ination In Freight Rates.


Portland, Ore, April 6.-Allen and
Lewis, acting for the merchants Of
Portland, toda9 commenced suit in the
United States court to enjoin the Ore

kind of freight received from the South
ern Pacific company at ogden for the
same destination.
The Oregon Railway & Navigation
company is made a party to the suit.

sheet is joint one. The railroad COM
pany discriminates against them in the
matter of rates in favor of San Fran
cisco merchants. By this alleged dis
elimination the Portland merchants
claim that San Francisco merchants
are enabled to control q large portion
of the trade of southern Idaho, which
they claim should go to this city.

Salary.
Especial to The Herald.1


Boise, April Elm response to an in
quiry, the attorney general has written
the probate judge of Lemhi county,
giving the law with reference to en-
ployment of clerk of the probate

1.-THE probate judge may have a
clerk if he wishes, but must pay his
clerk out of his own salary. The sal
ary fixed by the commissioners covers

judge, including probate matters,
clerks'> and magistrates fees. Under
the old law the fees belonged to the
officers, but they were required to ac-
count to the state for them and turn

tirely to the state, and the officer re-

APOSTLE LUND.

APOSTLE LUND.
Apostle Anthon H. Lund was the
first speaker of the afternoon. He re-
ferred to the numbers of new converts
which each year come to Utah, saying
that these people come here in poverty
and with nothing to do. He urged that
the people who are well situated here
take care that the newcomers received
their assistance and that they obtained
work. I'VE must not make paupers of
them," he said, "and we must give
them a chance to establish themselves.
If we don't pay them attention they
will feel hurt and much of the good
that has been accomplished by the
missionaries will be undone. We find
that the missionaries abroad are ac-
complishing more in the large cities
than in the country. These converts are
not accustomed to working on farms
and they rather tend to remain in the
cities when they reach Utah. There
are as good openings for these people
in the smaller cities as here. They
have as good educational advantages
and they will be able to own their own
homes and thus soon become indie
pendent"
He deprecated the fact that many
of the people We're acquiring a tendency
to hoard UP wealth for WealthS sake.
He urged the well-to-do to use their
means for the benefit of their fellow
men. Turning to the question of home
industries he said that the "eople ought
to make themselves a self-sustaining
people Imports should be stopped as
much as possible. Home manufactures
should be encouraged that the money
now here should be kept as long as
possible in circulation and not allowed
to 90 out into the rest of the country.
The whole question ought to be well
studied and thought out by the leading
men of the church, he said, FOR it was
one that was of much Importance to
all the people of the church
APOSTLE MERRILL.
Apostle Mariner W. Merrill said that
there was a general opinion in the
parts of the country distant from Utah
that the church had not expanded much
in the last forty years, and that the
idea. was general that there were. few
MorInons outside of Utah. He thought
the reason of this was that there was
little written about the people save
what was derogatory, and that little
was not widely read. He touched upon
the growing tendency to allow the poor
to be supported by the county. He
thought this wrong principle. They
should not allow the poor to become
charge upon the counties or upon the
church The poor should be allowed op-
portunities to become self-supporting;
those better situated financially should
give them employment and keep them
at work. He spoke of the matter of
debt which SO many people complained
of. THE best way to get out of debt, ="
he said. sis not to get into debt. Don't
be extravhgant. Don't buy things that

Another Fortnight of Terrible Sus-
pense Is Likely to Result in Com.

ernment Will No Doubt Reject
Chamberiain's Last Proposal

LONDON, Sept. 4. - The Johannes
burg correspondent of the Daily Mail,
who paints gloomy and pitiable pic
ture of the condition Of things there,
says:
''It is almost case of absolute exo-
dus and panic. Business is paralyzed,
the prices of foodstuffs are rapidly
rising, half the houses are empty and
the others are tenanted by people who
do not pay rent, the landlords being
glad enough to have them as occupants
in order to insure some sort of pro-
lection to the property.
''The tension has reache ed the snap
ping point. Bankruptcy and starva-
tion are staring the people in the face.
Another fortnight OF suspense will re-
suit in complete commercial collapse.
The banks are thronged with people
anxious to withdraw their gold, and
the railways are bssieged by those who
wish to get away"
The Cape Town correspondent of the
Daily Mail says: The Transvaal au-
thorities are forwarding huge quanti-
ties of Mauser ammunition from Pre-
toria to Bloemfontein. On Friday L.
500, 600 rounds arrived at the Orange
Free state capital.
All the special dispatches to the Lon
don morning papers from South
Africa indicate that the correspond
ents have got the impression that the
reply of the Transvaal government to
Mr. 'Chamberlain's latest note will be
an impertinent rejection of the sug-
gested conference at Cape Town and a
threat to withdraw the five year fran
chise offer.
The correspondent of the Times at
Newcastle, Natal, confirms the belief
of its johannesburg correspondent,
Mr.. Moneypenny, that aggressive ac-
tion is imminent.
A special dispatch from Johannes
burg says it is understood that the
charges against Mr.. Pakeman, editor
of the Transvaal Leader, who was ar
rested on Saturday, will be reduced
from sedition to contravention of the
press laws.

ney General Boyd Thursday received

Col. Boyd takes the position that the

that it is not question of extradition

tion being the surrender of the ac-
cused to the military authorities at
