information as to how to reach his
destination. While the routes were well
known, the details and conditions TO be
met with were not considered. Most of
the searchers for wealth hoped to set
tie ali doubts and uncertainties when
they reached Juneau. Instead. how
ever, further confusion was created by
the appalling statements that there
were only two routes, each of which
pecessdtated the encounter of app2r-
emily insurmount ia bic difficulties. There
were plenty Of advocates for both
routes at Juneau but most of them
were found to be interested parties. The
two starting points Dyea and Skagua,
are separated by four miles of salt
water. The Dvea trail goes over the
Chilkoot pass, which involves climb
of $500 feet. while the other. which is
not yet completed, has a 2,650-foot climb
over White pass. and besides being six
miles longer, is Doggy in places The

a mile and half from Skagu. A team

The hearing in The injunction case
before Judges Stowe and Collier was
perhaps one of the most important and
Interesting ever held in the federal
court. It was hearing in which both
capital and The rights Of labor were
interested, and the decision is expected
TO have q. telling effect on the conduct

There can be no question as to

London, Aug. 1.-THE Times has pub
lished two-column special article, to-
day, reviewing the effects Of closing
the Indian minis, in connection with
the visit of the American binetalIic
commission It says the closing saved
the Indian government from the losses
incident to a heavy fall in exchange,
and consequently from a disastrous in
crease in the burden Of its gold obliga-
tons 1t is undoubtedly true that it
also helped to keep down the gold value
Of silver bullion, but may not the
question be raised whether the low
price of silver is necessarily disastrous
to India which purchased it so
largely? Since 1893 India. has been the
only real wholesale customer for gil-
order.
The delicate adjustment of the reIa-
tive prices Of the rupee and silver for
merry existing has been rudely shat
tered by recent events. Since 1896 the
rupee has risen and silver has fallen.
The fact is the forces now acting upon
the price of silver have become too
tremendous to be dominated by such
delicate influences as preceded the de-
J j
pans adoption of the gold standard.
These events have proved causes too
potent to be withstood
The article, in concluding. says:
The closing of the minis was justi-
fed, and all that is now needed to
bring a great experiment TO a success
ful ending is a little courage as we'll

ciers of the Jldian empire. at the same

with bimetallism. This Irritation. which
seems so innocent and innocuous, has
already cost them dearly. But for that
the government would have assented
70 the closing of the minis long before
1898"
The article comments on the Char
acteristic rudeness and holiness of
American diplomacy in sending a, BIZ
metallic commission to effect a re-
opening of the Indian mints, while at
the same time dealing the worst pos
sible blow at British commerce by pass
ing the Dingley tariff"
1T is clearly impossible" says the
writer, ito treat seriously a commission
which argues that unless we do some
thing for silver, in the election the
United States will return Mr.. BRYAN
to the White House to the lasting in
jury of British interests.
1T is not certain that Mr.. Bryan Will
be elected. It is not even certain that
if he were elected we would suffer
more than we should feel a new Nc
Kinley with another Mckinley act.
Moreover, British investors in Ameri-
can securities have time before the
next Presidential election and before
the crash to get rid of them.
"One thing is certain. We would be
very foolish to do anything for silver
Even should the United States and
France agree to adopt bimetalhSTn and
England to reopen the Indian minis.
it would only bolster up silver for a
brief space, to fall again TO its proper
market price, SO that Indian finances
would be in a position as bad as be-
fore, if not worse than before"

appeared for the defendants. AffidaviE
on which the preliminary Injunction
was issued was made by William z. De

Cleveland Coal company. and set forth
that his employees were under con-
tract: that the terms were mutually
satisfactory, and that both parties We're

by marching, encampment and other
methods, prevented many of the men
from carrying out their part of the
agreement, 1t also rectted the COM

When court opened, Mr.. Schoyer flied
a motion to make the preliminary in
junction permanent. MI. Brennan made
a counter motion to dissolve it.
Judge Stowe decided both motions

OF the strikers and their camps. and
said that 200 or 500 men had told Sim

The reports made to the board were
informal, as it is not able to proceed
with business in the absence of the
Custer county report
The demand of'the Cassia county cat
tie men for an advance in the rate of
assessment of sheep to something like
50 head brought a delegation of
sheep owners before the board. The
board was addressed by Robert Chat
tin of Mountain Home. He stated that
sheep would bear an increase, but not
as much as had been proposed. The
standard of value for sheep for such
purposes was the value of yearling
wethers. These are worth now from
$125 to $1.75, and he asked that the
assessment be fixed somewhere between
these figures.
William Evans of Castle Creek said
the value of stock sheep was about
$165.
The board adjourned to 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning.
Mr. Turner, deputy auditor of Ban
mock county, stated to The Herald rep
resentative that the sheep grazing in
that county numbered about Sc, 600. For
months they had none at all. Their
returns showed 1868, the number be-
ing arranged for the time grazed. He
was willing to add 1000 sheep to that
number, but could not assess more
than that. The sheep owned in Ban
mock county wintered in Utah and had
their summer range in the Cariboo
mountains.
Treasurer Storer said the ventilation
of this matter had stirred people of
his county up and the assessor had sent
officers to hunt UP the sheep that had
not been taxed. Mr.. Storer thought
the number thus added to the assess
ment roll as a result of the action Of
the state board would be from 100000
to 10000 While Lincoln county re-
ported only six sheep, a supplemental
report was made, showing that $4,000
were in the county a portion OF the
year. the state board being left to add
tho r1,,onnr amount to the assessment.

ceived from Salt Lake City today:
when come TO examine closely the
present industrial and social and re-
ligious conditions Of this state, the ma
jority of whose quarter Of million of
people are Mormons, 1 am impressed
with two things. The first is that the
former things are done away with.
The conditions once maintained by
Mormons are passing away. Po1ygamy,
the worst of the Mormon social evils,
is not yet dead, but it is dying. 1 am
surprised to find how nearly dead
it is.
II found Governor Wells busy in his
Office in his bank. I said to him, as

What is your view on bimetallism,
with or without international agree
ment?'
Il favor bimetallism, either with or
without International agreement No
permanent prosperity will ever come
to the country until silver is remone-
tized. Understanding that the present
administration is striving to procure an
international agreement, and that there
is g. likelihood of success. am willing

ALL PEOPLE WELCOMED.
edo you warmly welcome all up
right immigrants to Utah-GentiIes as
we'll as Mormons?'
:. The two things necessary to our
future prosperity are more people and
more capital. 1 certainly think Utah
would be standing in her own light not
to welcome well intentioned immi-
grants, whether MormonS or otherwise
The fact of the matter is, all those old
prejudices are absolutely done away
with. Utah is not hide bound. Our
people are broad minded, liberal and
progressive. In my inaugural address,
delivered q year age, | said: Utah
today stretches forth her arms and
beckons to the densely populated dis
tricts of the east to come out and
share her glories.' I am proud to say
that for several years our population
has been steadily increasing, the gold
discoveries at Mercur, 80 miles south
east of Salt Lake City, having brought
in a great many people and vast
amount of eastern capital.

the bitterness of the past is buried in
