Jubilee Notes.

The Jubilee commission spent sew
eral hours last evening in auditing 200
to 500 bills. Another meeting will be
held this evening, and the members of
the commission urgently request all
persons having bills against the COM
mission to present them today, as some
of the commissioners are expecting 10
leave the city soon, and they desire to
wind uD the affairs of the Jubilee as
soon as possible and publish a full
financial statement.
1t is understood that a number of
prominent merchants in the city are
arranging 10 give a. banquet to the Jub-
lice commissioners.
Negotiations are still in progress to
sell some of the floats used here last
week to the commissioners in charge
of the coming celebration at Boise City.
It is also probable that two floats will
be sent to Colorado Springs for a cele-
bration there. The floats which are not
otherwise disposed OF will be stored for
use at subsequent celebrations.
The offer of $1,000 TO the California
Fire Works company in full settlement
for the display given on Capitol Hill
last Saturday night, has been accepted

SEVERAL MINING MEN ANxI-

This Rush, With the Tourist Travel
to Alaska, VIII Garry a Great
Many People to the North-Some
of Those Who Are Going.

There is every indication that Utah
Will have quite a representation of
tourists and goldseekers en- route to
Alaska within a very short time. The
Klondyke gold fever is very much in
evidence here and the local Office Of
the Oregon Short Line is being be-
sieged with inquirers who want to
know something of the country and
OF the means of getting there.
THE FIRST STEAMER.
Mr.. l.. ]. Kyes, the city ticket agent
of the Short Line, is obliged to inform
all applicants that the first steamer
which can be depended upon to take
passengers from here to the new gold
fields is the George W. Elder, which
will leave Portland on Aug. Is, and
sail for Juneau and Dyea. It will be
necessary to secure passage early as
the berths will soon be disposed of.
GOING FOR PLEASURE.
In addition to the goldseekers, a
number of tourists are leaving here
now for Alaska, and some of them
may or may not continue their Jour-
ney to the Klondyke region. Albert
FISHER, manager of the local brewery
company, with his daughter, Miss Alice
Fisher, and his niece, Miss Lena
Schalky, left here by the Oregon Short
Line last evening for Tacoma. where
they will take the steamer Queen on
Aug. for Sitka. Another party of u.
under the leadership of David Keith
OF Park City, also expects TO leave here
in time to take the Queen from Tacoma
on Aug. Z, but owing to the recent ILL
ness of Mr.. Keith's daughter, who
was brought here from Park City TO
be operated upon for appendicitis on
Wednesday, he may possibly not be
able to go. But Miss Keith is reported
as improving very rapidly and IL is
hoped that the visit TO Sitka may not
have to be postponed.
ARE AFTER GOLD.
In addition to the pleasureseekers,
a number of persons here have already
made arrangements to go to the Klon-
dyke gold fields. Gede Galborn and
Soto Book, two prospectors, engaged
passage yesterday on the Elder, sail
ing from Portland on Aug. Is. They
will leave here next Tuesday and go
direct from Portland to Juneau, where
they may stop week or two before
proceeding to Dyea. c. L. Preble, W.
D. Yingst and an employee of Walker
Bros bank, Mr.. McCabe, are also pre-
pairing to leave for the gold fields on
the first opportunity, but they are try
ing to secure passage on some steamer
sailing sooner than the Elder. 1t is
also understood that Mr.. w. S. Nc
Cornick is interesting himself in out
fitting several miners who want to go
to Alaska, and altogether the prospects
are very favorable for quite a repre-
sentation of Utah miners in the new
Eldorado.

THE LEGISLATURE.

AS the Examiner of yesterday, while
continuing its assaults upon Mr.. Short
ridge, was free from any charges of
Republican members of the Legislature,
there is reason for the hope that this form
OF tactics is to be abandoned and that
however personal and vituperative the
Perkins managers may be in their attacks
upon his unreplying opponent the Sena-
torial contest will be conducted hereafter
without the vilitication and slandering of
legislators.
AS matter of fact there was never any
slightest ground for the charges made by
the Examiner correspondent during last
week. If there was any attempt to
IVORY" Senator Perkins ''into selling a
ship" then it was the lying writer who
did the worrying and the Examiner man.
agement that was to profit by it. The
present Legislature has been in session
but short time, but it has already given
evidence that it is one of the best that
ever assembled in the State. 1t has made
proof of sincere regard for the welfare
OF the taxpayers by cutting down the
patronage of its own membe and has
been commercially earnest and prompt
in the transaction of ali business which
came before II.
There are doubtless some weak mem
bers in the Legislature, and there may be
some who are vicious, but if so they have
not yet shown themselves conspicuously.
On the contrary, the dominant element OF
both the Assembly and the Senate has
proven itself to be composed of men OF
high character and honest convictions.
The asser ion of the Examiner, III erefore,
that Senator Perkins must "meet bribery
with bribery" can be true only OF the
nfeds of its own Office, for no such neces-
sity is imposed on any candidate by the
legislators.
The absence of any repetition of these
charges in the Examiner yesterday gives
reason, as We have said, for hoping they
are to be abandoned altogether. Ger
tainly when the Examiner drops them no
one else is likely to take them up. This
is feature of the canvass on which the
public may well be congratulated. 1t is
not right that honest members of the
Legislature, sincerely aiming to serve the
State as best they can, should be made
the victims of every irresponsible and i'm
moral writer who may see fitto assail them.
Honesty, dignity and talent should not
be exposed to the shafts of envious ana
malignant mediocrity without most reso-
lutte protest On the part of the better ele-
ments of society.
A contest for the high and responsible
honor of representing California in the
National Senate should be conducted by
all competitors on merit alone. The COM
petitors, moreover, should grant to the
legislators who are 10 decide between
them the same immunity from SANDER
which they ask for themselves. We do
not hold Senator Perkins at all responsible
for the charges made by his Democratic
organ last week, but we trust he or his
friends had something to do with silencing
it yesterday. Let us have no more OF this
fake story that Republicans in the Legis-
lature are on level with boodling takers
and their Long green managers.
