NO LONGER DOUBTED
Burlington Surely Figures On En-
tering Salt Lake.
BIG DEAL NOW PENDING
WANT TO BUY UTAH & WYOM-
ING RIGHT-oF-wAY.
Correspondence Has Passed Between
Officers of the Two Roads and a
Meeting of the Stockholders of
the Latter Has Been Called to
Consider the Question.

That the Burlington is figuring on a
road into Salt Lake and possibly on to
the coast is no longer doubted by local
railroad men. 1t was stated yesterday
on good authority that deal is now
pending between the officers of the
Utah & Wyoming railway and the
Burlington looking toward the securing
for the latter company of the survey
and right-ofway held by the Utah &
Wyoming since 1891.
Correspondence has passed between
officers of the Burlington. including the
general manager, and the officials of
the Utah & Wyoming concerning this
matter during the last month. and r.
q. Raybould, the president of the lat
ter road, has called a stockholders
meeting to be held in this city some
time this week for a consideration of
the matter.
The Utah & wyoming railway has
already done $4,000 worth of work
They started in 1891 and the prelimi-
nary work was done. the right-of
was secured from the government. and
the organization has been kept I'D and
taxes paid ever since.
The line commences at a point near
Garfield Beach and runs east past the
southern limit of Salt Lake, on over
the Fort Douglas reservation and
through Emigration canyon, down Sill
yer Creek to Coalville, then up Chalk
creek to the Wyoming line and about
forty miles into Wyoming. At a point
just below Aspen, Wyo., this survey
connects with the proposed line of the
Burlington from Alliance through the
state of Wyoming towards the Grand
Encampment, where extensive depot
grounds have recently been purchased
for the latter company.
If the Burlington concludes to buy
that survey it will have a feasible route
into Salt Lake. The distance through
Emigration canyon from Coalville to
Salt Lake is forty-two miles, and a
grade of 2.S per cent can be obtained;
but if better grade is desired, per
cent can be secured by coming in at a
point below Ogden. The latter, how
ever. would make the road twelve
miles longer.
If the deal is pushed through sue
cessfully and the Utah & Wyoming
right becomes the property of
the Burlington. the latter road would
also, if it desired. have a route into
this city which would be 200 miles
shorter than any other. The officers
and directors of the Utah & Wyoming
are: w. G. RaybOuld. president; Will
liam Pickard, vice president; Major
Wilkes, secretary and chief engineer:
Emery Ward, treasurer; A. Thompson,
William Martin and j. C. c. Glanfield,
directors.

HARBOR TROUBLES.
President Hill of Great Northern
Sees Secretary Alger.

Sees ScCIcIdIy AlSeI-
Washington, July 1.-Secretary Alger
today gave a hearing to President j.
]. Hill of the Great Northern railroad
and Vice President Daniel H. Lamont
of the Northern Pacific railway regard
ing harbor lines at Seattle and Tacoma,
Wash. There is a disagreement be-
tween the state authorities and private
parties and owners of lands along the
water fronts of these cities. which has
been brought before the war depart
ment in an application for the estab-
lishment of harbOr lines.
1t is claimed by the state harbor
commission that the general govern
ment has no authority to establish such
lines, as the state owns the tide lines
and has the authority to establish its
lines. The claim is made by the
property owners along the water fronts
that the state has established lines in
sixty feet of water, while the piers
cannot be built out so far, and that
thirty feet depth is sufficient.
The state gives the property owners
an opportunity to lease the land be-
tween thirty foot depth and sixty-foot
depth, but if they do not lease it,
claims the right to lease to other par
ties. The property owners ask that
the government establish lines at
about the thirty-foot depth, and this
was the request which was being con-
sidered today.
Surveys have been made of the har-
bors by the engineers, and maps made.
which were examined by the secre-
tary.

