 Some of our farmers, near this city, are embarking in the business of sowing wheat. They tried the experiment last year and are well pleased with their experience. The pasturage, after the wheat is gathered, pays handsome land rent, and what wheat Is made is all clear profet. It will pay ev- cry small farmer to SOW d bushel or so of early wheat. Wheat sown this month will most likely be good investment.
 It Is impossible for Us to remem- Der the names of every one who has spoken to Us for the African Limblers Cotton-seed, and as for eign orders are coming in for these seed, we ask those at home, who wish seed, to call and get them. Remember, that we are selling them at $I.oo per bushel and they will not last long at that price. We only have 20 bushels left, un- sold, and most of these have been spoken for.

CAUSE OF THE AGITATION.
Editor Glasmann Says That Judge
Goodwin Is to Blame.
Especial to The Herald. j

Washington, d. c., Dec. 11--Editor
Glasnsanl of the ogden Standard is
here to attend the forthcoming confen-
tion of the National Republic an League.
of which he Is vice president for the
state of Utah. He gives a warm pro-
Roberts interview to the local press
He says:
This agitation against Roberts never
would have been heard had not the
Salt Lake Tribune started it Judge
Goodwin expected TO be one of the first
two senators from Utah. Had it not
been for unexpected developments, a
programme arranged so that of the
first senators one would be a Mormon
and the other a Gentle, would have
been carried out. Judge Goodwin
would have been selected as the Gentle
senator. His paper had been a strong
Gentle organ, and he had every pros
pect of receiving the Gentle votes in
the legislature.
But when the political compact had
been arranged. Judge Goodwin showed
a great deal of eagerneSS to conciliate
the Mormons, and when the temple was
dedicated he made a. speech so strongly
Mormon in its sentiments that he
estranged the Gentiles. L think he
spoke much more strongly than any
Mormon would have done. The result
was that the Gentiles refused to sup
port him in the legislature for sena-
tor.
Since that time Judge Goodwin has
been a malcontent, and with the cleo
ton of Mr. Roberts he started a cru
SADIE in his paper which has aroused
the country He has continually charg-
ed that the MormOnS were violating the
laws against plural marriages, and that
the state was breaking the compact

tack Yesterday morning on Stormberg,
in Northern Cape Colony. The British
general says he was misled by guides
as to the Boer position, and found
"impracticable ground Apparently
he was caught in an ambush, as his
casualties as at present known are
alarming. The numbers of dead and
wounded cannot be considered excess
sive in the circumstances. but the
enormous numbers reported missing
suggest that the engagement must not
have been unlike that of NicholsoD's
Mex, when General White lost so
heavily.
General Methuen's army is known to
have been heavily reinforced at Modder
river with infantry, cavalry and artil
lery, while General Wauchope's High
land brigade has largely increased the
number of bayonets available for
frontal attack. The necessity for this
costly method of warfare has been
obviated by the presence of full
brigade of cavalry commanded by
General Darlington. This brigade in
strong body of provincial horse. Two
powerful batteries of horse artillery
have been added. with a mobility near
~ equal to that of cavalry.
Methuen's army cannot number less
than 1900 men, and its maneuvering
power has been increased until there is
slight justification for frontal attacks
made without adequate reconnaissance,
and scouting. Military men assume
that he has not left Modder river until
the section of the howitZer battery
with Lyddite ammunition has arrived.
General Buffers admirers laugh at
the idea that he will attempt to force
the passage of the river at the point
where the Beers are strongest. They
assert that he will mask that crossing
with heavy artillery as soon as the
howitzerS are sent UP from Durham,
but that the main body of the army
will go over higher up. after a feint
had been made lower down, and that
the. enemy's position will be turned
Ladysmith relieved and the retreat of
the Free Staters to the mountain
passes cut off Nothing can be sim
pier than strategy in a comfortable
service club without interruption from
the unmannerly Beers.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-12-12

Durham's remarks are considered as IN
rather bad taste Until General Cat
acre has given his explanations 1t Is
felt that considerable allowance must
be made for the extreme difficulty Oh
getting intelligence in a country whose
inhabitants are in strong. sympathy
with the enemy.
Stormberg is described as stronger
position than Laing's Mex. The only
road winds through lofty hills, and
thanking is impossible. Colesburg Is
also said to be an almost impregnaole
position. and as no troops are availaple
to reinforce the columns acting IN those
directions. it becomes evident that Cen
eral Gatacre's misfortune or error Will
delay the invasion of the Free state,
perhaps some weeks
1t is exceedingly probable that he VIII
be compelled to retire on Queenstown,
and to wait for achievements, whlcn
can hardly reach him until Sir Charles
Warren's division arrives at the cape
The first attachments Will sail Satur-
day next Even if General French Is
not compelled to retreat. he will be
Obliged to pause in his advance.
1t now seems certain that the seventh
division, which is being modified at
Aldershot, will also be sent to South
Africa.
No news has yet been received con-
firming the Boer report of the capture
of fifty prisoners at Modder river from
Lord Methuen's column.
The war office has issued a notice
that after Jan. l, a deduction Will De
made from the pay of soldiers serving
in South African the case of privates
pence per day for wives and penny
for each child; in the case of sergeants,
pence for wives and pence for each
child. These sums have thus far been
paid by the government. The order
indicates the belief that the campaign
will be a long one.
1t is announced from Cape Town that
the Beers have succeeded in repairing
the Leeuwfontein bridge, between
$40. mberg and Burghersdorp, which the
British destroyed on retiring.
Commandant Swanepol, who COM
manded the Boer forces at StOrmberg.

COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
Fear the Results of General Gatacre's
Defeat at Stormberg.

London, Dec. n.-Discussing the de-
feat of General Gatacre at Stormberg,
the Daily Mail says:
"Quite apart from the loss of 600
fighting men, the unexpected Boer
success will probably cause a more
general and serious movement among
: the Cape Dutch. The government
must promptly face this by the i'm
mediate despatch of further troops"
The Daily News says: The reverse
General Gatacre has suffered is a sadly
emphatic commentary on the peculiar
difficulty of military operations in
semi-disaffected country. The enemys
spies are everywhere and nowhere
can we rely confidently on any
ounter-information. General Gatacre
seems to have been completely trapped
OF course he will be Immediately re-
inforced.
The Daily Chronicle says: There is
only too much reason to fear that this
is the worst illustration we have had
yet of inadequate equipment and in
sufficient scouting. How far this
disaster was due to lack of Judgment
on the spot and how far to lack of
artillery, is not quite clear, but the

Against Giving Out Public Lands
In Large Blocks.

Denver. Colo, Dec. 11-At a con-
ference next Thursday at Salt Lake,
a combined effort will be made to pre-
vent the proposed leasing of public
lands in large blocks to sheep owners.

humiliation of the small herds, and
that it is a move 10 crowd out the little
