Price, Utah, July Parties in from
Whitmore canyon, the present terminus
of the branch road of the Rio Grande
Western, say a party of surveyors are
now at work, and have been for sew
eral days trying to find an easy pass
over the divide that lies between the
proposed townsite and Nine Mile can
yon to the east and north of there. 1t
is the conviction of those who have
have watched the work already done.
that the road is to be pushed on to
point near the reservation, probably to
the Duchesne river, as soon as the ties
are down to the new coal fields.
The reports published to the effect
that Irving Green of Salt Lake City
had been out at the head of Willow
creek with a party of surveyors in the
interest of the Rio Grande Western, are
ridiculed here. There is an Irvine
Green on the reservation making a sur
vey, but he is there for mining COM
pany, and has his headquarters in Den
Yer. The road, if put through to the
Duchesne river, would shorten the haul
to the Vernal country, bringing that
town to within thirty-five miles of a
railroad. This would sdivert to a con-
siderable extent the freight that is now
forwarded via Price to that section.
1t is said the contract for forwarding
the government freight, which now
goes out from here, would not be af-
fected for at least a year, for which
length of time the contract is already
let. About two miles of the Whitmore
canyon line is now complete and prac-
tically ready for the ties, and the
camps have been moved up to that dis
lance from Mounds Station on the main
line. The contracts are being let in
half mile sections in order TO push the
work along as rapidly as possible.
There are now some thirty-five miners
at work in the canyon engaged in the
of the coal deposits.

VICTORY FOR SUNDAY BALL.
Trial of Ogden Ball Player For Vio-
lating Sunday Ordinance.

lat1nS sunday ordinance.
Especial Correspondence
ogden. June 30.-The trial of John
Greenwich for playing baseball on Sun
day was on today, before Justice Hula
niski. The hearing proceeded along
the lines as forecasted by The Herald
several days ago. The validity of the
ordinance was attacked on the ground
that il was drawn in a defective man
ner. 1t provides that any person found
guilty of ball playing, etc. on Sunday,
shall be fined not TO exceed 800, but
does not say such playing is unlawful"
w. II. Smith, representing the city
attorney, asked for a postponement of
the hearing, in order that he might get
some more authorities to cite in sup
port of the validity of the ordinance,
and continuance was granted until
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.
In granting the continuance, Justice
Hulaniski intimated that unless other
presidents and authorities could be
cited. he would have to release the de-
PENDANT. The friends of Sunday base
ball are now very much encouraged,
and regard Sunday playing as a GER
tainty. 1t is contended that even should
the city council desire to pass a new
ordinance prohibiting Sunday playing,
they have no power to do so, as there is
no state law against it, and the provis-
ions of the city's charter do not con-
fer this authority.
This case probably cannot be ap-
pealed.. for the reason that it is being
argued on demurrer to the complaint
and ruling on demurrer not being a
final order, no appeal can be taken.
However, should the case be decided
against Sunday baseball, another
player will be arrested and tried, and
the case appealed.

New York, June 30.-The following

ton between them. The yacht will be
conveyed to America by the steam
yacht Erin, which will also accompany
