PRICE WANTS A HOTEL.
Citizens Willing to Help Out a Good
Hotel Man.
(specIal Correspondenee.::

iOpeCldl correspondence
Price Utah, April 21.-Price people want
a modern, up-to-date hotel and when they
want anything they are willing TO put up
their money for it. To properly cater to
the travel centering here, there should be
a modern house of twenty-five or thirty
five guest rooms. To build and equip
such a hosiery il is roughly figured that
$1,000 to $50, 90 viii be necessary. a. Bal
linger of the Price Trading company.
bankers and merchants is much interest
ed in the proposition, and authorizes The
Herald correspondent to state that he
will take half the stock in the PROPOSE
ton. At the same time, he wants sno
strings on the deal. The other fellow,
when he puts up the cash, can do the
business and look after the concern. But
he must be a practical hotel man, or have
such a person in charge. Price is the
distributing point for some eight or ten
towns to the south, in Emery county, and
Vernal, Fort Duchesne, White Rocks, Ou-
ray and other points to the east and
north. 1t is figured that 100 travelling men
come here each month, to say nothing of
mining men, army officers. government
inspectors and officials, and the mer-
chants and others of surrounding towns,
who come in by stage and private con-
veyance. on the way to Salt Lake City
and elsewhere. Every person makes two
stops at Price hotel: that is going and
coming. The proposition is one that will
pay anyone who wants to enter the hotel
business to investigate. The business
would always be a growing one.

Amends Articles of Incorporation
Distinguished Railway Officials
In the City-Railway Notes.

Coalville, April 21.-Mr. Harris, SUI
perintendent of the Wyoming division
of the Union Pacific and other company
officials, We're here today for a short
time. having come on the company's
pay car but Tsere. here long enough to
give the information of a change in
the Company's affairs that will serious
~ affect many citizens, and more or
less the general community and bust
ness in general He announced that
the present telegraph office would be
discontinued. The train service ana
crew Low Oners ting on the branch from
here to the Weber and Grass Creek
mines, would also be discontinued.
That the present agent and operator
would be removed and in place thereof
a man be appointed to look after any
freight and express matters to be re-
caived or shipped. That the engine now
III use here will be sent to Echo and
the engineer, fireman and conductor be
also removed elsewhere. That an en-
CINE and train crew will be sent once
a week from Echo to take the loaded
cars from the mines here and at Grass
Creek and replace them with emptteS
sufficient to run them for a, week.
The object for all of which can only
be coniectured, but ii is generally sup
posed to be a move to economize, as 1t
is hardly thought that the receipts are
adequate for the expense of the branch.
The general superstition is that the
change will be made not later than next
Monday or Tuesday, when. Mr.. Edg-
ington, the engineer, with Mr.. Wheaton,
his fireman, Mrs. c. l. Wheaton, agent,
and Mr.. b. S. Chandler, the branch
conductor, will of necessity have to
look elsewhere for occupations. The
move seriously affects the whole COM
munity and the impressions will go
abroad that Coalville is degenerating,
end becoming of minor Importance.
While the facts are that there is no city
of equal size in Utah that has better
natural facilities for business and en-
terprise than are to be had here.
1t is believed and sincerely hoped that
the railroad company will soon discover
that such a change is not well taken,
and that it will resume the operations
thus abandoned and removed

SUBlUGATION OF F|LIP|NOS
WILL TAKE TEN YEARS, SAYS
GENERAL REEVE.
And Require An Army of 100000
Men-Volunteer Officer Just Re-
turned From Manila.

General c. NJ. c. Reeve, late colonel
of the Thirteenth Minnesota volun-
tecrs, spent a few hours in the city
yesterday, before proceeding on his way
home to Minneapolis, from Manila. He
thinks it will take ten years to subdue
the Filipinos and declares that all the
fighting which has so far been done
amounts TO little in the way of results,
for the reason that the rainy season is
now on and the American forces will
have to fall back on Manila and aban-
don all captured territory.
The general commendS General Law
ton as being the only officer high in
command with nerve enough to inform
government officials at home that it
would require 100,00 men to subdue the
Filipinos.
The general also said that Utah had
just cause to feel proud of her volun-
teers, for thew had especially distin-
guished themselves.
General Reeve left Manila in Febru-
airy and was in the assault on that
city wheil his regiment lost more in
killed and wounded than all the rest of
the army engaged. The general is ac-
companied ~ his wife, who has been
with him through the entire campaign.
The general and wife visited Saltair
in the afternoon and resumed their
journey last night.
General Reeve is the last of the VOL
unteer generals who have returned
home TO be mustered out of service by
order of the government.
