Governor Wells, in reply, said:
1t is fitting that the pubic senti-

DBsERET NEWS COMMENTS.
OF the flag raising the Deseret News
last evening said editoriany:
1t was an appropriate thought given
expression by The Salt Lake Herald
today in its unfurling of the stars and
stripes from Ensign peak. The cir
cumstanceS were such that to have de-
ferred the event some days, to the ex-
act fiftieth anniversary of the first
raising of the flag on that mountain
top, would have postponed the event
till most of the Jubilee visitors had
gone, and they would have lost the
impressiveness of what really was an
occurrence of special import in the his
tory of Utah; hence it was much pre-
ferable to do this anniversary flag
raising on the day which commemor-
ates the original advent of the pioneers.
From that date this was American
soil, although it still was claimed by
Mexico, the entrance of the pioneers
being, in fact, a formal taking posses
sion of it on behalf of the United
States This was the sentiment of the
pioneers themselves, for more than
year previous their brothers of the
Mormon battalion had left for the west
with the design of aiding in securing
to the United States the whole of its
present western domain. The stars and
stripes never waved more proudly over
a land of the free and home of the
brave than it did in this valley in
1S47, or than it does on Ensign peak
today.
Two days after President Brigham
Young came into the valley, on Mon
day, July 26, 1S47, Brigham Young, He
Der c. Kimball, MILFORD Woodruff and
others of the pioneers assembled the

ANOTHER BATTLE WITH RUST
LERS IS EXPECTED.
Foreman Devine Seems to Be Proof
Against Outlaw Bullets-Will
Avenge the Death of Their Leader.



Casper, Wyo., July 24.-More cowboys
engaged in '>Hole-in-the-Wan' battle with
outlaws arrived here today from the
scene and confirm the first report of the
affair. 1t seems that the three rustlers,
Bob Taylor, Bob and Al Smith. all singled
out Bob Devine. the plucky foreman OF
the ''Cy. Y. outfit, as the bullets rained
around him ike hail, and the cowboys
regard it as miraculous that he was not
killed. Jim Drummond, the Montana
stock inspector, was with the cowboys.
1le men report that the 'HOIe-in-the-
Wall is full of rustlers and fears are
entertained here that they will organize
and sweep the ranges. They seemed to
be greatly excited with rage over the
deatn of their leader. Bob Smith, and
nave sworn vengeance on the stOckmen
and cowboys.
Old punchers who know many of the
ruStlerS say the end is not yet and fear
long and bloody war in Natrona and
Johnson counties between the outlaws
anu big cattle outfits. The latter have
sworn ito make their roundup and vii.
send large forces of armed men against
the outlaws. The authorities seem power
less or afaid TO take any action. Another
battle is expected at any time. as there
are several roundup outfits on the plains
IN the vicinity of the Hole-in-the-Wa
rendezvous.

Improving Canals.

I. E. Spaulding and William Bybee
leave tomorrow for East Canyon creek
to begin on some development work
for the Weber & Davis County Canal
company. AT present the work out
lined is putting in some headgates, but
it is said that system of reservoirs
to store water for the dry season is
under consideration.
The indications are that consider
able amount Of work in this line will
be done ere long. During the months
of July and August water runs low in
a number of the important canals, the
Roy and Hooper canals running dry
at times. The residents of these places
are said to be considering plans for
storing water to supply them during
those two months.

Heaviest On -.ecord.
The travel from Ogden to Salt Lake
during the past week has been the
heaviest in the history of the city
Each day the numbers increased stead
ily until the crush about the depot
exceeded anything seen even during
the Christian EndeavOr travel. Yes
terday was by all odds the most re-
markable day of the week. Train load
after train load went out bearing hun
dreds of visitors to the capital city.
and still the crowds about the depot
seemed to increase in size as the time
for making up the next train arrived.
The early morning trains were the
most crowded. The Union Pacific went
out in four sections and the Rio Grande
Western did not lack for business. a
constant stream of ticket buyers
seemed before the window nearly all
day. In spite of the fact that the
crush exceeded anything in the expec-
tations of the officials, the crowds were
handled in good style.
And now is a good time for Ogden
people to resolve to have celebration
that will bring people here as the Ju-
bilee has brought people to Salt Lake
Ogden has a wealth of resources and
should utilize them. A grand electrical
display should proclaim TO the world
the greatest power plant system in the
world, and even if such a display is
not made until next Fourth or july,
it is none too early to prepare.

JUBILEE NOTES.

The praises of the great parade

that most people imagined it would be
and it passed off without any accident
or hitch worthy of note, notwitha,and-
ing the many tens of thousands who
witnessed it and the consequent dense
crowding of the streets through whiSil
it passed.
At the close of the parade a little
mishap occurred to the sego lily float CIR
Brigham street near the Eagle gate by
which some of the decorations were
thrown off the float, but none of the
pretty little girls who occupied it were
injured, and the procession was delayed
only few minutes.

iaps they did. but at the hour of going
to press the fireworks had not exploded.
However. there was a whole lot OF
other stuff following. which took the
attention of the people. and as the ball
looms were above Pennington when
last seen. doubtless the people up there
were edited by this display.
THE Dollar of our Daddies.' with the
date '1S4I.' evoked cheers from the
crowd. 1t was a pretty display of the
dollar. and looked so natural that one
fellow selling lemonade actually want
ed TO change it.
The coat of arms of Utah. in all the
original colors, was by far the showiest
piece. and Edwards and Jackson. the
designers of the same, experienced a
thrill of pleasure as the bright hues
appeared. By this it is not meant to
state that Edwards and Jackson de-
signed the fireworks. but the state coat
Of arms.
ISL 1881 was another set piece
which caused expressions of admira-
ton.

beauty, appeared, with the angel Mo-
roni in golden fiaule. showed up on the
boards. then the enthusiasm was at its
height. Everybody took hand at ap-
plauding. and the noise was terrific.
FLOWER POTS.

During the display of the latter. one
of them exploded before it had attained

ensued was amusing in the extreme.

The Kicking Donkey" was a piece
which amused the little fellows. and
the big ones, too, for that matter 1t
was a neat conception. The fiery mule
bucked and kicked. and did all sorts of
things.
'Columbia's Triumph" was another
fine piece. the shield with the national
coat of arms surrounded by revolving
wheels of fire being the design. The
monkey on the bar was another funny
thing, and had a world of interest for
the little ones.
THE Niagara of Fire. was as mag
inficent a display as was ever seen
anywhere, although they are common
and simple of construction. The show
resembled a cataract of fire, accom-
panied by the natural roar of falling
water.
