ing with each other. If the valley
comes together we will back the
Western Poultry 4 Game Co. for
200 cars, put up the cash and pay
all expenses il the melons are of
first-class quality and are handled
with proper care. Under these
conditions I am willing to take
of my coat and vest to make next
years business a gigantic success.
G. w. Fenlsson moved that the
association take action on the prop
osition presented by the Western
Poultry Il Game Go. at the morn
ing session. Carried.
Then came up q long discussion
ON the payment for icing the cars
in which Industrial Commissioner
Davis Of the Santa Fe, Wiley of
the Poultry & Game Co., Fenla-
son, President Swink, Wallis,
Conner and others took part.
From the statements made it ap-
peared that the local agent had
not informed the central Office
that the association had paid for
the first icing of several cars, and
as a consequence the Poultry h
Game Co. had been obliged to pay
the railroad company again for
such icing. Mr.. Davis assured the
association that as soon as the
amount paid by the association
could he ascertained it would he
paid back to them, and the associa-
too would not be ont cent on
that score. G. w. Fenlason
moved That the association accept
the Western Poultry L. Game
Co.'s offer of 5000 in cash to
square accounts.
| After some discussion the mo-
ton was carried with but one dis
senting vote.
Henry Fosdick of Fowler an
nounced that while they had
nothing to say against the Rocky
Ford association il was thought it
would be better for all parties If
they (the Fowler people, organi-
xed an association Of their own.
He stated that the Fowler people
had already taken action looking
to that end. HH
A few Of the Fowler members
Of this association took exception
to this and stated that they in
tended to remain in the Rocky
Ford association.
It was moved and carried that
the outside shipping stations NOM
mate their candidates for members
of the new board Of directors.

NEW ELECTRIC SCHEME.
American Fork Power May Light
Utah County Towns.


Utah County Towns.
Lehi, March 16.-Messrs. C. and P.
Garff OF Ogden are visitors, and are
looking up the advisability of utilizing
the waters of the American Fork can
Won for electric light purposes. These
gentlemen have just finished a small
plant in Hyrum, Cache county, for
lighting that city, and it is expected
that they will yet use the waters of
American Fork for Lehi, Alpine, Amer
lean Fork and Pleasant Grove. They
expect to look over the canyon in a day
or two.
The charity ball given in the opera
house last evening by the NJ. 1. A. for

liberal and the Kirkham, Sumine and
kirkham and Taylor quadrille band
gave their services free.
The Ladies club of Lehi gave a
high five party in their club room the
other evening, and all who participated
had a very enjoyable time.
James Peterson will be given a fare
well benefit at the opera house on the

time on a mission to the east.

Harvey E. Porter, a we'll known min

died at Ontario, Cal, last Sunday. He
owned valuable real estate in Salt
Lake.
Ida c. Whittier of Pocatello has pub

The new owners of the Ridenbaugh
canal have brought suit in the United

furnished for less than $3.50.
The Weiser Signal prints the follow
ing apropos of the initial trip of the
Mable on Snake river: The steamer
Shoshone was built at the mouth of
Boise river in 1S66-67 She started
down through the Snake River canyon
in 1871 and 1872, and was two years get
ting through. The boat was never in
commercial service. She was built to
operate in connection with a fast
freight line. This line was by steam
boat up the Columbia to Umatilla, and
then a wagon portage to Farewell
bend, near where Huntington now is.
And from this point the Shoshone
was to convey the freight up Snake
river to different Idaho points as far
as Salmon Falls. The venture was a
failure, as it was demonstrated that
the straight wagon haul could be done
cheaper and with greater reliability
This dates the first attempt to navigate
upper Snake river.

HARMFUL QUARANTINE LAWS.
Unless Modified Thousands of Cali
fornia Cattle Will Starve.

