entire state as we'll, feel under the
fullest obligation to the Honorable
U. S. Fish Commissioner for his
.liberality in this matter. And the
successful effort of Commissioner
Barrett in the procurement, care,
protection and culture Of the fish
meets with that earnest approval
which he, in justice, is entitled to.
The interest in fsh-culture in our
state is on the increase among all
classes. Our considerate governor
is giving his hearty and sympa-
thetic cooperation in the work,
and the same is true Of our con-
gressmen, and Senator Hansbrough
in particular, who aids in all posi-
BILE ways in this practical under
taking.
Up to the present time all the
fish for our state waters have been
carried free Of cost by the various
railways. This generous action on
behalf Of the transportation lines
is most highly valued and COM
mended by the masses at large, in
whose benefit the work is done.
The many fish thus far planted
from time to time, will tend in a
large measure to stock our waters
with cheap and wholesome food, so
highly valued by the people at
large, besides affording much plea

On August 10th, our state fish
commissioner. Hon. w. w. Bar
rett, came in from the east with a
full carload of fish, amounting to
10000. most Of which were black
bass. The fish were furnished on
MI. Barrett's application by the
United States fish commission,
they being taken from the Missis-
sippi river at Bellevue, Iowa. The
"a was under the superintendency
of 7. @. Pierce, a most efficient
and courteous official, He had a
crew of four men whose duties were
to care for and deliver the fish at
different stations. On arrival of
the car Chief of Police Hurst was
given in charge Of the allotment
for Devils Lake, where they were
soon placed under his instruction.
On entering upon his duties
some years ago, as state fish COM
missioner, Mr. Barrett laid out his
work in this manner: To furnish
fish on all applications and at the
same time to give the fullest posi-
BILE amounts to Devils, Stump and
Spiritwood lakes, with the view of
making them breeding lakes"
where large quantities of fish
might be propagated and cult
waited. In the opinion of Mr..
Barrett this course of action has
worked favorably. And while this
last carload of fish was allotted to
twenty different places, on so many
orders, in various divisions of the
state, the three named breeding
lakes had their fair and liberal
amounts.
Although we are Informed the
national government has thirty
eight hatcheries and stations and
numerous joint hatcheries with
different states, still the demand
for fish from the various states and
territories is far in excess of the
supply. Hence it will be seen

WAS GREAT DEMONSTRATION.
Parade In San Francisco In Honor
of the Returned Volunteers.

San Francisco, Aug. 26.-The popu-
lar welcome of the California volun-
teers, who arrived from Manila on the
transport Sherman, reached its climax
tonight in parade which has scarcely
ever been exceeded in this city for size
or picturesque features. The crowds
in the streets exceeded by far those
ever before called out by any similar
demonstration, the sidewalks on many
of the principal thoroughfares being
practically impossible for hours. The
entire city was Illuminated, thousands
of electric lamps being swung across
the streets and the city hall and ferry
depot being outlined in light.
The parade started from the northern
end of Van Ness avenue at an early
hour, but it was late before it passed
through the business section of the
city. Almost every civic and military
organization in this part of the state
was represented in the long line which
comprised the escort to the home-com-
ing troops, and the hundreds of thou
sands of spectators along the line of
march were wildly enthusiastic.
The work of the executive committee
in planning and carrying out the three
days celebration of the arrival of the
Californians has been carried out with
out a hitch, and the display tonight
was safely said to have been the finest
ever seen on this coast.

BRYAN TO VISIT UTAH LATER

HIS RETURN.
Silver's Champion Will Send Word
From California of the Exact Date
Will Speak In This City.

Until a few days ago it was antici-
Salt Lake on his way to the Yellow
stone Park and the coast, but recent
advices indicate that the distinguished
gentleman will not enjoy the hospital
ity of Utah until he is homeward
bound. The change of programme is
gratifying to Salt Lake from the fact
that had Mr.. Bryans visit here been
on his outward trip it would necessar-
lily have been brief, while a postpone
ment until the second or third week in
September will enable him to prolong
his stay beyond what was originally
intended by him.
Information of Mr.. Bryan's conclusion
to defer his visit to Salt Lake was re-
ceived yesterday by Hon. James H.
Moyle, chairman of the state Demo-
cratic committee, in the following let
ter addressed to him by Mr.. Bryan last
Monday from Lincoln, Neb.:
Your favor of July II received on
my return TO the city, also your tele-
gram. In accordance with your sug-
gestion l will not stop at Salt Lake on
my way west, but viii stop on my re-
turn, if conditions are favorable to a
meeting. 1 will wire you from Cali
fornia when / know the date of my re-
turn"
As soon as it is known just when Mr.
Bryan will visit Salt Lake. Chairman
Moyle will perfect arrangements for
monster greeting to the recognized
champion of bimetallism. 1t is intended
that Mr.. Bryan will address a large
meeting of citizens in this city on the
issues of the day.