PERRY PLAYS DETECTIVE.
Deputy Sheriff Receivers a Stolen
Watch

Deputy Sheriff Perry did a neat piece
of detective work yesterday in secur-
ing a gold watch valued at $40, which
had been stolen from Mrs. May Dilley
at AL Hazel Court.
He came to the conclusion that this
watch and $40 in coin were taken by
a young girl who was acquainted with
the premises. When she was accused
she admitted her guilt, and broke down
and cried. She returned the watch
Perry would not give the name of the
child, for it is likely that Mrs. Dilley
will not prosecute her. and as she has
heretofore borne a good reputation for
honesty, he did not want to injure her.

Fourth of July Committee Mixed
Patriotism and Religion.
TROUBLE OVER SPEAKERS
MORMONS REFUSED TO ACCEPT
a. DIR. ILIFF.
And Roberts and Whitney Were Bar
red by Gentiles-Senator Cannon
Neither Mormon Nor GENTLE
Celebration to Be Grand Affair
Preparations Nearly Completed.

A hitherto untold tale concerning the
oratorical features of the Fourth of
July celebration leaked out yesterday.
According to this story. the Gentle
and Mormon sections of the sub-com-
mittee on speakers held a somewhat
tropical session before the speakers
were finally decided upon. 1t was tao
lily understood that the Mormon and
GENTLE elements were to be given
equal prominence in the celebration
and that the speakers should be chosen
TO represent each side. But when it
came to selecting speakers, a stumbling
dock was encountered, as the orators
proposed by either side were not ac-
ceptable to the other.
When the committee held its session.
it is said, Governor Wells was named
first and he was acceptable to both
sides. Then the Gentle members
proposed DR.. Tiff. and trouble started
right there. for the Mormon members
refused point blank to accept a speaker
regarded by them as an anti-Mormon
agitator. They further declared that
if it was insisted that DR.. lifts name
be placed upon the list, that of B. H.
Roberts should also go down.
This was too much for the Gentle
portion of the committee. II was in
sisted with some vehemence that if a
line was to be drawn in one direction
the rule must be permitted to work
both ways, and they wanted no polyg-
amists.
So neither Dr. Tiff nor Mr.. Roberts
will crate on the patriotic occasion
and as the latter gentlemans friends
almost Immediately discovered, neither
will Bishop Whitney. The bishops fit
ness TO deliver proper Fourth of Jmly
speech was discussed at some length
His ability and oratorical superiority
were conceded by the other side, but on
no account would he do.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed, condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube gets inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infiamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that can not be cured by

One feature of the local market that
strikes the housewife with great force
is the extraordinarily high price of
dried or evaporated fruit. Apricots are
selling at is cents per pound, peaches
at Is cents and apples the same In
ordinary years these sell for and Z
cents per pound and Utah dried fruit
sells at times at cents per pound.
These unusual prices are accounted
for by the short crop and by the unu-
usual demand caused by the large con-
sumption of dried fruit in the army
Large quantities have been purchased
and shipped to the army by the federal
government. One of the worst fea-
lures of the situation is that this COM
modify will be very much higher before
it is lower.

Senator Cannon's Religion.

A somewhat amusing incident. in
volving joke at ex-senator Frank j.
Cannon's expense, occurred at one
stage of the proceedings. according TO
the story. The Mormon members sug-
gested that the Gentiles place Senator
Cannons name on the list as a repre-
sentative of the Gentle side. The lat
ter expressed surprise at this PROPOSE
ton, but were willing to accept the
senator as a representative of the
Mormon contingent. The Mormons in
sisted that the senator was not a Nor
mon, and the Gentiles asked, since
when?'
Since the Theatre meeting was
the reply.
The entire matter of speakers was
finally arranged in a most amicable
manner, and persons invited who meet
with the entire approval of the various
members of the subcommittee.
Members of the committee who were
seen in regard TO the difficulty denied
the existence of anything unpleasant,
and seemed very anxious that no word
of any dissension should reach the
public.
