The Dutch In Afr4cn.

The Cape Dutch have no enthusiasm
for the English empire and the English.
To study their history from the time
we came TO the cape will explain that
fact. But it is to their interest to be
loyal, and they know it. And their OPP
ponents know it. But in the South
african political war game anything is
good enough to beat Dutch dog with.
The Dutch are slow. They are mostly
uneducated, as we understand educa-
tion. They. often seem stupid to a
quicker or town-bred mind. But the
man who buys q Dutchman for fool
will have a hard bargain. Even q
blindfolded Dutchman knows on which
side his bread is buttered, and their
mott to in interna tional politicsis .Bet-
ter the devil we know than the devil we
don't know. Fortn ghtly Review.

Ex-Auditor Fisher was Right. 49,:
The demurrer entered in the Fisher
case was argued before Judge Can't last
Saturday, County Attorney Titus and
@. o. Baldwin appearing for tho respec-
tive parties. 50 r.I H.
The court held that the objection
which Mr.. Baldwin had raised was valid,
that there had been decision given by
the Supreme Court which sustained Mr..
Fisher.
This will be pleasing news to every
one in the county. There has never been
any idea that Mr.. Fisher Intentionally
committed a wrong, and when he had
acted according to tho instructions OF
the public examiner it seemed rather
rough that he should have been placed
in the position in which he was.
The commissioners win undoubtedly
drop tho case without appealing to tho
supreme court,

OF SOLDIER DEAD
BODIES FROM CUBA REACH
NATIONAL CEMETERY.
Three Hundred and Fifty Will Be In
tered at Washington With Full
Military Honors.

Washington, April 1.-The funeral
train bearing the bodies of $50 soldiers
who lost their lives in Cuba and Porto
Rico arrived at Rosslyn, Va, this af-
ternoon, having passed through Wash
ington without stop. The train was
heavily draped in mourning and dec
grated with flags. The remains are en-
cased in Theoretically sealed caskets,
marked wherever possible, with the
name and regiment of the soldier.
These caskets were removed from the
train as rapidly as possible to the park
of the Arlington cemetery, where the
final interment is to be made. A large
number of tents have been erected
there for the safe keeping of the re-
mains until arrangements have been
perfected for their interment.
There are about $3.50 of these bodies
to be buried at Arlington. The funeral
train, after discharging at Rosslyn, will
return to New York and receive the re-
mainder OF the bodies. 1t is expected
the shipment will be completed by
Tuesday afternoon. In case arrange
ments can be perfected by that time,
the funeral ceremony Of the entire
number will be held at the cemetery
next Wednesday. There is an impress
the arrangements cannot be completed
in time to permit Of the funeral before
Thursday.
Full military honors will be paid to
the memory of the patriots who lost
their lives in the West Indies. Orders
have been issued for the participation
of troop H of. the Third cavalry at
Fort Myer and three batteries of ar
tillery from Washington barracks, to-
gether with the band of the Fourth ar
tillery. The military escort will be in
command of Colonel Frank L. Guenther
of the Fourth artillery, and includes
all the available regular troops in this
vicinity
The president has under consideration
a. proposition for the participation of
the District national guard in the flu
neral ceremonies next week, and it is
probable that they will be ordered out
for duty on that occasion. In special
recognition of the occasion, and in or
der to permit the government en-
ployees to assist in doing honor to the
memory of the soldiers who lost their
lives for their country, all the govern
ment departments will be closed at
noon on the day set apart for the fu-
neral ceremony.

BEAT RIVER CANAL SYSTEM
DAVID EVANS AND ]. E. DOoLY
ARE NOW CHIEF OWNERS.
What Originally Cost 81, 500, 900 Was
Bid In For $3.50, ooo-It viii Be
Improved and Extended.

The placing of the affairs of the old
Bear River Canal company on an en-
tirely new footing was accomplished
yesterday by the incorporation of the
Bear River Water company, which has
succeeded to the ownership of the prop
erty, rights and franchises of the larg-
est canal system in the world. Eight
or nine years ago the thirty miles Of
main canal and the hundred odd miles
of lateral bitches We're built at a cost
of about S1,500,000 to afford irrigation
facilities for the arid, fertile valley in
northern Utah and southern Idaho.
The company failed, and William Gar
land, the contractor, foreclosed his lien.
At the end of a long period of litigation
the lienholder was successful and the
bankrupt canal company and the bond
holders failed TO redeem the property
from sheriff's sale.
Recently, David Evans obtained an
option from Mr.. Garland for the pur-
chase of the canal property. and the
price specified in the agreement was
paid over last week. The consideration
was S250,000 and Mr.. Evans assigned
his contract of purchase TO the new
corporation formed yesterday and
known as the Bear River Water COM
pany.
The capital stock of the corporation
is fixed at S250,00O, fully paid. in shares
of 800. The bulk of the stock is owned
by Mr.. Evans and John p. Dolly, who
became associated with Mr.. Evans in
the purchase of the property and the
formation of the new company. David
Evans is president; ]. Z. Dolly. vice
president; Charles L. Hoag. secretary;
Wells, Fargo & Co.'S bank in Salt Lake
City, treasurer, and Leah Evans and
K. G. Belcher are the other directors
and incorporators.
The purpose of the new company is
to repair, improve and extend the canal
system in the counties of Rich, Cache,
Box Elder, Weber, Davis and Salt Lake,
in the state of Utah, and in She south
ern part of Idaho, for the irrigation Of
farm and orchard lands and for NUM-
cipal, domestic, manufacturing and
power purposes.

FELL DOWN as USUAL.
Southern Pacific Brings Ellis Com
pany In Ten Hours Late.

The Southern Pacific fell down again
yesterday with a big passenger haul
from the coast. This is getting to be
an old story with this road. 1t will be
remembered that a delayal in their
train prevented The Sign of the Cross
company from playing the first night
of their recent engagement in this
city. This time their belated service
is at the expense and inconvenience of
the Ellis Opera company, which, due to
arrive at ogden early yesterday morn
ing, did not reach that city until after
3 O'Clock last evening, and the company
used this as an excuse for canceling it's
date here. OF course, it is probable
that the delay was unavoidable, but the
story is such a chestnut that the line
has become a target for criticism
throughout the Whole country. What
g. blessing it will be when Uncle Col
lis" has a competitor, not placed at a.
disadvantage from the mileage stand
point, from this region to the coast.
