DEBATE ON SHEEP.

Johnson's bill, making it a misde-
meanor to befoul the waters of any
stream well or spring of water used
for domestic purposes, was then called
up and passed.
Mr.. Evans suggested this bill was
against the interest of the sheep own
ers. and asked Senator Johnson if the
measure would not drive all the sheep
out of the state, to which Johnson re-
piled in the negative
Mr.. Evans said several sheep men
had asked him to vote against the bill
and that in his own judgment the old
law was ample. While he had been
against sheep men on account of the
tariff propositions offered, he thought
this law would injure the industry. He
would vote for the people as against
sheep, but thought there was room for
both There should be limitation, but
this would be too great a limitation.
The cattle men and sheep men have
been at war and justices of the peace
have stood in with cattle men to con-
Wet them. and it appeared this bill
was in line with such policy.
Mr.. johnson went into the history of
sheep and cattle pens on streams and
related all about the old sheep trouble
of 1888 and 1892. He said if it was a
case between the white people and
sheep he stood for white people.
"Win the senator permit a ques-
tion?" said Snow.
Yer, SIR
Does sthe senator know that Senator
Evans owns sheep?" 0aughter.)
Il don't herd 'em," responded Evans
Rideout opposed the bill and thought
perhaps it was in the interest of cattle
men.
Alfred favored it.
Mr.. Evans moved to amend the title
so as to read AN act to make it a mis-
demeanor to have sheep
Mr.. Smoot was inclined to think the
amendment good thing. The sheep

EVENING SESSION.

At the evening session the mining
bill was taken from the table and the
rules suspended and the same placed
for passage.
Mr. Rideout opposed the measure.
because the miners of Bingham
wanted it killed. The tendency to send
the money for recording claims to the
county seat was a bad one and should
not be permitted to obtain.
Mr.. Nebeker was of the opinion that
the money for fees would be turned
into the state treasury. 1t was init
mated by opponents of the bill that it
was a hardship to come to the county
seat to file notice of location. This
filing could be done by using the mails
Mr.. Rideout said the section provid-
ing for stalking claims in winter was
a hardship which ought not to be i'm
posed.
Harbour thought the bill would work
a hardship on prospectors, and thought
it was more IN the interest of mine
owners and prospective mine buyers
than any class. In some parts of the
Deep Creek district it is four days ride
to the nearest mail road, and 10 come
to the county seat of Tooele would be
indeed a great hardship.
Mr.. Evans said he had had objec-
tons to the bill because he thought it

CITY COUNCILS.

Senate bill 81. the act creating a state
board of public works, which was post
poned some days ago, came up for
action. Wright moved to strike out the
enacting clause and as may be ex-
pected, there was debate, led by Har-
bour, the father of the measure.
He declared the bin was drafted by
the delegates to the federation of trades
congress, the only body of organized
labor in the state and one which had
representatives from every labor union
in the state connected with it. 1t was
a bill in which laboring men were
greatly interested and one which
should pass. Why should the common
wealth have the contract system? The
contractor was a man who came be-
tween the laboring man and the state.
He received money which should be
paid to the men who do the work, or
which should belong to the treasury OF

ALBANY. Sept. 7.-St. Mary's Island In the st.
Lawrence River is the first land to DO purchased
by the State for the establishment OF the inter

and an equal distance on the Canadian side.
Many points along the river have been offered
to the commission, but they were held at such
high prices that the commission despaired OF
ever being able to acquire lands to the advantage
Of tho State.
AT q meeting Of the commission to-day 1t was
decided that the offer OF the Westminster Park
Association to part with st. Mary's Island for
O. 900 was u reasonable one and its acceptance
was authorized. Tho island Is ono Of the most
picturesque Of the river group, and is u mile
aud q half from Alexandria Ray and close to
the Canadian shore. President Barnet II. Davis
OF the commission says that other lands will be
purchased AS soon az owners OF lands along the
river front realize that the State will not pay
