LOOKING UP THE POSSIBILITIES
DR.. HAUPT HERE FOR BONNIE.
VILE WATER COMPANY.
Getting Data of Agricultural and Silk
Culture Adaptabilities, and Mar
ket For Mining and Milling Power

DR.. Haupt of Evanston, Ills, is in the
city procuring data relative to the agri-
cultural and horticultural possibilities of
the quarter of million acres of arid land
in Willard county to be irrigated and re-
claimed by the proposed works of the
Lake Bonneville Water & Power COM
pany. Another part of his mission while
in Utah is to report on the probable de-
mand for electric power 10 be produced
by the Bonneville company and transmit
ted 10 the mines and mills in Tintic, De-
troit, Fish Springs and Beaver Lake min
ing districts.
After arriving from the east, DR.. Haupt,
who. by the way, has devoted years to
scientific research and to the colating of
industrial statistics, received a telegram
from his employer to look into the matter
of silk culture in Utah. Naturally, the
ditor Caine, who is so well posted on the
subject of silk culture, for much of the
information he desires. Mrs. Game gave
him some valuable data, and his pursuit
of this subject viii be on lines suggesting
the adaptabiity of silk culture on Willard
county's reclaimed lands. The climate
there is inviting for the growth of silk
worms and the propagation of sustenance
for the makers OF the valuable cocoons
Undoubtedly DR.. Haupt viii, at the end
of his researches, report favorably on
ton of the bonds of the Bonneville com
pany have been floated, and the data that
the doctor will compile win be helpful in
further financing the mammoth project,
work upon which viii commence in the
spring.
DR.. Haupt is making his headquarters
at the Knutsford.

More Talk About Chicago &.

GOULD IS THE PURCHASER
SAID TO BE ACTING THROUGH
THE MISSOURI PACIFIC.
Expected That the Acquisition of
This Line BY the Missouri Pacific

of U. P and Other Roads Against
Great Western Declared OFF.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE Tribune
says: All sorts of rumors regarding
the Chicago & Alton Railroad company
are current in Wall street. There is a
revival of the report that the Wander
bits would buy the road the Michigan
Central being named as the specific
purchaser.
Another alleged buyer was the Union
Pacific, but few men in the financial
district took that rumor with any seri-
BUSINESS. The indications still point to
the Goulds, acting through the Missouri
Pacific Railway company, as the prob
able purchasers of the Alton road. Judge
j. j. Mitchell, president OF the Limos
Trust & Savings Bank of Chicago, who
is a large holder of Alton stock, and
is said to have been authorized by
President Blackston of the Alton to act
also in behalf of the minority stock
holders of the railway corporation, had
a conference with George j. Gould here
on Wednesday. He is still in the city
and spent all day Thursday in a series
of further conferences, believed to have
been with Mr.. Gould and his associates,
and according to the best information
obtainable, the acquisition by the Mis-
souri, Pacific of the controlling interest
in the Chicago & Alton will be an
nounced in a few days. 1t is under
stood that the Vanderbilts would by no
means be ayerse to such means of
transfer

Our Boys In the Philippines.

The American Soldier, Isaac Rus
sells paper published in the Philip
pines, of Oct. 20, came to hand yester-
day and contains few items concern
ing the Utah boys. From the Utah
department it is learned that Privates
Blake and Tilson have whitewashed
the barracks; that Private Musser has
delivered a lecture on the Holy
Land" that during the absence of
Major Young and Captain Grant Lieu
tenant Gibbs had the boys dosed with
Quinine and that Sergeant A L. Will
Jams has offered forty Mexican dollars
for the thief who stole his gold watch,
presented by the members of his ad-
miring battery.
The paper is sort of curio in its
way. Schlitz. the brewer, takes an
entire page to tell the boys they can
get American beer, without microbes;
]. r. Bush. not our Joe, another one,
informs the people he has a bakery
where they can get pies and dough-
nuts like their mothers used to make.
and Emilio Saguara conveys the rather
startling intelligence that ne is con-
Quoting an American saloon. with
cocktails, gin fiZzes, etc, for the
palate.
The advertising patronage seems to
be extensive, although as yet the dry
goods men do not seem to have dis
covered advertising good thing.
Editorially Russell remarks that
any time the government sees fit to
send them home, the boys are willing.

