ILLEGAL INDEBTEDNESS.


Attorney General Bishop has given
an opinion to County Attorney Nell
Vile of Willard county, on the follow
ing:
I'm 1886 the county commissioners
negotiated a loan of nearly 5000 to pay
Tor maps for the assessors office. The
5000 was IN excess of the revenue for
that year. The obligation is now due
and demand is made for its payment.
No vote was had by the taxpayers of
the county authorizing the creation OF
the debt, Is the same a legal and
binding obligation upon the county?"
Calling attention to section . of arti
Gle II of the Constitution, section 3
chapter l3l Of the laws OF 1896, and
section 8 Of the same, the attorney
general says:
Assuming that your statement of
fact is correct, tO-wit, that the indebt-
odness in question was In excess of the
revenue for the year 1896, and that II
was not authorized by a proper vote Of
the taxpayers OF the county, then.

visions, supra, IL would be illegal and

which the above excerpts are taken did

brought up on remand today in COM
pany with the man named Weirzebeck,

had subsequently been arrested. An
discriminating article in the Marc do

In It, the writer declared that the
policy of the Russian revolutionists
was the same as that of terrorists of
twenty years ago, and pointed out that
Gear Nicholas had already ruled three
years at period when the revolu-
tionists campaign ought to be summed
up in the word ''regicide." If he had

Monument 10 Elder Paxman,

Nephi Republic: The announcement
by President Sperry last Sunday, in
regard to the erection of monument
to the late President Paxman was well
received by the people. The gentleman
stated that a committee had been
hard at work formulating plans to that
end, and the committee. before any,
thing further was done, desired to
know the sentiment of the people. The
unanimous passage of the motion to
raise the amount for that purpose
was a true indication of the respect
which the audience felt for the de-
ceased gentleman. In all his years of
work in the midst of the people of
this section, the late President Pax
man showed that he was worthy the
love and respect of the people over
whom he presided. His fatherly
manner of address. his kind words. and
his love for his fellow man and CO.
laborers has earned for him a monu-
ment which should stand to the end
of time over his mortal remains as a
lasting testimony of the greatness of
his life's work. We hope and trust
the people will respond literally to
the call for subscriptions in this di-
rection. and help the committee to
progress in the grand work which they
have started.

WEBER SUGAR FACTORY SITES.


Ogden Standards: The building of

success every section or locality in
Weber county sees some points of ex-
cellence in itself especially adapted for
site for such an enterprise.
Propositions are now coming in from
all over the county. Most of them are
verbal propositions made In a general
way with nothing specific about them,
but Plain City and Warren and Slater
Vile have seen fit to make bona fide
propositions which show that the citi-
Gems of each settlement appreciate the
great advantage of the near location of
such an enterprise, of such magnitude
and Intend to make II to the interest of
the stockholders to consider their
proposals.
Plain City and Warren together
make an offer of all the land required
free of charge up to 300 acres or more,
and offer to secure right of way, sur
vey and grade, the right of way for n
railroad from the Hot Springs. They
claim plenty of water can be secured
from the Pioneer canal. and the drain
age and waste can he carried off in the

UNCLE SAM NOR INTERESTED.
But Americans in China VIII be Pro-
tected.


Washington, Dec. 22.--It is under
stood that the authorities here have
been unofficially sounded as to the at
titude of the United States toward the
complications in the far-East with a
view to learning whether American
interests in China We're regarded as
sufficient to warrant any active step
by this government. 4 From what
sources the inquiries haze come, Is not
disclosed. If from Glfat Britain, 1t
must have come through Col. Hay, the
American ambassador, as the British
officials here have received no in
structions as to the Chinese situation.
1t is well understood however, that
Great Britain would look with favor ON
any active step by the United States
which would serve as check for the
advances of Germany and Russia. The
British interests in China are ten
times greater than those of Germany,
Russia and the United States, and yet
with Germany and Russia firmly To-
Gated on Chinese soil, Great Britain
is left in a sort of cul de sac. 1t Is
known also that the Chinese authori-
ties would welcome a movement by the
United States and that this has been
communicated to officials here. AL
though these sounding for they
amount to nothing more as yet, have
not taken official form, they have been
sufficient to gain pretty general un-
Outstanding as to the attitude of this
government. This, in brief, Is that
the United States has no interest in
territorial extension now going on in
China; that she will not land at any
of the coast ports of China as Germany
and Russia have done. and that her
only consideration is to guard estab-
llshed American interests in China.
These American interests appear to be
much greater than generally known.
There are the following American
treaty ports In China: Canton, Chez
Foo, Ching King, Foo chow Plong
Nankow, Hoi How Ichang, Kewkiang
Lung Chow. Mengstu. New Chang
Chow, Swallow, Tsin. Wenchow,
| Wuhu, and three other ports on the
West river of Canton, recently added
At each of these places there are
| American settlements and an American
may own property and try their civil
and criminal cases before their own
courts conducted by American con-
| suls.
Some of these American settlements
are quite extensive. At Shanghai. just
outside the walls of the city, the To-
cation occupies wide sweep of land.
| At these points also, the commercial
interests OF the United States are
large and are constantly growing.
They are the centers, too, for the Amer
lean missionary communities. For in
stance. at Canton. there Is the Amer
lean Presbyterian board with 90 mem
hers, theAmerican Baptist mission with
10 Representatives; the American board
of commissions for foreign missions,
with n large staff, and the American
Bible society. There are similar COM
munities scattered all through the en-
pre. They have considerable vested
property in these districts and the pro-
lection of their property and person
has always been closely looked after
by the United States.

sCROFULA
IL is Foul Blood's Advertise
ment
But It Is Soon Cured by Hoods
Sarsapariiia.

Yes, Scroiula, ifanything, may be called
the advertisement OF foul blood. 1t is the
SEQ .ge OF the world - offensive, painful,
facilitating, stubborn and well nigh
uncomfortable.
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emollients may palliate, they cannot
abolish the evil. There Is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the
faint from the blood.
There Is one remedy that can effect this,
and it is the only one that, so far as we
know, has almost invariably succeeded
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years OF faint, and the ravages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
Is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read this:
"My daughter was afflicted with I'M
pure blood. There were running sores
all over her body and they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines that
were recommended as blood purifiers,
but could not see that they did any good.
A friend told me about Hoods. Sarsapa-
rilia and began giving the girl this med
icine. The result was that she was per-
fectly cured after taking few bottles.
She has had no symptoms OF scrofula
sores since that time" MARIETTA M.
