Received at the Golden Gate by Idaho
Officials and Friends.

The troops disembarked at 8
o'clock, Co. G of Idaho county be-
ing the first to come down the gang
plank, depositing their hand bag
gage on one side of the dock. TO
the name of j. c. Green, Il figure
six feet seven inches in height re-
sponded, while Joe Jones being
called soon after, appeared only
five feet three inches. Thus were
the giant and the midget of the
great aggregation on the Grant
represented in Co. G.
The Governor with his staff and
the Idaho delegation had by that
time assembled on the dock. Some
went in carriages, others on horse
back and some afoot, watching
formation of the line. Major
Howard Noble represented Gener-
al Shafter and aided the field Of
ficers in getting the column in mo-
ton.
Ladies with huge baskets filed
with flowers walked up and down
the line giving each one of the
boys punches of geraniums, pinks
or roses for the muzzle of his gun
or for his button hole.
The vicinity of the dock, the
city front, Market street, Van
Ness avenue and the whole length
of the route was lined with enthus-
iastic people, all eager to welcome
the returning heroes. Whistles
screamed, sirens shrieked and guns
were laundering a loud welcome
amid the deafening cheers Of the
multitude. Fully 10000 persons
viewed the parade and cheered the
Idaho boys on their march from
the transport to the camp.
Over 200 people from Idaho ac-
companied the troops to the Pre-
sidio in carriages or marching at
their side. Many San Francisco
people tramped alongside the Idaho
boys all the way and by the time
the boys reached camp they felt
entirely at home.

many visitors today to the cricket
grounds where Richard Coleman the
negro assailant and murderer of Mrs,
James Lashbrook, was yesterday burn

Mt. Pleasant. Dec. THE smallpox
scare received fresh impetus in this
city yesterday and today by the news
of the spreading of the disease in the
southern part OF tie county and by the
fact that George AIadsen, whose par

city.

visit TO Panguitch and was driving
bunch OF stock with him home. When
he got as far as Gunnison night over
took him and he went to hotel for
supper Almost his first word after
sitting down was an inquiry into the
smallpox situation. He was informed
that the hotel where he was was I'M
der quarantine for the disease and that
there were other cases in town. Ii is
needless to say he did not remain there
long.
Late Tuesday evening message was
received from the Gunnison marshal
here, saying that Madsen had been ex-
posed and that he was on his way
home. MadSen'S relatives here took it
upon themselves to see that he did not
stop here, so he was met south of town
and asked to pass through, which he
did. going to his home in Indianola,
where he now is.
The citizens here are taking the news
from the south very coolly and are not
allowing the scare to affect them much

and no restrictions have been placed
on public gatherings, nor will there
be, probably. until the disease reaches
here or it becomes general throughout
the state.
County Physician Morrey was in the
southern part of the county the fore
part of the week, and before returning
ordered that the general quarantine
on Sterling be raised and that all roads
in that neighborhOod be opened. a
guard has been placed over all the
quarantined persons in Sterling, how
ever, and all precautions will be taken
to keep it from spreading.

what has become of the 100000 re-
naming in the old Union Pacific hos-
pital fund. and which was to be re-
turned to the employees of the road two
years ago." That is a question that
some $1,000 men in the west would like
the officials to answer. There are be-
tween 400 and 500 of these employees
in Salt Lake. and there are Indications
that something is soon to drop. When
the Union Pacific road was sold sew
eral years ago il was discovered that a
surplus of over 100000 existed in
fund known as the hospital fund. and
contributed by the employees of the
road in 50-cent pieces monthly. There
was no alternative for the workmen
but to pay this fee, but they derived
the benefit of free treatment in case of
accident or sickness.
While the road was yet in the hands
of the receivers, blanks were sent out
to all the old employees, calling upon
them TO state the amount they had con-
tributed to the hospital fund, and after
having it sworn to before a notary pub
lie mail il to the receivers. The .circu-
lar sent out set forth that each man
should receive his share, and, of course,
the employees were not reluctant in
taking the proffered course. This was
in February two years ago, and the
blanks were 10 De returned 10 Judge

LAKE BREEZE SERVICE WILL
NOT BE RESTORED.
Company More Than Filled Its Con-
tract at a Loss-Pressure By
Council Meant Harm.

Under present conditions the residents
of the trans-Joraan country will have
to content themselves with an assured
declaration by the city council that no
relief is in sight in the direction of COM
pelling the Salt Lake City Railroad
company TO restore its Improbable
Lake Breeze car service west of the
river.
The committee on municipal laws,
with City Attorney Hall associated,
last evening wrestled with the problem
of how TO grant relief to the Lake
Breeze petitioners by compelling the
street car company to again operate the
trans-Jordan line, irrespective of how
Improbable the service is to the COM
pany. 1t was concluded, after much
talk. that the petitioners must wait
until the municipality chances to get

against the street car company on some
other one of the numerous franchises

it for three years. The line had never

theless, the company, in the vain hope
of the population west of the river
growing, had continued running cars
until last summer.
After Attorney Critchlow had made
it clear that the Lake Breeze line was
built in the interest of real estate spec
ulators, and j. j. Corum had pleaded
for a restoration OF car service, wheth-
or profitable or not to the company,
President McCune brought the weari-
some controversy to an issue in few
terse words. He said the company had
done more for the handful of Lake
Breeze people than in fairness could
have been expected. and if the council
wanted to give the franchise to anyone
else, the city is welcome to do il, but
the company would take up the line
from Sixth West out President Nc
Cune further declared taht the country
west never would be built up as the
Waterloo section had been. and it
would be futile to try TO force the COM
pcny to run cars out TO a region of
thirteen scattered houses.
The threat to abandon the line and
franchise from Sixth West street west
was not idle talk. and the committee
concluded to let the matter drop. This
conclusion will signify that cars will
continue to run to the, river, but other