ern simply laughed at the Santa Fe's
action, but When the Rock Island took
side with the Santa Fe the situation
was not so funny. Then the Union
Pacific Joined in and the situation was
becoming serious.
The result Of it all has been that the
Great Western had to come to time and
increase it's rates in conformity with
the big roads and the dispatches yes
terday indicated that a settlement has
been reached and the boycott declared
off.
At the Union Pacific headquarters
here notices were received canceling all
joint freight rates with the Great West
ern after Dec. "a. The passenger de-
partment was also notified to sell no
through tickets to points on the boy
cotted road The Union Pacific wants
most of the business to so over the
Northwestern from Omaha east. Since
the other lines made the big reduc-
tons it has been getting most of the
business and under the joint traffic de-
cision the only way to bring the Great
Western to time was to combine in a
boycott.
1t is said a settlement was reached at
a meeting of western traffic officials in
Chicago last Tuesday.

WILL MAKE HER OWN OIL.
France Proposes to Shut Out the
American Product.

Washington, Dec. 16.-Consul Britton
at Nantes reports to the state depart
ment that he has been informed that
an influential company has been formed
in France. and that strenuous efforts
viii be put forth by its members to
secure the passage of a measure which
will place the import duly on cotton
seed oil at so high a figure that it will.
be practically prohibitive. The impor-
tance of this proposition lies in the fact
that nearly all of this oil imported into
France comes from the United States.
1t is said to be the purpose of the
French company to undertake the man
ufacture of cottonseed oil in France,
importing the cottonseed for that pur-
pose from Egypt, on the theory that it
will then be impossible to dictate the
price of oil in the United States. If
the law is enacted, it is suggested by
the consul that the United States place
dimes, which the United States imports
almost exclusively from France.

HER SECOND TRIAL.
Mrs. Anderson Wants a Divorce From
Her Husband.

For the second time during her mar
ried life, Mrs. Treay Anderson has filed
a suit for divorce against her nus
band. The first application she made
three years ago, alleging his conduct
towards her was not such as a true
and loving husband should manifest to-
ward the partner of his joys and sor-
rows. Magnus, the recalcitrant, agreed
TO do better in future, and the com
plant was withdrawn
Yesterday Mrs. Anderson filed an
other complaint, based on the grounds
of neglect and failure to provide, con-
tending that for more than a year last
past she has been compelled to earn
her own living, Magnus doing nothing
toward supporting her, and by his ac-
tons compelling her to depend on the
charity of her friends and her own ex-
ertions.
She asks for alimony at the rate of
$40 per month and the custody of her
young child.
Owing to the fact that she has no
means the usual oath to that effect was
filed with the petition.

Short Orders.

Clerk Blair yesterday received a let
ter from George Criddle, whose wife OBJ
tanned a divorce from him while he
was in Manila, stating he did not care
to have the case reopened, as he had no
money with which to meet the expenses
of such an action. He believed, how
ever that he ought not to be debarred
from seeing his children, as ordered by
the court, and thought if the judge
knew the facts he would modify the de-
cree.
There will be no session of the Grim
inal court today, Judge Norrel having
adjourned until Monday. Judge Cherry
will sit this morning and dispose Of ac-
cumulated business in his branch.

CARE OF CONFEDERATE GRAVES
Sexton Declines TO Discuss President
McKinley's Suggestion.

Philadelphia, Dec. 16.-Colonel James
a. Sexton of Chicago. national COM
mander of the Grand Army of the Re
public, who is attending meeting in
this city of the executive committee of
that organization, today declined to
discuss President McKinley's sugges-
ton, in his speech at Atlanta. that the
national government should share with
the southern people in the care of the
graves of confederate soldiers, as it
now cares for the graves of those who
fought on the Union side.
Regarding the proposition that the
same day should be observed as Memo
rial day by both north and south, the
colonel said there should certainly be
no objection to the idea, and he thought
such a step would go a great way to-
wards celebrating the so-called sec
Horal lines.

and KID Mccoy were the features to-
night at the Arena in a six-round bout
which came to an end in the fifth
round by the referee disqualifying the

fight to Mccoy. Up to that period the
fighting was uneventful, Mccoy doing
the better work In the fifth round,
after a number Of exchanges, the kid"
landed heavy right on Goddards
jaw. and sent him to the floor. Goddard
was on his feet in a second and the
KID again landed on Joes jaw and
sent him to grass once more. He got
on his feet again and clinched with
Mccoy. They wrestled about the ring
for some time, when the referee inter
posed and disqualified Goddard. He
said he had ATTEMPTED to throw Nc
Coy 10 the floor while wrestling.
