dis
trict Attorney made but little opposition
to the motion and finally agreed that the
court deliver such an instruction.
1t was not exactly an instruction to ac-
quit. The court advised the jury that the
Transaction was not in any way criminal
but he said it rested with the III ors to saw
whether or not they would hear the re-
mainder of the case or render verdict at
once. They preferred to md at once, and
cordingly.
Cook then asked the court to dismiss
the TWO indictments for embezzlement
which are now hanging over Mcdonald
They were both defective, and others were
filed in their places. Upon these substi-
tutes Mcdonald was tried and acquitted.
Cook wanted the court to dismiss them.
The Assistant District Attorney demurred
however, and the court therefore laid them
over until Saturday. Judge Bahrs said
Mcdonald could plead an acouittal in
each case should he be tried on the indict
ments, and he therefore dismissed the bail
attaching 10 them.
The ONLY other charge now pending
against Mcdonald is one of perjury for
swearing to false annual statement. This
was tried once before Judge Murphy and
the trial resulted in a disagreement. It
will come up on Saturday to be set. The
District Attorney is not very sanguine as 10
the result should it ever come to trial. The
bail for this charge was reduced to $1,000
and that represents the amount OF bail
which now separates Mcdonald from lib
erty.
Mcdonald is not troubling himself about
his bail, small as it now is. II am nor
looking for it," he says. ''Some one of nv
friends NAV come forward now and put Il
up but at this moment have not thought
of the matter. l don't suppose that any
thing will be done until Saturday anyway
