Some difficulty was experienced in the
first two months in establishing and en-
forcing needful rules and regulations to
make effective and practicable the mSpec-
ticn and permit service, but lattcrly no
friction has been encountered, and all
works smoothly and harmoniously. The
service is no longer regarded as a farce
that deserves no consideration, but as a
verify which means something.
From June y. 1897, to November 15. both
days included. there were l2I business days.
No business is done at the yards on Sun
days, and usually but a limited amount on
Mondays and Saturdays leaving the bulk
of the business to be transacted eacn week

MILFORD, Utah, April 1.-THE heavy
mining machinery for the Delama1
mines in Nevada being ready for setting
up was loaded on three wagons and
drawn by sixty horses. Going down
the canyon it was necessary to remove
all the horses excepting six. With q
rider for each horse and no chance o.
stopping under three miles the immense
load of %, 1000 pounds became unman-
ageable and went crashing down upon
the teams. The procession rushed down
the canyon at a terrific rate where not
a horse could make a misstep and live
a moment. After going a distance oil
three miles, in which the lives of six
men were in the greatest peril, the run
away was fortunately brought to q
standstill without damage.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL IA, 1872

Two OF the most ridiculous things OF
this absurd age are the advice gwen oy
the boilers in Virginia to the party they
deserted, in its hour of sore..tria!, to come
together and their threat to hold alooi
if it shall re.endorse the Chicago plat
form. They held aloof last November
and cast, all told, exactly 2,1N votes
for Palmer. Most of them are ashamed
of themselves for having done so, but
as it is human nature for men to hate
those they i~njure, they will prooaoiy
support the republican ticket next 1911
also. A deserter in one battle is likely
n desert in the next one. But if they
all should cast republican ballots next
November, the result of the election
would.not be affected in the slightest
degree, as their whole vote, compared
with the 155, 900 cast for the democratic
ticket, would amount to little or moth
ing. That the Virginia democratic con-
yention will endorse the Chicago plat
form is so plain that it goes without
saving.
