Mr., Pryor's Goats.

Mr.. D. G. Pryor of San Antonio
who has shipped two consignments
OF cattle to Havana by the Olinda
and the Lauenburg, was in the city
yesterday. The Ardanmhor is pre-.
pairing to go to Cuba with cattle
Mr.. Pryor sent lot of goats by the
Olinda and these were returned to
the United States for the reason
that the government at Havana
was too exorbitant in its tariff
! charges at that time.
sit is notTthe regular tariff tllas
is so prohibitive, but they seem to
have lot of extras that are based
on what man can and will
stand" said Mr.. Pryor to a News
reporter. The tariff on cattle is
rs for steers, IS for calves, $40 for
oxen and rs for beeyes, and then
there is an ad valorem duty and a
weight charge, to say nothing of
official fees and special items. |
told the port officers that l refused
to be robbed Of the goats and pur.
posed shipping them back to the
United States. This made them
highly indignant and they drew
up sort Of transfer putting them
temporarily in the possession of
the herd. The British consul ad-
vised me to tell them to 20 to the
dickens, or words TO that effect.
They then threatened to throw me
in Jail. told them to 20 and
throw me in Jail, and suggested
that in view of the hotel rates in
the city. | would gladly board with
them Il short time, at least until
man of war should show up. This
cooled them bit and they let me
have the animals, with the excep-
ton of about 100, to which they
are hanging on through some
technicality. [ expect to have
trouble with them before I get
them back"
Mr.. Pryor thinks 100000 head
Of cattle will be shipped to the
island during the coming year, and
that it will require twice that
before the supply gets to
normal. The island is swept prac-
.ically clean Of stock of all descrip-
ions, and as it has to be restocked,

Psary's Lecture.

The attendance at Lieutenant Peary's
lecture this evening will indicate how
the people of Ogden appreciate some
thing strikingly intellectual and at the
same time OF exceeding interest. 1t is
without doubt the most interesting lee
ture that has been billed for Ogden in
many months. Every school boy and
girl in the city should attend, because
they can gain more practical knOwl-
edge in one hours time in relation to
the Arctic region than they can obtain
in whole term at school. Lieutenant
Peary's description of Greenland gives
one an entirely different impression of
that country from that usually enter
tanned. Greenland's icy mountains do
not exist; the island is covered under
thousands of feet of snow and ice,
which is increasing in depth with each
recurring year. The whole interior of
the island IS one vast level plain of
snow and ice.
The litelike pictures of scenes and
incidents of the journey through Green
land gives one a very accurate knowl-
edge of the country and the hardships
endured by those who make the trip.

DEMAND FROM THE STATE.
Pennington Militianen Must Give
Up Guns and Uniforms.

Pennington. Feb. 11.-Captain Webb,
of the National Guard of Utah, was up
from Salt Lake yesterday, conferring
with Captain Sanders concerning the
state property issued to company II
four years ago. when that company
was organized in Pennington. Com
pany II went out of existence on June
% of last year. and il was stated yes
terday that although repeated requests
have been made that the guns and
equipment be accounted for and turn
ed in. the property still remains with
the officers and members OF the defunct
company Captain Webbs mission was
to get il together and have everything
turned over to the proper officer. but
he failed in the accomplishing of his
purpose. The property was so hope
lessly scattered that it viii require
some energetic rustling on the part of
CaDtain Sanders and Lieutenant Lamb
before a satisfactory accounting can
be made. Some of the boys are making
vigorous protests against the orders of
Captain Webb that they give up their
uniforms, in fact with some it will be
a matter of impOssibility, for the suits
have been worn completely out, in ser
vice and out of service.
Captain Sanders has been censUred
by some for permitting state property
to remain in the hands of the members
of the company. He was seen this
evening and said the reason the prop
erty had net been turned in before
was that there has been a prospect of
the boys re-enlisting. He admitted that
there had been liberties taken with the
equipments. but said there had been
no intention OF infringing upon any
guard regulations. While the property
was at present very much scattered,
he had no doubt but what it would
-
when he reached here next Monday to
receive it. and he had homes that the
matter of demanding the uniforms
would not be pressed to an unreason-
able limit.
Earnest efforts are being made to
set the property together. but the de-
termined attitude OF the general OIL
GERS is causing fear and trembling
herea bouts, and some say the end is
not vet.
