With appropriate ceremony, under
the canopy of heaven, the corner stone
of the magnificent new home of St
AIMS Orphanage was laid yesterday
afternoon. The sky was fiecked here
and there with a dash of thickening
clouds, and the cool soft breezes
seemed to re-echo the heavenly an
thems sung TO Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
kearnS for their generosity in provid
ing means for the erection of a new
home for motherless and fatherless
children. Down in the pretty field

A concourse of fully 5000 people wit

and seats had been erected on the

were all occupied by prominent citi-

Remarks By Governor Wells.
Following a solo, THE Holy City
rendered by Mrs. G.. c. Sutton, Gov
ernOr Heber NJ. Wells delivered an ad-
dress. The governor spoke as follows:
1T Is an exceedingly interesting and
notable occasion that brings US to-
gether today-the laying of the corner
stone of great charitable institution
the Keans ST. AIMS Orphanage-
and 1t may be rruthfully said that it
marks an epoch in the progress of our
state. When communities or men be-
gin the endowment of great charities
it shows that their thoughts and aims
are growing more exalted than for
mere money getting, and that their
struggle for plain existence is over OF
course, they have to get the money be-
fore they can endow the charities. but
when men pause in their mad pursuit
of wealth TO bestow fortune upon
charity, it demonstrates not only that
they have been blessed in their pockets
and in their store. but that they have
been blessed in their hearts with that
love and kindness to their fellow men
that Christ taught, and that they have
learned the sacred lesson: 1t is more
blessed TO give than to receive.
Fortunes have been made in Utah
out OF her everlasting hills. out of the
fertility of her valleys, out of the
sweat of mems brows. in mills and
smelters. and those who have alnassed
these fortunes have accomplished MANY
deeds of charity. perhaps, vet it seems
TO me this is the first great single ben
efaction to be bestowed during the
lifetime OF the benefactors. and as such
ii is appropriate that it should be ex
tolled, even as charity is extolled NV
the Scriptures, as the greatest of the
virtues. l know the Savior's iniunc
ton is that when thou doest thine
aims do not sound a trumpet before
thee. as the hypocrites do in the syna-
gogues and in the streets, that they
may have glory of men, but as there
is no injunction against the sounding

ings.

New York, Aug. FIT is learned on
excellent authority that the Northern
Pacific company some time ago dis
posed of its entire holdings of Oregon
Railway & Navigation company pre-
ferred TO a banking house in this city,
which is closely identified with Union
Pacific interests. The Oregon Short
Line. which is controlled by the Union
Pacific, is the owner of practically all
the common stock of the Oregon Rail-
road & Navigation company.
The controlling interests in the pre-
ferred stock of the latter corporation
has been owned jointly by the Union
Pacific, Northern Pacific and Great
Northern. the holdings of these last
two being equal in amount, but the
Union Pacific holdings being much
larger than those of either of the
others. BY the transfer of the Northern
Pacific's interest it is understood the
Union Pacific secures control of the
preferred stock of the Oregon Railway
& Navigation. the common stock of
which it already controlled through its
relation with the Oregon Short Line.
