PROVO STREET LIGHTS.
Council Will Ascertain the Cost of
Plant.

Provo, March S.-The committee on
streets and alleys reported on the
question of street lighting, but the mat
ter was referred back with instructions
to determine upon the ACCESSIBILITY of
contracting with the Telluride Power
company for light, or for the erection
of plant to be owned by the city. The
interest evinced by the different MEM
bers of the council indicates that they
are in favor of lighting the city. The
only question now to be determined is
the most economical method of furnish
ing the light.
President Booth introduced an ordi-
nance which makes it unlawful for any

bonds. The resolution was tabled for
one week.
The question of a garbage depository
was brought before the council and af

WHITE RIVER COLONY.
Description of Country to Be Settled
By Utah People.

ST George, March S.-The White
River country, in the southeastern part
of Nevada, which the church authori-
ties are now taking active steps to
settle up, under the immediate supervi-
sion of Thomas Judd, of St. George,
who has just been called to take charge
of the work of its colonization. is a
region similar to Cedar and Parowan.
1t is we'll adapted to hardy fruits and
grains of all kinds, and is beside a
good stock raising country. Its near
est neighbor is the mining camp of
Healy. All the water of this region
belongs to the land just taken up, of
which there is about $4,000 acres,
though the present water supply is only
sufficient for about 5000 acres of farm
ing land, the White river being but a
small stream. 1t is a continuation of
the Panaca valley to the north, and its
nearest railroad points are Eureka,
New, and Milford, Utah, each being
about 1S5 miles distant. In a direct
line it is about 1S5 miles northwest of
St. George.
1t is not the intention of the church
authorities to call settlers to locate on
this land, as it is thought that there
are plenty of people in quest of homes
who viii soon settle up the country,
when the townsite and farming land is
laid off

NEWS OF THE WEST.
Fight For Utah Cattle.

Denver Republican: One hundred
thousand head of the finest stock cattle
in the country are in the southern part
of Utah, the owners of which are pre-
! pairing to ship them to the markets of
! the country to be sold to feeders as
soon as the ranges of the north are
green. The problem that is now con-
fronting the cattle men in Denver is
whether or not this market will get its
just share of these cattle.
The cattle are located on the ranges
about half way between the lines of the
Santa Fe and the Rio Grande Western
railways. If the cattle go over the San
ia Fe road none of them will come to
the Denver market, and if they go to
the Rio Grande Western, all of them
will come to the Denver market. OF
the two roads. the Rio Grande Western
is closest to the range country and usu-
ally gets the bulk of the trade, but this
year the Santa Fe road is n-the field
for the business and has made a rate
which will, without doubt. attract most
of the cattle business unless the rate
met by the Rio Grande Western and
the Denver & Rio Grande roads.
The Santa Fe road, recognizing that
the rival road was in position to han
die the cattle has made a big reduction
in it's rates, and this reduction has not
time for moving the cattle has not yet
come, but if the cut is not met before
then. this market will handle about
IS, 900 cattle less than it should. The
former rate from Flagstaff and Canyon
Diablo, both in Arizona, to Kansas
City. was s125 a car. but a week ago
the Santa Fe road announced that this
rate would be reduced from 1925 a car
to S94 a car. and a difference of $S1 a
car in freight rates will be enough to
attract the cattle men of the country
where the cattle are feeding now.
The cattle have to be driven from the
ranges to the railroads, and cannot be
started until the ranges are green
enough to feed the stock while en- route.
The drive to the Colorado line is short
er and easier than the drive south into
Arizona, but at that season of the year
the cattle man can afford to spend the
extra time necessary to drive his cattle
a few miles farther if he can get re-
duction in his freight rates of $31. The
cattle going over the Santa Fe road
go straight to the market at Kansas
City. If they are hauled by the Rio
Grande Western they come to the Dem
yer market.

F. S. WINTERS ON TRIAL FOR
ROBBERY FROM THE PERSON.
Judgment For the Plaintiff For S99
In~Vogler VS.. Klenke-Cases Ar

Hiles' Contradictions Gull
hngs.

The trial of F. S. Winters on the
charge of grand larceny for stealing a
watch, valued at 81, and S13 in money,
from the person of James B. Buzzo, was
resumed yesterday morning before
Judge Norrell and a jury. 1t appeared
that the defendant and lBuZzo had been
out together on a drinking bout. Buzzo
claimed that Winters had taken the
money and the watch from him while
he was under the influence of liquor,
but the defendant contended that Buzzo
gave the valuables to him to take care
of until Buzzo became sober.
They appeared to have had quite a
hilarious time, visiting a large num-
Der of saloons and finally finding a ref
uge at the Salvation Army shelter,
where a cut which BuZzo had sus-
tanned in the head, the result of a fall,
was dressed by one of the Salvation
Army girls.
The testimony was all in and the ar
guments partly heard when court ad-
journed until today.