San Francisco, March 16.-The
Chronicle says Over 100000 head of
cattle will starve TO death in Califor-
MIA this year unless the government
can be persuaded to speedily modify
the quarantine laws against the splen-
lite or southern fever.
Nevada stockmen are DESTROYS of
purchasing in CALIFORNIA; and Califor-
MIA stocl1men are anxious to sell or to
send their horned stock to Nevada, but
nothing can be done, owing to the
quarantine regulations against a dis
ease which does not exist in California,
which prevents the transportation of
the animals to the north or to the
neighboring state on the east.
Senator Stewart of Nevada and Gov
ernor Budd of California have both
taken the. matter up, and a representa-
tive of the cattlemen has been sent to
Washington to endeavor to have the
quarantine lines moved further south.
Washington, March l6.-AD Of
hcial of the agricultural depart
ment said: 1.-The cattle referred to can
be sent to any place south of the quar-
antine line or can be shipped into the
northern part of California if the state
officials will guarantee that they be
properly quarantined. For that mat
ter they also can be sent into Nevada
if the state officials there will under
take the work of quarantining them.
The scheme looks to me like a specu-
lative one and that a number of cat
tlemen are anxious to dispose of their
stock"

SHEEP SHEARING AT MILFORD
PENS AT THAT POINT WILL
HANDLE 10000 HEAD.
As Many More Will Be Sheared at
Black Rock-Employment For One
Hundred Shearers.

Milford, Utah, March 15.-Prout and
Hickman, who have charge of the sheep
shearing corrals at Milford this season.
have booked 10000 sheep. for shearing
during the month of April, commenc-
ing with the 9TH. They have a full
months work for April, and, in addi-
ton to the 10000 already booked, they
have $1,000 more on the road to book.
Sheepmen generally fall in quickly with
the arrangements of Shearing here, and
there is a greatly increased business in
sight. Milford pens will shear 10000
head this season at an average of five
pounds to the fleece. This wool Will
bring in the nice little sum of 100000
for the railroads that haul it east. The
amount from Black Rock viii be about
the same. This will give 100 shearers
employment for six weeks. The shear
ing pens here are being enlarged and
put in shape for working 100 shearers,
and the railroad guarantees that better
service will be given this year than
ever before. The best shearerS in the
market are being employed, and a sec
ond-class or apprentice will not be
used. A regular price is established,
and former difficulties remedied. The
railroad has set in number of cars
for the use of the shearers, and good
dining hall has been erected for the
use of the men. New wind breaks are
being constructed and every precau-
ton taken to render first-class work.

increased by prominent st. Louis opera

ceptionally heavy The market fell pretty

sued. Professional shorts and many early

building used for a court house here
is an abandoned log stable, that has
been fitted uD for use as a carpenter

is impossible to keep comfortable in it.

Last winter the judge caught a severe
cold while holding court in it, and was
laid up with pneumonia for ten days
as a consequence, during which time
he was very near deaths door, while
all the lawyers and attendants upon
court at that term suffered more or
less. 1t is the best building for the
purpose, however, that the county seat
of this bankrupt county can furnish,
and has to be endured.
= scheme is on to abolish Bullion pre-
cinct and throw that whole territory,
in which Marysvale is located, into
Junction precinct. As Junction precinct
is the county seat, this, it is thought,
will make it legal to hold court ar
Marysvale, where they now have an
excellent hall that can be used as a
court house.

BEN RICH RETURNS,
But the idaho Politician Cuts No Ice
In Cache.

Logan, March 16.-Ben E. Rich landed
in Logan this morning, and after a
short visit with relatives left again on
the afternoon train, announcing that
Collinston was his destination. He de-
MES that his visits here have any po-
ltical significance whatever, although
on his first visit he openly announced
that he had come to organize the sill
yer Republicans here, and produced a
letter from National Chairman Towne,
authorizing him to do so. He has Wis
tied Logan oftener during the last four
months, than for a long time before
that. Politicians here, however, do not
attach a great deal of Importance to
his visits or anything that he may do,
as he is not generally considered TO be
a heavyweight in politics.
Attorney A. J. Weber of Ogden, was
IN the city yesterday, upon business
connected with the Copper King trOu-
bic. Two parties claim the mine and

TO send a force of men up to work the
claim right away, but the recent heavy
snowfall in the mountains will delay
this for some time.
The engine pulling the freight train
which runs from Cache Junction to
Preston, was derailed at Franklin last
evening, and in consequence Logan had
no early morning mail.
