Sheriff Thomas Haywick of Pan
guitch, Garfield county, came into towr
yesterday and registered at the White
House. Speaking G" his mission, Sher-
iff Haywick said: Last May hare
proposition by the name of Harry Small
was arrested in Panguitch for grand
larceny. He was locked up in the
county jail pending his trial. He sue
ceeded in breaking away before his tria
came on, and has had merry time OF
it since then touring the western states
l traced him to Spencer, Ind, and sew
eral days ago telegraphed the authori-
! ties there to apprehend him until ]
could procure the necessary requisition
papers from Governor, Wells. / OBJ
tanned the papers from the governor
this morning, and intend starting for
Indiana this evening. / shall fetch him
back with me, and will see that he en-
| joys no more vacations until his SEN
tence, whatever it may be, is fully
served"
| B. F. Forester, formerly one of the
mine inspectors, and now working in
| the interest of an eastern corporation
that has large holdings in the Sunny
| side coal mines, returned from that dis
trict last night and registered at the
Walker. Mr.. Forester announced:
The last spike was driven yesterday
evening in the road being constructed
! between Mounds and Sunnyside. Trains
VIII begin running as soon as the roll
ing stock is ready. The Clear Creek
branch is being pushed, and when I
left yesterday the construction depart
ment expected to finish work on it
about Sept. 20. The demand for coal

been impossible to fill orders; we have
offered all sorts of inducements, but in
spits of it we cannot get enough men to
operate the mines. In previous years
the output has amounted to about $780,
900 tons, but this years product will
figure above 100000 tons. There is
plenty Of anthracite coal in Utah, but it
is isolated from the railroads, and the
demand for it does not warrant the
building of ninety miles of railroad to
get at 1t; besides, there. are no other
resources near the anthracite fields that,
would help support the road, SO the
project of developing the mines IN that
vicinity will not be considered until
the demand warrants the expense"
Judge Miner of Salt Lake has just
returned from months vacation in,
southern California, and is now staying
at the Kenyon. Speaking of his trip
Judge Miner said yesterday: IT have
been enjoying life at the Coronado ho-
tel, and only the most pressing kind of
business took me away from it. The
climate down there is the most delight
full have ever known. On no occasion
did the thermometer rise above sew.
enty-eight degrees. I talked with sew
eral prominent people in Los Angeles,
and they were all anxious to see the
completion of the Utah & Pacific rail-
road. AS soon as communication is
opened up between Salt Lake and
southern California by that route the
railroads can induce hundreds of peo-
pie to visit Los Angeles and vicinity
who would otherwise never think of
making the journey"
Il understand that Mr. Newell. and a
party of engineers have gone into the
Uintah country to figure on the water
supply" said j. H. Mease of Fort DID,
chesne at the Kenyon yesterday. "A
test Of the water supply on the reser-
Walton at this time is not a fair one.
unless they are after the minimum sup
ply. We had no snow last winter, and
there has been practically no rain this
summer. The government, to get the
average supply of water on the reser-
walton, should make two tests, one in
June or July, when the streams are
overfiowing their banks, and the other
at this season, and then average the
TWO. notice that both Mr.. Newell and
colonel Myton have expressed their
views on the question of educat ting the
Indian away from home, and then re-
turning him to his tribe I agree with
both of them that it is the worst sort
OF mistaken kindness. The educated
Indian has nothing in common with the
other members of his tribe after his
return, and he becomes either norose.
or develops combination of the white
ana red mans viciousness and becomes
the worst native on the reservation ~
Not long since DIR. Tiff bethought him
of the deplorable condition of the willy
copper skins that inhabit the Uintah
reservation. so he straightway hied
himself thither to peer meath the sur
race Of things, wean the Indian from
ms lniqultous ways, and inject some of
the regenerating, Christianizing fluid
into him As the clergyman approached
the chieftains suppressed murmur of
acEfiration went forth throughout the
Indian village. His frock coat and
flowing white hair betokened a kindly
disposition, so there arose the cry, "a
speech. speech from the prophet of
the palefacesi" The doctor heard Of
the futility of attempting to talk the
savage into discarding the blanket and
kindred comforts for ill-fitting pants
and undershirts, SO he said: mo, wor-
thy runners off of the white mans
sheep, l know not how to talk, but l
will sing a song" Without further ado
the patriarchal domonie chanted the
refrain that appertains to the promised
land over there, over there" Anomin-
Gus silence followed the last refrain
and then the spokesman Of the tribe
arose and said: That word promised
has familiar sound. In my three score
and ten years I have had some deal
jOgs with politicians and other breeds
OF white men, and have learned to know
the worth of promises. Reverend doc
tor, betake yourself to the lair of the
honest white man; promise what you
will, maybe he will believe it. My
people have been humbugged by that
word too oft in times gone by. We
don't give - for it,
