MILLER's GREAT PULL.
Grand Army Veteran Turned Down
at Far1nin gton.

Pennington, Nov. 22-The announce
ment in The Herald yesterday morn
ing that Mrs. Lucy A Clark had re-
ceived the appointment as postmaster
here occasioned no surprise among
those who knew of Glen Millers po-
litical pull, for it has been an open Sc
cret for q week or more that Mrs.
Clark was endorsed by the marshal.
This appointment serves to emphasize
Miller's power at the capitol, for the
successful candidate had opposed to
her an army veteran in the person of
Leonidas II. Kennard, and it was
thought probably that with his army
record and any number of local en-
dorsers to fall back upon. Mr.. Ken
nard would make successful run
That was the feeling until Marshal
Niller's endorsement of Mrs. Clark was
made public, and then all there was to
do was TO await the announcement of
the lady's appointment.
The new appointee is a lady of abil-
ity, and she has been prominently be-
fore the public for some years. Last
fall she ran against Quill Nebeker for
the state senate. At the opening of
that campaign she announced herself
as a Mckinley Republican and de-
clared for gold
Miss Clara Sanders, the retiring post
master, has been a most efficient and
accommodating officer The postoffice

Ashley Y alley.

Vernal Express: Although Ashley
valley shows the near approach of
winter, it still retains the signs of be-
ing one of the best agricultural por-
tions of Utah.
The fields, which bear evidence of
producing rich harvests the past sea-
son, and the comfortable farm houses
are signs of the farmers thrift and
industry.
Nowhere in the west can be found
a spot that equals ASHLEY valley for
it's varied resources. The agricultural
resources are not the only ones we
can boast of. There is coal and as
phaltum in abundance, and in the
neighboring mountains, gold, silver,
copper, lead and iron are found in
quantities that will make the owners
of mines and prospects that are now
being developed wealthy men when
the iron horse makes its appearance in
Uintah county. The seekers of homes
cannot do better and need to seek no
further than Ashley to locate. Our
climate and soil cannot be beat.

But Little Damage Done to the
Great Northern.


Seattle, Wash. Nov 22.-The inter
ruptions to railroad traffic caused by
the recent storm are being gradually
overcome, and it is expected to have
things restored to their normal condi-
ton in a day or two. AS the waters
subside it is ascertained that the re-
ports of damage done to the Great
Northern railroad have been greatly
exaggerated. The washouts have been
so Tar repaired as to admit of the run
ming of all coast trains. General West
ern Passenger Agent Stevens today re-
celved a dispatch from General Super
lntendent Harding, to the effect that
the main line would be open by We'd
nesday From that date all trains will
be run or schedule time. The west
bound Northern Pacific overland ar
rived today few hours late.
The Seattle and International train,
which left at noon, is reported to have
reached Sumas without difficulty.

SEBASTIAN TICKET.
Interchangeable Mileage Has Al
ready Become Very Popular.

Chicago, Nov. 22.-The new form of
interchangeable mileage ticket issued
by the western roads is proving very
popular The Sebastian ticket was
placed on sale Nov. 10 and %. and %. 600
tickets were printed. as it was thought
that this would be sufficient for the
demand that would be made. This
number is exhausted, however, and an
other 25,G00 has been ordered. The
western roads declare that they will
reduce still further the rates between
Chicago and Colorado points. if it
should prove necessary, to maintain
their traffic against the competition of
steamship lines and the southwestern
roads doing business at the Gulf of
Mexico ports. 1t has become a serious
matter for some of the roads, and they
have seen during the last three months
very large amount of tonnage 20
through the Gulf of Mexico which
otherwise they would have handled.

A STRAY SHOT.
The Deposition of Mrs. Helen NJ. Ross
Taken yesterday.


There is a temporary lull in the Spen-
Ger case, but stray shot from the ranks
of the defendants forces was fired yes
terday.
Mrs. Helen M. Ross, one of the wit
nesses for Mrs. Anna Spencer, was about
to leave Southern California, and SO her
deposition was taken yesterday in de-
partment four Her testimony was short
and did not cover any other ground real
ly than had been covered in the earlier
stages of the case.
The witness stated that she had
known the Spencers since 1882, and every
few days Mrs. Spencer would visit her
or she would call upon her friend. In
her opinion, Mrs. Spencer was at all
times a devoted and affectionate wife.
Upon one occasion she RENE mbered that
Mrs. Spencer was sick, and she had a
conversation with Mr.. Spencer, during
which he said that his wife was much
disturbed by the trouble in which she
was involved, referring to the Newton
damage suit. He also spoke of Mrs.
Newton as one of the worst women he
ever saw and that she had done nothing
but blackmail and abuse his wife since
the institution of the suit
Referring to the letters filed in the
case, witness said that Mr.. Spencer had
stated that the letters were all of a busi
ness nature, sent by Mr.. Newton to Mrs.
Spencer. He said that they came to the
house while Mrs. Spencer was at the
ranch, and consequently that he re-
ceived them and was thoroughly well
acquainted with their contents.
In conclusion the witness said the
Spencers appeared to live happily to-
gether and Mr.. Spencer was bright and
cheerful.
