THE UTAH PIONEER JUBILEE.
In Concentration of the Arrival of THE
Pioneers of t847."
Special Correspondence.

In preparing for the Pioneer
Jubilee, the Utah Semi Centennial
Commission is sparing neither
thine nor expense. The prelimi-
nary plans evidence, that the cele-
bration will be given Oh the great
est scale possible; that it will be
the grandest demonstration of a
peoples Joy and gratitude the west
has, ever Known, and that more
visitors. and distinguished men
will honor Salt Lake City with
their presence during jubilee week
than has yet been recorded In
terest in it is increasing daily.
The press Of the nation, almost
without exception, is giving the
jubilee attention and the num-
efous letters, received by the COM
mission daily attests the wide
spread interest now existing in it.
The most pleasing feature of the
programme will BE the reception
to.the pioneers. There are few
left OF the mem and women of
i, l8A7 and the boys and girls of that
year are now silver haired mea and
matrons, but those who are still on
this side of the veil will be sum
mOned from the corners of the
earth i'm ORDER that they may par
ticipate In the jubilee and with
eyes now dim with age see the
wonderful change time has wrought

first beheld it, was d barren and
parched plain traversed only by
Wild beasts and Indians

the country will be repeated, and
| the stirring scenes which marked
the presumption Of the valley will
be re-enacted by many of the
original participants. The recep-
ton which viii be given in the
Tabernacle to them will be m
event which will be marked down
in history as one OF the most mem
orable ever recorded in the nation.
The unwilling of the monument
of Brigham Young will also be an
incident which time will never
effaee from the Mormon Church.
The, attendant ceremonies will be
the most impressive description
and will be participated in by
Church dignitaries, civic officials
and distinguished men Of the
nation. President Mckinley will
be invited to take part.
A HALL OF RELICS.
It is possible that a Hall Of Rel
les will be established. The idea
originated with Chalrmon Clawson
of the commission and he is now
| exerting all his powers In bringing
the plan to fruition.
A COWBOYS TOURNAMENT.
A cowboys tournament will be
Of peculiar interest to the people
of the West. It will be participant
ed in by experts organized into
teams of ten or twenty, each team
representing western state. Rep
resentives of California, Oregon,
Idaho, Wyoming, Washington,
Montana, Colorado, New Mexico
and possibly Arizona, will be pres
ent and the tournament will last
five days. .CattIemen can receive

Justice Brewer. held that there was no
evidence of corruption or undue intlu
ence exercised over the patent office

there WAS no evidence that the delay in
granting the patent had been brought;
about by the company. Ii held that
whatever delay there had been was