holding next years national encamp-
ment in Salt Lake in a manner that
will win acceptance, prompt action is
necessary
Colonel Kaighn and his colleagues
have done everything within their pow
er to interest the people in the under
taking of securing Salt Lake for the
next encampment, and say that wheth-
er the final effort shall be made is for
the public TO decide. The great pecu-
MARY benefit of having the big encamp

no discussion. There is strong prob

Sheriff Lindsay Of Summit county.
according TO a report that reached
Sheriff Howells yesterday, is the most
indulgent gaol keeper that ever turned
a key The officer believed once that
the fact that a man is prisoner
shouldn't necessarily debar him from
all enjoyment. He probably entertains
a different idea now. but up to a day
or two ago he was strongly imbued
with it.
Saw a Celebration.
Acting on his theory, Sheriff Lindsay
concluded, when the reception was
given at Park City TO the returned vol
1lnteers, that it would be a good thing
TO take two of his prisoners over to it.
Hurley and Shepard, alleged cattle
thieves, were selected as companions
for the sheriff. The official figured that

that if they stayed in the jail he might
have TO remain behind also. Therefore,
the trio departed in peace. harmony

The celebration as viewed by Lind

only whetted his appetite for more.
He concluded to stay for the BAN
quet, according to the story, but didn't
like to present Hurley and Shepard at
the festal board. For a time he was
in a quandary. Finally a great light
dawned on him. and he said, or is re-
ported as saying:
Boys. skip back to the house now
End get your supper. I'll be along af-
ter the banquet to lock you up"
The "Boys" SKIPPED.
The boys skipped all right enough.
They went TO the sberiff's residence for
supper. Afterward-well, the Sheriff
would like right well to know exactly
where they did go afterward. With
hearts overlooking with gratitude at
Lindsay's kindness, Hurley and Shep-
ard sauntered over to a corral main
tained by one Ike Hunter.
There they secured two horses and
headed for parts unknown. The men
were charged with breaking into
Park City slaughter pen and stealing
a steer. which they killed and peddled
in Salt Lake. They were captured here
and Sheriff Howells wanted to try them
on charge of disposing Of stolen prop
erty. On the advice of the county at
torney, however, he returned them TO
Summit county.
IT is said that Sheriff Lindsay may
be dealt with by the Summit county
commissioners under a section of the
statutes which prohibits jailer from
voluntarily releasing prisoners

Mrs. Pickett Strangely Frustrated at the Moment Her Son
Was Killed.

One of the most dramatic incidents Of
the recent Morris-Benbrook tragedy
has not been related. 1t is how the
news of his death was conveyed to the
young florists mother, Mrs. Pickett.
Between I and O'Clock on the evening
of the tragedy, Mrs. Pickett was sit
ting on her front porch, when, as she
describes it, a ''pang'' shot through her
whole body, and she fell from the porch
onto the ground below, with her grand
daughter in her arms. Mrs. Pickett
arose unhurt, and was at a loss for
any reason why she should have been
so affected. She felt so depressed after
the occurrence, however. that she re-
tired early. but was unable TO sleep.

State Encampment.

The preiiminaries of the annual en-
campment are assuming shape. An eff
fort was made yesterday to arrange for
the transportation of out-of-town COM
paniss, but owing to the early closing
of the railroad offices, nothing definite
was accomplished. Full arrangements
will probably be made early this week.
With the recent strengthening of the
guard and with the hearty co-opera-
ton and interest of the men, the COM
ing encampment promises to be the
most successful yet held.

The month of August is between
seasons, and if business holds its own
at this time merchants, builders, farm
ers and bankers feel that fall and win
ter trade will be satisfactory in vol
ume. In comparison with previous
periods business of every kind has been
better this Aust by Is to 20 per cent.
Collections are easier and orders for
the near future are coming in freer. A
noticeable improvement in retail trade
is reported, and dealers are stocking up
heavier than at the close of any sum-
mer in years past. The mining activity
continues undated, soon the bounteous
crops will move to market, livestock in
tereSts are 1ourishing, money is easily
obtained by borrowers, capital is less
timid in approaching investment in real
estate. buildings and securities, and al
together the outlook for greater i'm
mediate prosperity in the state is as
surfing to a high degree.
Gain In Clearings.
A certain indication of the improved
commercial and industrial conditions is
the rate of increase in the bank clear
ings. In volume the clearings are
small, as they always are for this seas
on of the year, but the showing is
nevertheless gratifying. Last week s
clearings aggregated S2,02S, 557.S1, a gain
of ESQ per cent over the same week of
last year. With a few exceptions the
per cent of Salt Lakes increase is larg-
er than that of any other city in the
country of the same class.
Lively Inquiry For Realty.
Zeal estate agents report a lively in
quiry for choice residence property and
eligible sites in the business and ware
houes districts. Many important deals
are pending. That more transactions
have not been closed is due to the fact
that investors are watching to pick up
the few remaining snaps. The main
reason that agents are not able to close
more deals is the difficulty of bringing
buyer and seller together. Prices are
rapid growth that every one believes is
near at hand.
No Houses For Rent.
Rents are going up, too. Rental
agents have great difficulty in finding
vacant houses for tenants. Very many
families are coming from Idaho. WyCm-
ing, Montana, Nevada and western Col
orado and various perts OF the state to
this city to reside, the attraction being
the excellent school advantages to be
obtained here. All are looking for
houses, but the demand far exceeds the
supply.
This fact alone ought to be a strong
er incentive to men of means to build
modern homes for desirable class of
tenants.
Real estate loans can be obtained at
6 per cent interest, or less, and moneyed
men are awakening to the fact that
their capital will earn more by i'm
proving property than to meet compe-
tition in the loan market.
Investment Stocks.
There is an active demand for divi-
dend paying shares in commercial COM
panies and banks. but the offerings at
prices quoted are few. Following are
current quotations:
