KICK AT THE SHORT LINE.
Sandy People Authorize Cores
pendent to Make It.

Sandy City, July 21.-There is a just
cry of indignation going up from the
people of the south from the treatment
they got at the Mutual I'm
provement excursion last night
About O'Clock all going south were
ordered to take the cars, and, as that
train did not stop at Salt Lake, no
Salt Lakers got on. After the train
was loaded they ran 1t on the curve
and kept it there until they got ready
to move out. The southern people had
the satisfaction of seeing the reflection
of the big show on the sky, and hear
ing the noise of the bombs 1t looked
to a fool OF a hayseed as if this show
was got up for Salt Lake only. and
too rich for the blood of a countryman.
How can the Oregon Short Line rail-
way make friends by taking three
hours to reach Sandy, about Is miles
from Salt Lake, after their men cry
All aboard for the south?" The adj
vertisement said the train would leave
for the south after the fireworks. AS
a great many people went to see the
battle scene, more than to visit Saltair,
they feel very sore about the way they
were treated; and unless they have
perfect guarantee of better accommo-
dations in the future. will fight shy of
such affairs hereafter, especially ladies

Local Items From Vernal.

Vernal, July 19.-The harvesting of
wheat is beginning here and there on
the early fields.
A party of tourists passing through,
en- route for Salt Lake. are camped in
the upper portion of the valley tonight.
The party is made up of people from
the eastern states, New York and
Michigan. They are loud in their
praises of the Ashley valley, and ex-
press great surprise that so many fine
homes had been built and beautified in
this section. They gave vent to many
expressions of wonder at the magnifi-
cent fields of waving grain, and admit
that the eastern states are not in it,
in the matter of crops.
Roy McAlister, who has been with
the Vernal Drug company as pharma-
ciSt for the past two or three years,
leaves for his old home in Logan some
time this week, where he will accept
a position with the Coop of that place
as manager of the drug department.

pany is in Salt Lake on business.

The procession from the tabernacle
to the grave was very long and we'll

managenent of the funeral from be-
ginning to end.
Thirty young ladies in spotless white
walked the entire distance at the head
of the cortege. Four hearses, each
drawn by white horses, followed, with
