STORY OF A CUT RATE.
Michigan southern's War Was Of
Brief Duration.

-
A war in passenger rates that was
threatened few days ago has been
snuffed out so quietly that not one in
ten of Salt Lakes railroad men knows
anything about it. The local roads
would not have been affected. except
in a remote way, by the proposed fight
April 3, a Salt Lake railroader with
eastern connections, received a supple
ment to schedule No. 1 of the Michi-
gan Southern.
BY the terms of the new schedule, the
rate from Chicago to New York was
cut from $40 to SIS and like reduction
to other eastern points was made. The
schedule was dated April >, and ordered
effective three days later. The agent
who received it filed it away for future
reference and prepared to use it as a
basis for eastern business. Two days
after the cut became operative the
agent received a letter recalling it and
directing him to return it to the general
offices of his own company at the ear
lest possible moment
Ever since this citizen has been rack
ing his gray matter in a vain attempt
to figure out what caused the South
ern's rate gymnastics. He believes the
other members of the Central Traffic
association must have stepped in with
a well grown club and forced the
Southern back into line.
It was explained that the proposed
cut would have made a difference of
just so cents in the price of a ticket
from Salt Lake to New York City The
regular through rate is $62 and the
price of a ticket had the reduction re-
manned in force, would have been $61- so.
That's the way local ticket agent
figured it out, but he would have some
difficulty in making the public under
stand his arithmetic.

The new site for the University of

ances. Here members of the faculty
and students of the university will
plant a number of trees that will in flu
ture years provide welcome shade and

UNIVERSITY TREE PLANTING.
The university students generally
have decided to celebrate Arbor day in
a very practical way. Last Thursday a
mass meeting of the students was held,
and it was then decided that the Vari-
Gus classes should plant trees on the
new site. A general managing commit
tee was appointed, and the classes were
advised to meet and decide definitely
as to details of the work.
In response to this general invita-
'tion, almost all the classes have met
and arranged for an active day in tree
planting The seniors, nine in number,
will meet upon the new site and each
plant an elm tree. The juniors have ar
ranged to plant fruit trees; the sopho-
mores will each place an evergreen, and
the freshmen naples. The college
women have arranged to plant ash
striplings. The normal class of '99,
some seventy in number, will each
place a horse-chestnut, and the class
of 90 will set out fifty oaks and ma
pies. The preparatory classes of the
first two years will also meet upon the
new site, to place their portion of the
future beauty of their new home. The
site is 1900 feet wide and 1900 feet
long, and it is intended to plant a
double row of trees around the entire
campus; some, also, may be placed
within the field, although the grounds
have not been laid off as yet. 1t is
probable that during the day the stu
dents will plant upwards of 300 trees.

He Made No Mistake.

a Chicago woman enjoyed a bit of a
joke the other day at the expense OF a
shopkeeper. 1t seems that she went to
the shop and purchased a quantity OF
goods, for which she paid cash.
The goods We're sent to her home and
upon unwrapping them she found just
double the quantity she had ordered ard,
paid for. A few days later she Went TO
the shop and started to explain thSmat-
ter She had said:
"A mistake was made in ms sOrder.''
when the clerk with whom she had dealt
on her previous visit interrupted: on.

Dakota troops in the Philippines, that
the troops will be brought home as soon
as deemed expedient by the United
States. and as soon as possible with the
transports at hand.
1t is held at the war department that
the law requiring the muster-out OF
troops eontecnplates that the executive
department shall have ample time tc
issue the necessary orders and make
preparations to properly discharge the
soldiers and bring them home. The
provision in the bill allowing the volun-
teers in the Philippines to be enlisted
for six months may be also construed
to mean that the volunteers will not be
mustered out before that time if they
re-enlist. That this view will be ten
able if the troops demand to be mus
tered out is generally conceded, for
Chairman Hull stated on the floor of
the house when asked if the six months
clause would be construed to continue
the volunteers in the Philippines if they
wanted to come home, replied that he
had the assurance of the administra-
ton that such would not be the con-
struction.
An official of the department said that
the matter was in the hands of General
Otis and that it would be satisfactorily
arranged between him and the volun-
teeTS in the service

ARBoR DAY IN SCHOOLS.
Devoted to the Study of Plants, Trees
and Birds.

Arbor day in the city schools, with
few EXCEPTIONS was not observed with
literary programmes, but was in great
part devoted to a study of plants, trees
and birds. Within the past few years
there haa been a disposition to set
apart one day to the habits and useful
ness of birds, but the course OF study
requires so much Of the time and en-
ergy of both teacher and pupils that
teachers have not found time to devote
to so interesting a study, except in con-
nection with Arbor day Observances, As
a rule this day has heretofore fallen on
a school day, when programmes were
arranged and rendered, and the schools
dismis.5ed fer the remainder of the day
This year the governor having appoint
ed the 18th as Arbor day, the school eX-
ercises We're held the day before.

OREGON TROOPS WILL STAY.

Trouble Is Over.

Trouble Is Over.
Portland. Ore, April IA special to
the Oregonian from Salem says:
Governor T. T. Geer, when asked
today TO express an opinion regarding
the demand being made by governors
of several states for the immediate
discharge of the volunteers now serv-
ing in the Philippines, said:
There is quite a general wish among
the people of Oregon that the volunteer
soldiers of the state may soon be re-
turned from Manila, but not for the
reason indicated by the governors of
the states Of South Dakota and Nebras-
ka, to-wit: that the present conflict in
the Philippines is in opposition to lib
erty and in the interest of capitalists
The Oregon boys at the front quite
generally express a desire to remain
there until the difficulty is settled.
Our people take no stock in the
declaration that the conflict in the
Philippines is 'waged in opposition to
liberty and in the interest of capital
ism The very men who make this
charge now are the ones who. little
more than a year ago were loudly ac-
cusing President Mckinley of coward
ice, and of delaying the war with Spain
in the interest of capitalism as rep
resented by Spanish bondholders.
The Selling of the Philippines was
an incident of that war wholly unfore-
seen by anybody, applauded by every
patriotic citizen at the time and they
could not now be relinquished without
a faint on our national honor and q
confession of national weakness.
1.-The charge that the American flag
is waving over conflict in the Philip
pines in opposition to liberty and in
-
much of a spirit of demagogy to which
the people of oregon are habitual
strangers, and which finds no Judgment
in their minds at this time

WARRANTS HELD UP.
Question of Some Interest to State
Institutions.

From the fact that the boards of
control of state institutions, notably
the state insane asylum board, of which
State Auditor Richards is a member,
have made requisition for funds with
which to pay expenses for the preced-
ing month when balance remains
uneXpended from the prior month, the
state auditor has requested an opinion
from Attorney General Bishop as to
the intent of. the new law relating to
manner of drawing warrants upon ap-
propriated funds as requisitioned for
Auditor Richards inclines to the belief
that he NAV not legally issue war
rant to the asylum board to pay the
months bill unless it be for the differ
ence between the asylums unexpended
balance and the amount desired for the
month. Until the attorney general
gives an opinion on the subject the au-
ditor will not draw warrants for these
accounts.
