ADVANTAGE OF TIME CLOCKS.
Auditor Castle Regards Them as an
Excellent Institution

Mr.. Henry A. Castle, auditor for the Post
Office Department, deprecates the action of
Congress in putting its stamp of disapprov-
al upon the time clocks, and so legislating
that hereafter they will not be a part of
the departmental service. To a reporter
Of The Star today Auditor Castle said
Speaking from the experience of this
office, the time clock has been a most excel
lent institution. 1t has regulated bad
clerks better than any system previously
tried, and brought about a system of eff
cheney that was not dreamed possible.
the clerks three months to get accustomed
to them. In that period L carefully exam
ined the record and found that fully one
third of the clerks were in the habit of ar
irving after . o'clock. In a large force a
few minutes hardness by several clerks
day equals the services of a clerk or two.
The majority of the conscientious clerks
are in favor of the clocks. They get full
credit for the overtime they work, a thing
impossible under the old system. Time
clocks in my office are almost indiSpenSa-
BILE. We have a very small force, and the
work is behind in every branch but one.
We need the services of every clerk every
minute. In my annual report recommend
ed fifty additional clerks absolutely nee
essary for the proper conduct of my office.
Thus far 1 have been allowed eight. 1t is
my intention to ge before the Senate COM
mittee and make another effort to have the
number increased. If Congress does not
give me substantial assistance in this mat
ter l shall be put to the necessity of turn
ing out a large number of old clerks and
replacing them with young, energetic
workers who are capable of doing more
work This is a hard thing to contemplate,
but something must be done"

UTAH WOMEN FOR ROBERTS.
Those of the Mormon Faith Defend
Their RELIGION.

A special dispatch to the Philadelphia
Press from Salt Lake City yesterday says:
The women of Utah declare that Roberts
ought to sit in Congress. The women of
Utah voted when Utah was territory and
they are voting now. They run for office
and they electioneer. They can tell YOU
more about politics in minute than an
average woman will learn in a lifetime
The Mormon religion teaches that woman
cannot enter into everlasting peace alone.
Mrs. Amelia Young favorite wife of Brig
ham Young, said to me today:
"Of course, | voted for Mr.. Roberts and
he Will take his seat, too, believe WHY
did | vote for him? l wanted to see what
would happen if we elected a man who
lives our religion as his fathers lived it. |
wanted to see if the world had grown any
harder minded. | wanted to know whether
the old prejudice lived.
Il remember all the trouble they made
about Brother Cannon when he was elected
and just made up my mind that we ought
to try again and see what would happen.
I'm finding out, and this is what | voted
for You know | married the president
after he had many other wives. | felt at
first as if | was marrying some other wo-
mans husband and getting found out, but l
soon learned to see how selfish / could be
and see the beauty of plural marriage, as
all see it who have lived it,
Aunt Zenia, one of Brigham Youngs first
wives, spoke thus:
plural marriage is the best thing for
women. l believe they are happier in it
and better off than they are in monogamy
l lived in the Bee Hive with all the other
wives, and l never heard one cross word
between any of us We loved each other
like sisters and we loved each others chill
dren like our own. There was never any
thing but peace and good will between us
Yes, l believe in plural marriage and al
ways did"
Mrs. Alice Horne, member of the Utah
legislature, declared:
Il am a great admirer of Roberts. He is
a great man. | believe in him. and | did
all l could to elect him. l hope he will
take his seat. l am not a plural wife NV
people were all polygamists, but l was only
married just before the law against polyg-
amy. Do L believe in it? My religion
teaches me to believe in 1t. My people be-
lieve in their religion and they try TO live
it."

THE HAVANA DRY DOCK,
Offer for It's Purchase Made to the
Spanish Officials.

The government of the United States ex-
poets now to become the possessor of the
fine floating dry dock at the Havana navy
yard, having made a proposition for its
purchase to the Spanish officials, which it
is believed will be accepted Just as was
anticipated some private bidders entered
the field against the government, in the
hope of acting as middlemen, and making
a good turn out of the transaction. They
were soon confronted however, by the dis
agreeable fact that the site of the dry dock
was not to be sold with the dock itself, be-
longing, as it does, to the permanent prop
erty which passed from the Spanish con-
troll. Then the Spanish government has
been obliged 10 spend $40 900 to prepare
basin by dredging, in which the dock could
be operated, and as any private concern
seeking to operate the dock at a new site
would be obliged to expend at least as
much more to prepare 1t for the dock, 1t
was seen at once that the chances of MAX
ing a profit out of private deal were very
much reduced. The price offered for the
property is believed to be fair to both
sides of course, it is not in good con-
dition as it was when first installed owing,
in a large part to the carelessness of the
Spanish managers but this damage can be
repaired at a reasonable cost, and the prop
erty made of value as part of the naval
establishment. -

GOLD FIND IN UTAH.
Discovery Made in Blue Mountains
Near Colorado Line.

VERNAL, Utah, January 12.-Considera-
BILE excitement has been created by rich
gold discoveries twenty-five miles east of
this place in the Blue mountains, near the
Colorado line. The discovery was made
by Doc" Mcdonald, a veterinary surgeon
of the 9th Cavalry. He served in the Span
ish war and while at New York recovering
from fever met a man named johnson,
who had formerly lived in eastern Utah,
and who told him that he had found rich
float, describing the location. When the
9th Cavalry returned to Fort Duchesne,
Mcdonald commenced to search for the
vein.
